If your kid gets a FS, then it is a golden ticket unless they do something really wrong. USAFA recognized my DD's credits from MMI and in fact she was able to test out of many classes with credits going towards those. As a doolie this year, she is already taking Junior year classes this 2nd...

I know and that is what I was searching for when I found this one. Many who don't want to buy the Year in Blue documentary can see this one for free to understand what the cadets go through. I

This video gave me amazing insight into the first year at the military academies. It shows all 4 and gives information about each one and what the cadets go through their first year. I learned so many new things and why they do what they do during the first year. Also, I thought after this...

I check webguy constantly to see what is going on at BCT with my DD. I have found tons of pictures of her and I am so grateful for webguy. I am able to see her and she appears mentally and physically good and happy. It is so well worth the cost and peace of mind to see her and it is memories...

My DD went to Marion Military Institute and loved it. It offers so much, an indoor pool, an obstacle course, 18 hole golf course, besides the academics and good food.

My DD got a sense of service life by going to the recruiting office in our area in her senior year and working out with the enlisting marines. She went 3 times a week to do the grueling workout including long hikes on the weekend etc. She did everything with those enlisting. I can say they...

The academy gives out 60 Falcon Scholarships on average per year. So the ones saying Falcon Scholar are those that got those scholarships last year and have been at one of the approved prep schools during the year and got an appointment now for the AFA. My DD got a scholarship last year and is...

Marion Military Institute. All the Falcons (9) there have gotten their appointments except for one, I understand, which is sad. A couple of the self preps got their appointments too. But Lt Gen Kelley had gotten in touch with the Colonel there 3 weeks ago saying the Falcons hadn't taken...
