That is hilarious, because that is *exactly* the plan my wife, me, and our DS have! To a tee. . . . .

My DS accepted an appointment to USAFA (Class 2025) and is considering walking on to a Fall sport. My question is, how does it work with transporting and storing equipment/clothes needed for playing upon arrival at I-day and during BCT?

Please change #103 @LookingToServe to Accepted!

So, would quarantine apply for those who are fully vaccinated?

My DS currently has two offers of appointment (USNA and USAFA) and is trying to choose between a SA and a traditional university (he did not apply to ROTC). What you posted about your DS is my biggest concern as a parent. My thought in counseling my son is that he can always leave a SA in the...

Please remove @LookingToServe from row 179 (@LookingToServe is correctly listed in 103 on this thread). Row #179 was cross-posted in error and intended for the USNA appointment list (and should read undecided). My apologies and thank you.

Looking back and in complete honesty, were you 100% all-in when you showed up, or did you show up at 90-95% with 5-10% of your heart at a normal university, if that makes sense?

DS received email notifying him of appointment today at 1348 ET. I had given up hope on his application. It ain't over 'til it's over. . . .

I don't yet have enough messages to send a private message, but given my DS is in the exact position of @MonkeyToes, any information would be appreciated. Thank you!

This is a tough question with no easy answers. I served as a USAF physician but entered through HPSP after civilian undergrad and went to school at civilian med school. While practicing medicine in the USAF was challenging in many respects compared with my civilian counterparts, it was...
