It mattered for me. I started basic at 118 lbs (I'm female) and at one point in Jack's, I weighed about 104 lbs. I would say not to worry about gaining weight before basic...concentrate more on gaining strength and endurance. The weight loss happens to everyone, just remember that the cadre are...

Hi Guys! First of all, I would like to congratulate everyone who received an appointment! For those of you who didn't, there is no shame in it. It speaks a lot of your character for even wanting to attend an institution such as this. As a current freshman who has been through basic...

socks? Should we bring socks? If so, what type and how many?

reception? I was just wondering what cell phone companies' reception works the best at USAFA, once we are allowed to use them once again. My family is in the middle of a company switch and wanted to put USAFA into the equation. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

approximately how many times a day do basics run?

I was planning on using it almost exclusively for academic purposes. I am all about saving time and space, and I thought a Nook would be a good way to go. About how many classes would I be able to use a Nook for as a doolie? Thanks for the information!

I will be attending USAFA with the class of 2015 and I was wondering if there was any advantage to bringing a Nook, Kindall, or iPad after the academic year gets underway. Are they even allowed? I know that each of the cadets is issued a laptop, and I didn't know if any of the above products...

Thank you everyone for the insight! It has helped a lot!

That is a good question, as I have been wondering something similar about math. My school's mathematics department is somewhat lacking. Should I memorize any specific formulas or know any concepts from calculus? (I only took up to trigonometry.) Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

First of all, Congratulations! :thumb: I agree 100%. I attended last year and had a fantastic overall experience. It is a good sign that you were accepted to SS, but it in no way indicates that you are a "slam dunk" for an appointment....no one is. The only thing you can do when you submit...

@ Strike Eagle: I heard that USAFA usually accepts applicants the second time around, if they are still competitive, which it sounds like you are. I am still hopeful to hear from USAFA in March myself. Good luck to the both of you!

I received notification for USAFA Summer Seminar last year at the end of February. Best of luck to all of you!:smile:

I do not have any nomination as of yet, but my interview with my Representative is on the 20th. The application deadline for one of the senators has not yet passed, so I am not sure when I will hear from either of them.

Hello, My application has been completed now for about 2-3 months. I was just wondering if someone could please give me a little feedback as to whether I am competitive for an LOA or to just hope for the best when last minute appointments are sent out. ACT: English-31 Math-26 Science-28...

I had a question regarding the JROTC application for a nomination to USAFA. I have looked on the admissions website, but have found no link to a form so far. Does anyone know where I could go to get this? Thanks!
