Hello everyone. Being a curious kind of guy, I have a few questions about USAFAPS. If you could answer any of these, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
1. Does the prep school have an intermural or professional level marksmanship/shooting team? If so, what are the requirements to join this marksmanship/shooting team?
2. What is BMT like and how much does it differ from BCT other than being shorter? I'm assuming Jack's Valley isn't part of the prep school's BMT?
3. What are prep schoolers referred to as? I know a C4C is referred to as a basic cadet until recognition, so what do they call prep schoolers?
4. Do prep schoolers interact with USAFA cadets much/at all?
5. When attempting to obtain nominations for the USAFA class of '17, I will be applying for noms in my home state correct?
6. Would it be a good idea to schedule a visit to USAFA, or is that not something prep schoolers can/should do?
7. What are the costs of USAFA prep school? Do we have to pay for books?
8. How much of a stipend do the prep schoolers recieve monthly? Roughly $990 before taxes right? Is this enough to cover any costs I may have at prep school?
10. What are the meals like? Do we get to dine in Mitchell Hall with the cadets and basics?
Thanks again!

8a. Are prep schoolers given credit cards or debit cards to make their transactions at the store? (Not a huge fan of credit cards just because I don't like debt, but I'm not a big spender so I'm not worried. Just want to know what I'll be using.)
9. I heard prep schoolers are allowed off campus on the weekends if they have satisfactory grades/military performance. What opportunities and activities are available to prep schoolers off campus on the weekends assuming they don't have studying to do?
