It has been a long time since I’ve posted on the forum. I think the last time I posted was when my son was applying for the Academy. He graduated Academy in 2018 in the top 1% of the class he went on to graduate school and got his masters degree in aeronautical engineering. After school, he was...

Hopefully this is a troll and not really a future leader asking what the minimum they can do to “skate by” is... Obviously the correct answer is work for a 4.0 and continue to take the toughest classes one can manage...

You stated that they were leaving in droves due to SNAFU's. That is what this thread was about. I'm not sure what this has to do with Airlines offering packages to pull pilots out. That is another subject. I stand by the fact that the military has been this way since its inception and they...

First off nobody has determined this IS a SNAFU. I questioned many things when I was serving. Things that seemed like they were completely unfair that we deemed SNAFU/FUBAR. Changing rules for no apparent good reason and many other things I considered a Big deal. As I grew older/wiser I...

If this causes a cadet major issues then they are in for a LOT of disappointments in the upcoming years when they enter the real Air Force. I think too many lose site of the fact that this is the military and not a civilian college. This is what they signed up for. This IS how the military...

My DS who is in the class of 2018 said he was told they have the option to choose. I think he said they have to choose by the end of this year. He was given info on both programs pointing out the pros and cons of both.

If this is true it is the first I've heard about WOB getting ENJPT. I thought only Engineering (Fuzzy?) majors were allowed to go ENJPT. I know my DS wants to apply for ENJPT but wasn't selected for WOB. I certainly hope this isn't the case as WOB tryouts seemed more of a popularity contest...

I'd also recommend getting a separate one (Not joint) for each spouse... We did that two years ago and it was great. 100,000 points got us 6 round trip tickets for our DS. Plus it really is a good airlines to fly....

When we were there for PW our DS's doolie year, we just took him shopping and bought what he needed. If I remember correctly we bought a nice printer, clear bins and lots of snacks for his room, school supplies etc. He had a list of things he wanted/needed by then and knew what he was allowed...

Calling a delay in immigration until the system is fixed punishment, is a stretch. Comparing it to putting a family in jail because a member killed someone is absurd. Immigrating to this country is a privilege, not a right. Having a system in place to ensure those coming here are coming for...

Can you show me the picture where you determined they are Democrats? How do you know this family does not support Trump? You used their story and image to push your political viewpoint, did you get their permission?

You obviously have an agenda, to try to smear Trump. What an absolute joke that you say otherwise. Why not just post the article about a fine muslim marine and leave your political agendas for a another board. You bring up an example of one good Muslim Marine and his family and somehow this...

This is a good article about this Marine, but I'm confused why the comment about trading Trump. I don't recall one time where Trump has said bad things about our military members or any other good law abiding citizens... I assume your backdoor shot is in reference to Trump (And many other...

According to the below link it looks like they can validate Physics 2. They would need at least a 4 on the exam and then score high enough on the exams taken during BCT. When adding a minor or a double major it certainly is helpful to validate a number of classes. My DS is majoring in...

I personally would not have him take the class again. My DS took Physics C and called the E&M portion "Black Magic". He took both the Mechanics and E&M portion of the AP tests (There is nothing to lose taking it other than the cost). He scored a 5 on the Mechanics and a 2 on the E&M portion...
