    CFA

    Also... Core...core... And more core! A strong core and you will improve with the BB throw, the sit-ups, the shuttle and the mile. Sounds like on pull ups you may be pulling a lot of weight? What is your height and weight ?

    Life in Active Duty (ask a Captain anything)

    From a retired Chief's perspective with a son in the Air National Guard, and my best friend (also a retired Chief) who has an AD AF son, it is important the Academy continues to succeed on putting out good officers. I have a DS who is attending Summer Seminar and is wrestling with the decision...

    Summer Seminar Parent's Dinner

    I got it two different times. Most of it is about security and access to the academy and different areas. They did talk about paying for the dinner. The first email stated credit card, check, or cash. The second email says credit card only (no AMEX and no debit cards). PM me if you need...

    Anyone Going Out for the AFA Summer Seminar June 12?

    Thanks JLamb4. As a former CE troop - yeah - they always kept us located away from the general population. :-) But when the lights went out, you're too hot or cold, or there is a leak - we were there to serve!

    HaleyM - will they do a fair amount of walking where they would need a good pair of walking shoes with their khakis versus a pair of top-sider type shoes?

    Anyone Going Out for the AFA Summer Seminar June 12?

    Well...I actually used it wrong - used it singularly "y'all" as it should have been plural - "all y'all" but I'll still hold on my Southern Card. My son ref'ed at a LAX tournament on Saturday this past weekend and after four games of running up and down the field he whined about his legs. So...

    Anyone Going Out for the AFA Summer Seminar June 12?

    We came up with a saying for our lacrosse players this year: "snowflakes" as most parents think their little "snowflake" is one of a kind and different from the rest :angel: My snowflake thinks he "has this" regarding .... I keep telling him just wait...can't wait for him to start running at...

    Anyone Going Out for the AFA Summer Seminar June 12?

    Padre, We were told the CFA at the Academy during Summer Seminar can count as his first official. Can I ask where you are getting your information from?

    Anyone Going Out for the AFA Summer Seminar June 12?

    Rural - I'm just wondering how he will do with his run. He can crank out 5:45 to 5:55 miles in our nice hot and humid Georgia...and 6:00 miles with some of our hills. Hoping he does as well during CFA - told him to find a rabbit for pace. Picked up some "conservative" sunglasses and just need...

    Anyone Going Out for the AFA Summer Seminar June 12?

    We are flying out on Friday for DS to get a little acclimated to the higher altitude. Anyone else going out early? Any folks from previous years have any advice to help students going out this week. My biggest challenge right now is trying to convince my son what "conservative sunglasses"...

    Can I take the CFA before my questionnaire is updated?

    Congrats on those who made it! Thanks so much for all the replies. I'm a retired Chief so of course I told him his goals were to max everything. :-) 5Day - thanks for the link - I had those, just wanted to see what was actually getting selected, but I do appreciate the link. Joos - being a...

    Can I take the CFA before my questionnaire is updated?

    My DS was selected to 2016 Summer Seminar. His application for SS was transferred over as the beginning of his application for the AFA. We received a letter from the Admissions office stating he "has potential" and they will send additional instructions in July. As he is in his spring sport...
