Computer access from home Hi Thanks for the input, DS reinstalled the program and got it to allow him access so all is right with the world. Regards John

Getting on line from home He says yes with no luck from either my work or home network. Regards John

Have any of the cadets signed on to check final grades from their home internet? My DS seems unable to connect from any network other than the academy. Regards John

PFT Hi If he wants to be at the service academy (regardless of which one) he needs to do well on this test. Nothing he is doing in high school sports is as important as this. If he needs to take a few days off to get the score he needs, so be it. My DS who was a drafted athlete had to retake...

Question...How does summer school work at the academy. Can a cadet use it to take a class to make the load better for the next term? Can a cadet use it to re-take a failed class? If taken for a failed or sub-standard grade will it replace the poor grade in the GPA going forward? Regards John

time off for wedding Thanks for the info, I will tell him about the memo. Regards John

Max scores I would say since anything past the max does not help your application, save yourself for the rest of the test. By the time you run you will need the extra you have left. Regards John

Hi When I look on the calendar it shows summer 1st period, 2nd period, 3rd period. How do we tell when our cadets will be home for summer? We need to plan his sisters wedding and I don't know how this two weeks or ? off works. Regards John

Hi Someone who has done the mandatory boxing at the academy please tell me how it works. I would like to understand the process my DS is going through. Regards John

CFT 2 It means the academy saw something in your results that made them concerned you may have difficulty with the physical fitness at the academy. My DS had the same and is now at the academy after posting better running time. Regards John

Baseball needs love too! Hey They don't bring in any money per-say, but they look great in the uniforms. John

USAFA Closed down programs and stuff As the father of a C4C this concerns me a lot. - Cadet study centers are closed, including the cadet library, media lab, and tutor centers. Regards John

Science Your scores are competitive as the class of 2017 Mid 50% Range for science was 27-32. The academy looks at the whole person and you will be up against students with strong grades, community service, sports and leadership. Work to ensure you have not missed an opportunity in the other...

ACT a total of 7 times I thank you are over thanking this test. The academy super scores and you need to get a better science grade and in my humble opinion, spend all your study time on science. If you raise that up a few points, you will look more competitive. Regards John
