you need to get a letter from your state senator, the academy is very have to get into and it is like four years of BMT and anyone it the military will tell you that that is no fun. you need to do 45 push ups 50 situps and run 1.5 miles in 11:45. work on that and keep at least a 3.5 GPA and you should be good

You don't "join" the Air Force Academy, you are selected. Make sure your grades are As and Bs. Get involved in school activities. Play sports and run until you drop. The Air Force Academy is a wise choice but you have to prepare early. See your school counseller for details.

If you are not already in good shape, get that way. Make sure you get very good grades. Do community service. Extra curricular activities. Contact the highest ranking local politician you can get to see you and ask for an appointment letter. In the academy you will not just learn to be a soldier, you will learn to be a leader.

Check with a Coast Guard Recruiter First!
Being accepted to any academy takes effort. Volunteer to do public service, find other activities out of school that will make you stand out among all those that apply. What can you do to make yourself a better candidate? Sports, feed the homeless, work a suicide hot line.

You picked a frustrating branch of service to enlist into with a criminal checklist. The Air tension is particularly choosy to start with. The BAC count selection is possibly no longer likely to make lots of a distinction with the Air tension. the actuality that think approximately a misdemeanor checklist is what they are going to be inquisitive approximately. there's a danger that they might communicate a waiver for that, yet you will possibly might desire to communicate jointly with your Air tension recruiter. lots of the different branches of service are extra lenient, however the Air tension and army are particularly selective approximately who they permit to enlist. stable good fortune.

You can start preparing yourself by doing push ups and sit ups and running and have someone to time yourself. that is for when u join and go to basic u will be able to pass the required fields of the physical part. have a recruiter to come by your home now to see if u can pass the test that they give also.

Run a mile in 7 minutes, do push-ups and Sit-ups. Physical conditioning is about the only thing you can do to prepare.

Get good grades (straight A's), be in shape and learn how to say yes Sir/Ma'am! Congrats you are taking a step that all Americans should take and that is to defend your country.

All of the things above. Also pay attention to detail, like making sure your buttons on your clothes are fastened and everything is in its proper place.
This will save you pushups.

You need to start working out and running. Youre going to need a lot of energy and endurance. And take some math and science classes too. It will help you with figuring out navigations stuff.
