I posted a similar question right after I got my appointment. I struggled a lot with whether or not USAFA was what I wanted because of how big the commitment is. I was in a different situation as I am a direct, but I was also really struggling with if the decade of commitment I was making was...

I'm at USAFA this year and I struggled a lot on whether or not to accept my appointment (you can see it if you look at my past posts). You seem to know this already given your last sentence, but I thought I would reiterate it anyways. The best advice I received is that there is no "right" or...

I did the exact thing last summer, USAFA SS to NASS and also had one night in between. I actually got stuck in an airport overnight because of flight delays, even though I called before my first flight took off and transferred to a later flight. Moral of the story, if you can't get a direct...

Is there a club swim team at USAFA? I am a class of 2027 appointee and I heard one of the cadets in the virtual tour during the virtual appointee event say that they were on the club swim team but swim is not listed under the clubs page on USAFA's website. I am hoping to join the club team as I...

Can you explain how sports work during BCT in more detail? SA2026hopeful said previously in this thread that ICs practice during BCT, but what about club sports? Also, does anyone have information about the club swim team? I heard one of the cadets in the virtual tour during the virtual...

I struggled a bit with my decision to accept my appointment to USAFA. I knew I wanted what the USAFA has to offer; the opportunities, friendships, the growth as a person and leader. The service academies are once in a lifetime opportunities with many once in a lifetime opportunities available to...

Thank you so much! This is super helpful. I was just wondering what the rules are for what kind of earrings you can wear.

Thanks for posting this thread! I'm a class of 2027 appointee and I have started to collect things for BCT and for the bag I'm leaving at a friend's house in CO for after BCT. I know that most people recommend not bringing anything extra for BCT except more underwear and bras, but is there...

The doctor I saw for my physical reported that I had a deformity when I am actually just double jointed. I went to a specialist they took x-rays and did an exam and said nope nothing is wrong you're just hyper-mobile, it's not a deformity. I was then able to submit a letter from this doctor to...

So I faced something similar, the doctor I saw for my physical reported that I had a deformity when I am actually just double jointed. I went to a specialist they took x-rays and did an exam and said nope nothing is wrong you're just hyper-mobile, it's not a deformity. I was then able to submit...

Yes! Sorry, I got confused about LOA vs appointment because the LOA showed up in my portal as a "Decision" and I had my nomination and medical clearance at the time. I was confused why there was no accept button but figured it would show up later, and now I fixed it in this chart!

To the OP and anyone else feeling this way: I just want to say I get it, and you are not alone. I'm also trying to figure out what I really want. I just received an appointment to USAFA, and I've also received a number of civilian college acceptances from early action submissions. It has forced...

I had to contact them to add more info into my packet. You can call them at this number: 1-719-333-3562. Nobody picked up for me but if you call during regular hours you can follow the phone tree to the number to get in contact with the person in charge of candidates within your last name...

I am also a prospective applicant for USAFA class of 2027, and I haven't submitted mine yet either, I'm still working on my essays. Some USAFA reps visited my school the other day and they said the first board meets in October, so they haven't even considered any applications yet. If you get it...

If you are looking for a more in-depth packing list there is one for the Air Force Academy Summer Seminar. It is slightly different because they do not provide shorts or pants to participants, but here is their packing list for context!

I am thinking about applying to a SA, more specifically USAFA. I've done quite a bit of research and know a lot about the SA experience because I used to live right outside of Annapolis. Now I live somewhere I have a much better chance of getting a nomination, because barely anyone here knows...
