Good evening guys! I hope all of you are doing well. I recently got nominated by Congressman Pat Fallon to three service academies, USAFA (my first choice), USNA and USMA. Upon meeting him in person and attending a quick ceremony, I got my certificates and quickly realized a difference between...

I am a prospective candidate for the USAFA class of 2026. I am very interested in pursuing a flight path during my time as an officer. I am currently looking into the flying team, air combat club, and aviation club. Is it possible to fit all of these clubs into a cadets schedule? Also, what is...

I am thinking about applying to a SA, more specifically USAFA. I've done quite a bit of research and know a lot about the SA experience because I used to live right outside of Annapolis. Now I live somewhere I have a much better chance of getting a nomination, because barely anyone here knows...

Hello all, I am currently applying to both the USMA and USAFA for class of 2026. I am currently interested in a career in the medical field. As of right now, I am trying to find the best option between USAFA and USMA in terms of chances of being able to enter Medical School right out of the...

Are the 40 Squadrons really all equal (mixed with all majors, interests, and more or less randomly assigned) or are they specialized somehow? For example, is there an engineering or soccer heavy squadron? Also, is it true that you will be assigned a Squadron before Inprocessing Day? How do...

This is a simple question, but my DD wants to clarify. M-days are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, meaning you have M-day classes three times a week. T-days are Tuesdays and Thursdays, meaning you have T-day classes twice a week. I know some classes are not on this exact schedule, but is this the...

Hello all! I have been accepted to USAFA for class of '25, and have not yet heard from Navy. However, I am trying to prepare myself for the possibility that I might have to make a very difficult decision in the next few weeks if I'm also accepted to USNA. I wanted to get some experienced...

Hello all, I am a current 4/C MIDN at Virginia Tech. I was in the college program until yesterday, I was just awarded a 4 year National Scholarship (thankfully). Paying for college out of pocket was getting very old. As I search through these forums, I see a lot of stress about GPA and SAT...

Hello, I am applying to USNA and USAFA, and I was medically disqualified by DODMERB and will need a waiver. On the DODMERB site, it says under waiver review for both. I have heard conflicting information about the waiver process. Does each SA only process waivers if the candidate is determined...

Good Evening, I have been consuming a lot of this forum, but I decided it was about time I posted a question myself. So I've received a Nomination to USAFA from a particularly hard district (700+ Applicants in CO-01), and been served a Medical Disqualification. I have noticed many people of...

Hello, I am writing this post because I am in desperate need of advice. As I was applying to USAFA, I filled out the Form 2030 and falsified information. I did this out of ignorance and didn’t even consider the consequences. I understand that lying is not tolerated at USAFA and take full...

I was told that there were a couple of remedial exams that I had to go to, but I've been having a lot of issues scheduling them. One provider still has not received my referral, and another assigned provider for a different condition does not exist (provided address doesn't lead to listed...

Good morning everybody! I have been fortunate enough to receive an opportunity to play football at USMMA, but before that was even a possibility I was set on attending USNA or USAFA. Of course I would love to continue playing football, but I know that it does not last forever and I that is why I...

Hello everyone! I was recently granted a waiver to USAFA! I'm very excited but after reading the notification letter I was a little worried. Questions: 1) Even though I was waived to attend USAFA will I not be considered for a pilot or special operations career field because I was not...
