Hello All,
My daughter is applying for the USAFA and is a junior. My wife and I have been thinking about being a host family when I retire from a major city police department next year. My daughter's commander at CAP is a retired Colonel in the Army and advised her to apply to more than one service academy. She has her heart set on the USAFA but heard from many others that you should apply to multiple service academies and rank them in order of preference? With that being said I want to ask a question about hosting cadets. Our daughter is open and would attend any academy if she did not get USAFA. My daughter asked us where we would like to move to. We had no idea and have never been to any of the 5 cities with the exception of New York City (USMMA). So, strictly opinion here, where would you guys like to retire and why if you had to choose the 5 cities that host our service academies?
