This must be a regional thing because I have had no problem signing my son up for the ACT for October (this Saturday) and December.

Did USAFA offer this to everyone?

Coach Ken is doubling and tripling down on the whining this year, most recently about CIC trophy and Air Force only playing two games. Geez, just play who they put before you and get on with it. It's really a bad optic. AF will have zero game experience when they meet Navy. That is not an...

You beat me to it. It amazes me how those posts appear whenever someone says they received an LOA.

While this is great advice, Student Body President, Company Commander and Captain of the football team are hardly "club joiner and title collector" territory. They are inherently active leadership positions and OP should be proud of those. Those positions, at least to me, jump out as "real...

In most states and with most insurance companies, the parent's homeowners policy already provides coverage for up to 10% of the amount of contents coverage carried on the parent's homeowner's insurance policy to cover the stuff of the student away. There are limitations typically for FT student...

I dont stop in and read as much as I used to. Congrats Mid Cake on your promotion to moderator!!:benny monkeysmilies:

That was 30 mins of my life I'll never get back. :) Not being military, I read whole thing to see someone respond about being able to call yourself a veteran. Seems crazy to be considered a veteran if you spent 2 years at an SA and walked away. I assume it's just a technicality.

Wow. Funny to see an old thread of your's resurrected and having so many years of experiencing the process for hindsight. I reread the thread and recalling being kinda miffed when a poster said to list your one top SA on all nomination requests. I was thinking, don't they get it, DD just...

We need a standard font color for sarcasm. I almost thought you were serious. But of course, the esteemed and highly powerful Sue Fulton (????) had a quote that said there's risk. Hmmm. That is deep digging journalism. But she's a grad so I am sure all grads were involved in the meeting...

I obviously have no insider information, but I have a hard time believing that WP and the president's office had not established the general framework of the return of the firsties before all this came out. The media has absolutely jumped onto this narrative that WP was completely surprised by...

I would imagine they will begin to engineer how they will transition the rising firsties and cows back to get them prepared for beast and buckner sessions. Don't they normally train for a week or two in preparation of their beast and buckner leadership duties? If I recall, those lead up days...

I second this statement. NWP is a one semester program so your DD would study the second semester at school of her choice. We did this. I think there are pros and cons to both. - is your child a self starter and the type to thrive going solo on the second semester? - Does your child have...

I do believe that some units do have pull or will try to assist with admissions. The key in this is that you will have to do a lot better than "I am considering your school." If they are going to go to bat for you, it's nearly going to have to be "I will come to your unit if accepted." Nobody...

I was at the College Gameday broadcast. It was a blast and so much fun with the competing cheering and signs and the entire broadcast. To think that someone would hijack that moment, that atmosphere and claim there was white supremacy activity going on. Just seems ridiculous and really...
