I just plan on bringing one travel size thing of body wash, toothpaste, and deodorant then buy more at the C-store. Not checking the bag...

Ok that's about how my eyes are, maybe a little bit worse. But if I get to basic and decide I can function the same without the BCGs, its ok to lose them? Edit: Not like its that big of a deal. But if I can get by without them...

He can do it. I did mine with my basketball coach. Unless you are already maxing out most of the categories, I would wait until around August to send in your official CFA. You can make a lot of progress in two months.

I took the ACT and really didn't think I did that much better than the SAT but my admissions counseler said it raised my academic composite by 200 points. I don't know how good that is, but it was 200 points I wouldn't have had on my file otherwise! So definetely take both.

I would definitely prefer to have compression shorts if the PT shorts are as small as the ones they give out at summer seminar :bleh2:

Quick question: Is there a restriction on the size of monitor you can use for your computer? I've been looking for a monitor that I can bring up next year after Acceptance and came across a great deal on a 23 inch Dell. I realize this is kinda big and want to make sure I'll be allowed to...

USAFA Hopeful has the best advice: get it done over summer. Try to let your teachers know about the evaluations before school is out as it may be difficult to contact them over the summer and they are usually pretty busy at the start of the school year. Good luck!

I'm really starting to enjoy sleeping a lot while I still can.

You don't have to have perfect vision to be a pilot, needs to be correctable to 20/20 though.

You keep everything they give you. Pretty much the only time you don't wear their shirts is when you get there and when you leave. And I guess maybe in your room at night. If I remember correctly, you get like 5 shirts and a jacket. They tell you to bring a "travel pillow" on the list (I...

I had one for 26 over (:frown:) a pretty good while back (before I had applied to the USAFA). My admissions counselor said that it didn't have any bearing on an appointment. They just want to make sure that you don't have any charges pending when you get here. So I would think as long as you...

Wow, that's a really good deal. Especially considering that's about how much I'll be paying for lift tickets for the 4 days I'll be at Breck in March. Thanks for the info man. Very much appreciated.

Hornetguy, I know you can get your gear through the Ski Club, but do you get some deal on lift tickets through them or do you buy something like the Colorado Pass? Thanks! I am definetely looking foward to hittin the slopes next year. The once a year, 16+ hour trip from Texas just doesn't...

My best advice would be to have examples for your answers. i.e. instances where you have shown your leadership capabilities, when and how you've over come adversity or a difficult situation, when you've displayed "honor code" type qualities. etc Good luck!

I knew a guy that went to the academy, majored in management, and is now in F-22 training. Personally, I think it would be cool to have an engineering degree so you can understand how what you are flying really works.

You should be getting your appointment soon! :thumb:

Once basketball season is over, I'm not planning on doing any weight training before BCT(maybe only some curls, triceps ext. etc). As said above, I feel like my time is MUCH better spent focusing on pushups, abs, pullups, and running. Also I would recommend swimming as an alternative to...

Nah you're just fine. I didn't even know about Summer Seminar until a few days before the application deadline and got in.

Just so you know, the AFA calculates their own GPA for your file to ensure that everyone is on as level of playing field as possible. So 90 and an A is not better than 90 and a B. The fact that its in a hard class like AP Phyisics will definetely help you though, not hurt you. They would rather...

Ahh yes. You're right CC it is the final one. Thanks for the correction.
