<p>This is a great three-part documentary that I highly recommend you all watch. It will air on the military channel may 7, may 12, and june 14, I’ve seen parts of it before, It covers the admissions process, and has footage of I-day and BEAST, so you all can kind-of know what to expect. And see things from the Carde’s pov. They also cover the summer programs like parachuting and soaring, and then graduation. Check out Discovery Channel’s website and look up the listing to check times.</p>
<p>I loved watching this documentary. Very, very, very interesting. Like Tim1210 said,it shows the admissions process, Beast, and each phase a cadet goes through in all of the military academies, which motivated me even more to work hard and get try and get to this wonderful institution. This documentary is also shown in the military channel, but I forgot what time.</p>
<p>This is great! I saw one episode of this from someone who taped it for me, but did not tape the rest. There were a few threads on CC about this during the fall and I didn't have the Military Channel at the time, but now I do and I can tape it!</p>
<p>I remember watching one of these several years ago. They are definitely very good documentaries.</p>
<p>Thanks! I'm most def. watching.</p>
<p>Oh and we had our sports banquet last night [won d-lineman of the year & scholastic achievement award] and somebody's dad that I'd known all throughout high school comes up to me and goes, "I went to the Air Force Academy too!" and it kinda shocked me. It's just kinda ironic because most people here don't know much about USAFA.</p>
<p>Mark 40, do u play football for the academy? If so when is it a great time for me to email the coaches from the athletic website that i would love to play for them? Im currently a sophomore in highschool and play varsity football and track. I would love to play for either sport(football or track).</p>
<p>Yeah I signed a LOI and I'll be playing for them next year.</p>
<p>As far as recruiting goes, the sooner the better I guess. And be persistent. Make sure the coaches know who you are, and that you are serious about coming and playing.</p>
<p>wait you signed a letter? i didn't think there was a signing at all to play for the academy, other than to accept your appointment obviously, since you're not accepting an athletic scholarship. i'm playing soccer for them next year, we're having a non-signing signing party next week.</p>
<p>Yeah it was more like a certificate of intent... it was non-binding, stating that you had to receive your appointment first, etc. Basically it was just a piece of paper for show.</p>
<p>ok, that makes sense. you had me worried for a second</p>
<p>It's on the Military Channel right now, which sucks because I don't get that channel!</p>
<p>If anyone knows of a showtime on Discovery or Discover HD Theater, please let me know. I'm currently digging through Discovery's show listings on their website, but it's tedious work.</p>
<p>Yeah, if anyone TIVO's it and wants to burn a few DVD's for those of us without the Military Channel, that would be great!</p>
<p>Dknightfam,
I TiVo'ed all three parts and have them recorded on VCR tape. If I have the capability to put them to DVD, hmmmmm...............don't ask! lol </p>
<p>You can email me privately and I can arrange to get the copy to you if you'd like. I can always make another copy as I still have them on my TiVo.</p>
<p>I kinda want to see it as well...I just got off the phone with my mom and apparently she watched it as well. Said hey got some good footage of Recognition, Jump and Soaring, she didn't say what else they had though. It'd be interesting to see from my point of view though.</p>
<p>I've been checking TV listings for channels I have and... erm.... other places one finds television shows and so far no dice. I'll let everyone know if I find something.</p>
<p>I have some of it on my computer as a vid file, im sure i can out parts of it on youtube or something, what parts do you want to see the most? BCT, recognition, jump school?</p>
<p>I'd most like to see BCT. If you want I can seed all of them as torrents for everyone to download instead of doing the youtube thing.</p>
<p>I second zachogden-please make a torrent for it. If you need help on how to do that PM me!</p>
<p>I would also like to see them, preferably BCT, REC, then Jump-soar. :) Thank you for making this available</p>
<p>alright... so um how do i put in on the torrent??</p>
