    Sure, go to USNA where you will have "guest speakers" talking about police brutality, white supremacy, and many other super important subjects. Or USMA, where we are all aware of what is happening over there. It is the entire system, not just one part of it.

    Believe me, I am not connecting anything with Recognition. All I did was state the fact that people were there as observers. The snow cancelled all the Recognition festivities, 2 feet and counting.

    Current State of the Academy

    Hopefully you realize that all the Generals and all Academy Superintendents have a boss, and it lives in the White House and in Delaware during the weekend. And just in case you didn’t see them or heard about them, you had people wearing black suits during Recognition (they were not the Men in...

    USAFAPS vs. Full Ride Scholarship

    If your daughter has her PPL she can still fly at the Academy Airfield or off base. Cadets who have their PPL are asked about it on I-Day. There is a table where they ask them for their paperwork. My son is a Doolie and is going to be flying gliders in less than a month. He took Aviation 100 the...

    USAFAPS vs. Full Ride Scholarship

    They all take a test and then an interview. They prefer students with no experience or with little experience. He can continue flying at the Airfield, he needs to become a member and then, rent their planes. There are other options off base if he wants to fly. Hopefully he can finish his PPL...

    USAFAPS vs. Full Ride Scholarship

    Approximately 100 Cadet Candidates apply to the Early Path of Wings program. Just 15 get the opportunity to fly. It is very difficult to obtain your PPL while at the Prep. There are not too many planes available and weather plays an important role. But the C/C gets to go to the Airfield many...

    Appointed...Need Advice

    @90210 Congratulations on your appointment! My son did one year at the Prep School but it is not the same. You are half way of your goal to becoming a 2LT. As per @104FW_QA comment, you will be competing with 2 or 3 thousand ROTC applicants for approximately 400+ pilot slots. At USAFA, you have...

    USAFAPS

    Congratulations! Accepting the offer from USAFAPS now has nothing to do with USMA or USNA. It is non binding. You can accept today and then decline in three months. Good luck

    Standards in Free Fall

    My son's squadron has a C2C that keeps violating training policies and she has not been cited yet. Hopefully she will.
