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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

How competitive would it be to be stationed as a first choice in a European, specifically one of the two British Air Force Bases, as a Pilot?

Hi everyone! I am stuck in between career choices as an officer in the USAF. I am between looking at being a pilot and being a JAG, which I understand a very different career fields, but both interest me. I will be going on my first flight lesson here tomorrow, and have been learning the basics...

I'm not sure if this seems like a silly question or if I am thinking a bit too far ahead, but I just wanted to ask as I am trying to prepare myself to be the best officer I can be. My last name is one often mispronounced. In an environment such as an SA or a strict ROTC program such as Texas...

I am from a competitive state (TX) but from a district in which next to no one applies to the service academies. Will this boost my chances of admission, or are admissions determined on just a quota from each state without regard to the districts?

Hi everyone! This is my first time posting here in this forum, as my first choice is USAFA. However, in the case that I am not appointed, I wanted to ask about opportunities at both Texas A&M and UT Austin. I have been accepted to both and have done my research on the both of them. I know the...

Hi everyone and Happy New Year. I'm happy to say that I just received my congressional nomination here last week, and so my official application is now completed. To anyone out there, do you happen to know when appointments will be rolling out and how that works with respect to the rolling...

Hi everyone. I'm almost done with my application, as I am just pending an evaluation from my English teacher. However, do you know how the CFA factors into the admissions process, specifically what percentage it counts towards to when looking at the whole picture. Below I have also put my...

Should my PE Teacher have gotten an email/phone confirmation about my CFA scores at all? Or should they just be confirmed with the check box shown in my portal? Thank you!

Hi everyone! I just submitted my official USAFA CFA scores. Please tell me what y'all think! Basketball Throw: 45' Pull-Ups: 5 Shuttle Run: 9.1 Crunches: 81 Push-Ups: 56 Mile Run: 6:58 For reference, I am female. Thank y'all so much!

I attended FVE (Falcon Visitation Experience) virtually last week. By any chance does this mean I have a good chance of getting into USAFA?

Hi everyone. I am almost done with my USAFA application, including having finished my Evaluator ALO interview yesterday. However, besides the evaluations I am pending from my Math teacher, I still need to take my CFA. Below I have put my most recent results: Push-Ups: 56 Sit-Ups: 82 Shuttle...

Hi everyone. I just received my ACT scores back from earlier this October, and when I superscored three separate tests, my final score came out to a 29. I know USAFA has changed their requirements concerning these exams, but I am still worried about my score. I was planning to retake my exam in...

Hi everyone. I hope everyone is doing well :) In short, in light of this year's elections, I saw that many of my classmates wanted to become versed enough in politics to vote. As I've been keeping up with politics, being moderate and following closely both Democrats and Republicans, I thought...
