    Any possibilities of getting accepted in USAFA?

    Haru, please know that there is ALWAYS a chance. I think about the people i graduated with, the things they accomplished during high school and in their communities and I wonder how in the heck did I get in. Anything is possible and if it is meant to be then it will happen. Only way to know for...

    Girlfriend in academy, considering moving out

    Many like to reply like they went to the school, always fun to read lol. I do agree though, freshmen year it was difficult to make a relationship work with a girl who lived across the tzo, let alone off base. Possible though.

    How does BCT compare to enlisted basic training?

    I did the cadet job shadowing/participating in BMT as well and BMT definitely has more of that mental aspect that makes it much more of a challenge in my opinion. You also have to remember that BCT has a different mission/mindset than enlisted BMT. One is to train/prepare you to be a successful...

    Medical School Spots/ Advise on Decision

    Completely agree with LITS on this one. Sounds like an offer that guarantees your dream whereas the other is a complete toss up.

    Prep School Offer... Need Advise!?!?

    As a former preppie, A-squad ;), there is absolutely no shame in taking the prep school offer. Some of the best friends I had at the Academy were those I met at the P and they went on to be great cadets at USAFA. It was nice entering USAFA with a core of people I already knew and being relied...

    Form 34

    Again... only you know if this is the right path for you or not. The grass isn't always greener (I've learned this at the Academy and also as an Lt). Up to you if you want to suck it up and deal with the temporary misery for a solid future or pursue another path that may also lead to a solid...

    Ask a Doolie Anything!

    One thing I loved about USAFA (honestly) is that they give you so many opportunities to succeed it's up to you to seek them out. There is EI for PE classes just as much as there is for academic courses. I've had my fair share of EI (extra instruction) for my scuba class, water survival...
