Here is something that was told to me on the forums when applying and I took it to heart... "Unless you have a 36 in every ACT sect and an 800 (I believe is the max for SAT) than you can still keep testing." Now don't take that as your scores are low and you need to test, no those are good...

What made each of you pick USAFA? Did you apply to other service academies? -My parents are prior Army but they played a huge part in me coming here (Ironic I know right) but anyway, I just felt that serving as an Air Force member was the better branch for me. I applied for Annapolis and never...

What computers did they give you this year? -We got issued the usual fujitsu laptop but ours differ from years prior because you can detach the keyboard and use it as a tablet. Are there restrictions on cell phones after basic? -Years prior, there were. This year most freshman got their...

How much military knowledge do you have to memorize prior to bct/during the academic year? Do you know anyone who chose to not study before bct and how fun was his bct experience? -I didn't study a lick before basic. I actually had more prior Army knowledge than anything because I was in JROTC...

Hey if you can answer, go for it!

How does training for IC sports fit into the freshman schedule? -I am not IC but there are many in my squad. They seem to practice very often and miss out on a lot of freshman training due to practice and games but they work hard. Keeping good grades is possible for ICs because there are a few...

1. What do you and other cadets do in your limited free time? As in, what do you do for fun? -As far as being an unrecognized freshman, It is squadron dependent on how you can leave. In my squadron, it is based on our Knowledge test that freshman take every week. If you pass you are free to go...

For instance what would you have done differently in high school knowing what you know now? -TAKE CALCULUS. I opted out of taking calc in high school and it is my hardest class now because there is so much I am expected to know and have no clue about. -Work out more than what you feel is enough...

Hello, so the title says it all. I love these forums and really want to help others out. I am currently a freshman and am willing to answer any questions that might be had.

The non rated slots are still waiting to hear about what they got

The USAFA rap guy was actually a really good person, people just overlooked him because of the rap that he came up with. Take that as an example OP. Don't have yourself judged badly before you even get the chance to step foot on campus.

You're welcome!
