Back in 2011, I walked the same path you're on now, graduating from the Air Force Academy. I remember the nerves, the anticipation, and yes, the moments of self-doubt. But I also remember the exhilaration, pride, and the overwhelming sense of accomplishment.
We wrote this book because LTC Kirkland and I have both been in your shoes. Working with students, we believe in your potential. It takes a special young man or woman to pursue a Service Academy appointment, which is why we want to offer you all the insights and confidence boosters that we wish we had back when we applied!
My goal? For you to close this book feeling empowered, ready, and genuinely excited for your Service Academy interviews. This is your time to shine. Best of luck as you prepare for your interviews!
