As others have commented, USAFA is a tough place to be. You have few of the freedoms that your civilian friends enjoy (though that has changed recently). However, when you get out, you have a responsible job with good pay, and limitless opportunities. I've gotten several interviews on the strength of only the interviewer's curiosity about my background, USAFA in particular. It's an OK place to be - BUT - a GREAT place to be from.
