    2014 BCT Packing List

    So are white compression shorts with light gray waistbands that have the Nike pro combat label on them ok? I bought them in a size up so they are comfortable to use as boxer-briefs as well.

    Ok that makes sense, thank you. The Waterproof Rocky boots only come in insulated models (400g insulation), wouldn't that be too hot in the summer? Otherwise it's non-waterproof vented boots. The Appointee manual specifies waterproof so I might call cadet issue tomorrow.

    Actually it's the waterproof insulated model or the vented model? I don't know if I want 400g of insulation during the summer, but USAFA requires a gortex booty or similar.

    Thanks for the advice everybody. I'll definitely not worry about buying them at USAFA on my visit this weekend. The Rocky boots look really nice, do I get the waterproof model or the insulated waterproof model? Do the sizes run a little big or small? Also how about the Nike Special Field boot? A...

    Thanks for all the tips! I think I will wait on the boots till after basic. I definitely am excited about my tour next weekend! I suppose I should have mentioned that the shoes are Nike Free HyperFeels, not toe shoes but just really light weight sock like ones. I have a black pair although...

    I'm taking an appointee tour next weekend and I was wondering if I would be able to buy combat boots at the academy? Otherwise are there recommendations on a good make and model? I'm going to run once or twice a week in them to get used to them. Also, I run track and cross country and I was...

    Faithful to your number 1 branch, I like it. Obviously you will have very good options judging by your 3 nom's. Ditto on the application simplicity.

    USAFA Sleep Schedule

    Is an engineering major really that time consuming in relation to other majors (I want to be a pilot so I know I can major in practically anything)?

    Choosing a Detachement

    So the scholarship type I receive might do the choosing for the Air Force option it sounds like. Sorry if I should know this but I couldn't find out what SFT/EA selection stands for. Do you have to apply for a rated slot sophomore year and if you don't get it you are dis-enrolled? And this...

    I'm a Navy 4 year scholarship winner and waiting to hear from Air Force, both for aerospace engineering. After college I have my heart set on getting a pilot slot in the AF or Navy. I was hoping to get some advise, based on my major and desire to fly, on which school to choose. I applied to...
