  • Excellent video kudos, Sir. I joined as enlisted airman out of high school 1987-1992; The best decision in my life. To anyone watching this video: Air Force officers are some of the best trained, educated, & natural leaders I have ever met. The Air Force turned an 18 year old teenager in me into a dedicated police chief, medic, husband, & father of 30 years. It can be tough, but WELL WORTH IT-Go Falcons!!!

  • Having been born and raised in the backyard of the U.S. Naval Academy I can personally attest to the history that each service academy has but also having mentored countless cadets throughout my 16+ years in Civil Air Patrol the Air Force Academy is definitely on the top of my list of places to visit! Fortunately many of our cadets who attend a service academy will be so experienced with drill and ceremony that they'll have a significant advantage of other newbies!!

  • This video is beyond amazing. I have never seen such a thorough (though brief) tour of this campus before. Even from the Academy itself and snippets from "a day in the life students", they leave a LOT about this place out. I never knew half of the facilities even existed, such as the observatory or that there was a ski shop, etc and that certain places were open to the public. No one ever talks or shows some of the most commonly accessed places for students such as the massive dorm room complex (the view from 4:56 - 5:02 is completely new to me, the entire interior, and externally again at 6:02 about the Quads) or the library. What gets the most, though still little attention is the mess hall. I had no idea the buildings were like this, as there's usually no focus on any architecture besides the chapel - and that's a real disservice. The most that's put out to the public are very few specific aerial shots of the terrazzo (I didn't know there were water fountains and gardens) circling their focus around the exterior of chapel, and the first day footprints. Other than that, it's just the interior of the football field, especially during graduation. Thank you for also including footage of the other athletics fields as well. Seriously, well done. This video is an excellent "look inside" for those interested in the Academy. While I won't ever be a student here (my time has passed. Had I wanted to join and been appointed straight out of high school, I would have been part of the class of 2013 - plus even if age weren't a factor, I would be disqualified as I also have a Bachelor of Science degree from another institution - something an applicant cannot have earned prior to joining as the institution), I do love learning about service academies and what student life is like there. From my perspective, compared to the USNA and the USMA at West Point, the USAFA objectively seems to have the least amount of public outreach, such as this simple broad-based tour. You really do fill a much needed informational role. Thank you.

  • As a senior in high school, I understand the pain and stress of going through the college application process. I would suggest starting early and staying organized. Make a list of all the schools you're interested in and their deadlines. Also, take advantage of any resources your school offers, such as guidance counselors or college fairs. Practice for nomination interviews with friends or family, and make sure to research the school beforehand so you're prepared. Remember to take breaks and prioritize self-care during this challenging time. Good luck!

  • Visited USAFA about 5yrs ago. Amazing experience. Was during the summer and it appears there were remedial drills going on in the Terrazo for those cadets that needed some "offseason improvement". My only disappointment was the bookstore was closed that day because I wanted to buy a USAFA t shirt! I tried to sneak into the football stadium but it was locked up pretty tight. So much respect for the students at USAFA and all the military academies. Its not an easy life and they all chose a more difficult path on purpose.

Still, I miss my old days - seeing my father in uniform, playing around in cantonments, and even engaging in debates with MPs 😂. I've always wished to be on a Base.
