s and I'm afraid of not getting in.

99.9% of the other people who will apply will be worried about not getting in too, so don't worry about that...

Doesn't mean you won't fly-you think all AF pilots are Academy graduates? Think 1/10th of them are? 1/100th? Exactly. It's still hard to fly but don't worry if you can't get into the academy.

Thanks for the encouragement. I have some AF lienage(sp?) in my family, my grandfather was in the Air Force as a mechanic and he was very good at reparing aircraft. So it helps when you tell the recruiters that you have some Air Force in your family, but I'm still worried...

What recruiters are looking for when they are recruiting you is 1) what do you want out of your military career... is it just because you want to fly planes? Is it because you want to blow stuff up? The cliche of serving your country? 2) What can you do for the military? And 3) whether or not you can handle it.

Theres a lot of obstacles, and it can be hard for some people. But if you can part your heart to it, then you will be fine. I know a lot of people who joined the military who never really did put their heart to it (i guess i know half the people in my old course dropped out later on) or didnt know what it was all for, and to tell you the truth, a military occupation is not a career for everyone. Don't be worried if this is what you want to do, only worry when you get asked to get up at 4:30 in the morning to do PT for 2-3 hours straight during your first few years of your career Grin
