Dear Cadet Candidate Select,<br />
Congratulations on your selection to attend the <strong>United</strong> <strong>States</strong> <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong> <strong>Academy</strong> Preparatory School.<br />
This July you will be taking on a challenging program that will test you mentally and physically. Not all<br />
students complete it, but those who do will not only be prepared for the rigors of the <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong> <strong>Academy</strong>,<br />
but also have a firm foundation for serving the <strong>United</strong> <strong>States</strong> <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong> as officers of character.<br />
As you prepare to attend the Preparatory School, you should know a few things. This is a military unit<br />
and you will be required to adhere to all military standards. We have an outstanding 1 to 4 staff-tostudent<br />
ratio. In comparison to other collegiate or preparatory programs our classes are exceptionally<br />
small allowing our dedicated and professional staff to provide individual attention. The physical portion<br />
of our curriculum is demanding, even more so because of the <strong>Academy</strong>’s location at 7,258 feet altitude. I<br />
strongly urge you to begin a daily routine of jogging ½ to 1 hour a day and doing as many push-ups, situps,<br />
and pull-ups as you can.<br />
A few prohibitions: as required, you have signed a form listing any prior drug use and pledged not to use<br />
illegal drugs. Shortly after you arrive, you will be tested for illegal drug use. Should you test “positive,”<br />
you will be disenrolled. Additionally, underage drinking and providing alcohol to minors are treated as<br />
very serious offenses and will be dealt with harshly. Finally, you may not have any dependents while<br />
attending the Preparatory School.<br />
Must do: please complete the information contained in this package accurately and immediately. See the<br />
Required Items Checklist in this package for a complete list of documents we need you to return<br />
promptly. The form letters are for information only and designed to familiarize you with our program.<br />
Parents and family are encouraged (but not required) to accompany you to in-processing. While here, they<br />
will be briefed in detail about the program. Those unable to attend in-processing may hear a similar<br />
briefing during Parent’s Weekend.<br />
If you or your family have any questions concerning this package or the Preparatory School in general,<br />
please do not hesitate to contact our Director of Student Services at (719) 333-2583.<br />
Again, congratulations on your Preparatory School Selection. We look forward to helping you become<br />
the nucleus of the <strong>United</strong> <strong>States</strong> <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong> <strong>Academy</strong> Class of 2017. Go Huskies!<br />

Cadet Training (BCT) which is approximately 5 weeks.<br />
d. Excess days beyond the time period before BCT will be lost.<br />
8
e. If you do not have any leave remaining after graduation from the Prep School, you will not be paid<br />
during your 5 week break prior to BCT.<br />
ACADEMICS OVERVIEW<br />
a. Grading<br />
1. You will take 4 or 5 courses per 9-week quarter with 4 quarters per year.<br />
2. We use a ½-letter grading system (A, A-, B+, etc.), with course grades for each class and<br />
subjective instructor comments given at the mid-quarter (Prog) and the end of each quarter.<br />
3. Your instructors will provide extra instruction (EI) as needed. Be prepared for a demanding<br />
program based on excellence.<br />
b. Classes<br />
1. During each grading period, you will take two mathematics courses (algebra/math applications<br />
and trigonometry/calculus), one English course, and one science course (chemistry). You will<br />
also have a life/study skills class first quarter and a reading course during one of the final three<br />
quarters.<br />
2. Additionally, you will have mandatory study time each evening, Sunday through Thursday.<br />
Expect 4 hours of homework each day and as many as six quizzes per week. It is critical that<br />
you study on weekends. Most successful students put in 8-12 hours per weekend.<br />
3. All students are required to have their own graphing calculator. Students may own any<br />
brand of graphing calculator, but the Mathematics Department teaches with Texas<br />
Instruments calculators. If you already own a graphing calculator, bring its manual with<br />
you. If you do not currently own a graphing calculator, we recommend you purchase<br />
one before coming to the Prep School. A TI83/83+/84 or other brand of calculator with<br />
comparable capability will meet all math requirements. We do not recommend highordered<br />
(higher cost) calculators such as the TI-89 or 92, since their capabilities are<br />
beyond the requirements of our courses.<br />
4. You will not be allowed to use the TI-89 or equivalent calculator for some assignments or<br />
exams. If you arrive without a graphing calculator, expect to spend $120 to purchase a<br />
calculator immediately following the end of BMT and before classes start. If you have<br />
any questions contact Dr. Schooff at (719) 333-7162.<br />
5. Courses taken at the Preparatory School are solely to prepare you for success at the <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong><br />
<strong>Academy</strong>. Therefore, they are non-accredited and college credits are not awarded. Students<br />
will receive a copy of their student grade transcript upon request.<br />

Once you in-process you will be enrolled in TRICARE Prime. TRICARE Prime is similar to a<br />
civilian HMO. In this program you will be assigned to a Primary Care Manager (PCM) and will<br />
receive all your primary care/specialty care at the <strong>United</strong> <strong>States</strong> <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong> <strong>Academy</strong> Military<br />
Treatment Facility (MTF).<br />
How do I receive primary and specialty care services while at the <strong>United</strong> <strong>States</strong> <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong><br />
<strong>Academy</strong> Preparatory School?<br />
Primary care is received by calling the clinic and making an appointment to see your PCM. If<br />
you require specialty care services for further diagnosis or treatment, you must first see your<br />
PCM and the PCM will submit a referral to access services from specialty practitioners and<br />
coordinate the referral request through TriWest, our region wide Managed Care Support<br />
Contractor.<br />
Primary Care definition – Basic or general health care traditionally provided by doctors<br />
trained in: family practice, pediatrics, internal medicine, and occasionally gynecology.<br />
Specialty Care definition – Specialized health care provided by physicians whose<br />
training focused primarily in a specific field such as neurology, cardiology,<br />
rheumatology, dermatology, oncology, orthopedics, ophthalmology, and other specialized<br />
fields.<br />
�<br />
What happens if I am away from the <strong>United</strong> <strong>States</strong> <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong> <strong>Academy</strong> Preparatory School<br />
and need emergency Care?<br />
If you are outside the local area and require emergency care, go to any emergency room and<br />
identify yourself as an active duty military member under Tri-Care. You must notify your PCM<br />
as soon as you are physically able and make them aware of your situation. If you require urgent<br />
care you need to call your PCM and obtain authorization to seek medical care from the local<br />
urgent care clinic/emergency room. Failure to alert your PCM could result in a Point of Service<br />
charge where you will be responsible for the bill. If this occurs you could submit the claim<br />
through your parents’ medical insurance if you are still a covered beneficiary.<br />
34
Emergency Care definition – Acute symptoms of sufficient severity-including severe<br />
pain-such that a prudent person could reasonably expect the absence of medical attention<br />
to result in placing your health in serious jeopardy, serious impairment to bodily<br />
functions, or serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part. This is often considered<br />
loss of life, limb or eyesight.<br />
Urgent Care definition – Medically necessary treatment that is required for illness or<br />
injury that would result in further disability or death if not treated immediately. The<br />
illness or injury requires professional attention and should be treated within 24 hours to<br />
avoid development of a situation in which further complications could result if treatment<br />
is not received. The most common form is illness or “the flu”.<br />
What happens if I disenroll (voluntary/involuntary) from the <strong>United</strong> <strong>States</strong> <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong><br />
<strong>Academy</strong> Preparatory School before I am enrolled in the <strong>United</strong> <strong>States</strong> <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong> <strong>Academy</strong><br />
4 Year program?<br />
If you choose to separate, it is in your best interest to ensure all medical treatment is received<br />
prior to separation. Any continued care post-separation will be authorized only on a case-by-case<br />
basis (predominantly coordinated prior to separation). If you separate you must understand that<br />
