DAY IN THE LIFE: sophomore at the Air Force academy

[@cindyrolle6476]

Thank you for making these videos. I love seeing everyone, especially those that look like us. I’m retired Air Force enlisted. Didn’t see many AF academy female grads that were of color while I served. I want my granddaughters to have the same opportunities. Bless all of you.

[@ZoeIwu]

Thank you ma’am :)

[@knb1880]

Seems like sports make life a little more normal at the academy. I’m going to USMA for football, love your videos.

[@redtazdev1768]

This is my dream school, thanks for making these videos.

[@dadobean878]

I'm a junior in high school who's interested in the Airforce Academy though I've always been worried I wouldn't be happy with my choice. Though your videos are giving me comfort and inspiration to apply for the academy. I really enjoy the videos so please keep making them! :)

[@doom.d.a.y6900]

Same, junior in high school, I'm excited to start the academy.

@@user-dj1ly5se2u How’s it going?

[@JS-vo7sw]

Can you explain when you are allowed to leave base and wear civilian clothes? I love watching these videos!!

[@ZoeIwu]

As a sophomore we have unlimited weekend passes so we can leave for the whole weekend every weekend, and we can wear civilian clothes after our military duties (school/after retreat) for the most part!

[@JS-vo7sw]

I didn’t know that, thank youuu

[@Apocalyptic_Taco]

I have been thinking that I am going to apply for the Air Force academy, and these videos are just making me want to go even more!

[@quentintheriot18]

Any advice for applying? I’m going to be a senior and am applying. Still need to get my congressional endorsement. But man if I don’t get in I’m gonna try for ROTC.

Greetings from the korean naval academy! Your Usafa vids makes me wanna change to the airforce lol

[@ariy8790]

This is nostalgic from last year😄

[@issaysillva]

Can foreigners also get admitted into this college? ( Actually, I am a foreigner and have a desire to attend this college. I would also like join the US military (Air force) to serve the country. But, I don't know they will provide me this opportunity or not.☹️. So, it will be grateful if someone answers this question.)

[@janayjohnson4048]

You need to first ensure to be affiliated in your country military preferably the cadet program and apply

[@aviate7383]

What are the requirements to join other than academic requirements? Is it true you need a note from a senator?

[@calebbaudia]

Yes! I am currently in the application process :) A recommendation from your senator/congressman, you have to do considerably well on the CFA (Candidate Fitness Assessment) and you have to go get your DoDMERB Medical! While that's not all that there is to do, once when you receive your "Candidate Kit," there will be a list of stuff to do and interviews to be conducted. In the application process, there's a lot of activity slots and awards and clubs and positions and people that you need to prove/get recommendations from/have examples where you demonstrate various qualities etc. If you're interested, work hard to maintain decent grades, GET INVOLVED and show leadership!

[@amelia_c1750]

what is your major?

[@ZoeIwu]

I’m a biology major :)

[@heatherlory99]

@@ZoeIwu are you planning to go into the medical field? If so how would you go about that while at the academy?

[@ZoeIwu]

@@heatherlory99 I’m not, but for those that want to, they usually take the bio chem route and then the academy has slots for those who will go to medical school and if you get a slot then the academy pays for it, (the service requirement is longer since they payed for more of your school) I’m pretty sure that’s how it works but I’m no expert.

[@nicholas1323]

what gpa did u have to have in highschool to get in ?

[@loganwelch8278]

I’m really considering joining usafa. Do you wish you chose a different school?

[@ZoeIwu]

I do wonder what my life would be like if I did choose another school but I am happy where I am :)

Yes but for the first two years most of it goes back to paying for the things you are supplied with, room and board, uniforms, etc:
