I know that you can't tell how good of a candidate I am based off of this; I'm just looking for advice. I am a junior in high school. I have a 3.5 GPA (unweighted), accepted to Boy's State, volunteer firefighter, Varsity XCTF, 1410 SAT, and a 5 on the AP World. In September I attended a local...

I am a rising high school senior currently searching for a summer job. However, my availability is limited due to Boy’s State and potentially other programs (SLE, NASS, AIM, and sports), making it difficult to commit to a full summer position. Previously I have been a lifeguard at a local pool...

Hey all. First time making a post but I'm in a difficult situation and would like some feedback. I have applied to USAFA and the Naval Academy, and additionally have nominations to both from my district representative. I have been offered the AFROTC commander scholarship to a decent school in my...

I feel like its missing a "wow" factor and it isn't detail enough but i have no more characters to express more? Ideas? I was a “people pleaser”, always giving in to the words of others. Never saying no, no matter how much I hated to say yes. A slave to validation and acceptance. It wasn’t...

Hello everyone! I am currently a sophomore in high school and I was wondering if anyone had insight on how I can improve. I did not have a good freshman year at all, barely passed (COVID hit me like a truck), so I'm trying to rebuild. Academically, I maintain a 3.8-3.9 GPA, I take three honors...

Hello! I'm a prospective USAFA cadet. In the end, I want to be commissioned as an officer in the Air Force. Ideally, I'd love to be admitted to USAFA. I love the camaraderie and tradition that USAFA brings, but honestly, I haven't been where I need to mentally lately. Last year I moved to a new...

About a month ago I got a letter from the navy saying that I was not able to enlist due to having retained hardware on my left leg. I was confused because at MEPS I saw in my file “waiver recommended” I was bummed out, and my recruiter didn’t understand. In the end they recommended me to go to...

Hello! I am curious as to how much of an advantage I will have with applying to the USAFA based on my High school classes. I am currently a tenth grader, but I will be entering my junior year by the end of the summer. My junior year classes are: AP US History, AP US Gov/Politics, Spanish IV, AP...

Hello! I am a 13 year old female heading into 9th grade and am interested in the military academies! I have been looking into them for years and have especially been drawn towards the Naval Academy/Air Force Academy! I am the first person in my family to be born in America, but serving the U.S...
