[@andycho264]

I am so glad that you are a cadre this year. My daughter is in BCT.

[@realistindenial]

My son is also in BCT. He's not in WBY's flight though. #usafa2024

[@MarkWusinich]

Aggressors Bravo! 2024

[@ericcastillo-wilson5703]

Thank you for your videos. My son is currently in BCT at USAFA and I watched a lot of your videos while he was applying. You are a great source of information and a great role model for perseverance and hard work. As you know, most people would have given up on their dream after a couple years. YOU DID NOT! Great Job!

[@derekbond3824]

Thank you and continue to post. I was stationed at Minot and made Sr. Airmen Below The Zone when I was stationed in England.

[@allenlourenabeale4872]

This was so fun to watch. I started following you a couple years ago and to watch your growth is inspiring!! I’m so excited for you. My DD is currently, down the hill, at the prep school. It is nice to hear the perspective of a cadre. I hope next year you will be her cadre. Take care of yourself and I look forward to your next post.

[@legallion9564]

First, Thank you for your service ! One of my oldest daughter has now applied to re-enter the USAF as a JAG officer and another daughter is now in USAFA Prep School. I talked to them about what I gleaned from your very inspiring videos. Never giving up and that you applied 4 times to get into USAFA. You demonstrate the true American Spirit.

[@prestenbeals3973]

I'd love to go to the air force academy when im older. It's been my dream to be a fighter pilot and I've been trying to learn as much as I can

[@derekbond3824]

You need to try

[@denvercolorado811]

One thing I didnt learn at the zoo but I learned reading Marcus Arelius is that leadership is charismatic appearance and voice tone plus experience and credibility (integrity) and ppl will seek direction from you.

[@scoty40]

I'm so proud of you keep up the good work Sir

[@Drakeman2003]

If you are not a person of absolute integrity, stay on my bus. If you are not willing to sacrifice for your country, stay on my bus. If you accept the minimum as your personal standard, stay. On. My. Bus. But basics, if you are ready to dedicate yourselves to something greater than us all, to selflessly develop yourself as a warrior and to fight for this great nation, then basics, pick up your bags and GET OFF MY BUS!"

[@Drakeman2003]

Sir/ma'am, the seven basic responses are as follows; yes,sir; no, sir; no excuse, sir; sir, may I make a statement; sir, may I ask a question; sir, I do not understand; and sir, I do not know.

[@smokymountain2234]

❤️👍🙏🇺🇸 proud of you!!! And thanks for serving ! God bless USA 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸

[@kilroyfrills3084]

Off topic but, this is my first time seeing rolled sleeves on OCPs.

[@GlitteryGaydinosaurs]

It’s called heatcat 5 in the army

[@Brndn1823]

I’ve have been really considering joining the Air Force for about 2 months now and you have been a great source of information and you have really inspired me to actually want to follow through. Keep making the videos love the content

[@charliediradour]

United We Endure. Go Guts. Thanks for keeping an eye on our future.

[@averydollarhide9052]

He's Back!! -PECA '23er

[@kaylynm4193]

So good to see you. Thanks for vlogging an update. Glad you are doing so well. 😀👍

[@Eyeforphotographer4002]

I love your videos keep up the work and hope to see more soon. I got a buddy that’s at academy right now for basic training his named is Jackson cook. And I am currently working on going enlisted into the Air Force

[@sarahjones4364]

So cool! My daughter is at BCT at USAFA right now and she's watched your videos. I'm sure if you were yelling at her during I-Day, it took everything she had not to say, "OMG you're Wild Blue Yonder!"

[@sarahjones4364]

Go Hellcats!

[@tylerdodson124]

Finally, you’re back

[@michaelainman]

Wow, I thought being an RA in college was a lot... guess Cadre wins! Great update and what's good Tenesha!

[@mitchellmoore557]

Congratulations on your success my brother. I would like to speak to you whenever you have a chance.

[@yourmilitarymoney]

Good seeing you Mitchell!

[@micahblackwell5717]

Like the series since I tried to go the same route you did ( enlisted Army) but hit the age cut off after my last deployment and I was married but my younger brother is in flight school waiting to start phase 1. I live in Parker CO btw

[@andycho264]

I am so glad that you are a cadre. You are one of the few we followed to get a grip of what to expect. My daughter is in Guts. Is there any way I can private message you? I would appreciate if you can give a pat on her shoulder...

