    Anyone know their MAX?

    What's that supposed to mean? :eek3: Is it because we know the special sort of hell July brings to the Gulf Coast? Lol

    Hey, I see you're going to Max 1 as well! Best one to go to, I've been told.

    Anyone know their MAX?

    You are correct. By the way, I got Max 1 - my number one choice!

    Updates to Application

    I'd email them because when I had an update-I called first and (over the phone) she told me to email her :yllol:

    When are most appointments sent from USAFA?

    From what I've gathered, the majority of appointments are in March. My personal cutoff date is April 9-if I don't get a letter by then, I'm going to my #2 which already accepted me.

    U.S. Department of Peace

    One of the comments sums up my views on the matter :shake: "I think it's time that Code Pink, as an organized group form a peace committee and travel to Iraq and Afghanistan with their message and how to solve the problem of war, instead of their 'hug ins' and just mouthing off about the...

    Sweeping Democracy in the Middle East?

    There's actually a good documentary on this (filmed by the guy who made the SuperSize Me)-its sort of outdated (2004-ish?) but it shows perspectives of people in different countries and classes. For example, there are parts where he interviews a radical Islamic Imam from Saudi Arabia, and...

    Can this really happen?

    My school is INSANELY strict too :/ Students can't have facial hair-if we do, a teacher will make us go to the Senior Office where they hand out razors and make us shave. It's happened to me twice this year alone :unhappy: Appearantly that's rare for schools? It's a public high school too...

    Can this really happen?

    I come from more or less a farm town, so our senior prank ideas consist of these 2 things: 1) Release 3 pigs in the school halls, labled 1,2,4 2) Bring a cow upstairs. Cows won't walk down stairs (we do have a...small elevator however) :shake: But I doubt either one will come to happen :/

    Can this really happen?

    http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/02/03/virginia-teen-expelled-facing-criminal-charges-shooting-plastic-spitballs/ Appearantly, this kid's chances of going to USNA are shot because of this. He's a high school freshmen too, from what I gather. This is why I disagree with zero-tolerance policies.

    USAFA 2015 class size reduction?

    I guess that's good and bad news to me then: I really want to get into USAFA but I have been accepted to a college with a good AFROTC (Texas A&M, if you care) but I DO plan on going career military as well. So possible ups and downs there. It was a matter of time until this sort of thing...

    Sweeping Democracy in the Middle East?

    I'm viewing this with a much more negative outlook: although I'm usually an optimist, I don't think this can go well for the US at all. I can see the Muslim Brotherhood easily using the protests as an advantage to take power of some kind, which would probably sour relations with Israel...

    Appointments

    Well, it also depends on your geographic location. If you live in Colorado Springs, you'll probably get your BFE (assuming Big Fat Envelope which holds the appointment information) before the website updates. On the other hand, if you live in Hawaii, the website could very well update before you...

    USAFA 2015 class size reduction?

    True that. If it's true, this is the precise reason you apply for a civilian college as well and join the ROTC program. Truth is, if you're USAFA material but end up not getting in, in theory you should definately be able to survive AFROTC.

    Nominations-Is it a done deal

    2 things: 1.) So about 3,000 candidates get noms? Therefore about 1/3 of nominated candidates are offered appointments right? Also would someone who is declared a candidate BEFORE their nom have a higher chance of admission than someone who reached candidate status AFTER they recieved their...

    Academy Application Question

    I have an interesting story to add on to this: Currently, I have my nomination but no LOA. One of my friends (who I met at the Summer Seminar) has an LOA but no nomination yet. But, as stated before, if nothing changes, I can be offered an appointment and he can't. However, I believe most...

    Hey Bullet

    Just by the video, the Chinese plane looks strikingly similar to the YF-23. Could the same company have had a hand in desiging the J-20?

    Negativity at the USAFA?

    *Lurks* :bleh2: I actually hadn't thought of this before. It makes sense though!
