I'm a FF scholar who went to NWP this past semester. I'd recommend them without any reservation. NWP picks up a majority of the Falcons and for good reason. The program is fantastic, the instructors are great, and the Durbecks (who run the school) are wonderful. All of the Falcons from NWP '10...

Thanks!

Hello all! I was wondering--Does your PO Box number indicate which squadron you'll go into at USAFA? For instance, one of my friends got PO Box 2000 something, while I got 4500 something. Thanks for any info!

That's how it all works. Colleges recruit athletes. At least this kid has the grades. His GPA is better than the one that I sent to USAFA.

At the Catholic Mass at the Gateway Chapel, they threaten you by saying that if you don't sing, you get recycled :shake::shake::shake:

FYI--- taken from the USAFA Facebook page: ***AIRMEN*** THE WAIT IS OVER! Our Commander just started making callouts to your respective commander right now! Your commander will then notify you.

I can! My dad spoke with the AETC Commander (USAFA is underneath AETC), and he explained a bit about how FF works. If you are awarded a FF scholarship, you have an appointment reserved for you, so to speak, assuming that you successfully complete the FF program and receive a nomination...

Thanks!

Breaux Bridge here! Not too far :thumb:

Afternoon All-- So I received an e-mail from USAFA regarding this data collection and I am working on my release information form. The last page regards Congressional Information Release....What exactly gets released to my congressmen? Why do they need this info? Thanks, Dj

I was actually very surprised reading this thread! I did not know that there were people who did not know about USAFA/USMA/USNA/etc! I live on an Air Force Base, so the reactions I've gotten from telling people were more in the "Oh Congrats! When I was there 30 years ago..." etc. Very...

As a slightly on topic question--I'm trying to purchase a WebGuy subscription for my family for when I go to BCT--When should this be purchased so the 4 years is from my C4C to C1C year?

Last year, my Falcon offer was postmarked 20 Apr--My guess would be that Falcon Foundation Scholars will be notified early next week!
