Greetings all, I have an odd resume as of lately. Junior year I decided to do what I wished to do and built an airplane. It's a single place Star duster SA-100. It's not your typical 17 year old thing to do. I did it, it was solely me, and I have the builders pictures to prove it to the...

Hello all, I've posted on here before asking about my chances of receiving an appointment to the Air Force Academy, but what I really wanted to know is this: how am I looking? I suppose the way it's worded changes the meaning quite a bit. Also, I'm an incoming junior. Just to clear that up...

Hello all, I know some of you have read my previous posts about sports, and considering I'm doing individual sport(s) (wrestling and possibly track), I need to display some sort of teamwork/leadership. Here are my thoughts: I'm pretty good at programming and I enjoy it highly. Why not create...

Hello all, I hope everyone is having a good day. I have a question that has been bothering me quite a bit lately. Currently, I'm an incoming junior. I didn't play any sports sophomore year because I wanted to focus on school and flying. I made a 3.8 GPA in all of the most advanced classes...

Hey all, I haven't posted in a long time, but I've been very busy. I overloaded my course load and I want your opinions on my current standings with USAFA. Is acceptance everything academics? My schedule as a sophomore: U.S. History - A+ H Math II (Trig, Alg II, Geom) - B- Religion II - A+...

Hey guys, I have a few questions regarding course loads. I appreciate all answers, just saying in advance. Currently, I'm a sophomore in high school. I have a 3.9 GPA and a 4.211 GPA. I forget which is weighted and unweighted, but anyway, you get the just. I'm in all Honors classes, I'm...

So, this question has been asked over and over again. I'm still every confused. I've never used alcohol, nor do I use alcohol now. My sense of the word used is that of a negative sense; I feel it means that you've abused alcohol. I've been at family events such as New Years and weddings...

Hello all, I've been on this form for advice in the past, and I wanted to say thank you to all those that do participate and give advice. I'm a 10th grade student currently, and have aspirations of going to the Academy. I've had these aspirations for years now, but have always been too young...

Hello all, So, I'm a member of the JSA State which is a program that allows us students to travel to D.C. every year and participate in government. It teaches us to be leaders and how to be involved as leaders. So, first question - is this the same as boys and girls state? Also, how heavy do...

So, as the title says, I'll be speaking with my ALO tomorrow during school. Any tips, advice, etc? I'm dressing up in a shirt, tie, khakis, and shoes like sperry's shoes. Will this suffice? What should I expect? Thanks. Sent using the Service Academy Forums® mobile app

Out of curiosity, what kept you continuing to pursue your appointment and topple the hardships you faced along the way? My thought has been and still is that someone out there wants this thing as bad as I, but they probably aren't feeling like they want the easy way out. So with that said...

So, I've received two concussions: one in football and one in wrestling. Could this potentially disqualify me if this was my freshman year? I also was prescribed an inhaler but have never been officially diagnosed with asthma. It was just during the time I had walking pneumonia that they...

Hello all, My school counselor has spoken with my local ALO and has arranged a meeting with him on Monday during my study hall. My question to you is: what should I speak to him about? How should I address him? He's a LtCol. Also, this IS NOT my interview; should I treat it as an interview...

Hello, and thanks for taking time to read this. You may have seen my previous thread on my application, but I was reconsidering one thing: scouts Will hop getting my Eagle Scout be good for the Academy? Is it just something to have that they don't really consider? Any input will help. Thank...
