We refer to it as the “box”, we don’t know whether we should pray in it, to it, or for it. There will be 2-3 classes that will never get to see the chapel during their 4 years here. Don’t know how much of a role that played in the cadet experience before we got here, but for us it’s just an eye...

Canceled again!

This post did not age well lol

Fair, but whenever you’re told do so on a Sunday night after losing a Knowledge-Bowl by a close margin, it will really mess up your schedule

Switching rooms at USAFA, or “rapid redeployments” were used as group punishments. Typically you’d have to move into your room within a tight timeframe of 1-3 hours and often had little warning that it was coming. It would ruin your entire week, not to mention whatever you had planned for the...

I’ve heard good things about USMA’s facilities, the votes might be slightly skewed since you posted this on the USMA thread though. In reality you’ll be fine regardless, the gym culture at USAFA is alive and well. The training you’ll do freshman year will be an added level of physicality you can...

I really do hate to say this, but the current comm has left the wing confused and demoralized. I’ve had freshman tell me they wish they had it harder like some of their upperclassmen had it. Going back to the root of this thread, “standards in free fall” you can blame us cadets all you want but...

A lot of the issues (from a cadet’s perspective) come from the inconsistency we get from our Leadership. It’s been around since I got here but it’s become more apparent since our new comm came in. Things like saying we’re going to go back to how things were before Covid (limited passes for all 4...

"Back in my day" (literally 6 months ago) the things considered training are now considered "maltraining". Most of the changes are good and warranted, but some are questionable. The general feeling amongst the wing is a feeling of confusion on how this will pan out, I guess we'll see very soon!

As long as it’s not too much to carry it’ll definitely be allowed. Just remember that there’s a time and a place for everything and the only free time you might have on a daily basis will be at night where you’ll have to sacrifice some sleep in order to write letters or journal. I didn’t have...

Our class ate until we couldn’t anymore lol, it would’ve been a bad decision if it weren’t for the lightning that rolled in right as we got back from the Rodeo. Eat with caution, our cadre looked bummed out about the weather.

As in the drill and ceremony armed exhibition? I doubt that’s true, never heard of that and the closest thing to that would be Honor Guard which is like every other club and doesn’t have intercollegiate competition status

What kinds of surprises 😱

Has anyone received info on their mailing address or squadron yet? I heard that some people were hearing today but my portal hasn’t updated.

Hello, I don't anticipate that we'll have much free time or permission to take part in a lot of recreational activities during Doolie year. That being said, is there anything fun we can look forward to, and are there any activities you recommend to the class of '26? Are there any good movie...
