A couple of updates: Meals are no longer complicated; after COVID, they just have you sit down and eat. There isn't anything that complicated. You now get phone calls periodically throughout basic training. In 2020, my basics received like 3 or 4 phone calls.
Hello! I just returned from Summer Seminar at USAFA yesterday and it truly solidified the fact that I want to attend. BCT is quite a nerve racking experience looking forward, but honestly I’d love to even have the chance to go through it. Your videos are awesome and it’s great that you’re giving such insight!! Thanks so much for making content like this!
Yo I dig this! Good job man! I was class of 2019, was disenrolled last Feb... (so sad, *tear falls*), I'm a SrA now stationed at Wright-Patt tho! Anyway! I liked the sense of transparency you had in this video, and kind of calling out how USAFA always paints themselves as this very clean, like, ultra righteous place, when.. well, you know how it is! lol But yeah man keep it up! you got urself a subscriber! ;)
Hey man I recently stumbled across your academy videos! Congrats on going from enlisted to the academy! I am currently about to go in enlisted and I have some questions about the process of going from enlisted to the academy! You are the only one that I know of that went from enlisted to the USAFA. Do you have any social media I can contact you through? Thanks!
I just finished the ATC tech school in December. Trust me when I tell you STUDY YOUR A$$ OFF. Only half of my class graduated on time and the washbacks/outs were those that didnt study. Also put macdill on your dream sheet you won't regret it.
I have a weird, slightly off topic question. I’m going into high school, and I want to attend USAFA after graduating high school. I was wondering whether JROTC is an important/useful class to take. If anyone could help me out, that would be great
I did JROTC all four years in high school before showing up at USAFA. It helped that I arrived knowing basic Air Force history, how to march, and generally what I was getting myself into. However, I wouldn't say it's absolutely necessary. In fact, I was still caught off guard by many of the tasks that were expected of my flight and me. If you're interested in JROTC then I'd give it a chance. Depending on your school's funding, you get to do some awesome things while apart of the program. I flew in helicopters and rappeled off 60ft towers in JROTC. I didn't do either of those things while at USAFA. Goodluck! - C/O 2016
Yeah you can still walk on. In fact, our entire boxing team is made of beginners. They don't recruit boxers specifically at this school. Additionally, every cadet must pass a boxing class in order to graduate
Hi man, can I use the TA while in army and earn my associates and when I leave the army use my 9/11 Bill to earn my bachelors?? Is it possible? Thanks for your time and go bless you!
Do they require you to have two years of a modern language? Like Spanish or French etc.... Will they just deny every time without two years of a modern language?
To apply? No. There are certain suggested courses to take, but you can go through the whole application and USAFA without knowing another language (though, you DO take classes on language.)
yooo cool video here. airman here, since you’ve been thru both, which do you think is harder BMT or academy basic? also are the Cadre enlisted, officers, or cadets? thanks my man
Say you signed a six-year contract in the Air Force and you only completed three years and were excepted to the Academy do you have to complete three years on top of your service requirement from the Academy
So this message might be a little late, but currently I'm a Junior in High school with an overall GPA of 3.0, I'm still working to raise it even further, and I believe by the end of this year and when I graduate I estimate I could have a GPA over 3.7, I've volunteered for the red cross, played soccer for my school, and made varsity in cross country, and I'm gonna take the SAT for the first time this March of 2020. I just want to know if what I have so far is proper to continue with my application process to the academy.
@Zeph thanks for asking but no, also it wasn't really something I wanted, in all ways I did end up in the military but as an enlisted marine instead. Funny to see this old comments lol
Hey guys I would appreciate if anyone answers but I scored a 53 on my asvab and I’m probably going to retake it but does anyone know what types of jobs I’d qualify for or any recommendations?
Honestly, during applications, they made us go get measured but they never used those numbers. We had to be measured on day one. They issue and give you everything you need.
Danny Nelson I feel like it’s cuz they aren’t allowed anymore to bc both Wild Blue and Cambria Lenee (another USAFA RU-vidr) posted for the last time 5 months ago. Maybe it’s just coincidence but I don’t think its likely that they would both randomly quit RU-vid at the same time
Yeah, just be truthful and have a well rounded personality and great grades. You want a great to excellent GPA (but not mandatory...but kindof is. I'm thinking 3.4 and above) Good ACT/SAT scores (I had a little above average) Good physical endurance. Trust me, the altitude DOES make a difference. Just having good physical fitness helps a lot and makes the grinds a little easier. But, the grinds aren't bad with friends around. Have leadership in your pocket, too. Just be involved and show you care and take the initiative at your school or job.
