Well, I've heard of a lot of people studying for it in recent times and multiple upperclassmen have told me that it counts towards some kind of point system or something for being a pilot. It pools together with all the other things you do like flight hours and so on. All it is really for is for...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for the best AFOQT study guide book that covers avionics in good detail because everything I seem to find on Amazon either has bad reviews or a ton of good reviews but it is said to lack pretty much all aviation info. Thanks!

Hi, current USAFA cadet and I was having trouble finding a study guide for the AFOQT. About to start 3 deg year and I am taking the test this summer. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for the best AFOQT study guide book that covers avionics in good detail because everything I...

Thank you I appreciate it. I actually decided to accept USAFA about February so I’m excited.

Thank you very much! As for the nom, I got a call from my Congressman who had been in DC at the time and said that they had planned to offer me the next day. So I naturally thought it must be a congressional nom. Aloha!

This is an absolutely perfect breakdown. Thank you!

Literally in the same exact boat as you. You're welcome for posting the thread and hopefully it will help you make your decision as it helped me. Good luck!

Yes I have chosen but thank you for the link. I wish you luck in your decision also!

Sorry for the late response. I'm glad to hear your DS is thinking about following the same path and that he will be attending also. My father is retired Air Force.

I really appreciate your information. Your experience in this really helps answer LOTS of my questions. Thank you.

You're right in that I want to challenge myself. As for the future, personally, being a commercial pilot has always been in mind (that is if piloting works out in the first place). I really want good duty stations too. I've lived throughout the world as a military brat and I love traveling and...

Yes it was quite a while ago. So now you see I’ve had quite the time to learn about the amazing opportunities at West Point and it’s been enough to tear me between the two when I wasn’t previously.

Yes I realize that haha. I could just see myself doing both. I’m quite the outdoorsy type. But I realize that ultimately my decision will be based on sheer amount of career opportunities that interest me. I started a list earlier and realized that if I weren’t to get my #1 or #2, I’d still be ok...

Aeronautical engineer

I received AF yesterday and army Oct 7. I am not recruited as an athlete but I do track and football.

First of all, thank you to everyone on this thread. Your thoughts and advice are just great. Also you’re all right, both academies will be plenty fun and plenty hard. From this quote above, you hit the nail on the head in regards to my branch ideas. Air Force Pilot is #1, then comes STO and TacP...

I appreciate the advice very much. My only problem with visiting both is that I live in HI and, as you know, it is so very expensive to visit, especially coming from here. I realize that it is my choice and this is just going to be a tough one no matter what I learn.

Thank you for the information. I would love to hear from an experienced infantry officer and pick his brain a bit.
