Love it! Thanks! Your literally the only UA-camr I actually like their video and I'm already subscribed.
Nefertiti Hernandez thanks for the support !!!
Cambria Lenee | No problem! Wouldn't do it and comment about it if I didn't mean it. Have a nice day or night. I know your probably busy. Good luck with your finals if you hadn't already taken them!
Collab w wild blue yonder for mil. Monday
I have a suggestion - when you mention certain ‘military duties’ maybe try to explain it :) I think that would really help too. Great video though!
Avery Simer I’ll work on actually explaining all the abbreviations/ military duties ! Thanks for the positive feedback. It will help me make better content for y’all! Thanks for watching too.
Thank you for the video! Friend of mine graduated from the AF academy, and was on the wrestling team. He's now a Lt. Col.
My fiancé is a discus thrower + graduating this month! Love your channel! Always wanted to see the inside scoop for a female cadet! Killin it!💖
Thanks for the support! 💓
do a dorm room tour
Thank you for all your videos. My daughter just with in the air Force academy prep school & BMT. Hope all is well with you and studies.
Latoya Merriweather thank you so much for watching ! Best of luck to your daughter, you should be very proud! 💕
Your channel is awesome!! I’m going to the AFA Prep in 4 days! Hopefully meet you one day!!
thanks so much !!!
Can you tell us how you got recruited? Thanks again for the super helpful videos!!
It is a very lengthy process, but if you check the USAFA official site and visit the Admissions, there is an extensive catalog of all the expectations, scores, and pre-requisites in the application process of the Academy!
How’d you balance both freshman year? I’m recruited for football, and track.
Hayden Bullock it was very hard to balance both. I’d say the best thing to do is stay super organized and go in for help if you’re falling behind academically
How did you get recruited? Any tips on how to get them to notice me
Do you have to play a sport at the academy?
Hopefully your knees are recovering well! Great video, wish I could play volleyball
They are recovering well! Thanks for watching girl !
Love your videos and thank you for sharing your experiences! How did the recruitment process work?
Thank you for watching! The recruitment process for cadets is similar to any other school. The application process is just harder and longer due to the need for congressional nomination !
You say it's different being an athlete, but I thought everyone at the academy was an athlete? Or is it just being in IC sports when you say that lol
Do you have to be in a sport in the academy or is it optional?
this vid is so helpful !!! thanks so much !
Any tips for the application process (sports, academics, other extracurricular like CAP or something) etc?
you should do a video about the party lives like what we can and cant do like wwhen can we leave ground
Hi! I plan on actually making a video about how USAFA is different from a typical college (like the rules for each class year)!
Cambria, my daughter in coming in with ‘23, and I’d like your opinion on her walking on, specifically in Volleyball. Will there be an opportunity during or at the end of BCT to do this? Thank you!
Yes! There is a semi tryout period during BCT!
Cambria Lenee Thank you very much! As a Grad with an incoming Basic, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed your videos. I was recruited for IC Football, but ended up playing IC Baseball, so I get all the thoughts and concerns of being an IC athlete. Best of luck on your upcoming season!
Thank you so much for your service! And best of luck to your daughter, she will do great !
Would it be possible to do multiple sports? And would you say that it is manageable if they are in two different seasons?
I was able to manage both but of course there’s always something you’re gonna have to give up because of the time commitment. Most college sports even when you’re not in season you are training so if the sports you want to do are in different seasons you’ll still most likely be doing double training.
the video is great! I have two questions though, what time does every cadet have to wake up and how do they wake you up and does the Academy have a track and field team? taking mental notes.
Anthony Norman freshman year you’ll probably be waking up at 6 on school days/ days you’re required to do minutes ( freshman go out at 6:25 to “wake up” upperclassmen) . Once you’re an upperclassmen you just have to be up by 8 / whenever you have class. Or you are up at 6:20 if you’re flight has MOD. It’s all kind of confusing but I’d say on average you’re gonna be up at 6:40
And yes there is a track team !
Can you do a day in the life? during season or even offseason
Katie O'Donnell I’ll try to do one! It’s hard because you’re not supposed to film while walking! But it’s worth a shot thanks for the suggestion!
