What else should I do to become a cadet?

<p>Wow raimius, that really surprises me. I would have thought that more of it was mandatory by the way the cadet from the class of '00 described it. But then again, it’s been 6 years and a lot has changed apparently. </p>

<p>Are these summer programs still on a 3-week basis or do they vary in length, and if you choose not to take one, would you have time to do something else other than Air Force Academy curriculum or Air Force training, or are you committed to spending your entire summer to officer training?</p>
