    I’d appreciate if you’d change the USAF logo to USAFA logo sir. All other service academies have their academy logo with) the exception of USAFA

      We used the official AF logo within the video. We have changed the thumbnail picture to reflect the logo used for sports, as we did with USMA and the Naval Academy. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

    I Applied to West Point the naval academy and merchant marines during high school; got waitlisted too all 3. My plan B was army rotc as I got a 4 year scholarship for it to West Virginia University. I’m in serious toss up on if I should reapply during my freshmen year of college

      While I haven't checked each of the academies you listed, we know that West Point does not accept transfer students. In fact, they set their acceptant rate with the knowledge that they will not retain a certain portion of the incoming class in the first year and beyond and are prepared to absorb those losses. Putting your time and energy into maximizing your ROTC experience would be a significant investment. Earn leadership roles, take advantage of as many experiences as possible, and maximize your education. ROTC, academy, and officer candidate training graduates all have the same opportunities to contribute and be promoted through their service.

    I got into USMA and already accepted my appointment offer. I never really took an interest in aviation until I took a flight with family friends and was allowed to sit in the pilot seat, thought it was the best experience of my life so far. Is it over if I attend USMA but have a desire to fly fixed-wing? Do people ever graduate from an academy but commission into another service?

      Cross-commissioning is possible, though rare. Before you arrive on post, you might want to ask questions of the admissions office. Ask if there is a set process. Also, ask if there are ways you can find out more about the possibilities. The opportunity will be based on your willingness to ask...and follow through on suggested approaches. And, there will be a review of the request once formally made, which will take time, attention, and fortitude. There are no guarantees, but there may be opportunities. The other option is to pursue an appointment to the Naval or Air Force Academies. That may mean taking a year off and finding a way to make that year attractive for those academies to select you for a future class.

      Students from other countries can be admitted to the US service academies, however, the process is different. Applications are submitted through the home government of the student applying. The process can be different from country to country. Students from countries beyond the US need to contact their government to determine if they will sponsor an application.
