medical graduate degree I have a 2015 Cadet, who's original goal is/was also medical school. She has been told the slots for the last few years have NOT all been used. She would have to have a 3.5 and ace the MCAT, but she is really only competing against herself for a slot.

USAFA orUSNA The family life does seem to be better from USAFA post gracuation. Keep in mind although the ratios for both Academies are approximately 20% women. More women seem to apply to USAFA, at least that holds true for our region. That being said, it is the “best of the best” at either...

Personal Item I have read freshman cadets get one personal item after BCT. Are there parameters for what this can be? Can it be say a NOOK, that is preloaded with pics and books, or kind of in the same ball park an I-touch?

civi's for church We have been told only bring the clothes on your back, what about for church services, and are there services during BCT?

Rendevouz Is this for parent or just appointees? My husband and I will both be there and would love to meet some of the other parents as well as the appointees.

Flights to Intake This is a pretty small thing, but I am going to ask anyway. Does anyone know when the appointees will get the air tickets? I am going to be heading to Colorado Springs for intake with my daughter and would like to be on the same flight in if possible.

Waiting on the one way ticket Well I certainly shouldn't be reading this thread at work! Every post brought tears to my eyes. I cannot believe I am really sending my beautiful daughter off to Colorado Springs, knowing she truly is going to come back a different person. Stronger, and better...
