Following up on what CC said, I realized the unfairness of the impact of the nominations on people. I come from CA, a highly competitive state, along with a REALLY competitive district (some schools include Oxford Academy, Whitney High School - schools that are top 5 NATIONALLY) I realized...

I believe that they are still finalizing everything and still obtaining pieces of the package. :)

Because we're on the subject of teeth, is it okay for me to take out my wisdom teeth? When my brother went to West Point, they actually asked him to take it out before BCT because there was a possibility that it may interfere with physical activity. Is this the same with USAFA?

I know that the CFA isn't the greatest way to compare what girls at USAFA go through during PT, BCT, etc but I just want to share my story. Honestly, I was a girl that couldn't do anything on the CFA. I know this because when I went to Summer Seminar, I rarely made the averages on the CFA...

I'm a bit confused - if @proudmom is correct with her post in that phase 1 will get on in Halifax, what are the other times from April to July 10th? Is that part of a 3/C's training?

I wish I would have known this earlier. Good luck to all high school students who are wishing to attend the SA's.

You also have to take into account that the recruited athlete may have received a different nomination from a different source (Senator, Presidential, JROTC, etc). USAFA might have selected the athlete from that other source. Don't give up yet!

I was under the impression that Colorado Springs also does not like US Air Force Academy. At least, some parts of Colorado Springs do. I don't understand why New London would dislike cadets, especially when it's the cadets that will be the future leaders of this country.

hehehehe, yeah I saw that video also. Apparently, he sassed every cadre in his squadron. I figured out that that was the reason why the Cadre was yelling at him. From Wikipedia: "One very important aspect of Swab Summer is the PEP program. PEP stands for Personal Enhancement Platoon and any...

Yay! Congratulations! :jump1: I knew that you could make it! Now, enjoy the rest of your senior year! Before you know it, it'll be Swab Summer :thumb:

Everything looks good. I know a couple of my friends that took AP Calculus or even Pre-Calc at a community college over summer and took the next math course during the school year. You might want to look into that. In addition, a sport would be great to your application. You have AF JROTC but...

Congratulations! May I ask when your DS completed his application? I'm in CA and I haven't heard word yet and I sent in my application late Sept/early Oct. Anxiously waiting...

But surely the college campus should be safe...compared to that of a regular university. I have another question: what do most cadets like to do on weekends, especially during 3 day weekends because of a holiday (Washington's Birthday...etc) Drive up to New York? Fly to another state?

@USNA1982BGO: Great post, sir! I'm glad that the surroundings of CGA is very safe, even during the night. I am also aware of the many colleges that are prestigious, but have horrible locations (University of Southern California is another). I'm also disappointed that many people are...
