    USAFA Vision

    You all need to chill out. I'm well past 20/600 (can't remember the exact figure) and have -8.5 in both eyes last I checked (both correctable to 20/20 though...). I got it waived. The cutoff for myopia is -8.0 in both eyes to be dq'd, I think. But even that can get waived...if you're really...

    What to Bring as an Incoming Freshman...

    I doubt you'll be allowed to keep/ever have time to look at review packets during basic. So if you want to, look at it before basic. That being said, I dunno how necessary that'll be. Also, I completely forgot about this, but I remember getting a letter from the math dept. about placement...

    Questions for a Freshman Cadet

    really? In our instructions to appointees book it said that if you took Chem+lab at an accredited university, got an A or B in the class and did well on the exam you could get credit...I mean, I could be wrong, but if I don't have to go through another year of gen chem, that would be nice. so...

    Instructions to Appointees Packet
