    USAFA '25 parent/cadet get together June 20-23?

    Incline complete. Apparently organizing an impromptu get together is harder than it appears. We'll be at the outdoor grill area of the TownePlace Suites Garden of the Gods on Centennial tomorrow, 22Jun, at 4pm for a little wine, water or beer and socializing. Simple stuff. I don't even...

    What to wear on I-day?

    Standing out like that is probably like volunteering early for a great job. In AF boot camp we had some recruits eagerly raise their hands to volunteer for the "bowling team." They weren't overly happy with cleaning toilet bowls for a job. Fun times....

    The drinking part or the self-inflicted pain part of the Incline? Or both?

    USAFA '25 parent/cadet get together June 20-23?

    This may be lame, but we are arriving in COS on June 20. I plan on having a few cocktails, my wife plans on crying a lot, and my DS plans on not being affiliated with the first two mentioned. We'd be open to having an impromptu get together before I-Day if anyone's interested. My only...

    Questions about Windshield Tour

    Windshield tour is definitely worth it. Stinks that the Chapel is enclosed in a big white construction box, though.... Get out, stretch your legs, and read every plaque on the way.... Stop at the AFA Overlook on I-25 and see all the parachuting action....
