Hey everyone! It is now summer and it looks like there are some places where I will really need to see someone to help me improve. The news is mixed for last month because I got better in some areas but worse in others. I cannot stop drinking soda or going to Chick-fil-a to save my life, and it...

Hi everyone! It's the end of May now, and some things have changed for the better since last month. A couple of things actually got worse. Here's what happened since. You might first notice the results of the poll. Three of the six said "Yes" to the poll question, and five said it was at least...

That does not sound good. It seems like people are doing formal punishment but acting like "it's no big deal." If it's really no third chance and the results are very close, I'd definitely not want to possibly owe the government tens of thousands of dollars later because of a fluke after some...

Move Request Would you mind moving my CFA Progress Thread post (currently in "Off Topic") to the USAFA forum? My post has content specifically related to AFA and I think it would be appropriate there.

Hey everyone! I'm interested in the AFA and NA and the big hurdle is my fitness. One of the things I wrote in my introduction post last week was that I'd try a mock CFA. After thinking about it some more, I decided to make a detailed post to keep me motivated and moving along. My idea is to...

Thank you for the information and for the link A1Janitor! I think what I'll do is in three days do a mock physical and see what I can do at the maximum then make a post. I'm actually big to the point where my knees hurt (and my shoes are okay) from coming down on the ground and so that'll...

Hello. This is my introduction. I'm having a look at USAFA or USMA and am having a hard time getting to the physical standards each wants, so if you have any "fatso" jokes, I guess you can get them out of the way lol. I'm from an old family (we've been here since the 1620s) and from what I've...

That's really fast! At least you're not struggling to get under 9:00 like I am. I was told this is too slow and probably disqualifying.

There was a recent post about someone wanting to be a pilot and, to me, the replies made it seem like the poster's prospect was a guarantee. I looked on Google and couldn't find info about the number of pilot slots assigned to AFA and number of pilot selects for a particular year. If someone is...

Wow! That was a great post. There's just one thing I wonder about and have an opinion of. The Academy is still a school, and as such, it should at least act as a guide along the way rather than effectively tell people "you do it," or "you reach for it." Many times it's not clear what to reach...
