    March back from Jack’s Valley for Class of 2029???

    I have so much vacation time saved up, that I will probably just take both weeks off. It will be interesting to see if the Polaris Hotel will have any rooms available. I thought Doolie Day Out was between 1st beast and 2nd beast???

    The Gunsmith Thread

    Do you think it is a MIM part? As a slight thread drift # 1, here is me shooting: Bill Drill with a Beretta Langdon Elite Model 92 I have since learned that a Bill Drill is a hands naturally relaxed at sides start. I used to be a quasi sponsored shooter. Side drift #2, I also dabbled in...

    My 40+ observations from the 30th USAFA class reunion

    #35, #45, and #50 : Best room ever! See the deadbolt lock? See the peephole? See that there is no grate at the top of the door? That was my room the last semester of my firstie year. Of course, the only thing I had hanging by the door back then was a roll of toilet paper with each...

    March back from Jack’s Valley for Class of 2029???

    In doing a quick and dirty google search for “grads march back from Jack’s Valley”, it appears to me that the basics march back on the last Friday of July or the first Friday in August. So it looks like it would be either July 25th or August 1st next year: Does that seem correct to you all...

    AM490 Boot

    Everything is still recorded by high speed cameras on the ground, right? With a timer running, right? The cadet in question was sat down in front of a screen/monitor and got to watch his/her jumps, right? And then somebody went over their grade sheet or scoresheet, right? Did this Airmanship...

    What are my chances of getting in?

    For us 94’ers, we took placement tests the first few days of BCT. While, yes, it would be nice to test out of some classes, let me suggest an alternate route…. That is ASSuming that you get into USAFA. That would be to intentionally sandbagg the placement tests. This gets you into a less...

    My 40+ observations from the 30th USAFA class reunion

    (94+3). Our reunion committee did an excellent job especially coming up with a Plan B to get everyone to fit in the Friday night banquet.

    My 40+ observations from the 30th USAFA class reunion

    I am going to call this #44, since it is cadet related…. 44. At least in Vandy, in one men’s bathroom / shower room, there will still partitions in the showers. But no doors / no curtains.

    My 40+ observations from the 30th USAFA class reunion

    (94+1). The far right end tail of the normal curve… I re-met 3 of my classmates who were still active duty. One was a full bird colonel at USAFA. He is part of the selection process deciding which cadets go to Space Force. Another is a 2 star. And, IIRC, the third one I re-met, just put on...

    My 40+ observations from the 30th USAFA class reunion

    Do you remember when you were a kid and would get to the comics or crossword section of the newspaper and there would be a “game” like this? So this thread is meant to be a “just the facts ma’am!” notation of the things I observed or how things were different compared to 1990-1994. I...

    Addressing The Rumor Mill

    I don’t know quite how the Gazette was notified off the lack of beef/steak at Mitch’s…. A. If some cadet “dropped a dime” on the Academy/Supt? Or B. Some reporter was lurking on whatever social media or app that the cadets communicate back and forth on. If A. , don’t be surprised if...

    Thoughts on recent grad, 2LT/C.O. Metzler?

    Are there bed pans at Walter Reed in need of cleaning/emptying?

    Addressing The Rumor Mill

    One of my classmates 30 years ago went to a Marine Corps program called “Bulldog” one summer. Later on, he cross commissioned into the Marines. We were together in some I/O psychology class. At some point, after he attended Bulldog, he said in class that “close order drill was THEE best way to...
