I've been collecting threads for future reference by selecting"Watch Thread". Today I wanted to check on one of them and found that my list of "Watched threads" had only one item in it? Is there some type of rule which would cause the items to fall of the list due to inactivity, age, etc...

Are there any parents/cadets on the forum with first hand knowledge of USAFA cadet having surgery for broken bone injuries? In DS's case collar bone requiring metal plates and screws? (1) I'm assuming/hoping quality of medical wing surgeons is top notch. Are they? (2) Any ability for second...

For parents who are accompanying your appointee to I Day, I would strongly recommend bringing binoculars and a digital camera with a powerful telephoto lens. I really wished I had rented more powerful binoculars and digital camera with a high power telephoto lens. I tried renting one while we...

I believe the forum search capability is broken. Given that a popular response to posts is to "use search", repairing this should be a priority. I noticed this when I was trying to do a search limiting the search to "Search titles only" and it was displaying results where the search term was...

We are living temporarily in another country. My DS raised this with his ALO while completing applications and the ALO recommended using current actual address rather than our home address when he filled out his applications. The ALO maintained that you do not know what your parents will be...

Now that our DS has received his appointment letter to the USAFA, I have some questions relating to the USAFA Parent Clubs/Associations listed here: http://www.usafa.af.mil/Leadership/CadetDevelopment/ParentsClub.aspx We will be living in England while DS is at the Academy and we are...

I've been trying to find a definitive list of the vaccines which are needed before I-day. So as to avoid too many shots needing to be administered at that time. However, I have not been able to find anything on USAFA website. I have found a form at usafa.edu for the prep school. Could we rely on...
