Has anyone found or recommend a good compact sleeping bag that the cadets use?

SAT only Short answer is no. BUT, some people do significantly better on the ACT than the SAT and vice-versa. You will see in many threads it is a good idea to do study guides like the official SAT (practice tests from real tests) and Kaplan study guides. There are also many online study...

not related Not getting into the summer seminar has nothing to do with getting into the USAFA. The SS is for getting more potential canidates exposure to the USAFA. My son didn't get to go and next week he is reporting with the rest of the class of 2017. The main thing you can do is to...

Send them all It can't hurt you. Take it 1 or 20 times. They will only look and use your super score. There are lots of course (some free) that give techniques and advice on how best to study and take the SAT and ACT. You should take both SAT and ACT as some people do better on one than...

The Academy will let a Candidate submit their scores as many times as they want (until the cut-off date) and will super score their results to use when calculating your official score. Super Score means that if a candidate retakes the ACT test again and gets: 32 Math 30 Reading and 30...

USAFA Boots To double check the model number, I contacted Wellco Boots to find out what model they are contracted to supply the USAFA and this is the response I got. What is the boot model number that your company is contracted for and supplies for the United States Air Force Academy...

Not so fast my friend Not so fast my friend. There are sites that show a 35 = 800 score. If you look at the CollegeBoard.org website it shows: See Table 2: http://research.collegeboard.org/sites/default/files/publications/2012/7/researchnote-2009-40-act-sat-concordance-tables.pdf...

boots I called aweek ago and the model number of the wellco boots look just like the Bellville 650. I do not remember the Wilco model number. They also said you won't be able to get boots as cheap as what they charge. I got a pair of Belleville 650's for $127 delivered.

Nominations Each state handles nominations their own way. I can only speak for VA, but we were told by our BGO that our Senators received over 800 applications for their nominations. The VA Senators do talk; don't give out a "principal" nomination and won't have duplicate names on their...
