The Thailand opportunity definitely does not go away once getting to the academy. There are so many great opportunities to go abroad here to Thailand, mainland China, and other places like Singapore. These opportunities can vary from a week of humanitarian relief to an entire semester at a...

I’m a current Doolie who gets plenty of sleep at night. The school days have a lot of free time in between classes and it’s really important that you seize those opportunities to get work done. It’s the cadets who smoke and joke a lot when they should be working that end up staying up past...

Then I proudly announce that I am in Guts squadron and bid you good luck;)

I ordered a pair of Danner's that came in the mail today. They have the Danner logo on the side, is that okay for USAFA regulations?

In my experience, the email to check my portal was to notify of an appointment. Last year when I was denied, the email actually stated, "We regret to inform you..." and I did not have to go to my portal. This year, it just notified me of a status change but that might be something new for this year.

This happened to most on the morning of the first wave, I had the wait 15-20 minutes before I could access it. Super agonizing:biggrin:

I think I can speak to this as I was a reapplicant this year. First off, I'd like to start off with the fact that my whole life, I'd dreamed of being a pilot, and when I was a freshman in college, I decided to apply to the AFA. I did fairly well in high school with great grades and had earned...

I'm a reapplicant so hopefully this helps some. Rejected with 28M 25S 30E 29R Accepted with 33M 31S 35E 36R Good luck to those who reapply. Target your weaknesses, strengthen them, and be relentless in the chase for your dreams.

For the MiCare registration, it says to put 80840 as the zip code. What would I put for the street address on the registration page?

You're fine. The academy looks at the whole candidate score and you have a very strong application in the other aspects. Very similar to my application but with only nominations from Simpson, Risch, and a senior AFROTC nom. Hang in there!

Hang in there. If your MOC notifies you via phone call you may still be CPR for up to a week after appointment. Patience is the key and know that we're all rooting for you!

Thanks for all the advice. I was able to bring up my science score to a 31 and improve the English to a 35. Now I join the waiting game alongside everyone else.

I thought that I'd drop in and share my two-cents. I am also an applicant from Idaho so I know the limitations of curriculum. My high school offered very little AP courses. However, I have spoken to my ALO and he says that the admission panel isn't going to dock you if you haven't taken courses...

I've also had this problem, both this year and and last year. The supplemental documentation simply refers to your end of term college grades. Contact your college registrar and make arrangements for them to send your transcript to USAFA as soon as final grades are posted. Other than that...

Thanks for all the great advice. To respond to cisco_kun, I only started the ROTC program at the beginning of my sophomore year when I transferred here for the Air Force opportunity. After talking to the detachment commander and my major adviser, they set me up as a "freshman cadet" although I...

I am on a 5-year ME plan so I was average about 14 credits per semester. Now that I have started ROTC, it is moving closer to 15-16. The majority of classes are 3 credits with the exception of some math courses being 4 credits.

Hey everyone, I am a reapplicant to USAFA and I wanted to see what parts of my application I should focus on to improve the likelihood of earning an appointment. I graduated high school as salutatorian with a 3.97 gpa, no AP classes but a few were offered. However, I was in the advanced math...
