Yep. You did great and thanks for taking the time to explain this to me and surely plenty of others in the future. Have a great summer!

Thanks! Just the detail I was looking for. What's the likely IP training route and then when you execute IP duties if you took soaring during the fall semester? BTW, other than being decent in gliders and soloing, what's the process for getting selected as IP? If GPA is great what else is used?

What, if any, are the differences between taking soaring during the 3 dig summer vs taking it during the fall semesters with respect to the curriculum? If you take it during the fall semester, how many days a week and how many hours a day are you at the airfield?

Funny you should mention Lt Gen Gould. My son had dinner at Gen Clark's house last night and Lt Gen Gould was there too and he said they had a blast. He's mood is fine. :thumb:

It's sort of the equivalent of an Honors Program within a larger University you'd find at a state school. Here's some of their info on it. Academy Scholars Program (ASP). The ASP helps motivated cadets achieve higher levels of learning and intellectual excellence, provides the Air Force and...

What then would have to happen after the meeting to be finally accepted should you chose to commit yourself to the program?

If you get an email entitled 'Exclusive Invitation to Academy Scholars Program Informational Meeting' does that mean you are automatically allowed to enter the program if you choose to participate or does the meeting just lead to more application work you have to do in order to actually be...

good one!

I'm not mad. As the OP, I can be disappointed and express as much and clarify what I'm looking for all day long. There's way too much noise in the signal to noise ratio like your typical off tanget post, yes. Mad no. With over 40 thousand grads and current cadets, just looking for one who...

wow, the value of this forum seems to be hitting a low point. One answers with a guess and one guy answers with an amateur doctor question of his own without answering the actual question either. Then on other threads we're often getting the 'adults' trying to lawyer each other over to the...

will they get taken away or do they also fall into the category of stuff the medical staff looks over and if approved you get to keep through BCT?

WTF, we were going out on the boat Wednesday to watch so this is a real freakin' bummer. :mad:

Good one, Bullet. The 'sky's the limit'. Here's an example of the previous Shuttle commander's bio: http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/Bios/htmlbios/lindsey.html EXPERIENCE: Lindsey was commissioned a second lieutenant at the United States Air Force Academy, Colorado Springs, Colorado, in 1982...
