    Reputation of Air Force Squadrons

    I was a mom with a C1C Loose Hawgs '14. It was the first year they ranked #1. They came up from #37 the year prior. Consistencies in rank?... not so much. Commissioning was attended by Secretary of Air Force! An honor. Squad 'rank'...I suppose it depends on the leadership of any given year...

    Big week for the Seniors coming up.

    I specifically asked my C1C about a 'delay'. He claimed there are rumors...but no one will know f'sure until Thursday. They may delay the announcements...but nothing is confirmed. It seems the C1C's are still hoping for concrete info on Thursday. pins-and-needles.....

    New Policies

    My C1C DS started as a IC and sat with teammates at mealtimes C4C and C3C and first 1/2 of C2C years. Over time, it appeared he was quite isolated from his squad (a mom's observation, not confirmed by DS). He ended up independently resigning from the IC team for various reasons. He is having a...

    PW car rentals...?

    OK- it is my 4th USAFA parents weekend event. Unlike my uber-organized-DS, I did not keep info re: car rentals for that particular weekend. WHAT WAS I THINKING?? I do recall a wonderful contact re: cheaper-the-cheap car rental options...can someone remind me of this link...

    Importance of school sponsored team sports?

    oh, golly sakes...I gotta respond to the question of fencing as 'athleticism'. It is at once an aerobic and anaerobic beast. Plus..the mental and strategic side cannot be denied. ("Physical Chess") There is also a strong component of team-sport. How doya think the NCAA school rankings...

    Importance of school sponsored team sports?

    As far as I can tell...there is no NCAA Div1 Karate teams. The USAFA DOES have a formidable Div1 fencing team. She is at a great age to start fencing competitions at the local and state level. She does not need to be on a high school team to do this. Check into the local fencing salons. She...

    2017 Appointee Stats for future applicants

    Yup...I recall those earlier posts from years back re: similar topics. My DS and I read every statistical post prior to I-day (2010). He was rather intimidated at the time. Me too. Who are those kids and where did they come from??! yowza. His I-day class entered with 1293 peeps, 1258 after...

    Questions for a Freshman Cadet

    It has been over a year since Jezzie posted...AND in 14 (Zeamer!) months she will be graduating! I am glad this thread is back-in-business. There is a lot of knowledge here. As I was reviewing...I realized Jezzie's tag line is tattooed on my son's scapula! The quote is just another way of...

    USAFA Class of 2017 Facebook Page Meet & Greet

    Did I read this post correctly...? A parent set-up a facebook page for meet-and-greet? Is the parent also the moderator (private or otherwise)? Seems to be a poor precedence in prep for the apron-string cutting that is gonna dramatically occur. The roller-coaster ride is approaching a steep...

    USAFA vs AFROTC - please dont start a word war.

    My dad used to tell me...Go to college to get a well rounded education; apprentice as a plumber or any other blue-collar worker while in school...you will always have a 'job'..but your (liberal arts??) education will make you an interesting person...to yourself and others. College is about...

    Daddy's, don't let your daughters paint their toenails

    damn Christcorp!! You must've been in the backroom (closet??) yesterday. I was chatting with my C2C (Jack's Valley cadre...heading to COS now) about what I read about the pedicure...which, by the way, is my fav mother's day gift from the boys....and I kidded he should show up with painted...

    medical turnback

    I must say I am uber impressed they made the diagnosis in such a timely fashion. The first hallmark of a top-on-the-line medical staff. GBS can be rather obscure, and there have been many of my patients who where tested and re-tested for all sorts of anomalies until the diagnosis of GBS was...

    medical turnback

    yowza... GBS can have many manifestations. There is controversy if it is really related to flu vaccines...yet, there is an almost statistically significant correlation. However, "The Medical Jury' is out. Personally, I have had patients present with variable symptoms and recovery. I do...

    Squadrons

    I think your 'list' of squadrons should include the cadre for each squadron as known....looks like Tutmom and I have cadre for Interceptors, for example. BCT 1 and BCT 2!! uh ho. I am wary of squadron assignments being posted pre-I-day. But, perhaps I am becoming a bastion of...

    tee hee Zira1002. I won't tell that you are on this forum (or that I am either...) in regards to Interceptors and my DS. Do know we are ALL proud of you. You WILL have a great time in BCT (in retrospect). DS may not be the smartest of the smart..but he is kind and a quiet, fair leader. He is...
