    DS just got word from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Prescott that they are extending spring break (which was this week) by another week and, upon return, going essentially 100% virtual. ROTC students will essentially be responsible for keeping up with their own PT which, for those...

    USAFA/AFROTC Class of 2021...Where are you now?

    Wasn't sure which forum to choose for this, since it crosses over more than one. Just went with this one. I was just curious, since I haven't posted anything since 2017... Of the group who were gunning for either USAFA or AFROTC for the class of 2021, where did you end up (if you are still...

    College Credit with AROTC

    DS received an offer for a Type 1 HS AFROTC scholarship, so I can only speak from that perspective, but I can share our experience. We just got back from visiting the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University campus. DS will have 33 hrs of dual credit college courses by HS grad (May). ERAU agreed to...

    USAFA Application Portal Is Now Open for the Class of 2021

    Update on DS's DodMERB hold (for anyone curious)...Turns out that the hold was due to sloppily submitted forms on the part of the medical staff who conducted the physical and nothing more (at this point). When contacted, DodMET carefully and meticulously went over every spot on the form that...

    USAFA Application Portal Is Now Open for the Class of 2021

    DS has now completed all parts of his application. However, his DoDMERB shows a "Complete Hold" status, which was explained as meaning that Concorde is working with the examiners to obtain additional information. I don't know if this is a minor, temporary "hiccup" or if this means we may be...

    Need some prayers for DS in Class of 2020

    Daretodream...We are praying for your DS. That must be very worrisome, since there's only so much (practically nothing) you can do to help or intervene. I really feel confident, though, that, if your son was healthy enough to get where he is, this may just be a fleeting concern. Best wishes!!

    USAFA Application Portal Is Now Open for the Class of 2021

    Hi there! We are also in the thick of things with DS as well. His application packet is almost complete, except for the HS/college transcripts & school profile (school counselor assures they are "on the way"). He completed his CFA this morning, and did very well, and his DoDMERB is scheduled...

    Nominations

    Thank you so much, Daretodream! Yes, I agree about the "nerve wrecking"! Ever since DS and I returned from Summer Seminar, it has been a whirlwind of activity! DS just completed his CFA, this morning, and did fantastic (maxed out on two events and was well above average on all but the basketball...

    Nominations

    Our DS did the same, and it has made a real difference in the "approachability" of our ALO. He also did the same, beginning at age 12, with our MOC; first, by attending the MOC's Academy Forums, and subsequently building a relationship with the MOC and his academy staff person, over the years...

    Life in Active Duty (ask a Captain anything)

    USAFA10s, no apology necessary for the delay...As you can see, I also kind of dropped the ball on responding to your reply! :-) We have been so busy with the application process, since DS got back from Summer Seminar, I've scarcely had time to breathe! Speaking of Summer Seminar, I have to say...
