Yeah, 3.3 probably isn't going to do it. You always have to remeber, theres always someone else trying to do better then you. Its a fact of life. Just remember try your hardest to do good on your school work. Take no short cuts. Ask when you don't understand. Read books about planes. Also talk to your teachers about general things when you have a ...

I'm not an expert in this but your chances of getting into a dog fight now days is close to none. I've read you get some training on it, but it is never used in real combat situations. Now i'm not a real pilot and only 14 years old, so i'm not 100% sure, but I remember reading that somewhereJake

I fully believe the ATC system is under tremendous stress since FAA started its ''run it like a business'' push.  I am an air traffic controller at Newark Liberty Airport in NJ and our staffing is 25% below 2004 levels.  We used to have 40 controllers in the facility which was the authorized staffing number.  We now have 31 ...

USAFA wants good grades.  A 3.30 probably isn't going to cut it.  Do whatever it takes to get a 4.00.  Remember that the average GPA at USAFA is 3.90.  Other than that, it sounds like you are doing well.  Join Civil Air Patrol and talk to your counselor so they can further help you.  AFA doesn't care if you know ...

Hey, It's always cool to see kids preparing for the Air Force early on, like I did.  The Academy really wants well-rounded individuals.  It will really help your chances at getting in if you have a varsity letter from high school.  But that's not all, you have to be staminatic and in very good shape.  USAFA students are ...

One of the most basic requirements of the USAF is being a citizen of the United States.
