For the Wordlers out there - another great game, one and done each day. The same style as Wordle, but you need to group 16 words into groups of 4 by some relation (i.e. sounds a child makes, words for imitating, etc.) Pretty interesting! Give it a try on the NYT page where you find wordle. It is...

Would it be of value to send out an email to my nomination sources updating them that I have passed my CFA, am medically qualified, and received an LOA? Is that something I can do? I completed all my nomination applications about 2 weeks ago. Thank you to all the veterans on here for your...

Hello all, I just finished my Dodmerb physical l - they did an eye chart exam for me. I have no eye issues other than being shortsighted. I usually only wear glasses to see the board, and at my eye exam the optometrist said I should be ok because my vision is correctable to 20/20. I didn’t think...

I just took another practice CFA, and I’m wondering if anyone has any tips for dealing with nausea. I have no problem with it for normal workouts, but for the CFA, my nausea builds between events and I’ve puked before the mile a few times - any tips? I hydrate the previous day and don’t eat...

Hi all! Question about the below in my West Point portal Profile. I entered some of this information in the kit when applying for SLE, but it all shows as 0 now though I have participated in several of these ECs. Will this change once I fill out my CAR, or should I reach out to admissions?

When confirming our profile on DoDMERB, do we list our desired services (I would like to apply to USAFA and West Point), or is that field for active duty service people?

I was in Vermont at a farm with family for the 4th. On the 4th, several F22s (I think) flew overhead. Are all fighter jets in the air affiliated with the air force? And where do they do flyovers on the 4th? At a college, base, etc? Happy 4th everyone, and thank you to all the vets, active duty...

Hi everyone, I will be attending SLE and USAFA's summer seminar this summer. USAFASS has provided a detailed packing list. Is there something similar available for SLE? Where do we find that? I saw that there was a list in a thread from last year, but the link no longer works. Thanks.

Hi everyone! The dates for USAFASS and SLE are conflicting for me, as I was accepted to Session 1 of both. I am hoping to be able to get both experiences if possible and have asked if I can switch my USAFASS session. If this does not work, I could also ask to switch my SLE session, but this...

Is there any way to request a USAFASS Session change? I was accepted to the first session but would like to request a change to the second, as the first overlaps with the USMA SLE session I was accepted to. It would work out perfectly for logistics if I could change to the second USAFASS session.

Does anyone have any tips for pullups from deadlock? I have read that you retract your shoulderblades to start the movement, but I'm not 100% sure what that means. I can do a few pullups if I start with my arms even slightly bent, but if I lock my arms between reps, I do not know how to do another.

To anyone who follows the NHL: what do you think of the Bruins this season? I feel like they have a great shot at the Stanley Cup this year, this team came together out of nowhere :)! But some of my friends tell me that if we win the President's Cup, we won't win the Stanley... Hoping my home...

Hello everyone. Has anyone on the forum (or someone you know) gone the med school route for a career after USAFA? I am interested in going into the medical field. I wanted to see if anyone could share their experience of going to med school, either before their ADSO or after?

Hello all! I am hoping to apply and attend the USAFA Summer Seminar, as well as the USMA SLE. The dates do overlap for the sessions available. Do you know if it makes a difference in your application's (your summer seminar application's) competitiveness if indicating that you are available for...
