aglages is correct on all points. Re-read his post more than once.

I might add…
if possible you might want to try to attend a regular college instead of CC. As aglages states, CC is not especially challenging, and many students there are not capable of going beyond the Associates degree. So, try to apply to a few regular colleges and also see if you can financially afford that path. The extra rigor will be understood by the admissions committee at the Air Force Academy.

Whether in CC or regular college, definitely try to get involved with Air Force ROTC. They might give you a three year full tuition scholarship if your freshman year is outstanding, in addition to helping you gain an appointment to USAFA, .

The Merchant Marine Academy is another legitimate path to obtaining a commission as an Air Force officer. It is also the easiest academy to obtain an appointment. Plus it gives you the option of a Navy commission too, and you could fly for the Navy.
