Good afternoon, Many of you have seen my posts beforehand and previously thought I have decided to stay, however, life has hit me with a hammer and I need your advice and or help. My grandmother, who has acted as my mother throughout my life, has just been diagnosed with Stage III Uterine...

Well, recognition has passed. It's quite honestly the biggest flurry of emotions I've ever had in my life. They were the toughest three days I've ever faced in my life, without a doubt, and receiving those prop and wings while walking down the hall made me feel as if I had just walked over the...

I am finishing the remainder of doolie year following the recommendation of most. I still feel the same to a different extent, but I'm glad I ended up duking it out until now. We'll see where I stand after recognition and approaching the end of the year.

I did not leave. I decided to stick it out the rest of the year and see if I felt the same. We'll see how it goes, I plan to make a post, post recognition.

Yes I was my high school's student representative for two years. I led protests at my school and was connected to my senator's office. I'm not quite sure what your advice entails then. Is experience not the greatest aspect that one can have towards a career goal? What is more valuable in your...

I was told USAFA was my best option by everyone around me so I thought I would give it my all and see if I would fall in love with it; quite the opposite has happened. Parent's don't exist in my life. I'm not making excuses for my low GPA, I just don't think this place is where I'm going to...

Good afternoon, after a long time of deliberation since the day I got on the plane for BCT I am pretty sure that USAFA is not for me. i wasn't going to quit during BCT simply because I would look like and feel like a fool. I wasn't going to drop during the first month because it wouldn't be...

I understand there are Blue and Silver weekends; if there is a blue weekend and I wish to leave the academy from Friday night until Sunday afternoon (returning before 7pm) will I be able to do so given that I apply and ask for the paperwork as soon as I possibly can and attempt to remain in good...

For most cadets, what should that thought of why I wanted to come here be? When is it not worth it anymore? How does one determine if it's not worth it anymore?

Thank you

You start as a 2nd Lieutenant but after that are promotions simply based on time in the air force? Are there other factors that contribute to promotions?

I will be entering with the class of 2022 and report in on June 28th. I understand BCT and the strenuous school year that is to come, but if there are weekends on occasion that I would like to plan in advance to leave the campus for the weekend (Fri-Sun) how would I go about doing that? What is...

My vision prescription is as follows D.V. OD SPH : -.75 CYL : -.50 AXIS: 110 OS SPH : -.75 CYL : -.50 AXIS 090 P.D. 66MM I have no clue what my 20/_____ vision is but my ALO is telling me that glasses are acceptable for UPT and that my vision should not affect my chances of UPT. I...

You're completely right. One day at a time and enjoy everything alone the way. I'm going to do so at the Academy. I can't go in with an attitude that I'm going to transfer, but I leave my mind open to the opportunity to learn and develop differently than I previously have. I believe attending...

I agree with you, I am very narrow minded and focused on self growth. That is why I applied to the Academy, I want to learn about things that I have previously not been exposed to. It would be a learning experience. I'm tired of hearing people say that you have to LOVE the idea of the academy...

That is why I believe the USAFA might be the best option. It will allow me to learn about myself and try something completely different from the situation that I'm used to.

Sorry what does DS stand for? Also what is a TWE? Is your son one that got accepted to the USAFA?

I will definitely do so. That was really helpful, I will probably be messaging you within a few days!

A confused 17 year old who can't be expected to know what is the right decision for the rest of my life.

Yes. I totally took my time at two in the morning to write paragraphs asking for help all to.....be a troll. Seriously.....? I'm asking a question that I really don't know the answer to.
