well what do you want to do in the Air Force after USAFA? If you do the same careerfield enlisted then it shouldn’t really matter. Look at the reasons you have (you don’t need to share them with us if you don’t want) for wanting to attend the academy. USAFA should not be the end goal you have in mind. Whether it’s getting a pilot slot, getting paid to get an undergraduate degree, or a path to serve your country as an officer, you need to make sure you know what that goal is. If enlisting will help you reach USAFA and your ultimate goal, then go for it. If it won’t or provides too big an obstacle because you see yourself as putting your life on the line, then perhaps you need to re-assess your goals.
