    Printers for USAFA cadets

    I believe that every cadet should have their own printer, they are relatively inexpensive, and can last your entire time here. I had a different situation, as my roommate decided to be rather.. well... and not let ANYONE use his printer. We have been in class for less than a month and the...

    Current Doolie here to answer any questions.

    BCT in all reality isn't that bad. Obviously getting yelled at sucks, and always being wrong can be miserable at times.
