Well, I went to a presentation on the service academies with my dad.  I got a copy of a congressional nomination form and it is a big packet with a bunch of questions.  There are parts where they'll ask you about your hobbies and achievements and things like that, and that's where you can probably write dow your HAM radio ...

I cant seem to find a sample of a farnsworth lantern test, apparently some people who cant do the PP can do that one, and I would like to see what one even looks like.  Also, would being a certified HAM radio operator be a small plus on admissions?

Hey, I know my question may seem run of the mill but I assure you it's not. I have been lucky enough to have been given some options that people would kill for. But I have a problem or two. You see, some day i'd like to be a fighter pilot (oviasly) but, I live in canada. Now I have been given the option to join air cadets (i'm 15) where I can get ...

Yes, this is a tough case.  You should go and talk to your doctor about this.  Still, if it is only on these tests that your color vision seems to fail you, I can't see why you would not be allowed to fly.  They might even grant you a waiver anyways.  Like I suggested, you should probably go and talk to people who really know ...

Ahah that first test is the one that I cant do, the Pseudoisochromatic Plates.  I dont know about the Farnsworth Lantern tests, I couldnt find a sample of on on the internet, I will keep looking. Anyways I did find a PP example. Go here: http://colorvisiontesting.com/what%20colorblind%20people%20see.htm.  Scroll down to below the maps of ...

I went to the USAFA website www.academyadmissions.com I searched for the policy on colorblindness and I uncovered only this: ''...Successful completion of the Pseudoisochromatic Plates or Farnsworth Lantern color vision tests and the Vision Test Apparatus – Near and Distant (VTA-ND) or Titmus Stereofly or Randot Stereo or Verhoeff depth ...

This is my first post.  I am going into junior year and have really begun thinking about the air force academy.  I am in the top 3% of my class with a 4.4 GPA, in the IB program, and in Boyscouts (I will be Eagle soon, I am working on my project right now). I am running for Senior Patrol Leader in my troop in a few weeks, with no doubts ...

Hi everyone, I've been learning to fly a Cessna 152 single prop and I have accumulated 11 hours flight time. Months ago, I went in for my physical to obtain my medical certificate and during this process, the FAA discovered that I am on a medication called Fluvoxamine 100mg for obsessive compulsive disorder. I do have OCD but it is extremely ...

A little too easy to say anything about your real IQ. It also needs a time limit, but a fun little exercise.

You said something about enlisting and going to OTS.  Remember to make the distinction.  If you want to be an officer do not, repeat, do not enlist.  You just go to OTS.  About the age limits: USAF: Must meet a selection board before age 28 1/2. Must enter Undergraduate Flying Training (UPT) before age 30. USN/USMC: To ...
