What to Expect in the Air Force Academy

[oscarfelix]

My grandson just graduated from the Academy in May. I can say he has grown in confidence so much during the last four years. But I still cannot fully appreciate the rigors he went through academically, etc. because only another who experienced it can. I have such respect for all of the cadets.

My son was not accepted despite being the the only one out of four congressional districts who had earned his CAP Wings. He was a 4.0 student who lettered in two sports. He is also a licensed lifeguard instructor and supervisor. His denial letter stated that there was a "Thorough" background review. In the next sentence the they advised him he needed to take three courses that he had already taken. Had they reviewed his transcripts they would have known this. They also suggested he improve his physical agility scores. He maxed out every category and did more than the minimum. I suppose he could have run a four minute mile? Apparently the pilot shortage is not as important as teaching gender pronouns and CRT.

Let’s ask that one cadet that collapsed on his walk to class, what to expect. Oh wait, we can’t b/c he’s dead. All cadets should expect the same if they took the jab.
