What makes the Air Force so Special to have reserved the right to be called The ONE AND ONLY "Academy?"

Just curious......
The 'academy' is just a nickname. The US military institutions are all highly regarded, prestigous institutions that are selective, and very challenging. Delta Connection Academy is a puppy mill, that will guarantee you any pilot certificate as long as you can pay their bills. DCA is anything but an 'academy'. They dont update their hiring news for a reason, because they will blatently lie to keep their students coming and pumping in those horrid amounts of money.

You wanna talk about safety, lets talk about a pilot getting a job at a regional after getting all their certificates in 90 days. Great concept! Flying is kewl!