[@RedPillSailor]

Congrats & much respect WBY!

[@lorriefoltz8443]

Congrats on your progress Matthew.

[@cassieamaya9744]

Congrats!! That position suites you!! 🙌

[@MadcowMania]

Hope you're teaching them about the dangers of toxic leaders, and the detrimental effects it has on Airmen's lives.

[@rogerd777]

Outstanding sir I am sure you are doing a great job!

[@bershellhall1524]

Awe,Im so proud of you ! 💞💓💕

[@screechez]

You'll be a great leader

[@isaacpoteet248]

I'm gonna take a guess on the car make and model based off the interior. Who's in? I'm saying Chrystler 300 I'm thinking the back glass gives it away. I could be wrong tho. Great to see another video. Inspiration for sure.

[@_ileaj_]

Also I actually really like the newer uniforms, they look niceee

[@alphameltheonly9382]

Hey. Congrats on the journey upward. I need to speak with you if possible. My family and I are experiencing something AF related and i need someone that will give us blunt honesty. Let me know a way i can speak and/or message you the details. Thank you for all the knowledge and content.

[@nowackytobaccy2943]

I went to meps yesterday and I swore in I’m excited

[@yourmilitarymoney]

Keep rising Matt!

[@tachometer-flac]

The video title is best leadership experience. Nowhere do you talk about that. You're going to be a great leader. I'm sure you'll stand out.

[@prestenbeals3973]

Like your videos

[@PAPIOSO908]

Hell yea u back

[@evanross1386]

I like how I can actually read your name tapes!😂

[@traecabooker1505]

Hey! Glad to see your video post.

[@traecabooker1505]

Hey Tenisha🚗

[@Followerofchrist2091]

How do you like them OCP’s Lol.. ? Vs ABU’s?

[@_ileaj_]

Mateooooooooo !! It's been a minute!

[@shanedevault468]

Can't wait to see them put on your Officer rank, you're a squared away troop.

[@bigballer1790]

When did you join the Air Force

[@asmrkeels1]

Is it possible to enlist, then apply for the academy if you already have college credits?

[@AdamMb312]

Say hello to my boy Levi, he’s a freshman right now.

[@kailambchops5099]

I have a question abt jrotc is it possible to not preform at games and stuff in front of people or is that mandatory

[@kailambchops5099]

I mean like the gun flip thing and stuff

[@mysterymayhem7020]

I guess this is an interesting question for you, but when you finally graduate will you be able to continue along the same career field that your prior afsc was associated with, albeit for officers?

[@tpeas2452]

Is the Academy issuing OCPs now?

[@classicrockandcars]

Yup, c/o 24 was the first to be issued them upon arrival. Everyone else got issued a couple sets.

[@rachelkubenka764]

Great video if you dont mind me asking when do you become a cadet non commissioned officer and is everyones rank your year the same rank ?

[@WildBlueYonder]

I became a cadet NCO in my 2 Degree year. Your rank at the Avademy is determined by your job/ class year

[@airmanfloyd719]

@@WildBlueYonder Is there is way I can contact you with some questions about enlisting. Thanks

[@aviator_z9188]

Awesome!!!

[@silenttreatment2537]

What if you fail prep school or the academy as a prior enlisted airmen, are there any repercussions?

[@thebox2278]

You're going to be a general some day

[@johnjosephtiller1018]

You heard it first on yt

[@brendan7256]

Where are you stationed at?

[@haydendodge2378]

Is your position kind of like a flight sergeant?

[@amongusmarkII]

You guys get to roll your sleeves up?

[@uncovergaming152]

I just enlisted in the Air Force and I was wondering how do you get into USAFA from being prior enlisted?

[@uncovergaming152]

Dexter C I was just wondering if you had to finish your first enlistment before you were able to? Also what was your enlisted AFSC.

[@mac212]

does anyone know if he went 4 years in the Airforce then went into the USAFA?

[@elmayimbe6654]

6yr in Af then Academy

[@janiquarandall]

Handsome man

[@xkupi]

How old are you?

[@Hunter.McKinney]

Congrats on getting those car privileges! Hopefully you're not making the walk to lower 2-dig parking on the Vandy side.
