The only way you have no chance is to not compete. You certainly have your work cut out for you, but a rapid turnaround to exceptional grades, plus strong leadership, and athletics would certainly be a plus. Start prepping for your ACT/SAT. What varsity sports are you involved in...

There is no reason not to submit it. USAFA super scores so they take the highest scores you submit and disregard everything else, and there is no guarantee you will do better next time. 1400 is certainly well within the realm of acceptable scores.

Your high school guidance office should have that information. Ask there. If they don't have it, there are a number of ALOs on here that can likely help. Good job starting early! Athletics. Academics. Leadership.

HTN stands for Helicopter Training Next, a program within the United States Air Force. The program involves training for helicopter pilots, and the 23d Flying Training Squadron at Fort Novosel, Alabama is responsible for its execution

Life guarding is great for a number of reasons. There is a shortage, so jobs are plentiful. It has a huge leadership component, there is a pretty significant swim requirement at USAFA, and learning how to lead and manage a crisis situation, to name a few.

Yep. The "Doolies" are at rest at 1605. No minutes, etc

One more thing. In all of my years as an UPT IP, the Captains that went to pilot training almost always outperformed their 2Lt counterparts and got their first choice. It stinks you didn't get what you wanted, but this, most certainly, isn't the end, just a different path.

No such thing as a bad assignment. I was a Tweet FAIP at Laughlin for 6 years. Certainly a "career killer" for what 23 year old me wanted, turns out it was the best thing that could have happened.

They no longer have minutes or doolies for that matter.

Agreed. Part of the academic calendar. It's not like job drops are a surprise. It does, however, show the cadets how little the AF thinks of them. A lesson they will not forget.

There is an away game and D&B is also traveling. I would hope NLT than Wednesday.

The Sup is in way over his head.

Mine won't go near a "doolie". I just saw an MFR from a freshman ripping on seniors, by name, for correcting greetings. The doolies are at rest at 1605 every day. No minutes, and virtually no training going on.

Then they need to dump the STEM majors, and make it a straight military school.

That's plenty of time for a management major, not nearly enough for the STEM types.

Depends on the major for the academic portion. The aero majors already don't have enough time.

As we all know, regardless of what training plan has been approved, a mere allegation is a career killer for a cadet. You couldn't force him near a doolie in this environment.

My firstie won't go near a 4th class cadet for fear of being disenrolled over any type of hazing allegation. Not worth it.

Old guy story. I personally witnessed two 2Lts, 6 weeks from UPT graduation, assignments in hand, filling out security paperwork. The "have you tried XYZ" question came up. The same question they had steadfastly answered no to for the previous 5 years, they answered yes to. Long story short...

The most current rumor is 5 Sep.
