    Contracting/Waiver

    Hi, I am a freshman who just joined my school's Army ROTC program. I had two questions 1. How do you stay competitive for a contract (general tips), especially because I can not compete until I have my waiver go through for the below question. 2. I tore my ACL and had it reconstructed in 2017...

    Tips for the Mile CFA

    Hi! Best way to increase your endurance is to run everyday - try running a mile at a consistent pace as you don't want to run so hard in the first lap so you can't finish the rest. Other variations could be 4 laps each at your hardest with a break in-between 2 laps break and then another 2...

    Surgery

    Hi everyone, Some sad news... I tore my ACL and I am getting surgery on March 3rd. ACL recoveries are very long, and usually athletes do not fully recover until 12 months after the procedure. I was wondering if anyone else has experience this/know what to do in terms of the CFA and the medical...

    SLE Application

    Hi All, I know the SLE Application is open, but I am wondering whether I should start it once I receive my updated PSAT scores, or just use my old ones (they were not great. I am now studying for the real tests ) I'm assuming the new scores will be higher, especially math after learning much of...

    Class Choices

    Wow, I would just like to thank everyone for all the replies! I will definitely talk to my parents, and I think having four honors classes instead of five will be okay. I think my parents are trying to look out for me and trying to make sure I still get good grades. I intend to double up on...

    How important is it to participate in a school sport?

    Running every day or as much as you can will help your stamina and your overall fitness. I know it's early, but start prepping for the CFA now. Try to do at least 1 set of push-ups, sit ups, and pull-ups everyday! By the time you take the CFA, you should pass with flying colors! Team sports...

    USAFA Acceptance Possibility?

    Based on you're high school résumé, I would say that the chances of your acceptance are unlikely (based on grades.) You could be accepted to the prep school which is for people who excel in extracurriculars as well as athletics. Always have a plan B, like ROTC. You could reapply after one year...
