Short answer is no. There is talk of public wifi that could be made available. When and how much is still a mystery.

One of my daughters has ADD. I can't imagine how hard academy life must have been. You have all my respect and admiration.

You would arrive the day before. You are responsible for transportation and lodging. There is a shuttle bus that takes you to some of the hotels in the area and then you'd need a cab in the morning. Last year my DD went by herself. Her ALO was kind enough to put her in contact with a friend of...

You can always accept NAPS and if you get USMA, inform NAPS of the change. You would hardly be the first person to do so.

My DD simply received a LOA for the Prep. No TWE.

My DD went to the Prep with a USAA account and they never opened an Armed Forces Bank one. I would assume that it's the same at the hill.

Very true but from what my DD said almost all the preppies got the nominations. The ones who didn't are from districts where the MOC simply refuse to give nominations to preppies.

I can tell you how it works at USAFA Prep: 1. You do not apply again. 2. You do not take the SAT/ACT again 3. You must apply to all nomination sources available to you 4. You have to do decently in your academics, PT and military grades. In term of classes, you take English, Chem and 2 Math...

He was mentioned so who knows. Lol My DD got 2 nominations one from each party and we have no political connection.

Have you called the doctor that did the DODMERB for her? He might do it.

Hey they only get leave on the weekends and they have to wait until recognition to get their civvies. That's a serious violation of their rights. Lol.

In terms of which is more chill, first year at USAFA is probably harder than its counterparts, however after recognition life gets much easier and the USAFA cadets have more privileges than the USMA cadets.

I'd have to agree with New Kid. The media has not sensationalized other drug cases at other SA because it shows that the SA has taken swift action to stop the action of the few. Also because of criminal cases, they have to be very careful with what they say something that doesn't apply when...

I think that you should research this before researching USAFA and/or AROTC. When you said that you were considering naturalization, I assumed that you were a legal permanent resident. To become a citizen you need to be a legal permanent resident for three or five years. You can obtain...
