I was just reading the schedule and I noticed that there is a full week between the end of BCT and A-day, and then another 2 days after than until classes begin. Just curious- what happens during that time?

Hello! I'm aware that once BCT is over you are allowed to have personal items. I've heard you can have them shipped to you and also that it might not be a bad idea to have your parents just bring you stuff during Parent's Weekend. In terms of academic things, personal things, or quality of...

I did Marching Band in all 4 years of HS; I am considering doing D&B at USAFA. (I am '25) I enjoyed band, but I don't know if I liked it that much. I understand that I would get to go to the away games (army and navy this coming year) and that it gives a lot of other cool opportunities, but I...

I am sure that this has come up in a thread somewhere before, but I can't seem to find it. I have an LOA from this fall, and I also just received a nom a few days ago. Is there anything else I need to do in order to actually get an appointment? I am also DoDMERB approved. The nom and everything...

If I post a political opinion to a public account such as Instagram, in the age where things can go viral, can that affect my chances of acceptance? I would delete this post upon acceptance. It is about police brutality, which isn’t really a “political” issue, as no one is for police violence...
