I would do exactly what the directions tell you to do otherwise you might get some attention. But, what you will need is just the pages that apply to you. They are going to have you sit down and enter the data in a computer. They want you to have it already filled out so all you have to do is...

I believe they get a 5 minute phone call at the end of I-Day, but nothing until Doolie Day out.

It is important to think about what they are looking for in an essay. You want to go to the Air Force Academy and you want to maximize your chances of getting in. So, naturally, you want to write an essay that resonates with them. I think the best approach is to consider their core values...

A retired Air Force Colonel told me that outside of USAFA, generally only enlisted get jump qualified and get to wear the jump wings. He said one of the longer-term benefits of doing jump at USAFA is that once you commission, everyone will know you want to the Academy because you will be an...

I believe a DODMERB portal specified the next steps after receiving the DQ for both USAFA and AFROTC. There is a form to complete and submit and potentially another evaluation from a physician. But, I believe the DQ is issued by DODMERB. So, if he is DQ'd for USAFA, he will be DQ'd for AFROTC...

You can get a waiver if you are DQ'd. My son attends college on a Type 1 AFROTC scholarship and my daughter is at USAFA. Both were DQ'd for similar, but different reasons (knee) and both received waivers. The USAFA waiver seemed much easier to obtain.

My daughter, USAFA Class of 2026, went through the admissions process last year. A few weeks after she submitted all her paperwork, she blew out her ACL and tore her meniscus. She had surgery on 7DEC2022. She submitted her update to DODMERB and they cleared her. She had to report on...

Out daughter is Class of 2026 at USAFA so we just went through I-Day last June. My wife and I both traveled with her out to Colorado Springs a few days early to explore the area and help her get acclimated to the altitude. On I-Day, her drop-off time was early, around 7:30 am and the drop-off...

I would still apply. If USAFA decides they want you, I think they have ways to help you get a nom.

Does anyone know if the USAFA really cares if they bring cotton underwear? My daughter would rather wear something more sports-performance type underwear. Cotton actually sounds terrible to me. But the Appointee Handbook clearly states cotton underwear and sports bra. Any guidance on this...

My daughter just got an acceptance. We found out from the portal and have not received a call yet.
