In-processing day. Day 0. The first day of Basic Training, etc.

My son was/is a big fan and started his 2027 academy journey there on Wednesday on I-day! Keep up the great videos, and especially the behind the scenes insights on USAFA and pilot training!

[@80sl-g2p]

USAFA '80 grad here. I was surprised to see you at USAFA. I used to be the OIC for In-Processing Day, so this video brought back many memories. I believe that the last video you posted was from early in IFT in Pueblo, so I expected you'd be at your UPT base now and we'd be seeing that video. Do you have more delay before your UPT report date? Your videos are very good. Keep up the good work.

[@WildBlueYonder]

I finished IFT but my UPT date was delayed until September. So I’m still on casual status at USAFA for a while

[@AstronautAJC]

I watched your videos so much before I joined the AF. BEST DECISION I EVER MADE. Im also looking to commission soon, thanks so much for all the help!!!

[@WildBlueYonder]

Hell yeah, we need more prior enlisted officers!

[@AstronautAJC]

@@WildBlueYonder yes sir!! 🫡

[@noahhoy3575]

[@noahhoy3575]

⁠HI JENNA, LOVE YOU, WISH ME LUCK. I WILL PRAY FOR YOU.

[@micahblackwell5717]

Found out my wife's cousins son started there. Had pictures from I-DAY.

[@dezirayvasquez5542]

I've been watching ur videos for so long now, Im currently applying for a second time to USAFA and I'm confident in what I'm doing but still nervous! any tips or tricks u could pass on lol?

[@mightymj1095]

I’m a little nervous about entering basic military training at the Air Force academy prep school and I was wondering though your experience how did you got the nomination?

[@WildBlueYonder]

When you graduate from the Prep School, you'll need to be re-nominated by your local senator or congressman (or the President, technically). However, if you're not nominated for some reason, then the Prep School Commander also has the authority to nominate you. But if you graduate from the Prep School, you're more or less guaranteed a nomination.

[@MandrilSolo]

How was your flying assessment experience Lt. ? Did you enjoy the Diamond.

[@WildBlueYonder]

It was a lot of fun, I'll post some more videos about IFT this week

[@MandrilSolo]

Lt. Are you going to be there next week for the Preppers? Cheers .

[@WildBlueYonder]

Unfortunately not, I’ll be busy that day
