My son recieved a call from an Air Force coach last night. They talked for almost an hour while I tried to hear one side of the conversation while watching the Dallas Mav's game.
What was weird to me, and the reason for the post. The coach basically offered him a spot on his roster if my son could get in to the Academy.
What's weird about this is they haven't ever seen my son play to my knowledge. His HS coach filled out the questionaire and mailed it back to them this spring, but to say our HS coach is conservative on the questionaires might be an understatement.
So, is Air Force just looking for bodies?
Looked up their record, and they seem to have struggled the past couple of years.
Now, do I think my son could contribute to their team while getting one of the best educations in the world? You bet! And my son has always dreamed of flying F-16's, but this whole thing has me puzzled.
Any input?
