Lol. Guess that's what happens, when you grow up in a military family. My younger sis actually got appointed to go to West Point. But they wanted to send her to preparatory school for a year, since they though she was still kinda young. She had just turned 17, when she graduated. Of course she got impatient and enrolled into regular college. To the say least my dad was a bit disappointed but supported her nonetheless. One of the reason, we are soo stoked that both my sis and BIL got stationed there. =)Nina Sapphirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02041987375379411684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-161159661870560043.post-59304652239237731222010-05-29T09:41:28.213-07:002010-05-29T09:41:28.213-07:00Em- I'm so jealous that you're in the Spri...Em- I'm so jealous that you're in the Springs! The Thunderbirds are so fun to watch, aren't they?<br /><br />Ang- Thanks so much! What a sweet comment :-)<br /><br />Nina- I had no idea you'd ever thought about attending the Academy! You made the right choice if you wanted a more normal college experience, though haha.<br /><br />Lis- Love you, too!Ash and Matt | A SoCal Storyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13725165365275345103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-161159661870560043.post-62941175315763104102010-05-28T21:37:43.376-07:002010-05-28T21:37:43.376-07:00Ash, i am loving reading these posts about the Air...Ash, i am loving reading these posts about the Air Force!!

I applied but then half way through I lost interest because I wanted to have a more typical college experience. Every now and then I think what could have been. lol. I showed your blog to my husby he loved reading your entries about the USAF, since he comes from a military family just as me. =)Nina Sapphirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02041987375379411684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-161159661870560043.post-792572382653018842010-05-28T07:23:36.670-07:002010-05-28T07:23:36.670-07:00This was extremely well written, Ash!

I'm glad you're doing these posts, it's amazing to learn about Airforce. I had absolutely NO idea how strict it is and everything the cadets are required to do throughout their education there. Holy cow! I thought Matt was a great guy before, but now I think he's incredible! To have gone through that kind of program and done so well there indicates such strength of character, discipline, and integrity. Wow! Awesome!
