Sure YOU could, but I didn' say that - I was implying that the "flight training" that is being done there is screening for UPT (for those that want to be pilots). I wasn't including ALL USAFA Cadets, just the one's that want to attend UPT. Does that make sense?
Sorry...guess I'm just part of the Officer first crowd. I've always been told (and yes I do believe it) that the academies (and other commissioning programs) were screening for officers.
