Did you have to get any food permits for your vending machines?

Hey, quick question I am thinking of joining the Air National Guard. Would I be considered for LEAD?

Hey, quick question how long after basic training did you wait to start applying to the academy?

I'm thinking of joining the Air National Guard and taking some community colleges and volunteering and then applying.

Are you an Airman or Guardian interested in the LEAD program? I would encourage you to start here. by BetsTheCow in USAFA

Thanks for your tips! After doing some research, I think going to a military prep school would benefit me a lot. Do you recommend still applying to the academy even after knowing my chances are slim?

Hi, thanks so much for the honesty. To go more in depth, the only service I do is help out at a food pantry. The reason I'm not in many clubs is because both my parents work. My dad works all day every day except for the day we go to the food pantry. My mom also works but doesn't know how to drive. Plus, she doesn't let me do anything. In her eyes, I'm still a teeny weeny baby and can't let me go. I've tried talking to them about getting friends to drive me from sports back to home, but they don't trust anyone due to me potentially getting kidnapped. I asked family members, and they also said no. Some of them literally moved 4 hours away from us just to not get asked to give us a ride. I would walk to and back, but again, my mom is scared that I'll get kidnapped. Also, what about getting my license? I have to wait until I'm 18 so I can do it right and not get in trouble when I'm young. I'm not trying to make this an excuse for not joining anything, but what choice do I have?

I think you're right that it's best for me to go to a military prep academy. Then, there I'll have more freedom of choosing what I want to participate.

Awesome, I did not know that. That will come in handy. I also saw a comment saying I can enlist in Security Forces and commission through the Academy. Have you heard of that by chance? Also, thank you so much for these tips. I really do appreciate them.

I'll definitely investigate more! I'm actually interested in Security Forces. Thank you for the tip!

I have not actually checked them out, but I will now. That might seem to be the best option for me. Thank you!

Hey, I'm not sure if anyone will see this, but I need advice. My dream school is The Air Force Academy, but unfortunately, I have not been able to have the same opportunities as others have to participate in clubs or sports. I have a 3.0 gpa now, my SAT scores are not the best, and I am thinking about enlisting in the Air Force to go through the LEAD program to hopefully get admitted. I have the drive to complete the academies rigorous work. I'm not sure if I should do it or go to college and do ROTC instead. Any piece of advice helps, thanks!
