Excellent video kudos, Sir. I joined as enlisted airman out of high school 1987-1992; The best decision in my life. To anyone watching this video: Air Force officers are some of the best trained, educated, & natural leaders I have ever met. The Air Force turned an 18 year old teenager in me into a dedicated police chief, medic, husband, & father of 30 years. It can be tough, but WELL WORTH IT-Go Falcons!!!

Having been born and raised in the backyard of the U.S. Naval Academy I can personally attest to the history that each service academy has but also having mentored countless cadets throughout my 16+ years in Civil Air Patrol the Air Force Academy is definitely on the top of my list of places to visit! Fortunately many of our cadets who attend a service academy will be so experienced with drill and ceremony that they'll have a significant advantage of other newbies!! Excellent video Sam, hope you're able to visit the USNA, USMA and USCGA as well sir!!

The effort you go through to bring us videos like these, Sam, is unbelievable! Hats off to you! Thanks!

This video is beyond amazing. I have never seen such a thorough (though brief) tour of this campus before. Even from the Academy itself and snippets from "a day in the life students", they leave a LOT about this place out. I never knew half of the facilities even existed, such as the observatory or that there was a ski shop, etc and that certain places were open to the public. No one ever talks or shows some of the most commonly accessed places for students such as the massive dorm room complex (the view from 4:56 - 5:02 is completely new to me, the entire interior, and externally again at 6:02 about the Quads) or the library. What gets the most, though still little attention is the mess hall. I had no idea the buildings were like this, as there's usually no focus on any architecture besides the chapel - and that's a real disservice. The most that's put out to the public are very few specific aerial shots of the terrazzo (I didn't know there were water fountains and gardens) circling their focus around the exterior of chapel, and the first day footprints. Other than that, it's just the interior of the football field, especially during graduation. Thank you for also including footage of the other athletics fields as well. Seriously, well done. This video is an excellent "look inside" for those interested in the Academy. While I won't ever be a student here (my time has passed. Had I wanted to join and been appointed straight out of high school, I would have been part of the class of 2013 - plus even if age weren't a factor, I would be disqualified as I also have a Bachelor of Science degree from another institution - something an applicant cannot have earned prior to joining as the institution), I do love learning about service academies and what student life is like there. From my perspective, compared to the USNA and the USMA at West Point, the USAFA objectively seems to have the least amount of public outreach, such as this simple broad-based tour. You really do fill a much needed informational role. Thank you.

I'm From India , I can say that Training Center of U.S. Airforce is Awesome. Sending Lots Love From India. Great Video

Excellent video. I have a nephew senior and niece sophomore (brother & sister) at USAFA and they love it. Can't wait to see them both graduate. My line of work takes me to various military bases and I have such a love for our service men and women, thank you so much for your service.

THIS WAS FABULOUS!!!! Thank you SO much for this comprehensive tour of the Academy. I have always been aware of its existence but had NO IDEA of the extent of the facilities! I have family in the Air Force, of whom we are VERY proud. This Grandmother LOVES following you 😊😉!!

Well done Sam. Thank you for sharing. Watching the video does bring back memories of the academy visiting our '21 cadet graduating from CS-27 Thunderbirds.

Wow! Great job! I’ve been to the Air Force Academy before. Almost went there. And your video captures the spirit of it. Not only that, I was really interested in all the details that you were able to provide. I saw your KC 135 video last night. Like your dad, mine was a KC 135 captain, but that was back in the 60s. He’s been gone for many years and watching your video really connected me better with what he did. I never knew the kind of detail that you showed. Thank you. I look forward to your other videos.

You can also join the Air Force as active duty enlisted and then apply to the academy. I've had a few friends do this and it's easier than the normal process since you no longer need a congressman to endorse you. As an airman, just get your commander to sign off and you're good to apply!

fun fact! my dad used to work right next to there at compassion international. there would be times when they would do there air shows so they would quit work early and we would come down there to watch. and since we knew a sergeant from church, he was able to get us a tour. I still remember walking into that huge chapel amazed!

This video makes me wish I had the high aspirations of joining the Air Force Academy when I was a freshman or sophomore in high school. Kudos to you for creating a guide to how to join the Academy. I'm certain that it will effect a generation of AF officers.

I am way too old to apply, but when I was in High School I wanted to go to the AFA. I highly doubted it I would of been selected. Well did not matter if i would or not I get a medical condition that would fail me anyways. Thanks for sharing this. How I wish I could of gone into the Air Force. My Father a Ret. Lt. COL wrote some recommended letters for some of his youth soccer players that got selected and gone on and grauuated and become fighter pilots. Thank Sam it was a very nice video.

What an interesting and enjoyable tour, Sam. Thank you!

This is cool to see. I went to the Virginia Military Institute (VMI) which was quite the experience. The USAFA seems like it provides a great experience as well in Colorado Springs.

