WHY USAFA?: 'Most of it was gymnastics and the cost, but I also thought job opportunities would be unparalleled and I thought it would be interesting to be a pilot. There are a lot of opportunities, with and without the team, to travel worldwide and the education, the teacher to student ratio, and the degree were all important. '
