    Burn out

    Currently a second year within AFROTC, or a AS200. Been super stressed lately and kept busy, but have been doing great things in and out of ROTC and am ranked #1 in my class, but at a cost of experiencing some bad burn out and things that have happened that have given me a weird outlook on the...

    Trying to become competitive

    The Academy website mentions that ACT/SAT scores reported in February may, or may not get to them in time, it is a unique basis per candidate I'd say, but I think they are referring to people who have taken their tests in December or January.

    Is it realistic for me to pursue my dream to attend a Service Academy?

    Thank you! I actually just got it a few days ago, it has been such a massive motivation and disciplinary read for me, I've never thought more clearly on my goals and pushing myself, with my dreams, physically and mentally. Appreciate you.

    Is it realistic for me to pursue my dream to attend a Service Academy?

    You're right. I see so many people around me who are 'better' and often times, I let that push me over and mess with my mentality. I have always had a sheer-passion to attend, and while my flame has never died out, I think I let my past determine my future, especially when it comes to in such a...

    Is it realistic for me to pursue my dream to attend a Service Academy?

    Congratulations to your DS! That's an amazing story. It is always excellent to see people who strive for their dreams and achieve them, especially as someone as decorated and inspirational as Gen. Patton, it really makes a down to Earth experience and realistic. Thank you for the inspiration and...

    Is it realistic for me to pursue my dream to attend a Service Academy?

    You're absolutely right. No candidate is perfect. I definitely plan to climb the mountain and do what I possibly can. On your point of sympathy, obviously I don't want that whatsoever, more or less I don't think it is an excuse, I do think at-least, the grit and overcoming what I did has played...

    Is it realistic for me to pursue my dream to attend a Service Academy?

    Absolutely. Tell your story has stuck with me. It has been a monumentally great read from everyone on the forum. I've adapted the mindset of it is only a matter of time before I do attend or shoot for officer-hood. The only anchor is myself, so I thank you for your feedback and help.

    Is it realistic for me to pursue my dream to attend a Service Academy?

    Hey everyone, Every since I was a child, I have wanted to serve my country, and the patriotism I feel to do more has always been with me. In high-school, I learned about the service academies and the legacy and tradition of each and every one of them, which truly blew me away in inspiration and...

    USAFA Waiting Thread C/O 2027

    I'm 20 and am a C/4C in AFROTC, and still would love to go to USAFA, perhaps not this year but next for C/O' 28, a lot of people call me nuts but, I feel the same way as you.

    Age

    Hey everyone. I wanted some personal advice regarding age at the Academy. I'm currently a 20 Y/O Freshmen in AFROTC, and have been working diligently towards USAFA for next year, Class of 28. I'd nearly be 22 at the start of BCT, if accepted and if I was provided a Preparatory School spot for...

    AFROTC Mental Health

    Hey all, I'm a C/4C and am currently battling some mental health-issues, or mainly regretting doing what I'm doing. I love the military, and ROTC, yet something about the college setting bothers me a-lot, then if I just rather enlisted and enjoyed my time without all the bull and financial...

    Deadlines for USAFA Class of 27

    That's right and fair. I feel like after the initial phases at USAFA, age doesn't really matter. I think it is something I could get over, I'm an older freshmen here in AFROTC any-how, so same concept with the younger cadets in-control. All respect for authority of course. You only live once!

    The Decision

    That's fantastic to hear. I felt alone on this path, but knowing this has made things a-lot more clear. I'd be 21 as-well, entering if I did C/O 28'. You can always look back and have regrets, but as fast as life goes, I shouldn't put down my dreams. Thank you for sharing. Best of luck to him.

    The Decision

    That's great to hear. I'd be a fresh 22-Y/O and would commission in 28 (If appointed) I'd be 25. I feel like age does not matter but would be commissioning years later than my current peers, which frightens me a bit. I hate being behind but I know something like this is bigger than such a dumb...