further medical care is your financial responsibility unless you were previously eligible for VA<br />
medical benefits.<br />
Do I need to turn in my medical records?<br />
Medical records criteria will differ depending on your status.<br />
Current Active Duty member (Priors), you will hand carry your original medical records<br />
to the USAF <strong>Academy</strong> and turn it in during the medical portion of inprocessing.<br />
Current Military Dependant or Civilian (Direct Entry), your medical records must<br />
remain at the last base or clinic you were treated. It is highly encouraged you obtain a<br />
copy of those records. You may turn in that copy during the medical portion of your<br />
inprocessing, or you can keep them. You are not required to turn them over to the DoD<br />
medical system.<br />

immune response and protect you from disease. Please keep that in mind when scheduling your<br />
immunization appointments.<br />

MEMORANDUM FOR CADET CANDIDATE SELECTS (Priors and Direct Entries)<br />
FROM: 10th DS/SGD<br />
2355B Faculty Drive<br />
USAF <strong>Academy</strong>, CO 80840-8200<br />
SUBJECT: Dental Requirements for In-Processing<br />
1. Congratulations on your acceptance to the USAF <strong>Academy</strong> Preparatory School. On behalf of the<br />
10th Dental Squadron, I welcome you to the USAF <strong>Academy</strong> and Colorado.<br />
2. It is our desire to ensure that dental concerns do not interfere with your success as an <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong><br />
Preparatory School student. The Preparatory School staff expects that you will arrive here with no<br />
potentially disqualifying medical or dental conditions; mentally, physically and emotionally ready to<br />
begin a vigorous physical and academic Preparatory Class year. Examples of dental conditions that may<br />
prevent you from performing optimally include (1) the presence of wisdom teeth, either erupted or<br />
impacted, that cannot be maintained in a state of health, (2) cavities that may become emergent problems<br />
if not restored immediately, (3) active orthodontic appliances (braces).<br />
3. Active orthodontic appliances are a disqualifying condition for USAFA Preparatory School<br />
admission. Braces must be removed prior to your arrival at the <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong> <strong>Academy</strong> Preparatory<br />
School or you will not be admitted into the program. All orthodontic treatment must be completed<br />
and retainers (if indicated) in place prior to entering the Preparatory School. Don’t forget to bring your<br />
retainers with you!<br />
4. Interestingly, wisdom teeth are the leading cause of lost academic time. I highly encourage you to<br />
visit your family dentist for a thorough dental examination, paying particular attention to the abovementioned<br />
concerns. Correction of all dental defects and removal of wisdom teeth, when indicated,<br />
before arriving at the <strong>Academy</strong> will maximize your dental readiness, minimize lost academic time and go<br />
a long way toward ensuring your success as an USAFA Preparatory School student.<br />
5. Upon arrival at the <strong>Academy</strong>, you will commence with a myriad of in-processing actions including a<br />
dental examination. The USAFA Dental Clinic has recently converted to digital dental radiology. Thus,<br />
unlike in past years, there is no need for you to bring x-rays or a dental record from your civilian<br />
dentist.<br />
6. Again, welcome to the <strong>United</strong> <strong>States</strong> <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong> <strong>Academy</strong> Preparatory School. Be assured that my<br />
dental staff is eager to serve you and will strive to provide the highest level of dental health for you. If<br />
you have questions, my point of contact is Master Sergeant Kelly Links. She can be reached at<br />
kelly.links@usafa.af.mil or (719) 333-5192. Thank you for your attention to these matters.<br />

MEMORANDUM FOR PARENTS<br />
FROM: HQ USAFA/PL-DSS<br />
5220 Cedar Drive<br />
USAF <strong>Academy</strong> CO 80840<br />
SUBJECT: Student Services<br />
1. Hello and welcome to the Prep School Family! I would like to take a moment to speak to<br />
you, the parent, and introduce you to Student Services. As the parent of a cadet candidate you<br />
are now embarking on a long and sometimes confusing journey. Student Services is here to help<br />
you navigate the next 10 months. Many of you may be unfamiliar with the military and all of<br />
our acronyms. For those with a military background, you may have other questions regarding<br />
holiday breaks or Parents’ Weekend information. Regardless of what questions you might have,<br />
Students Services is here for you.<br />
2. The main charter of this office is to serve the cadet candidates and their parents. Among other<br />
