I would like to know also. First what are the circumstances behind the waivers and second why are they being denied this year?

My DRM, (dear room-mate) bless his heart, was a double major, Astro and Compsci. He graduated from some New York University. Huh? Yep, busted out for grades, end of first quarter, Firstie year. You had better have your stuff together if you're going to double major, there's some serious wisdom...

Maybe someone knows how many class crests Incorporated the cadet chapel. As the OP, if you read the first article I posted, the history and the planning that went around it was amazing. The entire country was following its development.

I'll just say what I told my son when he thought he was going to leave because of how much it had changed from what I had told him to expect. You can quit but if you think it's going to be different at any other school you will be disappointed. If you think the system is broken then it's...

A wrap on the cube that made it look like the chapel was still there ? For lack of a better word or phrase, that would have been totally awesome!

Family housing, barracks or dormitory projects were not considered for deferment, nor were projects that had already been awarded or those that were expected to be awarded during fiscal year 2019.

I had the same experience at Arnold Hall and at a summer program with Cadets. I was literally left speechless also I faced off with one of them and let him know it wasn't going to end there The OP is not a one-off, this is rampant. This is not a pendulum swinging, this is a societal problem...

Actually if I read the article correctly the Box was always planned in order to work through all of the forecasted inclement weather. The asbestos issue reared its ugly head only a couple years after the work started

I know renovations started in 2019 and were supposed to be finished in 4 years, and all I have seen are delays and extensions. It wasn't hard to start believing with all of the other construction projects getting finished so quickly that there was some kind of conspiracy. So what's going on...

I would have to say that definitely, my earlier post was a classic rant. I guess we grads and parents of grads and current cadets may internalize and be more sensitive to that swing of the pendulum more than others. There is great wisdom in many of the posts here. And surely USAFA is not alone...

My son just came home. He was disgusted with the whole recognition process. He was definitely not alone in his feelings. The firsties from what I understand were also pretty disgusted. No doubt the Doolies were happy to cruise through except for the Cadets like the OP, and I hear this from...

USAFA Grad

One more thing. I'm not sure you are asking the right question. Frankly, I don't think the Academy cares one way or the other, JrROTC vs CAP. What you should be asking is, does your nominating source have a preference. I will be sitting on a nominating board in 2 weeks, and I will be looking at...

At my son's H.S., JrROTC took up valuable academic periods that restricted how many AP classes he could take. AP classes are vital to academic success at the Blue Zoo. (success does not equate to hanging on by your fingernails) My son instead joined the CAP (which is now a DOD affiliate)...

And maybe I'm a little oversensitive... of the three Fighters types I flew, two of them are flying around with orange tails😝

Okay I get that, maybe we're arguing semantics but still a flyby of drones/targets, really? But if you want to tell me that it's a PR move showing that the new generation of Fighters are coming IE F 22s and F 35s, or the NGAD fighter, I can get on board with that.. but I don't think that's...

Oh, I don't know.. maybe that big ol' orange tail? 😁

I stand corrected, the Warfighter series is still going on as are the occasional flyby, but seriously who wants to watch a couple F-16 drones flying by.

Absolutely. Every single one of my instructors in academics was a rated pilot , even my Spanish instructor from the Spanish Air Force. Like the saying you are who your friends are, if you are rarely around rated pilots, well, out of sight, out of mind. I think General Moga's Warrior series was...

Don't be defensive. You completely missed my point, read my post again. I am very aware of US AF/SF career professionals that are not pilots. I was merely pointing out that there are a number of interviewees that are just looking for a free education. I would challenge anyone here to do all of...
