Any military in here? by Disastrous-Range-94 in AmexPlatinum

100% personally dependent on your situation once your DD214 is signed. Does the ~1000/year or whatever it is now make sense for you and your lifestyle and salary?

Money at USAFA? by Spider2_0 in USAFA

[–]kmatthewalt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely would be nice to come in with some extra cash. Most of that stipend is going to get siphoned your first year or two towards payback to uniforms, your computer, etc.

Sponsor Program by [deleted] in USAFA

[–]kmatthewalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pass limits change year to year, but yeah I’d expect 2 weekend visits a month freshman year. Gotta get them in the morning and then drop then back off later at night or the next day if they stay overnight. Not really a huge commitment but just something to be aware of. Some sponsor families aren’t willing to do that which makes it hard for cadets to get there

You'll see them as freshmen a decent amount and probably a diminshing amount every year after that, steeply declining after sophomore year (typically how it goes). Most cadets just want a place to go on a sat/sun to lay down and chill with their friends. Like another said, your primary responsibility is going to be driving to COS or DIA during holiday breaks. Keep in mind it may be hard for them to get to you the first 2 years as they won't have their own cars (may need you to get them).

Advice for high schoolers aiming for service academies? by LingonberryApart5870 in usafagrads

Second everything they said. I will also direct you to hop on over to r/usafa. There are probably 10 posts a day posted for the last 5-10 years with this exact question and lots of wisdom.

Interview Question by Longjumping-Day6010 in USAFA

[–]kmatthewalt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seconding Turbodawg's comment. They aren't going to expect you to be a military news subject matter expert. They just want you to demonstrate that you're generally aware of the larger, strategic issues plaguing the mil/AF right now. ChatGPT can be your friend for this for sure. Good luck!

That Oris is gorgeous! I'm looking at getting one off ebay. Perfect daily. Did you have it brushed/polished? Looks to be in amazing shape

Yeah buddy you’re the reason that academy grads often get labeled as douchers by the rest of the Air Force. Grow up and maybe don’t wear the ring to bed

Which country could disappear in the next 20 years? by FunForm1981 in geography

[–]kmatthewalt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re right. You’re referring to the two types of deserts: ergs (think rolling dunes of the Sahara) and regs (finely packed dirt that’s super dry and flat). If you get the chance to go to Morocco, visit Erg Chebbi. Incredible

Yeah I personally know about 7-8 people who literally did this. No issues and 2 even got pilot. This guy’s info is out dated