K am looking into getting into the air force and would like some tips fyi I wrestle and play baseball
Go watch my USAFA q&a video :)
I truly hope you make it. I am looking to play there soccer. Make sure you work hard and make a highlight video and get im contact with the coaches as soon as possible
Thanks for the great info!
How would one make the golf team?
email the coaches amd create highlight video
I know most d1 sports are walk on at the academy. What happens if your not gonna enough for the sport and you get cut? Do you have to sign up for another sport or are you fine with sports for that year. I know athletics are manditory st the academy
ELIT3 FR3SHN3SS Most of the intercollegiate sports are strictly recruited. The only ones I know that are walk on are boxing and club sports. Most club sports don’t cut and aren’t mandatory !! Hopefully this clears things up.
How did you get recruited for a sport?
what’s the academic schedule like for someone who isn’t an athlete? like the time ranges each day
Bethany Hill you could have classes anywhere between 7:30 and 3:30. With a lunch break of course
How did you get to the top % of your class?? I have a 3.9 gpa but idk if that’s good enough and math this year isint my strong suit
3.9 is pretty good!
What squadron are you in? Do you change after the first year or second?
cybercab I’m currently in 30! You can squadrons after your 2nd year !
@@cambrialenee7434 Nice. My sister and I were in 29 just down the hall. My brothers were in 39. We switched after the first year, which I think was good so I could start fresh. When I was a firstie they changed it so people would switch after two years. Good times.
That’s awesome ! Sijan life is a blast. What year did y’all graduate ?
@@cambrialenee7434 '89, 91, 94, and 98. My older brother taught there from I think 98-02 and then went back for 4 more years. He won the top Comp Sci Professor award 3 times. Now he's taking on BlockChain. I was just watching a clip of the choir from maybe 91. I saw my sister in it at least. They sang at the Country Music Awards back in 90 but I was a 4 degree and never saw it. But I just saw the footage last month. Nice to see her on TV.
Can you be on a sports team even if you didn’t play any sports in high school
There are club sports teams !
Thanks for good information. I hope my son(10th) join Air force academy in a future. 😁 wonder what was your high school GPA&Sat score ?😊😊😊😊😊 too personal?naver mind.🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
I had a 4.2 weighted gpa in high school and I only took the ACT (which superscored to a 30) . Not personal at all ! I hope your son can attend as well . Thanks for watching !
Does the USAFA have a softball team ?
I’m making an group chat for others who wanna go to USAFA. We can apply together and help eachother through high school. My Instagram is jh_10804
So close to 1st commet
Just came to the comments to ask where you got that sweatshirt :)
I got it at the visitors center!
How are/were home football games?
I sadly have only been to a few home football games because Volleyball is during the same season . They were fun though when I went !
Can one just be a "walk on" athlete if he/she doesn't want to go through the whole recruiting process?
Yes, but not all sports allow walk ons without previously coordinating with the coach . There aren’t really open tryouts.
Can I apply while I am 15
Junior year
What are you majoring in?
Macy I’m a political science major with a focus on international relations and environmental studies in sub Saharan Africa ( random but fun!)
Super cool! I’m interested in the academy. I’m a junior. Do u have any advice for someone who has no idea where to start. I’m not sure who to talk to or anything.
Are you talking about college? Or what do you mean by taking classes?
She attends usafa, which is a military academy
Girl! I’m a dad and I’m telling you to go to the nearest doctor and get that tongue looked at. It looks very scarred up.
Wahdooma Bawl- Zitch haha I promise it’s fine! It’s called a geographic tongue. I’ve had it since I was a kid (:
No need to apologize! I get asked almost everyday about it (it’s just super rare so most people just think my tonight is falling off). I definitely understand your daughters position. I’ve always played two sports and took on way too much work in high school. I’m so happy that she got her appointment ( you should be very proud). The academy will teach her very quickly the importance of BALANCE. Without it here life is miserable, I hope you encourage her to do what she loves and balance her life so she doesn’t undergo the same stressors as a lot of first year cadets. Thank you so much for your support! Your words of encouragement really push me to make more videos and help more parents/ incoming cadets get a real glimpse into USAFA!
*tongue
One of my old teachers had a geographical tongue and would tell us he tried to kiss a shark until we found out what it was
