I was able to fill out the security form on Adobe after downloading just fine and then printing later. Tried one other computer before it that didn't support filling it out electronically. As for accessibility, it was initially a pain to navigate to the portal (so was accessing the application...

With that in mind I'll build up to 7 miles, which was the original goal to compensate for boots. I guess I was on the right track as it was. Thank you!

What I meant was what is the maximum distance in a single run. I'm not much of a runner so the high volume gets to me and gives me some inflammation and that. I would like to know at what point I can lay off of the distance in favor of speed for the AFT. My first goal is survival (in distance...

Of all the things prior cadets have told me about physical preparedness, conditioning was the most important. What is the maximum distance we can expect to run in one sitting? I would like to know if I need to keep pushing for distance or to start focusing more on intervals and such for my 1.5...

Deferred EA here also. I wasn't nominated by then. Then I received a principal nomination and got the letter around the end of January or early February.

My appointment letter came in a small 8.5x11in envelope, if I remember right. All it had was a letter explaining their admissions decision, so it wasn't a fat envelope. Again, that's if I remember right.

Registered today fort he March 17th date, so the website is now up and running.

I received notice that the event was closed while attempting to sign up. This was before I even entered a date to register for.

From what I've been told, your credits will not transfer. Your knowledge, however, will allow you to test out of English, chemistry, calc, computer science, possibly physics, etc. If you take the AP test then maybe it is like an extra shot at validating if you're kind of on the line of passing...

I've talked to maybe four other graduates not on this forum, and every single one said they'd do it again. One commented that knowing how much work it was he wouldn't do the work again, but he's glad he went through in the first place.

Why would you have to decide between validating through AP versus validating through a test at BCT? I would just take every AP test you can and try to validate any other courses for which you didn't take AP. If your AP score isn't high enough to validate you still get a second shot by placing...

It is nice to know that even academic probation did not deter you from loving the experience. I will admit that few to no people on this forum disliked their experience. If you hated it, you probably wouldn't be giving us all advice!

Every time I've talked with a past academy grad, the question that most interests me is whether or not they would do it again. I'm calling on those of you who have graduated any service academy, ROTC included, to let me know if you would attend an academy again and if it was worth it. Every...

Edit to mine also. Received the official offer of appointment in my portal.

I just received word of a principal nomination to USAFA and a congratulations on my appointment. Although my portal says nothing about my appointment, I am 3Q with a principal, so from my understanding, I'm now guaranteed an appointment. Now the tough decisions are becoming reality!

Checked my portal 30 minutes ago do a deferral notice. I wouldn't otherwise mind, knowing that I am at least close to an appointment, but I have an AFROTC scholarship whose acceptance deadline is January 24th....

I didn't fall in love with UMD but I will probably end up there if I don't get an appointment. What I know first hand about the two schools is limited to only a couple hours worth of a general tour, so my impression now may be totally wrong. I did very much like the opportunities it offers in...

My family and I have come to the conclusion that if I don't accept the commandants scholarship by January 24th (his deadline for a verbal), then I'm throwing away $70,000. I will know on the USAFA by January 15th, so if the academy is a yes, then my decision is easy. If it's not or I'm deffered...

That was kind of my feeling. I also liked certain aspects of UMD, but it did not feel as college-y as UMTC. I also like the look of campus better and a few other things like food, etc. It will suck to be in a lecture hall of up to 700 but I'll manage. Thanks for the help deciding.
