Hello, so I received my appointment to the USAFA on Jan 15th and wanted to ask a question…
So I was going to try to get my driver's license before possibly going to the USAFA but my parents said no due to insurance costs and the fact that at USAFA you aren't allowed to drive for your first 2 years, which I understand (we are not financially well off). However, they said that if it’s necessary then they will let me.
Should I get my license before coming to the academy? Is it common to not have it? If I come without my license will I have opportunities to get it for example during breaks?
Another reason I’m asking this is because when I was having my West Point interview (I will not be attending West Point due to my aspirations to become a pilot) my interviewer said that he thought having a drivers license was a requirement (I never saw this stated anywhere so I found that statement strange)
Any information will help!
