    History Being Made.....

    I live in the town where Ft. Benning is located. Ranger training has allowed select members of the press to cover this process. Thought you might be interested in the latest story by our local reporter who has been at Eglin watching these events unfold. This particular story offers some...

    Is the BCT Video and Yearbook worth it?

    We, too, passed on the Warrior photo. I did buy both the dvd and yearbook--looked at both a couple of times, shared them with the grandparents and some family friends. Both are on a shelf now waiting for the day my C1C might want to fondly reminisce. The BCT yearbook is NOT the same as the...

    Thanksgiving

    My DS, now a firstie, took the USAFA bus pretty much every time he was on leave during his first two years. Yes, he had other options to ride with friends, squad mates, etc. but he could absolutely, 100% count on the bus-- no stress. One word: reliable.

    Sorry. Have to do it.

    My intent was not to be critical. These forums are informal, therefore, I assume people are not always checking and double checking grammar, spelling, etc. I HOPE when paperwork is submitted for more important things (admissions applications, recommendations, etc.) that people have these items...

    Sorry. Have to do it.

    Wow. The first thought to come to mind is, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." There are a couple of glaring grammatical errors in the original post. Can anyone find them?

    Question about travel to I-day

    Knowing that DS has worked so hard and that he's received everything he wanted (and more) makes it a little easier to let him go...he's one contented fella! Re: reimbursement to his account...it figures! So, I'm out the money either way--ha ha!!

    Question about travel to I-day

    Thanks falconfamily--that makes sense and I really wasn't complaining! DS has been to the academy on several occasions but his father and I have not. We are looking forward to seeing it! In the meantime, I am trying not to obsess over all the details that must be attended to in the next...

    Question about travel to I-day

    Okay--DS received THE phone call from Senator Saxby Chambliss (GA) on March 24. BFE arrived one week later--March 31. Needless to say the whole family had a right nice spring break!! Now the questions are stacking up (at least in dear old mom's head). I understand USAFA will arrange flight...

    question about nomination/LOA

    Thanks. It makes sense and I know it but still...seems too unreal! Son is super excited!

    question about nomination/LOA

    Although I think I know the answer to my question, I just want reassurance--it seems at every turn, what we think we know is never the whole story. DS received a LOA in October stating that all he needed was a nomination; today, we received notification that he has been nominated by our...
