[quote=Anonymous]My wife's youngest brother went to the Air Force Academy, purely for the athletic & academic challenge and wanting to fly jets.  Non-military family from Chicago.

When I went to his wedding at the chapel there I was blown away. By the school, facilities, tour, well-spoken teenagers running the school, the 5-tier GPA composites, and most of all the 7 AFA men and 1 AFA woman that stood up in the wedding. Great group of 30 yos, very professional, managing people and gov't challenges as best they can, improving processes, making a difference in ways I never did in investment banking or private equity.

They flew in from everywhere - flying F16s, helos, Air/Ground SOCOM support, int'l soccer leagues, teaching at Uni's, Asia, Germany, etc. Fantastic reunion for them and great set of people with values you can count on.

And I say this as an ignorant Oxbridge Brit who had no clue what a service academy is anywhere, even the Prince Harry one.  I cannot wait to see what they do once they choose to release from service.   [/quote]
