    Running Shoes

    I just bought a pair of Asics Gel-Cumulus 10s a few weeks ago and they're working great. I almost went with the New Balance 1063...also a good shoe, more cushioned but more expensive. I'm planning on having my parents send me my shoes after Basic if that's allowed. I might run XC...

    Orientation 2013

    I'm flying in on Friday (spring break for me) so I can make any time on Sunday evening for Red Robin. I'm pretty sure it's open on Easter. I've updated my slot below to include availability; if everyone who wants to go to RR could do the same, that would make it easier to agree on a meeting...

    Drum & Bugle Corps

    Thanks so much for the info, missmuff. I will definitely look into that. Do you happen to know if auditions for orchestra are around the same time as auditions for D&B? orchestra or D&B??

    Drum & Bugle Corps

    Haha thanks. I did see that sheet, but it didn't give too many details as to what the experience is like. I do plan on calling the D&B, though, and I'm going to try to find some D&B cadets at Orientation. Hey, now that sounds like fun! Do you know what the orchestra schedule is like? Or...

    Validation - Dual Enrollment

    If you validate freshman English, do you not have an English course that year and just wait until 3dig year to take lit? Would that translate into a free period 4dig year or just a different academic class? I'm trying to decide whether it's worth taking the English AP test and hoping for a 5...

    Drum & Bugle Corps

    Yeah, I've heard that it really puts a strain on academics. I love music, but I don't want to sacrifice my grades.

    Validation - Dual Enrollment

    I just called the math and physics depts, and my understanding now is that a solid score on any placement exam during BCT is enough to validate a course (i.e. Calc I, Phys 110/215, etc). A 5 on the AP test is more like a feather in your cap - it helps reassure USAFA that you're proficient...

    Validation - Dual Enrollment

    I just reread the 'academic preparation' section in the appointee instructions packet, and it basically says USAFA will consider AP scores (AB, BC, or Stats) but that the placement exams are the "primary basis for initial math placement." Hornetguy, I sense that you are right...even if things...

    Drum & Bugle Corps

    As you all might guess from my username, I play the trumpet and have been heavily involved in music throughout my childhood (especially in high school). I am interested in joining the Drum & Bugle Corps, but I know very little about it. For all the wealth of info on the Internet, I've only...

    Validation - Dual Enrollment

    Unless I am reading this wrong or there's a typo... the chart on the above-mentioned site specifies the AP BC exam. Does this mean that a 4/5 on the AP Calc AB exam will not be considered? Or is it even necessary to take the AP test if we can validate Calc I with a good score on the placement...

    when can i expect appointment kit?

    Thanks a lot! I haven't been able to find much info on the D&B online - just a few Youtube clips and a fact sheet on the AFA webpage. It looks like a lot of fun. I'll start a new thread for D&B soon.

    me too. Is anyone else interested in joining the Drum and Bugle Corps? There's an application in the instructions packet.

    I'm with you, aa2013. And the excitement and anticipation will only increase over the next four months! btown13, I went back and read your post on page 3 of this thread. Congrats on receiving Sen. Obama's nom - I know firsthand that the senatorial nominations are very competitive...

    2013 Appointments

    Correction...sorry...The letter I received from Sen. Obama said that I didn't receive his nomination. I believe he still was giving out nominations, though.

    2013 Appointments

    I got my appt before the congressional committees met, but I later received a letter from Obama saying that since he resigned his post in the Senate, he wouldn't be giving out nominations. The principal nom in my district went to someone else. I got in on a pres. nom, since my dad's active...

    2013 Appointments

    I believe it's a mixture of candidates with/without LOA's. I sent in my completed application back in the fall and received an offer of appt soon thereafter, but never got an LOA. I actually had a Presidential nomination but no congressional nom. Most of those who receive LOA's are just...
