[@ryanbacani4292]

Congrats man

[@EGRIDDY]

Dang bro! Congrats! That’s insanely early!

[@Sacchith]

You probably don’t remember but I got a picture with you at the Memphis game! Crazy to think a little over a year ago my mom and I were watching your videos. Your videos were what introduced me to service academies in the first place. I was fortunate enough to get into USMA, USAFA, and USNA, and I chose USNA cuz we’re obviously better! Go Navy, beat Air Force!

[@SamEckholm]

So cool to hear! Was a pleasure meeting you.

[@davidwolf226]

Sam, being a Navy man from decades ago, thank you for sharing this wonderful walk down memory lane.

[@EPGs0]

Thanks for talking to me at the Air Force-Navy game a little bit ago Sam, and thanks for letting me know about this video you had coming out soon. Loved it, and can’t wait to start my apps to both academies in a few short months!

[@SamEckholm]

Best of luck!

I’m a junior in high school and I’ve been pursuing naval aviation for the past 2 years and 5 months. The naval academy is my dream school, and I’m set to talk to my Blue and Gold Officer this weekend about the summer seminar. Awesome video, love to see the academy!

[@raymond3855]

Good luck my friend.

[@TheChowster]

I was one of the "drags" that was at the Naval Academy for candidate visit weekend while you were filiming. That's actually the back of my head pointing you out to my plebe who stops and looks back in the bottom left of 18:19!! I had to do a double take when I saw you filming everyone walking into King Hall! Love the video and I hope to be there for real soon (knock on wood)!

[@Patt-jx6zh]

I have grown up in Annapolis Maryland and I have been blessed to get to wrestle the naval midshipman this past summer and I have started working to join the marine corps

[@pilot701]

my father is in the air force and i have done a lot of cool stuff but you bring the cool stuff to the people that don't have the chance so thanks Sam

[@Hurst6969]

It is absolutely criminal what has happened to the US military standards have been flushed down the toilet

[@darrelljensen3953]

Proud of all who attend the United States Naval, Air Forces, Coast Guard Academy. But my heart and love is the Cadets who attend the United States Military Academy at West Point. The oldest and one of the most beautiful schools in the United States. Most visited. And as they say at West Point. GO ARMY BEAT NAVY

[@ScarypatVr]

I am a son of an army ranger thanks for giving info on other military branches and units

[@SportCavee]

Wow the campus is truly beautiful. Never been a big fan of the navy (I'm more of an Air Force / Marine Corps person) but this was really impressive, especially Bancroft hall.

[@Timmy-kb3nf]

Marines are navy though

[@wapple3770]

@@Timmy-kb3nf There's still a distinction in classification, and I think he was making it pretty apparent that he was referring to them as seperate entities

I was able to spend a semester there through the S.A.E.P. in 2016 and you did a wonderful job showcasing the USNA. Despite my short time there it is a time full of memories and good times with all the new friends I made.

You’ve got to bring some light to forgotten aspects of the military man, this video was amazing, and I think could really get some eyes on places nobody looks!

[@msabol01]

Props to you for going all in at USNA, hope your AF classmates don't give you grief for sporting Navy gear....Beat Army!!

Oh please be thankful that you are not what has happened to the us military over past four years is not less than criminal Imagine a pilot flying a multi billion dollar aircraft determined by the color of skin or sexual preference they allow men in female bathrooms so imagine that

Love they got the Zoomie wearing Navy gear and cheering the Mids on at the football game!

[@donaldparlett7708]

Being an Annapolitan native the Naval Academy is what I grew up with. It started on 1973 with sponsoring 13 mids and adding more over the years.me well I served 6 years in the Army.

[@TheBrokenKING_og]

Could you maybe do a video with advices for people from other countries who want to join the air force and become a pilot? I researched a bit becasue it is my dream but i can‘t find informations that are easy understandable to me or lack of information. So i would love to see a video on a guide like you did 4 years ago, just that it now would be with tipps for people from other countries.

[@melissabowers6268]

Blue and Gold Baby! GO NAVY, BEAT ARMY (And Air Force too, even though I love you Sam!) Proud navy family, three generations, all naval officers, with my brother being the third generation officer still in as a Lt Commander PAO officer. They didn't go to the Academy but a LOT of great family friends have!
