Good evening everyone. I have already accepted my USAFA appointment, but I understand that anything can happen between now and the end of basic. Just in case anything serious happens, I plan to put the $400 deposit into Virginia Tech. I am willing to lose the deposit money, better safe than...

Good afternoon everyone! The Appointee Booklet states, "Athletic style shoes are mandatory. Appointees MUST bring athletic style shoes that are serviceable, in good condition and do not have excessive ornamentation. The athletic shoe must be white, black, or grey in color. The shoe’s primary...

Good evening, I apologize for the second post but there's something I am itching to know. I believe in the past, all color vison anomalies were disqualifying for UPT or becoming a pilot in general in the Air Force. However, I've heard that the Air Force has since changed their color vison...

Good evening everyone. I've looked into the languages USAFA provides as minors but wanted to know if anyone has insight on these programs. I want to pursue a language as a minor, but I am not sure which one I should pick and if the program is even worth it over other minors such as Nuclear...

Hey everyone, sorry for the multiple posts today. One of the forms ask if I am interested or not in the Drum and Bugle Corps. I have played violin and viola during my academic career. I am a little rusty, but I can learn again quickly. I have some interests, but I will need to transition to...

Good afternoon everyone. I was recently appointed, and I am currently completing the required forms. One of the required forms is titled "Bank or Credit Union Account Information Section" and it is for cadet pay. Since I will be 17 when I enter the academy, should I open a credit card account (I...

Good afternoon, I just accepted my appointment today. I know this is early, but when can I start to see the documentations pop up in my portal. Also, are appointees offered tours? My family is planning to visit USAFA during spring break. Thanks!

Good evening, I posted this in the USAFA section, but I believe this section is more appropriate. I was recently appointed the USAFA, and I have always wanted to become a pilot through UPT. However, I have a minor color deficiency (I did not need a waiver for this for the medical portion). Do I...

Good morning everyone. I was recently appointed to USAFA and I have always wanted to become a pilot with a UPT. However, I have a very minor color deficiency. In fact, I didn’t even need a medical waiver for my eyes. Do I have any chance at a UPT with my color deficiency? Do I even have a chance...

Good evening, I completed everything but the medical portion about two weeks ago for USNA. They have yet to request my medical, and the admissions office are now reviewing the profiles for the big batch. Since the request is based on competitiveness, am I at a dead end? I am already medically...

Hello everyone. I looked at the USAFA page, and they offer Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian or Spanish. However, I want to pursue Korean as a minor. Is there some way I can achieve this? If not possible, is there some other program for Korean at USAFA?

Hello everyone. I was recently waitlisted on my early action decision for Virginia Tech. To be completely honest, I was very shocked to see that I was waitlisted. To put it into perspective, I humbly had a near 4.5 GPA, 1430 SAT (710 Math, 720 English), top 10%, good essays, multiple leadership...

When does the USAFA admissions board meet to offer the next wave of appointments?

So I was nominated by my Senator to USAFA almost a month ago. I am almost certain he is doing a competitive slate rather than the principal nominee slates or ranked slates due to the fine print. When it comes to competitive slates, does USAFA choose the most competitive candidate after all...

Good morning, I am an applicant for the AFROTC Scholarship for high schoolers. My standardized testing is 1400 - 720 reading, 680 math and 1340 - 630 reading, 710 math. I understand AFROTC does not superscore, however, I want to show my math score. Does this mean even if I send my 1340 with the...

Does going for an appointment at one service academy hinder your chances in any way for an appointment to another? Thank you and have a great night.

Good evening, I am currently completing my application to Wespoint. I have completed my Air Force Academy application prior to this. Therefore, I have completed and passed my CFA for USAFA. On the CFA part for Wespoint's applicant portal, I requested my CFA from the Air Force. Do I still have to...

Good evening, This is my first time posting on the Air Force Academy Forums, so I apologize if I make any formatting mistakes. I am an applicant for the Air Force Academy for the Class of 2025. I completed my application back in early November, got a presidential nomination in October, and...
