    I-Day Packing

    We are trying to get the underwear off of the to do list and I need to ask are you getting the compression shorts in addition to the underwear or instead of the underwear? My DS would prefer the compression shorts. We just don't want him to show up with just compression shorts and have them...

    Your son/daughter goes where???

    That is a shame. After everything your DD has worked for and now achieved, she deserves a little recognition. I think it can inspire more high performing kids to think about the SA's as an alternative. We are fortunate that DS's administration gets it. They are thrilled with his appointment...

    I-Day Questions

    As we start our planning for I-day for our DS, we are looking for a little perspective on a couple of things: 1. We are likely going to be headed to Colorado a few days early to allow for some altitude acclimation. We are considering bringing the whole family as a mini-vacation, but we are...

    Female Cadet Percentage

    I can tell you that a coach my DS met with about a month ago told us that they were trying to get the percentage of female cadets aligned with the percentage in the Air Force in total. He thought that percentage was closer to 33%. Obviously this is unofficial, but that was his perspective for...
