why didn't you tell this story earlier? I could've told my mom that! :shake:

You all need to chill out. I'm well past 20/600 (can't remember the exact figure) and have -8.5 in both eyes last I checked (both correctable to 20/20 though...). I got it waived. The cutoff for myopia is -8.0 in both eyes to be dq'd, I think. But even that can get waived...if you're really...

I doubt you'll be allowed to keep/ever have time to look at review packets during basic. So if you want to, look at it before basic. That being said, I dunno how necessary that'll be. Also, I completely forgot about this, but I remember getting a letter from the math dept. about placement...

For real. and mondays are wayyy better than wednesdays (when we wore them). Prepping the uniform tuesday night (after class got out at 9pm) was kinda a nightmare.

high PT score, do a good job at Field Training, and always have a good attitude. :thumb:

really? In our instructions to appointees book it said that if you took Chem+lab at an accredited university, got an A or B in the class and did well on the exam you could get credit...I mean, I could be wrong, but if I don't have to go through another year of gen chem, that would be nice. so...

what does the typical freshmen schedule look like? if I have transfer credits for chem, what would I take in place of chem? and is taking calc III freshmen year a bad idea?

also, could we just bring everything in a backpack?

going along with the 'omg what do I do with my hair' theme... what are we allowed to bring to BCT to keep our hair up? as in, should we pack a brush/comb, hair ties, bobby pins...are we allowed to bring hairspray (it helps keep it neater) or hairnets? (sounds weird but they're invisible when...

nice to know we have priorities straight here :rolleyes::rolleyes:

This. Gave them a call monday and they said as long as it's in ASAP it should be ok. Also, has anyone gotten the glasses/perscription form they said would be mailed later? I forgot to call them today, but they said they need it 3 weeks prior to I-day and it's hard to turn in a form they...

^we were told only 300s take the AFOQT from now on. They use SAT/ACT scores instead of AFOQT for EAs

because it's finals week so I still feel like I have control, even though honestly all these exams are beyond me at this point... so it is overall gpa? that would be a reliefff...and I have no plans on failing, just B/B+ range here :rolleyes:

Finals week=major anxiety. When you said GPA would have to drop .2-.3 to have an appointment reconsidered...is that the cumulative GPA? the one shown/calculated by USAFA? Because online they never updated my GPA with my new semester grades (Unless for some reason they count a college 3.7 as a...

I was told to use highschool letters of rec and then if, by ~january we hadn't heard back to get a letter of rec from college professors/rotc cadre/advisors.
