About 6,600 US officers were killed in Vietnam; of which about 278 were graduates from West Point, 205 were graduates from the US Air Force Academy (mostly pilots or aircrewmen), about 130 men were from the US Naval Academy at Annapolis (again, mostly airmen), and the remainder were from Texas A&M, the Citadel, VMI, Virginia Poly Institute, Norwich, state military OCS or federal military OCS (Officer Candidate Schools).
Yes, although the selection is extremely difficult. There are three "Special Forces" jobs available for Air Force Academy graduates, Special Tactics Officer, Air Liaison Officer, and Combat Rescue Officer. Cadets who aspire to get into one of these jobs are oftentimes seen at the Academy pushing themselves to their breaking point just to do it again and again as soon as they recover, as all three are extremely difficult physically. High Academic performance is also desired for those who seek these jobs.
The mission of the United States Naval Academy is to develop midshipmen morally, mentally, and physically, and to imbue them with the highest ideals of duty, honor, and loyalty in order to provide graduates who are dedicated to a career of naval service and have potential for future development in mind and character to assume the highest responsibilities of command, citizenship, and government.
The Air Force college IS the Air Force Academy!
Yes and No. The Air Force Academy does accept transfer students, in fact, many cadets do a year elsewhere before coming to the Academy. The bottom line for transfers is that all graduates attend the Air Force Academy for 4 years. If you transfer, you will have to start as a freshman, or a Fourth Class Cadet, even if transferring from an AFROTC unit where you have already finished your time as a Fourth Class or maybe even Third Class AFROTC Cadet.
