Is it OK if I handwrote in all of the answers to the SF86? Some folks have said I could have typed them in, but I handwrote instead. Do I have to redo it?

Hey yall, with just about 1 week left until I-Day (woah!?), I just want to ask for a little advice and some suggestions about the day before. I will be traveling alone to Colorado, landing in Colorado Springs just before noon on the 22nd. That gives me a whole afternoon, and more importantly, a...

I was told today that the Pikes Peak International hillclimb is set for the 25-26th, with practices and testing throughout the week. Does anyone know how crowded CO-Springs and the surrounding areas get during the weekdays leading up to it?

Split between Geospatial Science and Meteorology. I know I have time to decide, but thinking in advance :) Can anyone tell me about either or both of these majors? What are some of the classes, what are the opportunities, etc? Are either of these majors extracurricular/sports/minor friendly?

I have read that they arent required, but does anyone have any recommendations for "sport watches" ? I have searched Amazon up and down but I cannot find ones that dont have some bit of metal on them. Links are appreciated!

Its that time of year again, time to buy some boots. I know this question is asked every year, but the boot market changes every year. I was looking into the "NIKE 8" SFB Gen 2 Boots" A couple folks had recommended these to me. As far as I know they are compliant with the boot regulations...

I just finished my math placement tests. I had an A+ in Precalc and an A+ in Calc AB this year. Failed both sections of the placement tests! LOL There was no calculator which didn't make things any better... Anyone know how heavily they use these results for placements? I have completed a year...

Hey yall, 1. Is it possible to complete this behemoth security clearance questionnaire online? I keep seeing literature throughout the instructions suggesting it could be done online, but I am not sure. If this is possible, please let me know, as it would save so much time! Silly me printed it...

Hey, Im looking through the latter parts of the appointee kit, and I had a question about vaccination. What qualifies as fully vaccinated? I have two shots of Pfizer, but no booster. Where I live, this is fully vaccinated, however, I know some places require the booster. I did not read...

Hey y'all, the most difficult thing for me with just under 3 months to go is physical fitness. I want to reflect a little bit, and receive some feedback from people who have gone through the academy (or any of the others for that matter). I am training daily, with appropriate resting periods...

Hello all, I am interested in studying Environmental Science or a related field, but optimally, Env. Sci. Problematically, ES is listed under the Engineering discipline, which automatically excludes some of the schools (particularly the liberal arts colleges) I would like to list because they...

Does anyone know how to close your AROTC application? I no longer wish to complete it. Will it close on its own once the deadline passes?

It is in our human nature to express emotion and thought. Some do this by painting, others by singing, or dancing, or whatever they love. I often don't think of myself as someone who needs to do a lot of reflection and expression, but I think I should be more open to it. You see, I have been...

I previously had completed all checklist items. Checked today and they were gone... even after a refresh! Not concerned, just wanted to post about it because I thought it was funny

What does it mean if my status has changed to nonexistent? Like in the application box it usually says "Application Status: Complete" but now this is just gone... I just received my nomination a couple of days ago, could this mean my application is being reviewed? Or am I being fatally...

Well fooey. I decided to apply to WP relatively late, ie. all my nomination applications are in and WP is ranked 3rd in my MOC nom, and not even mentioned in either of my Senator noms. What's the realistic probability that I can even get a nomination to WP still. I found out I have an LOE...

Hey yall I had a weird question that popped into my head today. Does it hurt my admissions chances to have CFA scores be sent from another academy? Like the obvious answer is no, but at the same time, I see the soreness in it.

Anyone know what the CFA is out of? Is there little room to improve, lots of room to improve? Let me know, thanks.

Hey yall, my current status is "Current Medical Status: Awaiting Receipt of Remedial" for all three people who requested. USAFA put a green checkmark next to DoDMERB Medical Exam in my portal, so I'm not too worried, but the only reason I am asking is that my USNA admissions counselor says they...

What are the pros and cons for applying Early Action and Regular Decision in terms of ROTC. Ive heard things about leveraging your scholarship, but general advice would be great. I'm obviously not going ED anywhere, but granted I would theoretically find out about whether or not I receive a...
