    2028 State Nominations Thread

    Historically, Colorado Senator worked with each other and with reps so that candidates didn’t receive duplicate nominations to the same academy but they could to different academies. At least for some of the competitive districts. My boy only applied to USAFA and the past two years he got...

    How does course validation work?

    They will do tests before you leave to BCT and again during BCT 1. They work hard to figure out where to place you, and if you have taken Calculus or Calc 2 in college they use it along with your placement tests. You will have two required tests and one optional math placement test before BCT, I...

    CFA Fail Help!

    My boys sit-ups still suck and he is at the USAFA - his sit-ups were just a little above yours to get in. He is really stiff with the sit-ups and said he just can’t bounce back up like everyone else. I would focus on that run time, that may be what kicked your butt. 8:40 is not good, try to...

    High School Tech Program

    T This is awesome, I say do it! It is similar to what our school was trying to do and my boy ended up doing a ton of CADD and welding classes at the college, going for a tech certificate, but unfortunately it wasn't set up correctly. So he shifted and began just focusing on working towards an...

    BCT Squadron vs Academic Year Squadron

    Get ahold of your state parent association, they can let you know your academic squadron. My boy just found his out last night and it's not the same as his BCT squadron. Your BCT squadron is only for the first six weeks, then you transition to your academic squadron.
