Impressive, to say the least. But wouldn't the high number of AFA graduates in the space program make sense? How many AF officers go through ROTC vs. AFA? And how many of those going through ROTC become pilots vs. AFA graduates? Not being facitious, honestly don't know. I'm only familiar with the Army side, especially since I went through the Old War Skule.

So like, what are they going to miss? Preppy sweaters and houndstooth hats? I'd rather see them supporting the military.

I'm glad to see them support the military also. Speaking of those hats, I haven't seen the two Barbie twins at Bama games this year. Wonder where they are, Bama just isn't the same without those two.:hihi:
