Need some avice from any AF guys here

This has changed. Pilots no longer need to have 20x20.

Well, that's good to hear for me.
You're allowed to LASIK now, right?

Yeah.  But always, go to medical and make sure.

If you take the SAT/ACT too often, after some point they start averaging your score, IIRC.

Take the PSAT and try one of those courses.  It's worth $100-250 if you improve your score 100-200 points.

I think grades IN the Academy of your choosing matter, too.  My brother had bad grades and was at the end of the line when it came time to pick commands or whatever (USNA).

And like someone said above...run.  A lot.  The cross-country team at my high school was 1/2 populated with guys going to AFA and USNA.  Practice sleep deprivation, folding your underwear and ironing your socks.

Really? Id never heard that before...

Ive taken the PSAT already, the scores come in sometime next month. The sleep deprivation im a master at. Especially in CAP, im on staff at just about every activity and school, so while the cadets dont get more than 6 hours of sleep, we never get more than 1 or 2 planning everything and keeping things running smoothly. The running is my only real weakness. The endurance stuff kills me. Ive been running regularly, but I just cannot get my mile-run below 8 minutes for some reason, no matter how often I practice. The strange thing is, when I got to PTA (Pohakuloa Training Area, alt.: ~6,000 ft) I find it easier to run, and my run time is actually a bit lower while im up at altitude. When I come back down it goes right back into the toilet though

I had a TI who would actually pull out a tape measure to check the 6" fold.

If you think alt helps go riddle. Just saying since its near zero humidity and a little over 6,000 asl. And yes you will spend a good deal on education if you come here without a scholarship right off the bat, but I wasn't a super duper student and I have 30k in financial aid a year. . .  And I wasn't attacking A&M Diablo, I just do not like dumb traditions. The only ones at Riddle are earning your Blues and your BDUs as a freshman, not being able to wear no tuck in shirt for females, no fake shine shoes for underclassmen, can't role sleeves up. Thats it, and most of those are at every other det. The honor corps and Arnold Air Society have a few more traditions. Fun not, Our AAS squadron has won best training program in the nation for 3 or 4 years in a row now, and our honor corps competes against the major academies in drill competitions and wins from time to time. Not bad considering our competition teams are made of only freshmen and sophomores.
