    BCT Medical Turnbacks

    Looking for some insight into why medical turn backs from 2019 BCT are being required to report a week early this year.This looks like a change from the past. In a "frequently asked questions" document from BCT last year it stated that turn back cadets could report at any time on I-Day.

    Falcon Foundation prep schools - is there a ranking or profile of all of them?

    I think all of the schools that are on the list do their job to prepare you for USAFA. My son was encouraged to go the military school route versus the other options.

Two and a half weeks into BCT, he suffered a...

    Falcon Foundation

    The one thing that I know that he did was to make sure his admissions counselor (can't remember if that is the right term?) knew that he was completely open to prep school or the FF scholarship.

    USAFA Prep school/Falcon foundation admissions?

    He is at Marion Military Institute and really likes it. My husband went to the Prep School at the Academy and he is very impressed with Marion. In fact, he thinks that we should send our other son there when he is ready for college. He has no interest in a service academy but we think the...
