Get that sheet ASAP and send it in, but also bring in a copy on I-day. You'll end up getting quite a few shots on I-day I'll bet, unless you got all the shots already.

I'm wondering if any other cadets are traveling to DIA on Wednesday, May 12th anytime from 5-9 PM who I could ride with? Thanks.

Its really 100% up to you and your cadet to go with them on I-day. Ask your son/daughter what they'd rather have. My parents came along with me and it was no problem, emotional for sure, but I preferred them being there. After you drop your cadet off, there are many different groups and...

Current cadets/former cadets... How much running do you actually do during first BCT? I have heard from some that they run miles every day, and others who said they only run every other day and that is in groups so the pace is not grueling. I'm not necessarily worried, just wanting to get...

Rather than start a new thread for this question, here it goes.... 1.) My Mom is wondering how the squads line up at the swearing in ceremony on the 26th (she wants to be on the wall nearest the squadron I'll be in to maximize her chances of spotting me) So, for people who know, lets say...

Few questions; 1.) What type of razor should we use during first beast? Second best? (electric or manual or battery?) 2.) What type of stuff should we pack up for our parents to bring out to us on parents weekend?

Does anyone know the approximate time that you have to get on the 1.5 mile to be put onto recondo?

What times for the 1.5 miler are we looking at to determine if one gets put onto recondo? Over 11 minutes? Only reason I'm so worried is because my leg is still injured (close to healing, but I haven't been able to run in forever. I just started biking again recently). And also, what...

PFT and AFT during basic training? I saw on the schedule from last year's BCT that they took the PFT the first week during bct. Will they make 2013 take the PFT and AFT during BCT this year? I assume most people do terribly on it, considering the altitude? If you do bad, does it affect...

Yeah, I've got a strained hip flexor and have been out for a while. Its still hurting pretty good, but I'm going to start running again tomorrow. I doubt it will heal before BCT, but I'll push through it. So, everyone else, be thankful you are still healthy and have been able to run/get in...

I was wondering about injuries? If you get injured during Basic training, you are sent home and may return the following year, correct? How about if you are injured your 4th class year after completion of BCT? What happens?

UGH... My strained Hip Flexor is still not any better. So I STILL CAN'T RUN. This is such a downer. I'm getting so worried its unbelievable. I can only hope it heals soon. And when I do start running, should I be looking to run at a fast pace or should I be looking at doing a good pace...

Alright. As most appointees I'm sure, I'm beginning to worry that I'm not in good enough shape for BCT. I freaking strained my hip flexor and am still waiting for the thing to heal before I can start running again, and its making me really really nervous. So, my question is; what type of...

Alright.... I know in the brochure that it says to wear either nice jeans or khaki pants, along with a collared shirt and comfortable walking shoes. I'm planning on just wearing a golf shirt, but cant decide between khakis vs. jeans. For people who have already went to orientation or current...

For those of you who have already gone to orientation or current cadets... How do they go about pairing you with a cadet. I know a cadet out there and plan to have him as my escort. I don't want to be accidentally paired with a random cadet and have him paired with someone else. He...

I just have a few quick questions; 1.) I got an appointment and accepted already... Where do I sign up for an orientation session? 2.) I happen to know a junior at the Academy, is there anyway I can request him as the cadet I tour / stay with or does he have to request me? Thanks
