    CFA -> PFT (?)

I've only ever had one reaction (when I was 5) and have not had any issues since. The reaction, however, was deemed to be anaphylactic. I...

    CFA Events/Competition?

    Firstly just want to say - We the People!! I'm currently doing the program at my high school and its super fun to see someone else out there doing it. A lot of the other tips contain good advice, doing pushups and pullups often (before bed or after waking up) is a great way to improve. That...

    Which ROTC most likely to give tree nut DODMERB waiver?

    In my own case it is an anaphylactic reaction, however I am not particularly sensitive to Brazil Nuts (i.e. before I was diagnosed with an allergy I would eat out of a mixed can of nuts where Brazil Nuts were present).
