Not worried, just looking for the best option to get to the field house. I know Uber does is not the best option. The Appointee Instruction Book lists a taxi service (probably the best bet).

Hey folks, I just was notified on the 13th of March I was accepted for Direct Entry. For I-Day, I'll be flying in on June 23rd and reporting on June 24th. Since I'll be reporting alone, I'm planning on staying at one of the local hotels (Hyatt House on I-25 or Holiday Inn on Federal Drive)...

Keeley1351, which congressional district of IL?

When I went to Summer Seminar I took Front Range Shuttle from DIA to the Academy. Special Note: Front Range does not have permission to go through the gate. I arranged to be picked up from the North Gate by a cadet and then taken to the Visitor's Center where I signed in for Summer Seminar. Make...

I found an article that might help. This Airman went from enlisted TACP to becoming an F-16 Pilot. http://www.kafbnucleus.com/people/attack-controller-becomes-f--fighter-pilot/article_80ffa97a-513f-11e7-a4e9-534207007f30.html Note: He was enlisted and then applied to the Air Force Academy, got...

Yes, grammar must definitely be improved. Also try to focus on what you have done to pursue your goal of flight. The Academy loves to hear that you have dreams in aviation but they want to see how much you really want it. For example, did you attend air shows annually or go flying with pilots...

Yes take heed to this notice WARNING: LACK OF OXYGEN. I was able to attend the Air Force Academy Summer Seminar this past June. Before I went to USAFA SS I was running a mile in 6:50-7:00 at about 650 feet above sea level. When I went to SS we were given a chance to complete a practice CFA. Mile...

When you first introduce an organization make sure you put a full name first, then in parentheses the abbreviation of the organization. For example, "Civil Air Patrol (CAP)" or "National Honors Society (NHS)" Definitely get any English teacher's help on your essay. Content is important but also...

I have also received my nomination from my congressman (November 27 to be exact). However, it is taking a while for USAFA to update it.

Hello all: I have a little roadblock in my application- supplemental documentation. A little background first. I was born in South Korea and in 2000, I was adopted when I was four months old by my adopted parents, who are both American citizens. In 2002, my family moved to a different home. I...

We will be sleeping the cadet dorms that are not in use I guess. This is probably because some cadets have their summer training at different Air Force bases and are not staying at the Academy. I think it said the summer sessions were based upon the cadet academic schedule. So I guess everything...

Thanks for these suggestions, they really helped. I eventually decided to fly into Denver and found a shuttle. Once again, thank you.

For travel arrangements, for those of you flying, is anyone going into Denver then head down to the Academy or directly to Colorado Springs? I am looking at flying into Denver from Chicago, then probably taking a taxi down to the Academy. Anyone have any recommendations?

Sorry I haven't been able to get back to you sooner. I am going to Session A.

Hello! I too was accepted to USAFA Summer Seminar. I'm from Central Illinois. I'm really excited for this opportunity. My Civil Air Patrol squadron fully supports me too. I was surprised that the notifications came out sooner!

Thanks, that really helps, I was seeing a lot of articles about the military replacing manned aircraft altogether. And it was very confusing to look through.

Well, a UAS is cost-effective, and it does eliminate the human error element, but I would rather have a pilot in the sky because if a man is actually up there in the combat airspace, then he knows what is going on at all times.

Hello, can anyone please clarify what the situation is with the Air Force starting to depend more and more on UAVs rather than-manned aircraft? I am really confused about this.

Sorry Ma'am