I love all this and every single person that makes all this possible. 100% worth everything that is put into it. To all that are currently in Academy thank you, and to any thinking if they want to join, do it and I thank you in advance. I know if I was 18 again and didn't know what I wanted to do, this is a very good career path

My dream college for sure! Applying next year and I genuinely can’t wait. I’m nervous but I won’t be too crippled about not getting in. It’s insane and incredibly impressive what the requirements are to get in!

As a senior in high school, I understand the pain and stress of going through the college application process. I would suggest starting early and staying organized. Make a list of all the schools you're interested in and their deadlines. Also, take advantage of any resources your school offers, such as guidance counselors or college fairs. Practice for nomination interviews with friends or family, and make sure to research the school beforehand so you're prepared. Remember to take breaks and prioritize self-care during this challenging time. Good luck!

Another great resource for anyone interested in the Air Force is Civil Air Patrol. A great entryway into the military life, with tons of fun along the way. I was personally a member of the Colorado Wing, Parker Raptors. I made it to Master Sergeant, an NCO. I still remember it well. Highly encourage people to take a look!

Thx for the awesome video

You managed to find the civilian equivalent of the A-Jacket. How appropriate! Great video it really brings me back. Not much has changed.

I actually visited this place when I was in Colorado! It's very beautiful, and while it's far from my state, I did seriously consider to join

The Academy is a marvelous place. Our son graduated from the Academy and became a fighter 16 pilot and an outstanding officer! You must see the beautiful chapel! Parents weekend was a great experience! Seeing our son dressed in blue for the first time from home was a proud moment. The future was so exciting for this young man I can only say his education and experience was the best in the world.

This was really cool, I’m somewhat familiar with the USNA, but this is my first time seeing anything about the Air Force Academy. Really cool to see, and it’s pretty crazy how cool these institutions are from an academic standpoint. I was amazed by that when I attended a conference at the Naval Academy.

This is actually incredible to look at. I would love to see more in-depth videos about this place. Looks like theres a lot i could learn about all kinds of stuff. Im not American nor am i capable of being in the military. Im from Denmark and i got rejected from being part of it..

Great video Sam. My son is there right now and he is a linebacker on the football team. He loves it.

Loved this video, makes me wish I would have applied to the Air Force Academy back when I was younger. If you are willing to do other academies, as a Marine Veteran (enlisted) I would love to see one on the Naval Academy.

In 2022, I went to the Academy for their Swimming "Sports Camp". Seeing some of the inner workings of the campus was really cool.

I applied for USAFA for the Class of 2027. I didn't make it sadly, and turns out I had certain medical issues that would probably permanently block me from entering. I would wish all cadets good luck in USAFA.

Most Powerful Air Force Academy 🙌 United States For America 🇺🇸

Good to see inside, while I went enlisted and plan to go the OTS route I just had a friend leave for the AFA and started his freshman year as class of 2027

I served ROKAF for 2 years, Republic of Korea Air Force. I envy you that the facilities are so different.. It's very neat, very aesthetic, and the facilities seem new. If I were an American, I would want to enter the school.

Amazing! That is why the Americans have got the strongest military force in history.

Not only am I at USAFA rn but I'm also in CS-28! BADASS

I had no idea the academy had so many different facilities. Most look new or near new. I'd visited the campus some 20 or more years ago to put in an application for a lab tech position that had been advertised. I had 20 years of experience with the USGS but was caught up in a Reduction In Force (RIF). I wasn't selected for the position, but what a great place to go to work!

Sam this is an awesome video. You always make ur vids so entertaining

you seamlessly incorporated stock footage to avoid the all-spark box around the chapel, and killed it with the video quality (again)

I love your videos

Thank you for sharing. It is nice there. My Step-Father graduated from there some years ago.

The USAF academy is an amazing place. I've toured the Naval Academy and West Point as well, but this school inspired me most to join the AF

sucks for me to see this while living in the UK, where the armed forces are crumbling and spread thinner than a skeleton fleet. I imagine our airforce does not have such impressive opportunities, but thank you for the insight Sam!

im only 13 but i already wanna be in the air force lol

Military propaganda, that's how they get you while you are young. Though I would say, at least Air Force is the best paying branch.

@naiuhz all branches pay the same.

I’ve played golf at the Air Force academy and the campus is breathtaking

I visited the U S Air Force Academy in 1978 as a tourist and an U S Air Force Reservist , found it’s incredibly fantastic . It was a trip from Wisconsin to visit my former Basic Military Training Center and instructor in Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio , Texas . God bless the U S Air Force and God Bless the USA . 🇺🇸

You work for 40yrs to have $1m in your retirement, Meanwhile some people are putting just $10k in a meme coin for just few months and now they are multi millionaires. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life

I'm surprised that this name is being mentioned here, I stumbled upon one of her clients testimony on CNBC news last week.

first

Great video, well presented! Love visiting when I go to Colorado to visit my son! Always spend money at the store in the visitors center! Thanks!

I had no idea you went to the academy. That is awesome!
