Hey nsiderbam! I'm in A Company 2nd Platoon also!

I had a question regarding the police background check. I have graduated HS and attended one year of college in a different city. For some reason, our local sheriff's office in my hometown wouldn't mail in the police background check so I did it myself. This turned out to be fine, but I reread...

That's great :shake: Who knew that USAFA would be a "safe" place to go? :eek:

Sitting pretty!:thumb: Like some others have said, excelling at the CFA by being in awesome shape and having some great letters of rec do not hurt. If it is a competitive congressional district, it seems like the key to getting a nomination is having the drive to do all of the extra little...

That was hilarious-- just thinking about the poor appointee sitting there with his/her head in their hands thinking, "mom, please sit down, please sit down."

Thats worse than the Grad Dad who drilled the BCT Cadet commander about someone hitting his son.

What is on the running plan by the way?

Little off-topic, but is an exchange program a really popular thing to do? Is it competitely given to those with higher standing or can anyone do it? Also, does it boost your class standing in any way? I guess I was just wondering why someone would want to exchange for a year to another...

Yeah, I mean, 7:00 pace for 1.5 mile is definitely not unreasonable in any way, but what would they expect for a "fast pace" for 3-4 miles?

Just curious: Has anyone tried to get on the NA running plan? When I first saw it I laughed because I didn't think anyone could go from a 9 min mile to 3 miles under 20 min. But, I was also slightly worried because maybe they expected everyone to come in July with the ability to run 6:30 minute...

Slightly off-topic question, but do any of you cadets know anything about Squadron 2 (Deuce)? I stayed with a couple cadets in that squadron during orientation this week and they said that every squadron is a little bit different. I was just wondering how other squadrons in the wing were...

Cadets: 1.raimius 2. Downfall75 (2)(me too) 3. CranoOrden (ride please?) 4. USAFA10s (probably, but I might have tennis) 5. Starvinmarvin_09 (another in need of a lift) 6. JustCallMeDan7 ( I need a lift!!!!) 7. Packerfan735 (needs ride) 8. buffalo (ride por favor) 9. btown...

I was also in this situation this year. I would say that before you even think about spreading the word that you are leaving next year for a service academy, you must seriously contemplate the notion that you may not get an appointment or you may want to stay in ROTC. With that, (you might...

I'm a second-timer and I think it is totally worth it! I went to a small private school with a great ROTC program and learned a whole bunch about the military and leadership as well as all the knowledge from those Engineering curriculum classes :thumb: I think one of the greatest parts about it...

Does this mean were Friends!?!!!
