    Should I buzz myself before BCT?

    1000% NO Enjoy the experience it will be about the only time that day no one is yelling at or demanding anything of you except to sit somewhat still and give a small smile to the camera for your family.

    Airframe

    My son chose to not even apply to ENJJPT because he was told the casual status would be upwards of two years. He chose to go regular UPT route and is in Texas doing his thing now. Keep in mind your 10 year commitment starts when you graduate UPT not when you graduate USAFA so it does make a...

    Terrified of getting kicked out due to PEA

    USAFA is hard and isn’t for everyone that is why they give you two years to figure out if it AND the real Air Force is for you. Take a deep breath and make sure this is what you really want. Talk it over with your friends and maybe your AOC. If you come to the conclusion that it is then continue...

    Airframe

    I would venture it is 85% go heavy/cargo and 15% go fighter/bomber. I will also say best chance for fighter/bomber is selected to ENJJPT program but still not a 100% guarantee.

    Anyone seen this documentary?

    Definitely outdated on a number of things but overall the concept is the same. We watched it years ago when our son received his appointment and served it’s purpose of a simple glimpse into what he was walking into.

    Okay, so what's going on with the cadet chapel AKA The Cube?

    Ok so the AOG should provide it. There’s still plenty of time.

    Summer seminar cost

    Add in your cost of a shuttle from Denver to Colorado Springs and your time and I bet it’s close to the same price of the ticket into Springs.

    Okay, so what's going on with the cadet chapel AKA The Cube?

    I said when they covered it up it should have a wrap or paint that looked exactly like the Chapel if you saw it from a distance. Especially since they said it was gonna be 4 years which is now looking like 8 years. The football stadium renovation will be done way sooner and started way later.

    Last Name Question

    Current State of the Academy

    So General Moga leaves and the new commander comes in and makes his personal touch of permanent party the center of attention? Cancel 2 days of physical and mental fitness and they still get recognized? Recognition should have been pushed back until after spring break because of the weather...

    Best place to stay?

    I almost always stayed at The Drury on Interquest Drive. It is only a couple exits from North Gate and has tons of restaurants within walking distance or very short car rides. It also has free breakfast every morning and free happy hour every night that you could actually use as dinner. If you...

    Mistake on PCQ

    Note to self for your future filings. Get the correct answer before you fill something out. Don’t guess and more importantly than that don’t freaking lie.

    Gone too soon

    Makes me sick and sad. I feel for both these families and hope they can find ways to cope.

    Having a hard time deciding between USAFA, USMA, and USNA

    What I don’t understand is you not once said what job you’d like to do for the military or after time served. How do you not spell out your intentions like pilot, diesel mechanic, chef, etc. I mean, tell us what you’d like to do.

    USAFAPS vs. Full Ride Scholarship

    Not how it works at all. He may be a pilot but most definitely not an AF pilot. He may walk into a guard unit but there are highly capable AF pilots applying for those jobs as well and those also hire on how you fit in the squadron more than anything. Also let’s say he gets hired somewhere he...

    USAFA Grad Crowned Miss America

    In typical news fashion they don’t do their due diligence and just hear something and run with it as fact. Technically she is a pilot since she holds aPL but she is definitely not an Air Force Pilot by certainty not a fighter pilot. They saw here incentive ride and thought here’s the proof. I...

    Visits and Plans B, C

    It’s the military. I learned very early on his doolie year all plane tickets will be booked one way on southwest and all other airlines as refundable

    Visits and Plans B, C

    Stay at the Drury just south of North Gate. Lots of restaurants there and very quick to get to The Academy. They also have free breakfast ever day and happy hour for a couple drinks and appetizers, actually can make it your dinner every night if you choose. Ask for a room facing south and you...
