    Need some help..

    I'm not looking at the coast guard academy because from what I've heard, they don't have doctors and their job selections (I think CG uses the term ratings) in the medical field are very small. My plan is to go to one of the academies, with my back up being ROTC or SMP ROTC through the reserves...

    Need some help..

    So, Im a junior, and I've been hell bent on attending USAFA since my freshman year of high school, but I am starting to look at the other academies, and I want to apply for all of them. I've done my research on USAFA, USNA, USMA, but I've only learned bits and pieces about the merchant marine...

    Showdown! Job vs. Sports

    Here is kind of an update to my whole sports versus job thing- I'm doing both. I am in cross country this fall, I go to practice three days a week, and work two days a week (And on the days that I work, I practice with one of the coaches when I'm done milking. The coaches were willing to work...

    Showdown! Job vs. Sports

    Yes, I guess you could say my only lasting symptom is better organizational skills now than before. I'm in the process of gathering all my medical records now, but I know others have said I shouldn't wait, but what can I do now? My application doesn't start for almost a full year. Sent using...

    Past Concussion?

    I'm looking for some advice/direction on where to go from here. I'm a rising junior and I'm looking at going to one of the academies. I have a competitive package- 4.0 student, all the extra curriculars, sports, the whole nine yards. But, there is something I am worried about, this is my story...

    Showdown! Job vs. Sports

    Yes, I still have a full year before anything begins for me, that's why I'm not stressing about it at this exact moment. I was hoping that talking with some academy graduates will help send me in the right direction, because I have absolutely no idea where to start with the DoDMERB and a DOD...

    Showdown! Job vs. Sports

    Thanks for someone insight. I guess I should've posted a little about my academic background- I'm a rising junior, I scored a 26 on my ACT earlier this spring, with lots of room to improve. Last year I took- Algebra 2, English 10, Spanish 2, Health 10, Biology, Geometry, Music Theory and...

    Showdown! Job vs. Sports

    Thanks for the insight. I kinda laughed at how everyone said "he", when I'm a "she", but how were you to know that... My concussion was almost exactly a year ago, and it was one hell of a year, that's for sure. I was bucked off my horse one morning, and knocked out. We aren't sure how long I...

    Showdown! Job vs. Sports

    Hey everyone, I'm looking for a general consensus from some cadets on here. I want to go to a academy, not dead set on a single one yet, and I think that I am a competitive applicant. I'm a rising junior, 4.0 student, ranked first in my class, all the extra curricular activities... Blah blah...

    Rodeo Team?

    Okay, thanks! Are the horses owned by the academy or the cadets? And okay, I'm not sure how to ask this, but is the rodeo team considered a sport? I'm pretty sure it is an intercollegiate sport. Does the team travel to rodeos like other intercollegiate teams? Does the amount of time...

    Rodeo Team?

    How exactly does the rodeo team and equestrian team at USAFA work? I've tried looking for more information on it on the internet, but I haven't found anything. Can anyone enlighten me on how the rodeo team works? I'm planning on applying for the academy next year, I'm a rising junior. I was...

    Advice from cadets?

    Hey everyone! I'm looking for some advice on how to make my application stand out, when I comes time for me to fill it out. I'm looking for suggestions on what I could do improve my application and what you think of my chances of getting into this amazing school. I am a sophomore at a small...
