    Morning. One last item my DS needs for inprocessing is eyeglass straps. Do they need to be tight to the head or can strap hang? DS never wears glasses, so we are in unknown territory here. Any recommendations?

    Hello to all. Our DS received his BFE yesterday from the USAFA (see, I'm learning!). I am finally putting aside my superstitions about jinxing his application by registering here to say thanks for all the advice and support we have been given during the application roller coaster. I know the...
