@Pima It's been quite a (non-linear) ride for me haha. I passed Field Training and I won't be commissioning until 2022 and I know that I have time before my rated package has to be ready. At the same time, I would like to do as much as I can now to set myself up for success later if that means...

I got a 95 on the pilot section of the AFOQT and recently took the TBAS for the first time. My PCSM with no flight hours is 48 and I'm planning on getting at least 20~ flight hours (that would bump me to a 65). My friend who also scored a 95 on the AFOQT pilot section has a PCSM of 60 without...

You look good on paper and I know you probably want someone to say that you're a shoe-in but IMHO it doesn't matter how good you look on paper and it doesn't matter what anyone on here says because you still have to apply and get a nomination and be med qualified and interview and go through the...

upward trends in grades are better than downward trends in grades. The only way to find out is to apply and give it your best!

With a few weeks still left before C/O 22 starts BCT, I was wondering if anyone has advice/an opinion on the pros and cons of coming into USAFA with a bit of flight training under someone's belt. Whether it is coming in with a PPL, sports license, or just a few flight hours to build a better...

Just try your best on the placement exam and don't cheat on it (use the standards and rules they set) and they will place you in the class they think is right for you. That is what the placement test is for.

Does that mean that being on WOB or being a soaring IP does affect chances of getting a pilot slot? I'm guessing it would help chances?

PM me when you can and I can add you to the chat

I'm appointed to the class of 22 and there is not too long before the new class gets to I day. After looking at what opportunities I might want to take advantage of at USAFA, I think I want to try to become a soaring IP. I understand there are a few hard reqs. (Taking basic soaring during 3rd...

Like a test as part of the admissions process to the academy? or a test for cadets trying to get a rated slot for their postgrad career?

It also won't let me start a private conversation with you currently and I agree with Hoodlum15. It would be best to hold on til we can have a private message. Also, we have been trying to verify all members before they get into the group chat but multiple people have given reminders to keep...

There is a group chat and it's pretty busy, I'm pretty sure you need to prove acceptance to get into the chat so PM me if interested

I am in AFROTC this year at a state school and reapplied to USAFA and got accepted. The big things to keep in mind if you want to apply again next year and be competitive are: 1) Good GPA in college (especially in math, science, engineering courses) shows that you can handle a college workload...

I think you've definitely got a shot! Your stats look good on paper but there is more to it than that. You have to do well at interviews and in essays and fitness tests and a big thing that people don't always like thinking about is... you need a little bit of luck for it to happen. You have to...

I was a bit in the same boat because I did a year of AFROTC at a civilian school and applied to USAFA. I had a pretty good HS GPA (3.6 UW/4.0 W) and good test scores but college is a different animal. I did aerospace engineering and got a 4.0 my first semester in college because I knew my grades...

I guess I'm just a bit hesitant because it's a lot of weight training and there isn't a gym in BCT. I've heard other opinions about sticking to just running and bodyweight exercises to help prepare for the bodyweight PT at BCT. Does anyone want to comment on that?

Does anyone have an opinion on how good this program actually is for getting in shape and preparing for BCT?

you could probably get a waiver for that, the DoDMERB examination goes over any possible medical/health concerns that can be waived by a doctor. I smoked weed once and I reported that on my DoDMERB and the doctor just looked over my form and waived it. Academies don't want to drive off every...
