My son who just graduated this June 2016 stored his car this summer in Colorado Springs at a storage place for about $45 per month, while he traveled with fellow cadets to all parts of the world on vacation. I would suggest using one of these lots for one month, and then your son can get the car...

I agree with everyone about Southwest Airlines. My son used Southwest for all of his travel between Denver and our home. It was wonderful because we often had to change dates of travel and there is not a charge for this....Also, we often had our son travel to different destinations and they...

Thank you for all of the advice. I will be copying the suggestions and forwarding them to him and will keep you posted about what happens. Thank you all for helping with your words of wisdom! It is so very appreciated by me and all of the others who have been so helped by the people on this forum.

My son (like many of your sons and daughters) has dreamt of becoming a pilot one day. Everything seemed to be going well, but the Academy optometrists assured our C1C that he did not need PRK surgery because his vision was acceptable in each eye (20/40 in one eye and 20/70 in the other eye) and...

Congratulations...He is clearly an outstanding and remarkable young man. He (and the entire family) is going to have a very exciting journey. May you all be blessed!

Wildblueyonder...I loved what you had to share! It is encouraging to hear from cadets that are still so happy about their acceptance to USAFA and even all of the challenges of Doolie year! My son (who is a C1C) is still happy about his acceptance to USAFA and the challenges, the honor, and the...

Dear 3rdGen, Congratulations on your son receiving the PRINCIPAL (first in order of importance;main) Nomination, because this is a really wonderful honor. My son (current C1C- to graduate in June 2016) also received our congressman's Principal Nomination. The people on this forum were so...

My C1C just called a few minutes ago. His PRK surgery went well (he thinks) and he is heading over to his sponsor family's home to recover. He sounded so excited, and so happy, that I just wanted to share the good news with everyone. He said that he already notices how much better is vision is...

You are so delightful...I truly understand why they offered you this opportunity. I am confident you will receive your appointment, and congratulations for being such a remarkable young woman!

My C1C called last night to say that his surgery is scheduled for Thurs. instead of Wed. So...I would appreciate prayers for the surgeon performing the PRK Surgery and for my son to heal perfectly and have his vision corrected. Thank you all so very much for the kindness, support, encouragement...

IMPORTANT! Do not post failing scores. Get yourself in the best shape possible, work with a coach or private trainer and then take the test. USAFA told my son that you can only submit ONE set of scores, so if you fail, you won't get to change your scores later. Train until your scores meet the...

Thank you all so much for your prayers, sweet comments, insights etc. My son just received the call.... minutes ago that the surgeon will do PRK surgery next Wed. Please continue to pray that the surgery will be a success and he can pursue his dream of becoming a pilot. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH...

Thank you all for your prayers and very thoughtful posts.... I still have nothing to share since my son has not yet heard a response from the clinic about whether he will be eligible for this PRK surgery. I truly hope to share some good news tomorrow night...but we will have to wait and see...

I realize that it is highly irregular to ask for prayers on this web-site, but STILL I am compelled to ask for prayers, thoughts, and insights.... My son...who is a C1C just recently was notified by USAFA that his vision might be a problem in enabling him to go to pilot training upon graduating...

Our son is now a C1C, and my head is still spinning from the speed of the past three years... It truly seems like yesterday that our son was graduating from high school and embarking on his dream... Thankfully, his "dream" of attending USAFA has come true, and he is as happy today as he was on...

When will the seniors be notified if they have been selected for UPT and which bases are used to train our future pilots?

Please post again after "RECOGNITION" so that we can hear about how you are doing... I am sure that there are a lot of people praying for you to hang in there through this summer. My best to you, and prayers that you will give a great deal of thought to this decision...

My biggest hope for you is that you will go through "Recognition" and finish this semester. Everyone will tell you that your "life" after "Recognition" will be substantially different. Also, Spring Break will give you a chance to breathe, relax and re-group. You are less than 12 weeks away from...

I have to say that I have GREATLY appreciated the entire team of photographers that are part of the WEB-GUY TEAM. The coverage during BCT was absolutely AMAZING and for most of the events during our son's Doolie Year. However, although I still encourage everyone to pay the monthly fee of...

As always...I find Christcorp's advice to be invaluable! If you are new to the forum, you should go and read all of his posts, and I promise that you will learn more from him than anyone else that I know! My son (now a C3C) is (thankfully) still so grateful to be a cadet at USAFA and still...
