I was just wondering if I could get some comments from some people out there.....
I am 21, live in Florida, and going to school full time at a Community College. After this Spring '03 semester, I'll have 2 years of college out of the way. I know it is very difficult to get into the Academy, but for times sake, lets say I have a recommendation from a senator or congrssman (i forget who you have to have a letter from for a nomination) and I was accepted.
I am in Colorado Springs, Co for a few days and one of the people I was here with is a Lt. Col. so he got to show me all around the school and I got to talk to quite a few cadets out there. I absolutely love the campus and surroundings! Anyway, I have been a gymnast for over 10 years, and I stopped by the gym to talk to the coach, and he was telling me that he'd pay for me to come back up here for the weekend so he can show me around some more and talk with me more about being a gymnast for the Air Force Academy.
I was wondering if you all think it would be a waste of time to have to start all 4 years of college all over to get the awesome education from the AFA and get the chance to be an officer in the Air Force. I've heard a few peoples opinions, but I want to hear from a variety of people just to see if I can gain anymore information.
Thanks in advance!
