Hello applicants and curious grads alike! Happy to announce you can now minor in Sustainability. Not sure when it will be updated on the official websites... however it will be in the 2024-2025 Academic Course of Instruction, and cadets can declare it starting now! Course offerings include...

This was a rumor made up by cadets who were unaware of how it was done.

I am looking for a non-GPS, non-smartwatch (MUST be able to go into a SCIF!) that is durable, long-lasting, and not a pocket burner. I know there is the classic G-Shock series, but I just cant stand their blocky look. Any recommendations?

Hey! Space Ops is no longer a major being offered! Too few cadets enrolled.

You should be able to, but you will be issued a composition notebook on I-Day for this exact purpose.

Ours were all taken on day 1, policy is now to not have basics know the time.

The interview makes up ~40% of the selection criteria. Academics (not OPA or class rank) takes precedence next at ~35%, followed by extracurriculars (being active in one of USAFA's space squadrons, i5 or CSOPS helps a lot here!) at ~10%, and then athletics and military comprise the final 15%...

Shout out to Mechanical Engineering! 8 graduates for the class of '23!

Many freshmen throw their white shirts away or buy new ones because of how Goodwill washes them. Ones I bought before Basic are now cream-colored and as wrinkly as a rag in a mechanic's shop.

Depends on event type/distance, etc. In general, the minimum for everyone is 35 lbs.

Get an iPad Air. You are running with it in your left hand (and likely your laptop too). It can get heavy quick. The air has proven more than capable for school here.

Hey yall, I had some questions about what it's like to transfer, and I'm seeking the retrospective thoughts of those who did. This is mostly aimed at those who transferred from USAFA or another academy, thank you. a. Do you think it was worth it in the long run, financially, for your mental...

Well, that’s not exactly true. Seeking mental health does not impact remaining in the service, but it can revoke flying status, clearances, and more. They tell us here it won’t impact us, but then when your friends show you a paper telling them that they have been “temporarily” disqualified from...

My priorities right now are school first, money second. Whether that money be merit based, or from ROTC, I do not know. However, I do know what my ambitions are, and where I will and wont find them.

I have already reached out to the Enrollment Officer at the battalion of my top choice transfer school for more info, however, any more information y'all could give would be helpful. FYI: Currently a Frosh at USAFA, looking to go Army ROTC How does the MS year system work with transfers? How do...

Greeting to all of you great and wise graduates, and storied peoples. I currently attend USAFA. I have amazing grades, I am in the Honors Program, and I have a great thing going. On Christmas, I received a gift which ultimately put me in a weird state of mind. It was the flag flown on my class...

I have a 3.93 (4.0 major GPA) and I was told I was somewhere in the "top 50-25" by my advisor. I don't know how accurate this is.

Appointments in December? Thats... rare. Congrats. See you next year.

That's current as of this year! Quite a few put pilot as their least preferred option, some even as a joke, not thinking it would happen. Big Blue said they needed bodies in the BUFFs, and it was set, they would be going to pilot training.

Hey! I am in the Honors Program here. I will warn you, it might not be what is promised -- I am unaware of "early admission" into the program. As of this semester, everyone who wanted to be in the Program had to submit an application. The breakdown of MHP: replace ten core classes with ten...
