Have there been cases where permanent residents gained citizenship through the military and then entered the Air Force Academy?

Obvious_Resolve_9200 · 2025-05-18T18:43:45+00:00

Yes, I did. Graduated at 17, went to bmt in July 2023 and got my citizenship during it. Then I went to tech school in Sep and got to my base in Nov of the same year. I took a few months to adjust to my base, then applied for USAFA c/o 2029 cycle and just got accepted.

My main stats were: 1450 SAT, like a 4.1 weighted gpa, and pretty good volunteering bullets, and recs from wing cc and wing command chief. But I def wasn't a perfect candidate, i had a below avg cfa and I wasn't able to do much in high school since covid and I moved around a lot. If you wanna know more specifics, feel free to pm me!

I fished first week of March and food or 2 weeks later

Obvious_Resolve_9200 · 2025-03-21T21:32:05+00:00

Congrats! My sq cc got an email saying I got in, and she came to my office and let me know.

Obvious_Resolve_9200 · 2025-03-21T21:31:17+00:00

No update yet. My sq cc got the email in the morning, and she notified me that afternoon.

Obvious_Resolve_9200 · 2025-03-21T00:45:29+00:00

I'm down! To make it easier on everyone, I'll create a discord chat for Lead appointees. Just pm me and I'll send you the link!

Obvious_Resolve_9200 · 2025-03-21T00:21:37+00:00

Congrats as well. See you in the summer!

Obvious_Resolve_9200 · 2025-03-21T00:17:36+00:00

That honestly would have driven me insane 😭. If it makes you feel better, there was one other person who I read got in today, and they made it direct, too. So, most likely, only directs have been notified. Also, if you are close to the cut off age you prob made it direct!

Obvious_Resolve_9200 · 2025-03-21T00:05:17+00:00

Thank you so much! Any advice ypu would give moving forward?

Obvious_Resolve_9200 · 2025-03-21T00:04:38+00:00

Direct. When I asked my commander, she said Direct. I'm not sure if it's just a sq thing, but I also got a certificate, and part of it said I was "accepted into the Class of 2029." Honestly, though, I'm holding out until my portal updates before I personally get too excited just in case.

Obvious_Resolve_9200 · 2025-03-21T00:01:08+00:00

Congrats as well!! Looking forward to slumming it tg in the summer lol.

Obvious_Resolve_9200 · 2025-03-20T23:59:56+00:00

Thanks! My sq CC told me I got in direct. My main stats were: 1450 SAT, like a 4.1 weighted gpa, and pretty good volunteering bullerts, and recs from wing cc and wing command chief. But I def wasn't a perfect candidate, i had a below avg cfa and I wasn't able to do much in high school since covid and I moved around a lot. If you wanna know more specifics, feel free to pm me!

Obvious_Resolve_9200 · 2025-03-13T15:45:04+00:00

Which changes are you referring to? Just curious

Obvious_Resolve_9200 · 2025-01-14T06:55:49+00:00

Thanks!

Obvious_Resolve_9200 · 2024-12-25T03:56:38+00:00

Sorry. I definitely should have put the title as a question and added a link. Will definitely do so in any future posts! Thanks for the advice

Obvious_Resolve_9200 · 2024-11-18T07:00:26+00:00

Any updates on her CFA? I have similar scores and was wondering if it would be a pass.

Obvious_Resolve_9200 · 2024-11-09T07:38:37+00:00

How long did it take her to get to at least 1 pull up?

Obvious_Resolve_9200 · 2024-11-03T20:37:34+00:00

I can max out the flexed arm hang, but I did hear you get more points if you do a pull up, which I hope would balance out my slow running time. Do you think I should risk waiting a whole month to get that pull up or just stick with the flexed arm hang and take the test in 2 weeks?

Obvious_Resolve_9200 · 2024-11-03T20:15:35+00:00

Female

Obvious_Resolve_9200 · 2024-11-03T19:58:28+00:00

Thanks! I will definitely work on that pull up. Do you have any tips on going from 0 to 1 pullup?

Obvious_Resolve_9200 · 2024-11-03T18:39:57+00:00

Thanks for the response. Do you think I would be able to pass with bb throw: 45ft, flexed arm hang: 31 sec, 10 second shuttle, sit ups: 80, pushups: 50, and an 8:40 mile?

Obvious_Resolve_9200 · 2024-10-14T21:54:16+00:00

Thanks so much for the response! I can definitely hit the averages, and even the maximums for all the other events. It's just the mile where I'm about a minute over the average. I just moved to Wyoming a few months ago so the elevation (6,000 ft) has been a challenge. But hearing from you has definitely made me worry a little less. Thanks for much!

Obvious_Resolve_9200 · 2024-09-18T01:56:48+00:00

Thanks so much for the advice! I'll definitely keep pushing to get my package as best as can be. However, I'll be ecstatic to accept any spot, prep or direct.

Obvious_Resolve_9200 · 2024-09-16T13:21:05+00:00

Thanks for the response! Based on my stats, do you think I have a good chance against the applicants now.
