@@rwii4863 that’s the place to be for sure. I was a football player and knew nothing about the Academics before I got there. Why does my degree say Bachelor of Science?🤦🏾♂️😂😂 Why am I taking all these engineering classes? Good for him. He’ll do great.
Gerat story thank for your service. I'm plan on joing the air force right after high school in my senior year the job that I want is cyber security still looking for what the specific job I want tho. Any suggestion?
My number one piece of advice would be for you to explore as many of the career fields. As you can. One mistake I made when I came in is that I had no idea of all of the career fields that you could choose from.
There are tons of benefits. It all just depends on what matters the most to you. I joined because I was gonna have a guaranteed job after school plus I got to travel to some awesome places. I was also trained and prepared for a lot of things while I was in.
I have a question. Was the application and nomination process still a huge deal once you were being recruited? Did you get congressional nominations? Or was the coach able to help get you accepted in the college?
I am being recruited to dive at the academy and am going on my official visit in September. I had no idea I wanted to go to the Air Force academy until recently and I just began the application process.
Thank you for sharing. I never attended the Academy but I was Enlisted in the Air Force for awhile and enjoyed my time. Thank you for your service.
Thank for stopping by. Thanks for your service as well. Enlisted force is the backbone of the AF. Loved every second I had with them.
Hell yeah man, going off to basic training next month for the air force. Much respect i’m from odessa tx.
That’s awesome. Good luck. It will be a good time for you.
That is 👏🏽! My nephew is in his junior year at USAFA. Great short.
Thank you and thanks for stopping by. What’s your nephew planning on doing when they graduate?
@JacobeKendrick I believe he wants to be an engineer, but I'm not sure what kind.

@@JacobeKendrick Thank you.
My dad was a cadet and my mom was also a cadet but my dad still works at the Air Force academy and I live in Colorado btw such a cool story😊
Awesome. What years did they graduate?
That's pretty cool, I'm 14 but I'm trying to get into the air force academy later in life. Imma try and go for combat rescue officer.
That’s awesome I wish I would have known about that career field before I went into the Air Force. Elite of the elite.
How much later in life?
Great Story! Aim High!💪
Thank you 🙌
My daughter is at USAFA, class of 2027
That’s awesome
Can you share advice on how you got your congressional recommendation in a short amount of time?
Short answer is I wrote a letter with the help of a few folks. You should have someone that is helping you through the process.
So handsome in your uniform!
🤓 Thanks

@JacobeKendrick Thanks. Have been looking through some of the jobs, but I will look through them all and see which one I would like the most.
What was your job in the Air Force after the academy?
When I got out I was a 33S Communications Officer. Then soon changed it to 21D Cyber Operations Officer before I separated.
@@JacobeKendrick How was it being a Cyber Operations Officer? That's what I have the most interest in right now.
I just want the benefits of joining the military. Can you tell me more about that? Like the RUTC? Or whatever it was called.

I had to get a nomination. Even if you’re an athlete you still have to go through the same process as every other applicant.
When I am in Air Force Academy will I take Basic Military Training while in the academy or after I leave
You will do basic in the summer before school starts
@@JacobeKendrick Okay thank you
@@JacobeKendrick One more question. Do i take the asvab for the air force when i go to the academy or after
I attended but it wasn't for me.
Everything isn’t for everyone. I’m sure you found your was somewhere else.
Is it true that there are international applicants in the academy
Yes there are also cadets from our allies across the world.
Red Raiders were off the list?🤔
Red Raiders didn’t want me 😢
Again what happen ❤
?
No
?
I have some questions could i email you?
Yes for sure
