in all honesty, if I could re-do basic training I would have brought a superman shirt or something ridiculous. Common knowledge is that you want to stay as hidden as possible during basic, but eventually the cadre will find you and they will make a fool of you. Sure you'll get beat extra hard...

So while filling out the form I found out that we were supposed to mail the form in by May 1st. It says on the directions not to bring the form in with me as a carry on during I-day. If that's so, how should I turn in the form? Appreciate the help

do i need to notify dodmerb of the positive tb shot or should i just wait till I-day to report it?

I went to the doctor to get my tb shot (required by the immunization form), and I was tested positive on the skin test. I went ahead and took an x-ray chest test to see if i had active tuberculosis, and I'm waiting on the results for that. Say worse comes to worse and I do have active tb, what...

I would say its 90% technique.

LOL!

I don't get how that works. Do the professors test you on concepts they have not taught?

Yeah that's it, the Scholars Program. I really hope to get into it. Hopefully I don't fall asleep during placement. (Happened to me during SS when we were doing briefings and during some of the classes).

I've heard that the academy places 'ahead' cadets into honors classes of the regular core curriculum? How does a cadet go about and being placed into these honors programs? Do my AP scores factor in the decision of which type of classes I can participate in. Also if you were put into an honors...

Oh well, graduating on stage would have been nice but I'd rather not miss a day of I-day. My new future is in the Air Force soon, so what's one day right?

so is it a good idea to try to learn some arabic before i get to the academy? (If i wanted to minor in arabic)

You guys are lucky. I too live in So. Cal, except I graduate on JUNE 24!!!! I don't even know what to do anymore. I definitely don't want to miss the first day of I-day but then I don't want to miss graduation.
