Supposedly the issue is they have plenty of OCPs for us, they just don't have enough cold-weather gear for everyone so they need to wait until spring when we won't need it as much

Kind of a specific question: I get a lot of bloody noses and I'm wondering what would be the right (least wrong, I guess) way to handle that if I was at attention for instance.

Cobras at 8:10 for me

Just a PSA for appointees like me that are not yet 18: if you are appointed to an SA and are within 45 days of your 18th birthday you can set up a USAA checking account for your cadet pay. Just be prepared to spend a couple hours on the phone with USAA convincing them to look for that rule, of...

Awesome, thank you so much! I really don't want a lovely pair of broken-in boots confiscated on I-Day!

Since there isn't a very active boot thread, I'll post this here: I'm looking at Danner Tachyons, but I am not sure if they are compliant as they are not completely waterproof (but I know the Nikes many cadets wear are not either). I know I will probably only wear them for first beast and the...

26th here!

Yep, this is due to the altitude at USAFA. You'll feel it as soon as you get there.

Just speculation, but perhaps travel orders from USAFA will waive the age requirement. I know most car rental companies will rent to someone younger than their age requirement if they have valid travel orders.

Will a temporary permit count as a valid photo ID? I'm in the same boat, temps no license.

The academy hotel is pretty nice if you can get a room. Free breakfast, pool, etc for a reasonable price. Right near the south gate entrance, too.

My plan B is a type 1 AFROTC scholarship to Ohio State for Aero Engineering.

Got my email this afternoon! Thank you for the heads up!

I saw that the '22ers last year were able to sign up for appointee tours as early as February, but I haven't seen any information regarding them this year. Anyone have the scoop as to when/how those will become available (if they are available)?

Many, many schools in my area, including mine, only allow a student to take AP Physics after a year of Honors Physics.

Somewhere saw a number/email for questions on boots. I think I'm going to ask just to make sure before I go buy a pair.

And it specifies ABU boots! No OCPS for 2023 yet!

Basically what AF22SIS said for the first 2 days. The 2nd day you tour the airfield. The 3rd day was focused around athletics, touring the athletic centers and playing some different intramurals at night. The last full day is dedicated to academics. All throughout you'll be having different...
