Same here. I'm just worried, as I'm trying to get all my ducks in a row (USFAFA and the scholarship) and I'm still having to hold off on that.

Same here. I was really looking forward to these results.

Also, while Nike is a big brand and all, don't just turn to them for running. The shoes I have now are Asics, and they work amazingly. They're super comfortable, durable, and lightweight. Saucony and Brooks are also great brands, as well.

I really think you should consider what @CrabbittMom said and go to a shoe store that does a foot analysis. Fleet Feet, Footworks, and Custom Footworks are all great stores that use tech to analyze your gait, where you put the most pressure, etc. These may get a bit expensive (this was actually...

Hi everyone. As I'm preparing for my Plan B (Texas A&M), I just wanted to check in about one thing as I'm getting ready. I have two friends who are currently in the Corps, and they've told me how much Campusology and other things about both A&M/The Corps and the military they have had to learn...

Do y'all know what days the portal usually releases appointments or other updates? I've heard Tuesday and Wednesday, but I just wanna be sure.

Hi everyone, just wanted to check in here real quick about something. I emailed my Congressman's office about a month ago asking if I was the principal nomination, and they emailed me back saying that they were not allowed to release that information. However, I have spoken to other people who...

@Peter2025 has it right. There is a separate ROTC forum that is really helpful with this kind of thing too! I've gotten a lot of great ROTC advice on there. https://www.serviceacademyforums.com/index.php?forums/rotc.27/

I'm still waiting on any news, as my portal hasn't updated since October.

Hi everyone. I just wanted to check in about the Falcon Visitation Experience that I was invited to here in late October. My ALO was not entirely sure if this means that it boosts my chance of getting into the Academy. She was leaning no and told me not to worry all too much about it, but I...

I attended FVE too! Just wanted to ask how we were chosen for that and if they looked at our file?

Thank you so much! This has been so helpful. Best of luck to y'all!

Hi everyone. I just wanted to check in about the AFROTC Scholarship. As Texas A&M is my Plan B, I applied for this scholarship, and the board is meeting towards the end of this month. In the event that I do get a scholarship before I get an appointment, would there be any way that I could...

This is the one thing that I'm going to stay wary of. I'm only planning to play video games and am never going to reveal that I am in ROTC, if anything would probably only talk about my major.

Hi everyone. I just wanted to check in and ask if it would be a wise idea to Twitch stream while in ROTC (not after being comissioned, as I will then be in the Air Force and will have a stable career/ also not have any time.) I am deciding to update my PC with better hardware and other...

I have all of my socials on private and don't use my real name (except for Facebook, which I use just to interact with the older people in my family). I definitely try to avoid politics at all costs though.

I think she did submit them. They're very good. She says she took it back in September, so I'm assuming she may have.

Thank you! This is truly what I want to do in life but I'm afraid of something that I can't control get in my way.

Hi! I hope I'm not thinking too far ahead about this, but I looked at the USAF pilot height requirements and it shows that I have to at least be 5'4. I am at 5'1 and was wondering if this would be a deal breaker, or if this could be something that would have a chance at being waivered. Thank you!

To be competitive for a pilot slot in ROTC, what majors would be best? I am aware that technical majors are definitely more desired for AFROTC. I currently was accepted to TAMU on a Computer Science scholarship, but would something such as Aeronautical Engineering look better? It's something...
