    Back-Up Plan?

    It might not be the leadership, but maybe how you present it? I, compared to most, don't have a lot of leadership here. Actually none. However when going up for jobs I always find a way to show my character through my experiences. Bad examples can work too. Ex: I wasn't the best at leadership...

    Is it worth it?

    Depends on your goals For 30% we thought it was worth reapplying. For 30% something here was worth doing an extra year or two. You get what you put in here. For me? Combination of free college (which influenced my sibling(s) ability to go to medical school or college at all), wanting to be a...

    USAA or Armed Forces Bank

    Yes thank you, lol. That's what I get for typing fast and not double checking to see if my phone did an autocorrect (it normally does)

    Why are academically qualified candidates receiving Falcon Foundation Scholarships?

    If it helps Almost all of the falcons I went to school with at nwp were strong academically. I was probably the "weakest" with a few B's. There's other reasons, and yes room at usafa is one of those. My father told me this saying " the military doesn't owe anyone the right to win, only the right...

    Should I buzz myself before BCT?

    I have, and can't wait to be on the other side on I-Day. Fun to watch the next class come in, more fun to be the ones doing the welcoming.

    Should I buzz myself before BCT?

    Haha save time on I-Day that's a good one haha. You won't "save time" we have you on schuedle don't worry. Everyone moves with someone so if you're not getting it cut you're waiting on the rest of the group. You'll just be getting yelled at no matter what. Hair might be the only break you get...

    Decision Day

    Do plan B, if you get a letter most colleges understand. Worst case you paid what 250 for college? Versus not having a school at all.

    USAFA Prep vs AFROTC

    I do agree seconds thoughts act as warnings. Its more, once you have decision don't regret it. I specifically calling out the life style. I knew someone who did three years of ROTC and still came here. They're no longer here. I also know quite a few ROTC who want their old life back and then...

    USAFA Prep vs AFROTC

    I recommend two pieces of advice. One talk to some who went to ROTC then came here. I have friend who did one year of ROTC and one at nwp. Two don't think of woulda coulda shoulda it won't help you here. 29 may have completely different training but it doesn't matter the training it matters the...

    ALO

    I reached out my sophomore year and while he appreciated the reach out he also recommended waiting. Most AlO's are very busy and may not have the capability to reach out. If you have questions about the process feel free to look around and welcome!

    Club Baseball

    Blue rush will be a chance for doolies to go out and see the different clubs. They'll give you more information then. Parents day weekend was normally the time people brought up gear. I'm not sure your season but Thanksgiving and winter you can bring gear back just not civilian clothing.

    Question for current USAFA cadets

    All issues the same, pc in our case no apple for 2026. It's really preference. I don't have apple because well for me it's not user friendly. You're allowed to have other electronics besides you're government issued. I recommend some kind of tablet for notes but the specifics? Up to the user...

    Club Baseball

    I had a baby squadie who made it on the team. He was pretty good for high school but I wouldn't say quite D1 level. Club are pretty welcoming especially for letting you try out for awhile even if they don't even up picking you.

    Too late to for 2028?

    I was told by my alo I should only be caring about my plan B and that it was highly unlikely for me to get accepted. Huh my "highly unlikely" situation has now lead to a school called the zoo weird. Never self eliminate. No TWE means still fighting

    Rejection and moving forward

    Thin white envelope. Rejection envelope is thin because it's contains nothing vs acceptance is thick with information.
