    Ask new C4Cs anything!

    As a parent I am getting a good chuckle out of reading the 'beatings' these kids are getting. My D* and I don't was to disclose anything about them, grew up where if you were not on time, slow, you had some PT I would come up with. Pushups, running, sit-ups etc. And there was also some MT...

    BCT preparation

    Our DD has already started the PACT Pre-Arrival Cadet Training. It would also help to arrive early to get used to the fact your at 1 1/2 miles up and the air is thin. The PACT is on the forum somewhere I don't know where she found it. I think its also on the AFA website.

    USAFA and Scholarships?

    We created a 529 plan for our DD when she was -8 months old. We also have pre paid tuition for any state school. I was wondering can we take that money and just pay off her loan, it a rather sizable amount of money many more times what it seems the loan amount is so she won't have any loan?

    My DD said if its on the portal that is enough for her. She also said, anything they send to document the appointment would be somewhat meaningless, she has earned the appointment, but its more important that she graduates, now that all she cares about. She said, getting the appointment is easy...
