Good evening,
I am currently in the application process of USAFA; my back-up school is VMI. I have wanted to be a pilot (in any capacity) since I was 2, a USAF Pilot since I was 10, and I caught "Academy Fever" when I was 14. My dream is to become a Close Air Support pilot in the USAF. However, my primary mission is to become the best officer I can be. That's why I want to subject myself to the rigors of either USAFA or VMI: to become not just a pilot but a sky-soldier, a warrior, and a modern day knight, an officer in the USAF.
I am on this forum because some friends recommended it to me and it is a tool for gaining insight/wisdom from experienced persons (which, in my opinion, is a hallmark of successful people).
Fun facts:
Favorite book: Sir Knight of the Splendid Way - W.E. Cule
Favorite poem: "Ulysses" - Tennyson
Biggest lesson learned so far: "...three strikes and you're NOT out" (Hal Moore).
Ideal job: either A-10s out of Osan AB (if they're still flying by the time I get there) or F-16s out of Misawa AB.
Have an outstanding day!
