<p>Thanks Airforcehokie and definitely good luck to you also. </p>
<p>I think we should make a rule that any student or parent that participates in these forums for the betterment of their child and their future, automatically gets accepted into the Air Force Academy. All in favor, say Aye. </p>
<p>Hee Hee LOL!!! Sorry, thought it would be a good way to take most of the stress out of being accepted. Then we could concentrate on the details of the academy such as basic, classes, moral, living conditions, discipline, and all the other things our kids will have to deal with. </p>
<p>I even asked my son a while back when he said he wanted to go to the academy; “Are you sure you can handle the discipline, screaming in your face, have to do EVERYTHING a certain way even if it doesn’t make sense. Combining your individuality so it is focused towards the common good of all. and so on”. His response was ; “You were in the Air Force for 21 years. I’ve lived that way of thinking for the last 17 years. That mentality has got me through school, football, soccer, and the rest of life. The academy is probably going to be easier. LOL!!!”</p>
<p>Of course he knows that the academy is very challenging. He’s always been involved in a “Team” type of environment his whole life. At home, at school, on the sports field. What better team to now join then the ultimate team. The U.S. Military. He really loved the Summer Seminar. He thought it was everything he wanted and more. He liked spending a day like a doolie. </p>
<p>Anyway, good luck to everyone. And thank you all so much for a wealth of knowledge and support. Later… Mike…</p>
