    Vice Presidential Nomination

    Realize also that the academies have the latitude to switch around nominations. Example… you have a presidential nomination and a senator and another individual from your state has similar. They may use the military nomination for you so they can free up the senate nomination for someone else...

    Falcon Football = 8-0. Next up….. Army

    In my opinion, which doesn't count for much, the way the CFB championship playoff SHOULD BE IS: Currently, the most games possibly played is 15. 12 normal season, 1 for conference championship, 1 for bowl game, and 1 for championship game. My proposal keeps the same amount. 1. The P5 conference...

    Falcon Football = 8-0. Next up….. Army

    My comment about army being tough was humor. Hence the Major Payne video. Army definitely sucks this year. Having said that… that makes them a very dangerous team and game. They have absolutely nothing to lose. They do have the commander in chief trophy however to fight for. Air Force has to...

    Falcon Football = 8-0. Next up….. Army

    Falcon Football = 8-0. Next up….. Army

    Air Force is on a roll. Even in 20 degrees and a major snow storm, the falcons beat in-state rival Colorado state 30-13. This coming Saturday we will play Army at the Denver Bronco’s NFL Mile High Stadium in Denver. Time to win the Commander in Chief trophy again. ”Kick @$$ Falco(n)”

    SAT converted to ACT score?

    Unless you received a 1600 on the SAT, why would you think an ACT converted score in the low 30's is "SO LOW". The MAXIMUM ACT score is 36. A 32 ACT is basically the same as a 1425 SAT. Did you score a 1600? Also, the 2 tests have some areas that aren't totally equivalent to each other. But the...

    Rated positions

    One thing I've noticed over the years, and it doesn't seem to change much, is that the dreams, aspirations, goals, etc. of the individual walking in as a cadet on day 1, dramatically changes in the 4 years they are at the academy. Most/Many of these grand dreams of being a pilot and a glorious...

    Evaluator ALO issues

    As someone who was also an ALO, "Not my son's obviously", I can honestly say my son was in a unique position. He had ALL the appropriate boxes checked. Ranked #1 in his class; ALL of his classes were in the IB program and advanced classes; graduated with a 4.0 gpa unweighted; multi-sport varsity...

    Evaluator ALO issues

    I'd like to add 1 thing to the wonderful answer Capt MJ posted. The one time where early submission and an entire completed package could be beneficial; I emphasize COULD, because the academy rules seem to always change a little year to year..... is if the applicant who has completed their...

    Should I listen to my gut feeling or logic? (deciding to reapply to USAFA)

    In ALL the reasons you wrote on why you wanted to apply and attend the Air Force academy…….. not ONCE did I see anything that said “you wanted to SERVE your country; be a military officer; be part of something bigger than yourself; etc….” Just something to think about. You might say you want...

    Critical Race Theory (CRT) at USAFA

    The problem with CRT, or ANY similar project, is that it isn't intended to TEACH people to be anti-racist/sexist/misogynist/particular religion, etc. The problem is; most individuals who are promoting such education is trying to label certain people as victims and provide excuses. They are...

    Where's Christcorp?

    Dang.... u guys miss me? Tearing up here. Hee hee. Seriously, all is well. Was suppose to go to see the son/daughter in law/grandson in Okinawa in April, but the lock downs haulted that. Still working, so other than traveling, life is the same. Praying we have a football season with fans this...

    Parents...calm down

    While I consider myself a techno-geek, been doing it way before Al Gore invented the internet, I sometimes miss the days before social media and the internet. One thing I think was great, was that parents didn’t consider their kids at the academy or enlisted as, “off to college”. Your children...

    Oath at commissioning

    As stated, the enlisted doesn't have to be from the same branch of service. ALSO.... the enlisted doesn't "Have to" be in uniform. I gave my son his first salute and I wore a suit. Honestly, I would NOT DISGRACE the air force by trying to wear a military uniform, 13+ years, AND 50 pounds later...

    College Withdrawal From Class

    1. A "C" in college doesn't calculate the same as a "C" in high school 2. There's a LOT of things in life that you're not going to like doing, or won't be able to excel at. Do you plan on "Withdrawing" from those when you are presented with them? 3. If the average student is taking 5 classes a...

    Third Time's the Charm

    This is a difficult post to reply to. Your son is a R2D2 (C2C). Does he have any experience with ROTC life? Obviously there are differences between the two, just wondering what that has to do with this topic. It might be more difficult for someone who has done ROTC or even traditional civilian...

    Third Time's the Charm

    Obviously, you have to consider all sides and make the best decision for you. I've always recommended individuals try again if they don't make it. But I would ask you, being you're currently a sophomore in college; would be starting your junior year in college when starting your freshman year at...

    IB Diploma Program: Good for academics or waste of time and money?

    As ders-Dad and I pointed out a couple of times, the main advantage of the IB program is "NON-Tangible". No, you're not going to be able to validate certain classes going into the academy or college. Then again, that isn't really important unless you plan on doing a double-major and can't fit in...

    USAFA recruit athlete

    The main question was answered: ALL appointees must have a nomination. Even a star athlete. And I can tell you first hand, I know of "Star Athletes" and others with an LOA "Letter of Assurance" who did NOT receive a nomination; and as such, did NOT receive an appointment to the academy. Also...
