hey everyone, i am so happy i went to orientation!!!! the base is so beautiful, and the cadet area is HUGE!! i didn't think it would be that big, but when i was walking it with hornetguy i was like "WOW!!". and by the way, hornetguy was really awesome- he showed me around and gave me a good...

hey everyone, i really need to start a running program so i can get in good shape. i was wondering, what is a good benchmark to aim for? you know, being able to run 3 miles in 18 minutes or some tangible goal like that. Please keep in mind that i live at zero elevation, and i am trying to get...

i wonder if during orientation i would be able to meet my admissions offcer- the person who updates my application. she was really nice and helpful (i called a lot), and it would be cool to meet her and thank her in person.

i sent the acceptance form on wednesday.

well, i got my thin rejection letter today from USNA. to be perfectly honest, the only reason i have wanted the offer was pure selfishness. for a couple of months now, my first choice has been USAFA, and i even sent in my acceptance form before i heard from USNA, so the only reason i wanted it...

hey everyone, i am asking this question on another thread, but i decided to make a special one for it so i can get as much information from everybody, and it is concerning validation exams. i do plan to "validate" as many classes as i can. i see the benefits and really truly want to do...

i mailed in my acceptance form for my appointment today :)! does anyone know when i can expect my appointment kit? also, i might end up having to go to the last orientation date. do a lot of people go to that one?

Hello everybody, i just came back from my D.C. trip yesterday, so this is my first post since then. On Saturday March 29, i was looking at the city of New York (we went there too) atop the Rockefeller building at night, when i checked my voicemail on my cell phone and heard my dad telling...

okay, so i just called a USAFA admissions officer asking about my appointment status. he told me that the selections have been made and that they will send notification to the congressman/senators who will notify the appointees, so basically, he said, i would hear something the first week of...

okay, so i call up my USAFA counselor because i sent in my updated H.S. transcript but my 4.2 semester GPA hadn't been calculated into my GPA reported by USAFA on my online application. when she asks me for my social, she looks at my file and says under her breath "oh...you'll be getting...

i was offered a type 7 scholarship, but when i got it i wasn't even excited!!! i know it is a big achievment, but after thinking about it, its almost like i was born and raised to attend USAFA, and i just cant accept anything less. besides, my scholarship will only fund me up to 9000 or full...

Hey everyone, Last week usafa sent me a letter saying they haven't received results on my medical status, but i was qualified by DODMERB already, they just didnt receive the results yet. As of friday, i am a medically qualified candidate according to my online USAFA application. Yay!! now that...

hey everybody, so i just asked this girl who is acquantance of mine out tonight. we have a lot and common and we really hit it off and all, its just that i don't want this to hinder my future if i get an appointment!! i believe that this can be a good thing, that i can learn and grow from the...

hey guys (i guess this question is mainly for hornetguy)- can i be a soaring IP (instructor pilot) and jumpmaster (aka, on the wings of blue) while at the academy? i know it wouldn't be possible to do both at the same time, but what about jumping apprentice one year and then soaring IP another...

this is kind of a random thread, i guess, but i can't help thinking about what the academy will be like! i often find myself daydreaming about the many programs and challenges i will GET to do! i look at the viewbook at least everyday and watch a couple inspiring youtube videos about the academy...

hey everyone, i havent recieved appointments to either usna or usafa, but i am anticipating I-day anyways. What is a good program to help me get in shape? i need help primarily with a solid running program, but other suggestions will help me too. thanks

hey everyone, i am 74 inches tall. now, according to the air force's website, 78 is the cutoff to be a pilot, yet i know most fighter pilots (which is what i want to be) are relatively shorter than that. are my chances impossible? will i end up flying heavies no matter what because of my height...

i dont know if this is just with my district (49-california), but sometime after the nominations are given out the congressman holds a dinner. i got my nom a month and a half ago and haven't received notification. maybe only the appointed nominees get invited to the dinner, which explains the...
