I think I heard that we run about 20-25 miles a week during BCT.

Agreed. I run distance track and my sneakers were broken in after a few days of running.

Remember also that if you go to a service academy this is your last “summer” so have fun too! I personally don’t see the need to take a summer class but if you want to go for it.

Typically running shoes last 400-500 miles

Do vaccinated cadets/basics still have to get tested and/or contact traced if exposed to the virus?

Yeah that's true, it's always better to have a bigger shirt than a smaller one.

It's weird because the appointee handbook says to order one size smaller if unsure, but my portal says to order one size larger if unsure...

I don’t think so because I checked the appointee booklet from class of 2023 and 2024 and it said to get waterproof boots as well. I think that some of the people with these posts are from class of 24 and 23 and non waterproof boots worked out for them, but honestly it does get me a little worried.

Thank you so much for everyone’s advice!

Are we allowed to have non waterproof boots for basic? I’ve seen so much advice that says to get a pair of boots that are not waterproof but the handbook says to get waterproof ones.

Thanks for the info! I wasn’t aware that cadets could start new clubs.

@USAFA10s I’m a competitive tennis player in my state (not good anough to play D1 at USAFA) but I was hoping to play club. Do you know if there is a club team at USAFA that does the college USTA league or any sort of inter college competition?

Congrats! I’m glad that it worked out for you

Ok, thanks so much for the response I really appreciate it.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what does ROM entail? Is it staying in your room 24/7, or just extra precautions for Covid?

I did not submit the SAT Essay and received an appointment.

This is going to sound really nerdy but I have an Nspire and love it, it’s way better than the 84 in my opinion.

I don’t think anyone knows for sure, but honestly I really doubt that they’ll have it in person.

For me, the dates my application was reviewed did not update before I got my appointment.
