The USAFA family has lost another member. http://kdvr.com/2015/10/13/air-force-academy-officer-killed-in-helicopter-crash-in-afghanistan/

I have the good fortune of being invited to a workshop for teachers and congressional staffers in mid-October. I get the privilege of eating with cadets in Mitchell Hall on Friday. I hope to meet some SAF cadets while I'm there.

I still remember my good fortune of stumbling upon this site. I was researching USAFA to determine if my son had even a remote chance for an appointment. I asked many dumb questions before I figured out how to search old threads. I learned about the new lexicon of acronyms and the important...

I just heard that USAFA will charge for parking at the football games this year. Can someone confirm our deny?

50 days, 2018. Bring your best and best wishes.

Just a quick question. The Air Force Academy cadets are offered a low-interest loan at the start of their 2nd class year. Is there a similar program for Second-class midshipmen? TIA

I'm trying to help out the parents of an Appointee. Does anyone know the date for A-Day? I have exhausted my limited searching skills. Also, if you could cite your source for verification purposes. TIA :thumb:

I-Day is almost here. You've packed your bags and said your good-byes to many of your friends and family. Your future begins NOW. 1. Do not take the yelling personally. Cadre really want you to succeed. 2. Just try to focus on getting through to the next meal during BCT. Thousands have...

Clicked on the live feed from the Pentagon Channel to sneak a peak at USAFA graduation coverage and saw a newly minted leuitenant from our parents' club receive his diploma! Congrats to 2013 graduates! You did it. :beer1::beer1::jump1::beer1::beer1:

Attention all future engineers (ages 15 - HS juniors). There is a SAME (Society of American Military Engineers) Camp for those interested in Engineering (Civil). My son went instead of SS and had a lot of fun. For further information check out http://samecamps.org/. You need to be sponsored...

Chuck Hagel is nominated for Secretary of Defense. Any thoughts?

Looking forward to the Air Force vs. Army football game. Throw their records out the window. This should be a good game. That is, I believe that it will be good for the visitors. In any case, when it is over they will be comrades again. In the interim, not so much. Go Air Force. Beat Army.

After staging a feel-good comeback Saturday to force overtime against Air Force, Navy took the lead for the first time on a 1-yard touchdown run by senior quarterback Kriss Proctor. Then came a penalty that Proctor, his teammates and Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo probably won't forget...

Labor Day seems so far away, but it is time to think about Parents Weekend. For the parents of the class of 2016, you definitely want to come if you can afford to. Your Doolie will have 3.5 weeks of classes behind them and will be anxious to get off base (and sleep and eat something other than...

After recognition we want to send DS's civilian clothes. Other than jeans, t-shirts and hoodies, are there any suggestions on what to send? Thanks.

Two years ago, my son applied and was accepted to the SAME Engineering and construction camp at USAFA. It is a wonderful opportunity to see the USAFA campus while participating in a variety of problem based learning opportunities, construction challenges, and team building activities. I have...

DS left for USAFA this morning. When he left, it occurred to me that USAFA is his home and he was just visiting us. He is planning to go to Peru over spring break with a Peruvian cadet. He may not even come home this summer. While we miss our DS, we are so proud of the young man he has...
