I only applied to the Air Force Academy and Air Force ROTC but I remember reading somewhere during the application process that PFA from other branches don't count for theirs. So, I believe you have to do each one separately. However, if you happened to apply to Navy, Army, and Air Force ROTC...

I applied and got an Air Force ROTC scolarship last year!! Oh Yeah!! Good luck to everyone trying this year! Nothing about my dual-enrollment credit ever came up. I only had 21 hours of dual-enrollment but I don't think it really matters how much you have. The question is asking if your a full...

My scores were worse than that when I started out except for the mile but that because I have been running long distance since the sixth grade. After about a month, I was able to do 57 push-ups, 59 sit-ups, and a 5:3- miles. The only thing you can do to get faster at running is run. Since it is...

All I have to say to that countdown is WOW!!

First, don’t run on a treadmill. It can be deceptive (it makes you think you are faster than you are). Also, it is really really boring (So much more enjoyable to drive your car to an unknown place and start running. Once you can sort of judge distances. It fun trying to find your way back to...

Christcorp, I had a quick question. If I got a 1320 SAT (670 Math and 650 Critical Reading), should I retake the SAT again if I am applying to the Academy again next year? Big Red and Sarah. As soon as I got home from VT, I had to go out of town to see my grandmother. It is her 70th birthday! I...

Got the TWE yesturday. Same wording as above. However, I didn't get the whole 1,285 admitted. Doesn't the Academy normally offer 1,700 appointment and around 350-450 turn them down and they nab as many from the waiting list as they need to fill the class. Has everyone already turned them down...

Unfortunatly, I recieved the TWE yesturday in the mail. I told AFROTC that I do type 7 and stay in-state but I got waitlisted from UVA which is the only college in VA I wanted to go to. So, I might try to change it to a type 3 and go to one of the out of state college that I applied to once all...

This is probably a really dumb question but what is TWE?

I am a little confused and majorly worried. I called to tell my ALO that everything was worked out with AFROTC and that I had called my congressman office yesturday and he said that he hadn't heard anything from the Academy. My ALO got something in the mail yesturday about doing an award...

11. Runningman2014: 2 noms: Senator Warner and Congressman Scott (VA) - Plan B either AFROTC type 7 at University of Virginia(waitlisted)/Virginia Tech or Type 2 at Georgia Tech

I am just wondering if any one has heard from Senator Warner or Congressman Bobby Scott that they got an appointment to the USAFA. I am starting to get a little nervous.

I have a moral conflicts with the whole back up plan idea. I live in Virginia so I will talk about UVA. UVA is a very fine institution, it is my brothers first choice. However, what happens if he get waitlisted and I get in but I get an appointment to the academy and pay all the money to UVA as...

This may sound like a wierd question. Can we still use our ipod if we don't don't listen to music? I do use my ipod to listen to music but I also listen to audiobooks of stuff I am reading in class such as plato republic, 1984, the bluest eye, etc. I can live without either. However, it really...
