Summers at USAFA?

[@krisstrong5936]

enlisted ask me all all the time what it's like to be an officer. I tell them all the same thing.... How dare you speak to me. I kid I was down at the 10th medical group yesterday. that base is friggin gorgeous.

[@mickeyscv67]

You should become a public affairs officer....marketing and PR for the USAFA

[@hephaestus511]

He wants to be a pilot.

[@mickeyscv67]

That’s cool

[@Mysteryqueen86]

I like how you explained things I do enjoy this vlog

Another great vid wild blue yonder. You said some programs are competitive. Any idea how cadets are racked and stacked? Guessing academics (GPA), leadership (flight ranking, k- tests), and sports (CFA, D1 sports, intramural, etc)? Also, do cadets have a choice of which 3 week block they get leave? Obviously, it is built around other class schedules. Is Airmanship (jump) offered all 3 sessions?

[@Wootwoot276]

How cadets are racked and stacked (known as Order of Merit): There are 3 main pillars at USAFA --> Academics, Athletics and Military. Each cadet's order of merit is composed of all three of these aspects. Academics is 60%. Military is 30%. Athletics is 10%. (according to USAFA Registrar Curriculum Website) Academics: academics classes and physical education classes Military: leadership within Cadet Wing, leadership classes Athletics: PFT, AFT, and physical education classes Summer: Cadets get to put in preferences as to what they want for each period. Whether you get what you want depends on a variety of factors (order of merit,scheduling conflict,etc). Airmanship, to include jump, soaring, RPA etc, are offered all 3 periods of the summer.

Very good explanation

[@jakedennis984]

I’ll be Class if 2023 and want to do spec ops. Does the Academy get slots to go to military schools over the summer such as airborne, SERE, Scuba and others?

[@WildBlueYonder]

Not sure. But there are clubs that do those sort of things (I think there are membership fees)

[@k.b.5079]

I assume you graduated! CONGRATULATIONS 🫡🇺🇸

Thinking about joining the AF or Army rn...but i heard army lets u pick your job so....??

[@jakedennis984]

Oreo Gaming any branch will let you choose your job. Are you talking about service academies or enlisting?

[@oreodood4978]

@@jakedennis984 enlisting straight out of High School.

[@jakedennis984]

Oreo Gaming Any branch will let you choose your job, but any branch can also choose where they send you. They’ll take into consideration what you want but at the end of the day it is the military and if they have certain needs they’ll put you where they want

Man should I get a quick degree in BMS (multidisciplinary studies) - aviation or finish my degree which is (Aviation - Professional Flight) I plan on going to OTS and putting my package in when im 365 days out from my degree.

[@Eyeforphotographer4002]

I have a question I want to go to the Air Force academy but I am currently in college what is my opportunity to get to the academy or the Air Force

[@WildBlueYonder]

You can submit an application to USAFA just like a high school student would. If you want to enlist, then you would have to speak to a recruiter about starting that

[@Eyeforphotographer4002]

Thanks keep up the hard work on the video and the Air Force academy

[@TAnimations]

Would it be a good idea to be enlisted in the air force with a career that has a 4 year contract and with the GI bill program, attend college and get my bachelors degree once my contract ends, then try to become a pilot or go through the USAFA and graduate with a bachelors degree then try to become a pilot? I am asking this because my way is much easier, and it is very difficult to get accepted into the USAFA. Any tips?

[@my.language.adventure]

thanks for this video!! :) really helpful

[@ExclusivelyMani]

Can you talk more on sports I’m E4 and want to play basketball for the academy but I want to no if it’s worth it

[@lancefoxtrot7129]

Do you have any social media so i can talk to you?

[@interruptedable]

What career are you going for?

[@WildBlueYonder]

Pilot

[@mariocardenas239]

Hey does going into the academy tap into your gi bill?

[@arielxx8771]

Commenting in case someone responds

[@0utlawactual363]

It really shouldn’t. If you get accepted into the academy you’re basically all in on their behalf. If that’s the case they would have charged people to attend

[@WildBlueYonder]

It does not. I still have my GI Bill

[@marvinren861]

Notification squadron! Also just luck

[@painresu]

DOPE! more videos!

[@masonwestphal7232]

Do you have cadets transfer in from ROTC detachments for a semester?

[@WildBlueYonder]

Yes! And vice versa

[@aseanandre]

Do they still have space summer program?

[@WildBlueYonder]

Yes

[@thebowenarrow3166]

Will you be required to become a cadre?

[@Wootwoot276]

There are different kinds of cadre= BCT, ESET,Summer seminar, and I believe sports camp. The summers before your junior and senior year you are required to have 1-2 leaderships (any of the ones I mentioned earlier)

[@fvckpink4206]

EsET sounds delicious and fun
