    BCT Shoes

    It's worth mentioning that during normal flight and squadron functions, you're required to have uniform shoes. Intramurals are a different story slightly because you can bring cleats or special shoes if you'd like. It's not really necessary because mainly ICs worry about it and most everyone...

    BCT Shoes

    Nope! You get wonderful issued shoes! Mine gave me some problems, others loved them... depends on how they work for you. They're nice to have once basic ends though. That's what I looked forward to most after basic to be honest (after connecting to the outside world of course)

    After BCT Items

    For the desktop, I wouldn't think of having one before recognition. Some of the upperclassmen in my squad have desktops, but there really is no point for desktops except for gaming (which you won't be allowed to do). It's damn near impossible to run modern games on a laptop so that's why...

    Orientation Clothes

    Clothes don't matter much at all. As long as it looks respectable, we won't judge. I personally think it kinda looks ridiculous when an appointee does the whole dressing up for this like slacks and blazers. Think along the lines of casual nice.

    Continued Excellence...

    I got really bad senioritis last year (combined with knowing i'd have to take Calc again anyways) and ended up getting an F in my Calc class. I'm definitely not proud of it and I don't advise blowing off your time and your instructor's time like I did, but it didn't have any impact on my...

    Clubs at USAFA

    I'm not sure of the time commitment for EMT, someone else in it would be better to answer that. Ski Club takes as much commitment as you want. If you have a weekend free, you can head out with them if you've joined the club and will pay for the equipment for the week. From what I understand...

    Just like you were told you wouldn't?

    Will submitting the CFA late hurt my chances?

    As long as the admissions deadline isn't passed I believe you're still good. I'm not sure when it is since I haven't really followed the admissions process this year, but as long as it's not past due, by all mens do it. If you don't submit it at all, that will hurt your chances much, much...

    Falconry

    My roommate and I will be joining you. I think it's just an informational meeting. But I've been wrong before... many times.

    Appointee Package

    There is a paper appointment that is sent through the mail. My ALO came to my High School for the Senior Assembly last year when the senior slideshow is shown and a bunch of other scholarships are presented. My ALO came and presented a very nice folder and much more decorative appointment...

    Appointee Package

    You get it after, I can't remember exactly when or how long after, but you do get it after.

    LOA

    There's no telling unless you know someone who has gotten a nom from that same Representative or Senator. I never got a phone call from my MOC about a nom. My Sen got me a letter before it showed up online, but my Rep's letter showed up after it showed the nom online. All that matters is you...

    What would be a legitimate weight to get into the air force academy?

    You can also make good friends in Basic if you get Ensure, Boost, or whatever the current contract is for protein shake type things. If you had boost and didn't want all of it... you had some people willing to do stuff for it. I'm just mad I didn't get told I needed that stuff.

    Summer Seminar Resume

    I'm not sure that it'll matter where you list the athlete scholar thing, just make sure you note it. To answer for just about any application you fill out for colleges or scholarships, as long as you're still within the character or word limit for the accomplishments section, not damn near...

    Nomination not showing up on USAFA site

    Don't sweat that the nomination hasn't been filed on the admissions server yet. Some congressmen send their nominations to the academy before they notify the applicant. In my case I found out by letter before the website from Sen. Coleman but my nomination from Rep. Oberstar was online before...

    2013 computers

    Just got an e-mail less than 2 hours ago about our computers from the MN Parent's Club President. I know it's in a post already, but I wanted to post the specs.\ BACKGROUND PAPER ON CLASS OF 2013 CADET COMPUTER ISSUE Issue Date: Monday, 3 August 2008 Specifications: •...

    For those leaving for inprocessing

    Unless I buy another bag (I might), i'm checking it. My current duffel is a little too long to meet TSA carry on requirements.

    Summer Seminar Participants

    Cool your jets, take it out of burner for a second, breathe, it will be ok... but you can wait for I-day and you will. Trust me, I was about the exact same way, don't get me wrong, i'm excited to go, but i'd love a little more time with friends and family.
