Hey everyone,

I have dreamt of being a fighter pilot for as long as i can possibly remember. i however didnt honestly think it was possible for me utill recently. I was homeschooled after 8th grade, and finished with a GED. Im working to take my SAT and ACT. Is it really even possible for me to get into the academy at this point? My extra curricular isnt that great at the moment, my life has basicly for the last 6 or 7 years revolved BMX (racing and freestyle) where ive competed in nationals, been sponsored, did race for life, and trained other riders throughout my career, i know this isnt as big of a hit as highschool sports, or extra curricular work, but do you think that, combined with me working for the past year in a factory be good enough to be nominated, as well as accepted? One last question, what exactly do i need to do to get a nomination? I know i have to mail congressmen and senators, but how many should i send a letter to, is there a limit? Any and all info is very helpful

thanks for taking the time to read all that, and for any help you can provide Smile
