Well, if you “want to first go serve” your country for a few years, it’ll be a minimum of nine years through the Academy…That’s a long time to hold a slot open. Plus, if you do end up washing out of here, having “I went to USAFA for a year” is a big plus on any application, so I wouldn’t worry about getting accepted somewhere else.
