Highly recommend you get it before you arrive at BCT. Lower two classes aren't allowed to have a car, but you are allowed to drive one. Most upperclassmen with cars are very open to letting lower-two borrow their cars for a day, even a weekend. But they definitely wont lend you their car if you...

There is a dental clinic, I got my wisdom teeth out there, they did put me under and prescribed me pain medications, good experience. You will be required to get a check up by sometime sophomore year. For regular cleanings, that is on the cadet to schedule, they are not scheduled by the clinic.

If you’re interested in doing both, I highly recommend you do soaring during the summer after your freshman year. The reason behind that is because, for one, it’s a lot better than jump (I am a little biased), but also, you can do jump during the academic year of your senior year. I’m pretty...

Tent set up was the best part about Jack’s

You will first of all move to your academic year squadron, get briefs about how a typical cadet day is like, how classes work, will likely get to meet your instructors. You will also get tours of Fairchild hall probably and just transition from doing what you are told to do to living your own life

Study knowledge, Air Force song, airmen’s creed, chain of command. And hydrate.

I think my grades were definitely my strongest part of my application. I graduated with a 4.45 GPA but my extracurriculars were average at best. Just community service and sports. Your academics look good and extracurriculars look great. Also, when writing your essays, try to connect them to...

Your application seems better than mine did and I got in. But also important is your nomination. First you must compete against people in your district/state. And after that, compete nationally.

Obviously there is no clear answer to what your chances are, but you application looks a lot better than mine did and I’m currently a doolie.

I recently (June 15, 2020) got a deep cut on the palm of my hand and had to get two sutures on my Palm. I am unable to put any weight on my palm and am supposed to get them removed in about two weeks (June 29, 2020). With BCT starting in 9 days, what should I do? Do I contact someone to let them...

I currently live in a city where the average elevation is around 100 feet above sea level, and considering that USAFA is 7,000 above sea level, I wanted to ask for any tips on how to prepare. Especially when it comes to running and how to pace myself. At the moment, I run an 8:50 mile and half...

I received an appointment to USAFA and the list of forms contains the Air Force form 4428, the tattoo, brand form. On the application portal, it states that I need my ALO to sign the form, however, I’ve emailed him once a week for the last 3 weeks and have tried calling but still failed to reach...
