Yes, definitely try contacting/reading about CAPT Burbank. I wasn't aware he left the academy this year I had the pleasure of speaking with him at my AIM session last summer and he had some amazing stories.
how would I contact CAPT Burbank if he's left the academy? Where has he gone now?
not trying to bring down the cga or cg... my dads in the coast guard... but if you wanna be an astronaut... consider the air force academy... its easier to become an astronaut out of the air force vs. coast guard... statistically...
