    Cadet Goals

    Well...where to start. OK, some kid had a question about goals, and I put forth some general advice you would probably get before you start kindergarten. Be nice and make friends. Immediately I was mocked by Freda'sMom with a backhanded comment. Her comment was "liked" by LITS and rjb...

    My advice to him was not to go there, his dream not mine, but please don't involve him. He would have went in enlisted if he wasn't accepted. If you'd like to compare my life success to yours, I'll be happy to. Send me a private message.

    OK, I guess I could write a laundry list of insults, like the one you just directed at me, but it would be unproductive. You can deal with your own personal failures how you like, and I guess that's posting on "serviceacademyforums". I guess that list answers my question about why you did 5...

    If I was trolling, I would correct your grammar. For example "worst" is a superlative noun. You meant to say "worse", the comparative.

    I didn't realize this was some sort of cult. I just wanted to know what the food was like at the Academy.

    @Fred'sMom. Please direct me to where I Posted "memorizing the names of the Supe's children rather than getting through Swab Summer." I've already shown your backhanded comment as a reply. Also, show me your constructive advice to the poster.

    Sounds like a backhanded comment to me. I don't think I suggested learning the names of the Commandant's children. I suggested learning the names and backgrounds of the cadets they'll be serving with. Its called team building, but you probably wouldn't understand that "HelicopterMom" because...

    Is this a serious statement or is this a joke? If this is a joke, its not funny. ADD is a serious issue for some children, and ritalin is a powerful stimulant. If its not a joke, you probably shouldn't have been at the USCGA to begin with, so you may be unqualified to be dispensing advice...

    I would like be the first to inform you, if you rely on intelligence alone, you will be extremely limited in your pursuit of success. College is a place former A students teach B students to work for C students. This is not to say that your academic abilities are insignificant, but it is my...

    That is a very strange disclosure. But I had an English Literature Professor in college that used to always quote Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry character. He would say "A man's got to know his limitations".

    Curious

    I'm curious to know how many graduates stay in past their 5 year commitment, and more importantly, why they leave. I had a chat with "junior" to talk about this subject being, 4 years of no college fun, and probably making a lot less than a civilian job upon graduation. He had some good...

    TennisDad, why don't you set the bar a little lower? Maybe, making it "to" R-Day. Come on - Remember all these kids, including yours, are superstars ,Triple Threats (XXX), and a lot are overachievers. Its not your job, but Cadre's (the machine) job to crush their hopes and dreams "like a beer...

    Anyone use a training mask to build altitude endurance?

    Do Not use one of these! USAFA is at 6000 ft, which still has a lot of oxygen. Levels start to decline rapidly at 8000....I know, I live in Summit County Colorado, at 9800 ft. You'll be fine after a week or two.

    Suggestions for Printer

    I'm going to sound dumb....but how much printing is actually done? We've gone paperless at work, even in high school teachers accept a Word Document via email for assignments. For the light duty printing I do, I bought a wireless scanner,copier, printers...$50. No Fax machine, but who sends a...

    R-Day Questions

    Thanks Freda'sMom....He's one of 4 children, so we have to prioritize, this year having multiple weddings, vacations, graduations, etc. Only so many days the man lets me take off of work. We're definitely going to go to parents weekend, which is to me a higher priority. I'd like to know all...

    R-Day Questions

    Son has received and accepted an appointment to the USCGA and I haven't really been following this process probably as closely as I should have, so I have some really dumb questions, and I'll probably have a lot more. First, what is the exact process to get to R-day? He said he has a big...