things, Student Services oversees Parents’ Weekend, In-processing, Graduation, Student Mail<br />
and Holiday Break Info. We are also the Prep School’s Parent Liaison. If you have questions<br />
about programs or life at the Prep School in general I encourage you to contact my office at 719-<br />
333-2583. Student Services is your one stop information office.<br />
3. One point we would like to stress is that you refrain from sending your son or daughter any<br />
gift packages, cakes, candies, t-shirts, etc. until the day after Basic Military Training is complete<br />
(05 August). Please note that no gift baskets will be delivered to the cadet candidates during this<br />
training period. Once they are done, however, we are sure they would appreciate a gift from<br />
home!<br />
4. Please remind your son/daughter that they will not be authorized to have privately owned<br />
vehicles (POVs) while attending the Prep School. Additionally, if they have dual citizenship in<br />
another country, they will have to renounce that country’s citizenship in our presence and have<br />
that foreign passport officially destroyed by our security manager here at USAFA.<br />
5. Again, I extend to you a hearty welcome to the Prep School family and look forward to<br />
meeting and working with you over the next 10 months. Remember your one-stop destination<br />
for Prep School information … Student Services.<br />

<strong>Fact</strong> <strong>Sheet</strong>: Basic Military Training (BMT)<br />
Mission of the USAF <strong>Academy</strong> Preparatory School:<br />
The mission of the USAFA <strong>Academy</strong> Preparatory School is to motivate, prepare,<br />
and evaluate selected candidates in an academic, military, moral, and physical<br />
environment to perform successfully and enhance diversity at USAFA.<br />
Mission of Basic Military Training:<br />
Basic Military Training (BMT) is an intensive 18-day program designed to<br />
produce disciplined, physically fit and professionally motivated cadet candidates<br />
through a challenging and motivating introduction to the military profession and<br />
the Preparatory School environment. We equip each basic cadet candidate with<br />
the essential military skills and knowledge expected of a cadet candidate.<br />
During inprocessing, each basic cadet candidate takes the Oath of Enlistment and<br />
is enlisted into the <strong>United</strong> <strong>States</strong> <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong>. After the Oath, basic cadet<br />
candidates are escorted to their dorm rooms by <strong>Academy</strong> Military Trainers<br />
(AMTs) who will be their cadre, or primary trainers, for Basic Military Training.<br />
BMT initially focuses on the transition from civilian to military life. AMTs will<br />
instruct basic cadet candidates in military topics including customs, courtesies,<br />
the Honor Code, <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong> heritage, marching, personal appearance, and room<br />
order. Their daily physical conditioning includes strenuous exercises, running,<br />
and competitive sports.<br />
A typical day begins with a 4:30 am wake-up, followed by physical conditioning<br />
and then military training. Three hearty meals are served each day in the Dining<br />
Facility. Intramural sports take place in the afternoon. “Intercollegiate” athletic<br />
teams will begin practicing during the last few days of BMT. Afternoon sports<br />
are followed by briefings on <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong> Core Values, the Honor Code, and other<br />
military topics. Taps occurs at 9:00 pm, ensuring the Basic Cadet Candidates get<br />
plenty of rest for the next day’s challenging events. All of these activities will<br />
condition the Basic Cadet Candidates to meet the physical and mental demands<br />
of the Prep School and prepare them for the academic portion of the program.<br />
BMT culminates in a ceremony where the BMT cadre hand over leadership of<br />
the Preparatory School squadrons to the new cadet candidates.<br />
BMT is not an easy program. It will challenge basic cadet candidates physically,<br />
mentally, and emotionally. But once completed, cadet candidates will have<br />
expanded their limits and will emerge with a deep sense of pride and confidence<br />
in their accomplishments and abilities. They will have taken a first step in their<br />
journey to becoming officers of character in service to their nation.<br />

Dear Parents of Cadet Candidate Selects,<br />
Attending the USAF <strong>Academy</strong> Preparatory School is a unique experience. This experience,<br />
in small measure, is shared with you through Parents’ Weekend.<br />
Parents Weekend will take place during the Labor Day Weekend, 31 Aug – 03 Sep. This is<br />
