US Air Force Academy Graduation 2009

[G3CK0117]

Is the USAFA a college or do you go to college then the academy?

[veelah25]

How do you get awkwardly hugged by the Vice President? Say "Go Blue Hens Sir"

Also, to the CAP kid, that looks good on the admissions board, but they will eat you alive in the Wing if you go around bragging about it. Just a heads up.

Can I join the us air force if i am from another country?

[SpaceAndAviation]

@sr46373 You will have to become an American citizen and live in America. Best of luck to you.

[philipyjlee]

i'm pretty sure that the vice president is getting annoyed with those hand shakes and salutes lol

[XXDJWTFXX]

is this officer graduation?

[CostPlusTulsa]

HAHAHA look at this guys pussy ass salute. He can't even make it above the level of his eye. What a joke of a man.

[morningtruth]

Wait, I know you salute the president, but i don't think you need to salute the vice president, do you? He's not the commander in chief.

[TheSarge75]

i guess its kinda an informal reporting thing where u salute anyway, or just respecting such a high figure of authority. i mean he is titled the honorable vice president biden, and maybe anyone with the title the honorable gets saluted. idk, in civil air patrol we salute the salute the senator at a pass and review for a parade, idk everyone does things differently for the situation provided

@morningtruth

yeah but he still is important

i think its just out of respect

[morningtruth]

@morningtruth

Do you have to salute congressmen?

[CostPlusTulsa]

@morningtruth Yes. He is the SECOND highest ranking commander of the armed forces, in the president's absence.

[morningtruth]

@CostPlusTulsa

As Commander in Chief of the military, the President returns salutes of Unit Commanders when bearing the flag or otherwise and honors the flag with a hand over heart when it is passing via a group outside the military.

The Vice President on the other hand has NO role in the US Military and as such would not ever salute the flag or a military unit until such time that the VP was serving as the President.

[lonestarn]

@morningtruth He's still part of top staff

[ken0is0gay0fan0club]

@morningtruth all heads of state with the title "honorable" infront of them you salute

[hiphoptoto]

@morningtruth its called respect

[TheArtofCinema]

I am willing to do whatever it takes to make it in there, I swear

[gellybean101]

@TheArtofCinema

Me too, Right there with you on that.

[2009HUB]

Best day of my life.

[KittyRokher]

i wanna join the academy when i reach 18. i really hope i make it in, ive been preparing for years, and im not even 15 yet. i hope to be a fighter pilot or an a-10 pilot

[mirandaleajonas]

i am in the same exact position bbut i am a civil air patrol cadet, so all i can tell u is to worke hard. By the way, the air force academy takes people who are known for good things in the community

[PlaystationLOV3R]

what do you mean by that? like charity or somthing? im looking forward to going there.

[felix2542]

If you don't mind me asking, what have you done to prepare? I have the same...errr, idea? I also want to be a pilot.

[KittyRokher]

studying, helping my community, getting involved with sports, i might join the CAP next year, and I have been working on flight simulators a lot so that when i get there, i might be good enough they'll make me a pilot.

[ColeHimself]

That has to be exciting, I sure hope I can get into there. :)
