With less than a week until I-Day, I wanted to share some thoughts to hopefully put your minds at ease a little. First off, relax. Enjoy these days with your family/friends and don't stress too much about BCT or the Academy in general. I-Day will come at the same time whether you stress or not...

Hello everyone! It has been awhile since I've been active on here, but with I-Day for 2021 coming up, I wanted to offer an opportunity for incoming cadets to ask any questions they would like-I am more than happy to help where I can, and hopefully some other current cadets are around and can...

Another milestone down! Our "Wing Round Robin" was today and went very well!

I know that in the past the "Ask new Doolies anything" threads have been beneficial to me, so feel free to ask me any questions you would like. I am sure some of the other new C4Cs hanging around will chime in some. Please know however, that once classes start, no promises on prompt responses...

We have all moved into our new squadrons and are getting ready for the school year! Excited to be moving on from basic and ready for these new challenges!

What was the single greatest moment of either being at the Academy, or on active duty? Or both? Sent using the Service Academy Forums® mobile app

I don't know if it is the best omen to get an appointment on April 1st, but I sure would take it! Sent using the Service Academy Forums® mobile app

What are some of the billets that new ensigns can take directly out of the academy? And what does the day to day look like for those? I know some of the options (flight school, cutters etc), but what, for example, does a junior officer so if they want to specialize in law enforcement? Sent...

While I was attending the USAFA Summer Seminar, I noticed a number of cadets who had been trained as Emergency Medical Technicians, and were out and about during our activities. I was wondering if anyone had any information as to how a cadet goes about receiving this training, and what different...

During plebe summer, is it better to: A. Quickly accept authority and be able to follow orders, but perhaps struggle more with the physical aspects. OR B. Be a physical stud, but let the yelling get to you. Obviously, it is best to a combo of the two, but, as a hypothetical question, what...

I am curious if anyone has any opinion on whether USNA will go to a policy similar to USAFA and wear NWUs several days a week? Or is this overall Department of the Navy policy? Sent using the Service Academy Forums® mobile app

I had lunch with an SA second class, and the topic of the friendships an academy create was brought up. The cadet said something I found interesting: "I can look at some people and say "I really don't like you, but I would do anything to help you"". I was curious as to if anyone had any comments...

This may be a weird question... But here goes! For those of you who have some insight, what sorts of things distinguish room/company mates who help each other, from those who don't? In other words, what are some things that mids do, whether in plebe summer or beyond, that really help out those...

So, I got to a question on the medical history, that I read and re-read several times: "Have you ever or do you have a medical illness or condition?" I thought to myself, wow, that is a really silly question, of course I've been sick before, but nothing really serious... So on the...

Finally taking my CFA today! Last piece of the puzzle, except for DoDMERB, which is a whole separate puzzle...

Hey all! I attended aim this summer (first session), and while I didn't exactly enjoy all of it (that's not exactly the point though), I learned a lot and am glad I went. I did have two questions though: 1. For anyone who has possibly been through both aim and swab summer (or similar), how...

Hello all, so I have had the lovely joy of managing to sprain the same ankle three times, including a growth plate fracture the first time. I was seen by a doctor each time, and no action other than rest it and ice it. The third time I also completed physical therapy, to strengthen the nearby...

I found out on Friday that I had been accepted to attend summer seminar at usafa. I was wondering if that was any indication as to being competitive for the other summer programs, or if they are too different to be able to make that comparison. Thank you!
