Found this on another site. Use it for reference if you would like; I found it useful.
1. When did you first become interested in the Air Force Academy and serving in the Air Force? What started your interest? What Air Force career field do you hope to enter? What do you expect to gain from the Air Force Academy experience and how will it help you in your Air Force career? (300 words max)
Commitment, service, and sacrifice; my father honorably served in the United States Navy bearing these burdens. “I let the American people down”. –Richard Nixon, 1977. Nixon allowed his own interests to overcome himself; he ultimately failed as president and left an entire nation in pity. However, one’s failure leaves another with the opportunity of success; unlike Richard Nixon, I do not plan on failing anyone. Two of my siblings have attended the United States Air Force Academy and I know the heightened caliber of what many expect from a military college is like no other. A stressful yet propitious environment, never ending cadet management, the dedication to serve; all to help mold young cadets in being future leaders for America. Not only do I like challenges but, I am confident that the United States Air Force Academy will offer these life goals I am struggling to pursue; continual service to the community, an exemplary leadership ability, and self sacrifice. These attainable goals would allow me to contribute to America’s growth and prosperity effectively, just like past leaders have done. I have always dreamed of pursuing a career in the Air Force Security Forces, protecting military property and personnel from harm. Sacrificing my personal safety for the gift of life will bear me the great honor bestowed to those who have passed and served in the military. Refined leadership skills provided from the Air Force Academy will allow me to mentor others in choosing the ethical decisions for life, guided to become the next generation of leaders. The process will be tremendously difficult to achieve however, believing that I have already made the necessary preparations from past experiences in my life, I know I will achieve this feat.
