So does that mean that when you leave the military it no longer applies? I thought I heard something about it applying for people who receive retirement benefits. Is this true? Thanks for the help!

Hello. I'm interesting in going into the Air Force and I'm a little confused about the speech limitations in UCMJ. I'm completely obsessed with politics... so would I never be allowed to run for any kind of office? How did John Mccain run for senator and than president? What about...

Hello. I'm interested in becoming a pilot, intelligence officer, or engineer for the Air Force, and I was wondering if with any of these careers I would be able to interact with locals at the country where I'd be stationed? What jobs are best if you want to get a good idea of what the country...

Thanks to everyone who replied. This is something that I'd been wondering about for ages and now it finally makes sense. Thanks a lot!

Hello. So I've been reading about SERE and I'm really confused. Does the air force still require aircrew to go through hands-on training in tough environments? I keep reading that they're getting rid of the program, and I'm really worried because if I ended up becoming a pilot I would want to...

Thanks for the help you guys! I just don't know much about sports. (Obviously!)

Hello. I know this might be a stupid question, but I was wondering if Cross Country is a sport that AFA would appreciate? You see, I'm currently a freshman that's interested in attending AFA but I don't have any sports yet. So right now I'm deciding what sports I should do for next year. I...

blep Well, I'm in 9th grade so I guess I'd be 2016.

I think you guys seriously do have a point. And I've already been showing a great deal of interest in the military, so it probably wouldn't seem out of the blue for me to wait and talk to them when I'm actually old enough, or almost old enough, to apply. I think I'm probably going to email my...

blep I am really envious of you Falcongirl! XD Thank you guys so much for your help. And I will definitely mail you my high school name and my city, flieger, because I've been trying to locate my ALO for awhile.

I have been reading about ROTC, and I know it's what I would do if I can never get into the academy. And I'm going to talk a lot about how my parents wont have to pay much, cause I think that will eventually get my dad to support me. Plus, I found out that my grandfather was a Merchant Marine...

thanks Thanks so much you guys! I hadn't thought about how they'll feel when they discover I haven't spoken with them about this for months and months and months. And I have been reading about the Air Force everyday. I don't think there's much information on google that I've missed. But...

Hi everyone. I joined and posted awhile ago, but I haven't been very active. My name is Haley and I'm 14 and interested in eventually attending the Air Force Academy. The only problem is that I'm terrified to tell my parents. No one in my family has ever been in the military, (except my...

Thanks a lot you guys. : ) I really appreciate it.

Yes, I'm a girl and I'm fourteen. And I would go the Academy no matter what. Being a pilot is just one of the careers that I'm interested in. Thanks for helping! I suppose I do still have time to grow, and I measured myself again today and I reached the line. (I may have just been tired and...

Hi. I'm interested in attending the Air Force Academy, and I would like the chance to eventually be a pilot. But right now on only 5'3". Does the air force ever make exceptions for people that are only an inch too short? With shoes on I can reach 5'4". Would they test you with your shoes...

Thanks you guys! This is all really helpful since I wasn't positive about what activities look good for home schoolers. And nice to meet you. (My name's Haley by the way) I will definitely start preparing for the SAT then. And hopefully I'll be able to letter in a sport next year.

Hello. I basically found out about the academy about a month ago, and it is one of my choices for college. But because I just found out about it, I have to completely change my schedule for my high school years. Could someone please tell me if this three year plan sounds like it could get me...
