air force academy

I report for BCT on July 29th, so I'm starting now in my preparation for those crazy weeks. Any insight or advice people can give on what to expect, especially physically? I understand that there's no way to be 100% perfectly prepared for what will come, but my ALO stressed the importance of how...

I have begun my application and have completed everything except for the optional test scores portion of the application. I have taken the ACT unprepared once at the beginning of this semester, however, I am not content with the score for turning it in. This has lead me to wonder is it worth it...

I am Junior in November of semester 1 and have hit a bit of a rough patch in comparison to my prior success in high school. With this being said my academic setback has been backed up with being a Flight Sergeant in my Civil Air Patrol Squadron and Wing Encampment, Starting and running a new...

I am new to this site, but I am a junior in high school and I wish to either participate in AFROTC or go to the academy in Colorado Springs. My school is offering a free ASVAB test in December, and I don't know if I should take it. Will it be of any benefit to me, and are my scores automatically...

Hello, I'm a high school grad of 2016 planning on applying to the Air Force Academy for the class of 2021 and was curious how to improve my application. I'm aware that I can't just improve my chances in a matter of weeks, but I'm curious about ways to improve my application immediately and ways...

Hello, My name is Lovro, I am 17 and I come from Slovenia. I have been actively researching the possibility to attend the Air Force Academy as an international cadet for the past 2 years or so. I got plenty of answers from the American side, Ive talked to multiple cadets via Skype and have a...

I was diagnosed with GAD when I was 2. I've only ever had a problem at 2, 8, and 15. I'm 16 now, starting the application process to get into USAFA, and getting off of medication I've been on for a few months. It was the lowest possible dosage of Prozac and I haven't had any single thing happen...

I'm almost 16 and entering 10th grade this year. I'm very interested in trying to apply to USAFA. I am in the process of working to be able to solo by the end of the year and have found my ALO (have not contacted yet, but currently writing an email). There is a open house thing for interested...

I was wondering if anyone had any insight into what it is like to be on the Academy's track and/or cross country teams. How is it different from other sports in terms of practice time? What are practices like? Also, what is it like to be a walk-on? Any information at all on the experience would...

Are you required to live on campus at the Air Force Academy? If not, are there nice, affordable apartments near by? If so, what are the dorms like? And is Colorado Springs is nice part of Colorado? I am beginning to seriously consider attending the academy. However, the location scares me as its...

Alright, so I am currently deliberating my decision between USNA and USAFA, which has to be made very promptly (5/1/16), and today is 4/27/16. I'll be honest in saying I'm still very in between on this. At this point I've figured out that my experience at either Academy will be great and I...

So far I am in the Air Force Academy Summer Seminar, but because I am in (literally) the most competitive district for congressional nominations, I'm also applying to the Coast Guard Academy. I applied to AIM a while ago, and when I asked my mom which week I should put in for she told me I...

My name is Drake Huffman, I am 17 years old and am a junior in high school. I have a 3.3 GPA, I am very involved with community service in my town, from mini league football camps, to being camp counselor for 6th graders. I was the captain of the football team and was thinking of running for a...

I'm a very anxious junior in high school right now, and can't wait to get to college. My top two places I would love to go to are the Air Force Academy, and perhaps the Naval Academy (Air Force being my top). Like I said, I'm a girl who is junior in high school, and here are some of my stats...
