Long time fan of stuckmic, and figured it was time to give something back. Here's a bunch of stuff I collected while at the academy. Some of it's probably outdated now, but here it is anyway.
I don't claim ownership of all this stuff. Some of it was given to me by instructors, some was passed around by students, some was found on this site, and some I made myself. If you want to take it and modify it, great. If you find problems or mistakes, fix them yourself and upload it back on this site.
Here's what I got, in alphabetical order:
AAC Desktop Wallpaper - Made from the AAC map someone had already posted on this site. It's 1920x1080.
Academy Airport Maps - These were really helpful. Found them here on stuckmic. Lots of versions. If you've got illustrator, then you can open the PDFs and play with them. You can print them out at any scale, so you could make your own tabletop with them, like I saw some do.
Academy Posters - Pictures of some of the study aids posted on the walls at the academy.
FAA Academy Journal - I wrote this while at the academy, and I know some stuff has changed since then, but it might be helpful. It's a day to day account of the tower cab class. It's long, like 25 pages or something, but it's the kind of account I wish was on here before I went to the academy. It's not the greatest, so take it for what it's worth, but there's a lot of info in there.
Study - Academy Airport Introduction - Powerpoint explaining all about the academy airport layout, how the academy works, and how aircraft arrive. VERY HELPFUL for newbies like me. Also includes a list of all aircraft you'll see at the academy and the VFR abbreviations for the aircraft types. The powerpoints are in Office 2010 format, I had some issues getting it to work on my 2003 version of Powerpoint, but once I upgraded it worked fine. Same goes for all the rest of the powerpoints.
Study - Academy Map - This is meant to be used like a flash card. Turn on the presentation, and click through the answers to study with it. Not meant to be just printed out, but it can be.
Study - Academy Phraseology - This is nearly all of the phraseology you need to know to begin with at the academy. It outlines the preferred taxi routes, arrival procedures, and how they want you to say it. I think it's verbatim from an academy handout, except this one has illustrations, which make it way better!
Study - Wake Turbulence - Wake turbulence sucks, and this one isn't as clear as some of the others, but I'll add it here anyway.
Anyway, enjoy it FWIW. Good luck at the academy!
