Computer access from home
Hi
Thanks for the input, DS reinstalled the program and got it to allow him access so all is right with the world.

Have any of the cadets signed on to check final grades from their home internet? My DS seems unable to connect from any network other than the academy.

PFT
Hi
If he wants to be at the service academy (regardless of which one) he needs to do well on this test. Nothing he is doing in high school sports is as important as this. If he needs to take a few days off to get the score he needs, so be it. My DS who was a drafted athlete had to retake...
Question...How does summer school work at the academy. Can a cadet use it to take a class to make the load better for the next term? Can a cadet use it to re-take a failed class? If taken for a failed or sub-standard grade will it replace the poor grade in the GPA going forward?

Max scores
I would say since anything past the max does not help your application, save yourself for the rest of the test. By the time you run you will need the extra you have left.

Hi
When I look on the calendar it shows summer 1st period, 2nd period, 3rd period. How do we tell when our cadets will be home for summer? We need to plan his sisters wedding and I don't know how this two weeks or ? off works.

Hi
Someone who has done the mandatory boxing at the academy please tell me how it works. I would like to understand the process my DS is going through.

CFT 2
It means the academy saw something in your results that made them concerned you may have difficulty with the physical fitness at the academy. My DS had the same and is now at the academy after posting better running time.

USAFA Closed down programs and stuff
As the father of a C4C this concerns me a lot.
- Cadet study centers are closed, including the cadet library, media lab, and tutor centers.

Science
Your scores are competitive as the class of 2017 Mid 50% Range for science was 27-32. The academy looks at the whole person and you will be up against students with strong grades, community service, sports and leadership. Work to ensure you have not missed an opportunity in the other...
ACT a total of 7 times
I thank you are over thanking this test. The academy super scores and you need to get a better science grade and in my humble opinion, spend all your study time on science. If you raise that up a few points, you will look more competitive.

To apply or not to apply
My DS was in the same boat and was willing to only attend Air Force. He made the decision to only apply to Air Force and lucky for him it turned out well. He said he would only enjoy the experiences offered at Air Force and had no interest in any other service including...
Cleats
Hi
If you are running on a outdoor track (sponge like surface) I would thank cleats might slow you down as compared to running shoes. My Ds did use cleats for the shuttle run on artificial grass for better traction and it seemed to have been fine. (not sure if it was faster but worked...
College in high school
Hi
It means accredited college courses you have taken either on campus or on line. Transcript must come direct from college or university you received credit from.

K Test
My DS passed the last one and said he failed this one. I asked him why he did not pass this one and he said as an IC he had to make a choice. Study for an important Calculus test tomorrow or study for the K-Test. He said it had to be the Calculus as there was only so many hours in a day...
Hi
I have a question, are cadets in uniform permitted to fly first class? I have lots of credit card miles and wish to treat my DS for the holiday. He mentioned he was told that military in uniform are not allowed to be in first class. Does anyone know if this is true?
