I'm a rising senior in high school and I am currently in the process of going through the AFROTC application. I know that on almost every school website it will tell you after graduation you do 4 years of AD and 4 years of reserve. But I've been reading through a couple of threads about the...

Yes, I have read the CFA instructions, but I didn't find a section where it specified if the elbows should be facing outward or in line with the body.

For the CFA, is there a specific kind of push-up that we have to perform? Like wide grip or narrow grip?

I'm not sure if it was a misdiagnosis or not because it was our pediatrician rather than a dermatologist who made the initial diagnosis. And I'm not sure if I mentioned it before but my mom currently does have eczema that flares up on her hands sometimes. She has always just used my...

I am planning on doing so, but the issue is that it hasn't acted up in so many years that I'm not sure how my dermatologist will be able to tell me if it was a misdiagnosis or not.

The medication that I was prescribed was mometasone 0.1% topical cream. I would think because of how mild the condition was, that the medication isn't very potent. Would that help at all if I had to go through the waiver process? Also, I asked my mom and it turns out I was actually diagnosed at...

Hi everyone, I'm currently a rising senior in high school and I'm in the process of applying to USMA. My candidate kit became available to me this morning and I was reviewing it and such. I noticed for the candidate activities record, it asks for contact information. I would assume that this...

Update: I got an email from USAFA this morning promoting me to candidate status. The rest of my portal has opened up and my deadline is November 15th!

Just wondering, would wearing a knee brace (nothing big, just a strap that goes under the knee cap) be an issue for the academy? I don't have tendinitis or anything like that, I just use it during physical activity because fencing has been hard on my knees. The strap just provides some relief...

Hahah yeah, I'm actually the opposite, I would kill for a nice outdoor track and a field to play soccer or lacrosse. It gets really hot on the indoor track because it's closer to the ceiling of our gym. The struggle is real with going to school in a large city sometimes :p

I'm currently applying for my nominations right now to USAFA and USMA. My congressman asked for a list of extra curricular activities and leadership responsibilities. Should I send my entire resume or just those parts?

So when I take the CFA in late August/early September when I go back to school, I plan to have my gym teacher give it to me. The indoor track in my school is basically circular with an up curve to it (like a race track for cars). Is that okay to run on for the CFA or will I have to take it...

So my pre-candidate questionnaire was approved and I got the letter saying I had the potential for admission and everything with the list of what to do. Whilst doing this, I'm starting to get a little nervous because they haven't sent me anything and it's been a week. I sent over the official...

Hi all! So I was reviewing the DQs, and I saw wheezing medication. I'm not asthmatic nor do I have breathing issues. But I came down with a nasty bout of bronchitis this year which turned into pneumonia, and took about 1.5-2 weeks to clear up. Is the pill medication I took for this disqualifying?

My physician actually never wrote a prescription. This was from the paediatrician i had when I was younger and he's retired now. He gave us the prescription when I was first diagnosed with it and it's just been the same prescription ever since. I think it was just refillable or something
