I didn't get selected. Not gonna complain though since I'm going to Westpoint. Good luck to the rest of you!

It is, but it is not the easiest thing to do. I am not super knowledgable about this, but you are able to cross-commission into any branch you want to. With that being said, however, there must be someone at the service academy of the branch you wish to swap to that is willing to swap. For...

Join ROTC and reapply. Trying to get in as an enlisted is much more difficult than coming from ROTC. USAFA will see that you are continuing your education and taking difficult classes whilst maintaining an interest in servitude towards the country. Much more favorable than enlisting.

Get those pushups in better shape. We compared our scores at SLE and it seemed that 48 is what you needed to pass it. Make sure to do a practice CFA every so often to see your progress. If you do not have a pullup bar, see if you can find a playground to use or a bar for something else. If you...

What is the #1 thing you saw during Beast that nobody should ever do?

Those are definitely not failing. There were some people I knew at SLE with much worse scores who passed.

I have not heard back from them yet, so it is still a possibility. It would be the best-worst thing that could happen to me.

As of right now, I have an appointment to USMA and USAFA. I've read previous posts about this and looked at both cultures and personalities of the branches. I talked to admissions officers from both academies and I know that I will be happy at either place. I love flying (father is a flight...

She should get a BFE or portal update then. If not today, don't fret because if everything is complete, she will receive it soon!

Typically you may get a phone call from your MOC congratulating you of your appointment. If this happens, you should get a BFE in the mail followed by the portal update.
