"He'll be going to the US Air Force Academy!" Reply: "Oh, that's nice...um, what exactly is that?"
At DIA:
Passenger: Excuse me. When does the flight leave?
DD: I don't know, ma'am. I don't work for the airlines.
Passenger: Then why are you wearing a uniform?
DD: Because the President told me to.
there are people that honestly dont know the academies exist or just know about west point or navy. there are some people that know a little bit but think they know more; and there are some people that know a lot and are genuinely excited about the news. unfortunately there doesnt seem to be much of a drive to advertise/showcase the academies and the only time they make the news is because something negative happens. kinda sad if you ask me. we actually didnt know about AFA until junior year so we were one of those ignorant people lol.This thread brings to mind something that Abraham Lincoln once said: "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt."

*sighs* unfortunately, it's very true. As a young female who is soon going to USAFA, I sometimes tell people I get in, and their face gets dead serious. "Just be careful there, Bailey. You've heard about..." and they proceed to warn me about various scandals at the academies.there are people that honestly dont know the academies exist or just know about west point or navy. there are some people that know a little bit but think they know more; and there are some people that know a lot and are genuinely excited about the news. unfortunately there doesnt seem to be much of a drive to advertise/showcase the academies and the only time they make the news is because something negative happens. kinda sad if you ask me. we actually didnt know about AFA until junior year so we were one of those ignorant people lol.

went to the NYC today and every time we passed by those apartments with doormen, i burst out laughing as I remember this post! I cannot look at another doorman straight in the eye ever againJust wait until your DS is mistaken for a doorman or the curbside baggage guy when he is waiting for you to pick him up curbside at your hometown airport when he comes home on Christmas break 4th class year wearing his doolie/plebe uniform and overcoat ...
Happened to me ...
Hahaha! Just hang out at BWI during the season and you might see them! Not all of us were 6' but I would say close to 2/3 of the team was when I was there. I was not one of them.
