Pictures

<p>Here’s one I have, I’ll get more this weekend.</p>

<p>I am working on a photography album of the campus. once I have a decent amount of pictures, I'll post a photobucket here for you aspiring 2011ers. :P</p>

<p>So you get a blanket in your class color? And what's on your bulletin board? I didn't know that four digs were allowed to have pictures or anything up in their room. I always thought it was an inspection risk (haha)...</p>

<p>We can have unlimited pictures on the backboard as long as each corner has a pin in it. We can have 2 personal items on the desk (any flat surface parallel to the ground). Follow those rules and you are ok.</p>

<p>Each class has class colored blankets and the border of the blue comforter has our class color. Yours will be yellow, our current firsties. That will feel strange for a bit.</p>

<p>Can you open your closet without moving the bed?</p>

<p>um, yes. lol, my bed isn't that close. If the doors are open at 90 degrees, then the drawers don't fit all the way out, otherwise its ok.</p>

<p>Our rooms are fairly nice, actually. The only bummer is when you're in a 3 man room (or 3 girls to a room...although that doesnt happen nearly as much, since there are so few girls to fill the girls' rooms). In that case, you have to fit 3 desks in there and you have a bunk bed in there as well...and you don't get those extra chairs in your room.</p>

<p>All the freshmen in my squadron except for 4 of them have to be in 3 man rooms because noone quit in basic...kept a pretty large number of guys. :)</p>

<p>Is it common for people to quit during basic? I can't believe it! After all that work to get there...</p>

<p>I actually hope that I am put in a room with two other girls. I know, I'm weird.</p>

<p>About 5% of each admitted class will drop out during basic. Most of those 5% realize that this is not the place for them and quit.</p>

<p>Three person rooms are not as nice. They can feel crowded very easily. Also, there is less room to store things.</p>

<p>A lot more quit during freshman year or get kicked out...kinda sad, really. Also, another big time to quit is right before junior year, since once you start it you're committed to the Air Force for good.</p>

<p>Yes, I had heard that many cadets are booted from the academy on honor code violations. That is pretty sad, although I am glad that there is virtually zero tolerance for cheating, plagarism, etc. at USAFA. In my interview with my BGO for the Naval Academy, he said that it is not as strict there. If you see a midshipman violate the honor concept, then you don't necessarily have to report it. I think people should get kicked out on the first offense. They aren't right for any service academy if they don't have their own moral code that keeps them in line. I can't believe some would just up and quit halfway through. That's a lot of hard work to waste...</p>

<p>Guy4Christ, when do you think you will have some pictures up. Im really excited to see some current ones, instead of the ones you see all over the internet. Thanks!</p>

<p>I'll put what I have up right now...as of now all I have is some nightime shots of the chapel and terrazo...im working on getting some daytime and perhaps some sunset/sunrise ones up soon. The main thing that's hard for me is getting pictures during events like formations and such...since I'm a freshman. I'll do what I can though...hopefully each week I have a few new ones to put up.</p>

<p>Here's my photobucket link. Just go to "USAFA Campus" subalbum...the rest are photography albums and then basic training (if you're interested in that one too.)</p>

<p>Some of those pictures are utterly.....beautiful. Are you poing to put any pictures up of your room? Thanks one again!</p>

<p>Yes, they are beautiful. I think the chapel is one of the most beautiful buildings I have ever seen. Nine more months!!! I have a countdown started in my room. ;)</p>

<p>Here are a bunch from parent's weekend. The fuzzy ones are even earlier from a disposable camera. </p>

<p>At the end, the silver desk is our CQ desk.</p>

<p>it says we have to log in with a password, do we need to create an account?</p>

<p>Hum, well, so that we don't have to worry about that:</p>

<p>What were the Minnesota Viking Cheerleaders doing at the Academy........and in your room or w/e? ;)</p>

<p>They came to see the cadets apparently...I guess we're just famous. :P</p>

<p>Good news on my pictures of the campus: I got a tripod over the weekend, so that should mean better pictures. :-D</p>
