First time posting in a while... I don't mean to sound greedy or anything but do cadets generally get military discounts from airlines? If so, how would this be done? Thanks!

What’s the better dormitory to live in?

If USAFA does not work out for me, I am looking at a couple AFROTC schools. My number one (UVM) has a cross-town agreement with Norwich, which is 48 mins away. I’d like to ask current and former AFROTC how they would get to cross-town locations without a car as an underclassman. I’d assume...

I was wondering whether there is a defined date you have to have medical (exams, waiver granted) done in order to be eligible to receive a full appointment. I’ve received a conditional appointment but will not be seeing my doctor until 4/23. Thanks!

Sorry if this has been asked before... What types of rifles are currently used in BCT on the marksmanship and assault courses?

Hello- anyone aware of the date one must make a decision as to whether to accept if awarded an AFROTC scholarship? Thanks.

Anyone have any tips in completing form 86 (security clearance) in a timely manner? Took forever to complete the first 1/3 for me and now page just reloaded and lost everything.:mad: Should I just bring the whole thing and do it by hand? Needs to be in hard copy for I-Day anyway, right?

Just accepted my offer of appointment, which was DoDMERB conditional. Was I supposed to wait to be cleared before accepting? 😬

Considering enlisting in Marine reserves before and during college, but also would like to become an officer down the road. Spoke with recruiting office today and they told me if I am in the reserves in college, I can commission almost immediately after I get my degree with no OCS or ROTC. Can...

Sorry if this has been asked before, but am I required to have scheduled my interview or been in contact with my evaluator ALO on or before my deadline? My deadline is today, I have the entire list of forms complete, and have been in regular contact with my mentor ALO. Thanks.

Hey everyone, Just took official CFA... did I pass? Basketball: 55, 59, 58 Pull-ups: 12 Shuttle Run: 8.88, 9.26 Sit-ups: 84 Push-ups: 43 Mile: 6:51

I have a principal nom, so I am just looking to be triple qualified for appointment. The paths to physical and medical qualification are pretty clear. More blurry to me is the path to academic qualification. I have a 1520 SAT and 3.94 unweighted, 4.30 weighted prior to beginning of senior year...

Any recommendations as to what to answer for this essay question? Please provide any additional information or background you believe will be of assistance in evaluating your application. (400 to 500 words, 3000 characters max)

Is the portal supposed to notate whether a nomination is principal? How can I be sure that USAFA is aware of the principal nom? Lmao this is my paranoid side coming out:hammer:

Can you run your CFA mile inside a school gym or must it be outside on a longer course?

I just submitted requested DoDMERB remedial for a condition that I believe will eventually be waiverable, however I have read that USAFA may not consider a medical waiver if the application is incomplete. I still have to take CFA, and will be taking a week from now. I know that the basis for...

My left knee has a partially-torn meniscus and a condition called osteochondritis dissecans. I am awaiting forms from my physician's office and will get them into DoDMERB as soon as I receive them. Neither of these conditions affect me during athletics but have somewhat bothered me occasionally...

I recently received a principal nomination to USAFA. I am done with everything except for DoDMERB. Since principal apparently means they must accept me assuming I am 3Q, will I receive a conditional appointment soon? Or will they likely just wait for everything to clear up and then send...

I just received the principal nom to USAFA from my congresswoman. Most of my application is complete, although I am yet to write my essays or have my ALO interview. I will obviously try as hard as I can on the remaining aspects of the application to "slam dunk" my appointment, but how bad would...

***Want to preface this by saying I have not been appointed to USAFA or have lost IB Diploma Candidacy*** This is purely hypothetical, as chances are I will be receiving an IB Diploma come HS graduation, but if I were to receive an offer of appointment, and then it came out that I lost a chance...
