    Doolie Life-Female POV

    It is supposed to be 2 cadets per dorm room...doolies can however end up in 3 man rooms. And my squad was allowed to choose roommates. This is squadron dependent. They have a bank account for you, but I closed mine and switched to USAA (most people do this). And you can certainly get a debit card!

    if you mean feminine hygiene products, yes! I actually think you have to. I would highly recommend bringing them anyways. And I am not entirely sure on that. The only medication that I saw people take during BCT was birth control and pain killers.

    Actually, Air Force was not my first choice. West Point was. I applied to WP, Navy, and Air Force. I attended Navy's STEM, summer seminar, and candidate visit weekends, and really liked Navy. But Army had always been my number one. Yet after visiting all three, USAFA took my heart. Up until...

    They will give you a list for I-Day, but my advice is--don't bring white undergarments. Black are better. And actually, a lot of people in my squad ran out. I brought $150 and I had a lot left over. My parents came out on Acceptance day and gave me more/brought some stuff from home, so that...

    Oh don't worry about sounding rude. So honestly, yes we were better at different aspects of basic. Also, since you are a female you stand out moreso than your male counterparts. You will likely get called out because you stand out. For me, the first time I ran the 1.5 mile at elevation was the...

    Doolie Life-Female POV

    In my squad there are 22 males and 8 females in the class of 2019. In high school, I had very close girl friends and fewer guy friends. So for me that was a big adjustment, but a welcomed one. I find in some ways guys do look down on girls for physical things. In academics and military life...

    Doolie Life-Female POV

    I came in knowing I wanted to do something involving biology or philosophy, but I still haven't declared. When I came here I thought for sure that I did not want to fly, but after seeing all of the demonstrations...it's hard to say that I won't consider it. You have until your Sophomore year to...

    Doolie Life-Female POV

    Hi! I'm a doolie (freshman) at USAFA. I know after I received my appointment last year that I had a million questions concerning academy life, basic cadet training, and the likes.
