I know there is a lot of cynicism amongst us plebes but I believe we all aware that this is temporary. At least for me, Herndon, summer trainings, and new leadership has given me a lot to look forward to and that's what's keeping me going through the daily life. I personally don't know anyone...

From the Call, the supe said we should be getting them before graduation at the latest as we need them for summer trainings

Not sure the exact symptomatic number but 20% of the brigade is either positive or contact traced. Cases have doubled within the past 48 hours. But there is a higher percentage of symptomatic mids than last semester with this new variant

Supes call tonight, cases are spiking, new covid variant is on the yard. AMA

I received the ISR scholarship last year and did a wealth of research on it. If I'm remembering correctly, it is binding but an appointment to USNA can override that. I'll try and find the official document and get it to you. I ended up being DQ'd for the ISR for prior drug use but ended up...

Depending on ones last exam or last military obligation. Sorry I didn’t clarify.

The dant said at a 4/C Commandant's call, there are two options that they are looking into: 1) No fans, no cadets, no mids and we will be released for leave a few days early 2) Just cadets and mids on Dec 12, and we will be released for leave most likely following the game. Either way, we will...

Thank you so much!

You said logged pilot hours are considered. Is it possible for Cadets to gain these while at USAFA (for those w/o a PPL)? Or is this based on prior experience before attending? Thank you!

What are the chances for getting a pilot slot for a non-STEM vs STEM major?

Take Chemistry. AP Chem was personally the hardest AP class I took out of the eleven throughout my tenure in high school. An extra year of chem before hand will definitely help you out senior year when you are also talking other APs.

I have heard from BCT staff (indirectly) that C/o 2024 will be quarantined for 14 days upon arrival and BCT will be about 21 days long. There will be no switch off from 1st to 2nd beast. Of course, this is all subject to change and is not official unless it has been said by the academy itself...
