<p>KateLewis: Thank you for that article. It’s sort of ironic, really. That article touched upon a lot of conflicts I’m finding/thinking about myself. I bookmarked it, and I’ll probably read it a few more times in the next few days. Thank you for that, it’s a great little piece of insight.</p>
<p>mixalot: Thank you for the words of wisdom. I think what I like so much about USAFA is that I really could see myself 10 years from now. I know what I would be doing. I have no idea what I’d be doing 10 years after Yale. I don’t even have an idea what I’d be doing a year after. Yale offers so many things, it seems near impossible to know what direction going there brings you.</p>
<p>shogun: I assumed my desire to serve was/is implied by my heavy consideration of the Academy? But at the same time, I know what you mean. As of now, I don’t think I’d want to become a career officer, and maybe that’s truly indicative of where I should go. Obviously I am very naive to many things about the AF and serving, but I suppose I figure that any work I do for the AF will be beneficial to them; going career isn’t the only way I can do my part, is it? If so, I think you’re probably right. I think Yale is probably the place for me, then.</p>
