I am going to keep this as short as possible..
I am currently Enlisted, I have been Active Duty for 2 years now. I just turned 20 in October and I am about to finish up my first deployment. I have been considering the USAFA for more than 6 months now and I have made a final decision to pursue a position at the Academy.
My grades in High School were decent...I scored an overall score of 28 on the ACT and graduated with a 3.8 GPA. I didn't take as many AP/Honor classes as I wish I had. I took College Physics, AP Calc etc. and a full course load senior year.
I have scored over a 90 on all of my PT tests so far and I am an avid weight lifter. I have volunteered constantly my entire AF career so far and have done well. I have a deployment under my belt and have done many things over here in Africa. I am in excellent standing at my current workcenter and I have always excelled. (Distinguished Graduate etc.)
So, with that being said...I'm looking for any advice, tips, hints, suggestions or ANYTHING that I should work on to improve my eligibility. For Prior Enlisted, what was the biggest obstacle you had to overcome to gain admission?
