U.S. Air Force Academy

Recruitment

When you hear "Air Force Academy" you might picture a bootcamp where generals shout in your face.

That picture would be incorrect.

It's actually an elite college that offers an Ivey League level education as well as some pretty amazing opportunities.

Recruitment

Ask someone who the biggest badasses in the military are and they'll generally say the Navy SEALS or the Marines. The Air Force, on the other hand, is more commonly associated with science, tech and aircraft. But the commandos of AFSOC are a different animal. They're doing the things that have to be redacted later.* These aren't your typical airmen or airwomen and the Air Force want potential recruits to know that.

*My words. Not the U.S. Air Force's... in case they're watching.
