In addition to charging no tuition to attend classes, as well as no room and board, cadets are paid 35% of the base pay for a Second Lieutenant. This would figure out to be roughly $960 per month, however due to expenses such as paying for uniforms and other services automatically subtracted from cadet pay, cadets generally receive between $250 and $400 per month. Cadets are also given a daily food allowance for each day, however it is only received by the cadet when on leave away from the Academy; this money is usually routed directly to Mitchell Hall, the cadet dining facility.

Yes, cadets at the Air Force Academy receive a monthly stipend while they are enrolled in the institution. The stipend amount is based on the cadet's year in school, and it is meant to cover personal expenses. Additionally, cadets receive a full scholarship that covers the cost of tuition, room and board, and most expenses associated with attending the Academy.

Where do you train for the US Air Force?

There is only one training place for enlisted members of the Air Force, and it's at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. Some Air Force officer candidates go through Basic Cadet Training at the US Air Force Academy outside Colorado Springs, Colorado before becoming cadets and ultimately receiving commissions as officers there (assuming they graduate from the Air Force Academy).


How do you get into air force academy after basic training?

Basic Military Training is initial accession training for Enlisted Air Force Personnel. The Air Force Academy is a school for commissioned officers, and as such, after first getting accepted to the Air Force Academy, you must still go through Basic Cadet Training. If you plan on attending the Academy and have the ability to get accepted, I strongly recommend not entering enlisted basic training, as I have heard some graduates joke about how they went through 5 different Basic Trainings: Enlisted Basic, Academy Preparatory School (Where almost all prior enlisted cadets must spend a year before even beginning their 4 years at the Academy) Basic, Air Force Academy Basic, and then twice through the Academy Basic as cadre/instructors. The Air Force Academy application is a long process which includes writing samples, academic resumes, interviews, as well as medical examinations and physical fitness testing. The process of interviews, essays, and resumes is also repeated to acquire a Congressional Nomination to attend. For more specific information on this process, contact an Admission Liaison Officer.

If i join the Air Force before going to college will the Air Force supply me with a scholarship and if so how much and do i get to choose wich college?

Well the air force has many college options. You could go to the air force academy for free if you are selected but then you would have to be an officer for at least 6 years afterwards. another way is Air Force ROTC are located all over the U.S. including the university of Illinois. ROTC can get you a huge scholarship and sometimes can pay full tuition. With your dreams of becoming a pastor, Air Force Chaplaincy is the way to go! The air force can pay for a lot of the tuition if not all of it.

What is your ROTC time commitment after college?

Depends. If you attend one of the US Military Academies (West Point, Air Force Academy, Naval Academy, or Coast Guard Academy) or you go to school on an ROTC scholarship, you have an obligation to actively serve for five years. If you took ROTC but ROTC had nothing to do with funding your school, there is no obligation to go into the military.