an annual event not only for the Preparatory School but also for the USAFA <strong>Academy</strong>’s nearly<br />
4,000 cadets. For this reason it is important to make reservations for transportation and lodging<br />
as early as possible. As you can imagine, with the onslaught of so many proud parents and<br />
friends visiting the Colorado Springs area, the availability of airline tickets, hotels, and rental<br />
cars is limited. For local information on hotels, rental cars and local attractions, contact Colorado<br />
R & R. Their phone number is (719) 333-7367 or 1-877-517-3381 (toll free) or<br />
www.coloradorandr.com. Another option available is the Colorado Springs Chamber of<br />
Commerce at www.coloradospringschamber.org.<br />
Several activities are planned for this exciting weekend. Some of these activities include a<br />
Preparatory School campus and classroom visit, a Preparatory School military parade, a<br />
Preparatory School football game, and an <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong> <strong>Academy</strong> football game. In addition to<br />
events specifically provided by the <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong> <strong>Academy</strong>, there are also many tourist attractions in<br />
Colorado Springs to visit and explore.<br />
Although the schedule is not yet fixed, there are several factors that you might want to<br />
consider when making your plans. Parents and family have the opportunity to accompany their<br />
cadet candidate to class on Friday morning…classes begin at 0735 and end at 1130. Cadet<br />
candidates are required to attend our football game on Friday afternoon, the parade on Saturday<br />
morning, and the USAF <strong>Academy</strong> Football game on Saturday afternoon. They will be allowed<br />
to spend the remainder of the weekend with their family and friends until Monday evening. You<br />
may call Student Services for updated information at (719) 333-2583. As stated above, the<br />
schedule is not yet fixed. For this reason the cadet candidates will be briefed after classes begin<br />
in August regarding Parents’ Weekend events. After that briefing, your cadet candidate will<br />
have more information for you concerning specific events.<br />

<strong>Fact</strong> <strong>Sheet</strong>: Parents Weekend<br />
Developing Officers of Character in Service to Our Nation<br />
Welcome to your <strong>United</strong> <strong>States</strong> <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong> <strong>Academy</strong> Preparatory School Parents<br />
Weekend. Parents’ Weekend begins on Friday, August 31 st 2012, and ends Labor<br />
Day September 3 rd 2012. The following information is provided to assist you in<br />
planning for the various Parents’ Weekend Events. Please read the information<br />
carefully so that you can closely plan your Parents’ Weekend with your cadet<br />
candidate.<br />
The students have progressed since you last saw them from being cadet<br />
candidate selects to full-fledged cadet candidates. Basic Military Training has<br />
given them new confidence in a strength many did not know they had. We<br />
believe you will be impressed with the changes you see in them as they display<br />
their military precision during the Parents’ Appreciation Parade and their<br />
academic growth during the Classroom Open house. Then of course there is the<br />
Preparatory School Homecoming Game at Husky Stadium.<br />
Arrival at the Prep School:<br />
Parents arriving from outside the Colorado Springs area are encouraged to arrive<br />
on Thursday, August 30 th 2012, as several of the scheduled events begin the<br />
next morning. Please note that due to military training requirements you will not<br />
be able to visit the Preparatory School or your cadet candidate until the morning<br />
of August 31 st .<br />
Parking and Gate Access:<br />
To get to the Preparatory School Parking Lot, you will want to enter through the<br />
<strong>Academy</strong> South Gate on North <strong>Academy</strong> Blvd. You will be able to enter the<br />
base with your driver’s license.<br />
Weather:<br />
Due to our location on the Rocky Mountain front range and our high elevation,<br />
weather at the <strong>Academy</strong> can be highly unpredictable and change rapidly. The<br />
temperature can vary form the high 80s to the low 40s. We recommend that you<br />
come prepared for both extremes as well as rain or fog and that you bring<br />
sunscreen, clear and unopened liquid bottles (to facilitate security screening),<br />
hats for good weather during the scheduled events, and raincoats/hats for bad<br />
weather. To better plan your visit, visit the <strong>Academy</strong> weather website frequently<br />
prior to your departure at www.usafa.edu/tu/306ftg/oss/weather/sevenday.cfm<br />
