Meet C1C Ben Foster from Woodland Hills, California.
 
Ben is a Geospatial Science major with a minor in Arabic and will attend pilot training upon graduation. 🎓✈️
 
Inspired by his family’s long tradition of military service and early exposure to aviation through his grandfather’s flight simulators, he knew #USAFA was the perfect fit. 

His grandfather served as a usairforce air traffic controller, while his great-grandfather worked on usnavy radar systems during WWII.
 
Ben serves as the Cadet Squadron 10 commander, is co-president of the Jewish Chapel and plays club baseball to pass his time. ⚾️
 
His favorite memories include traveling to davismonthan_afb for Ops Air Force and going to Oman through the Cadet Summer Language Immersion Program. 🇴🇲
 
"My advice to future cadets is to talk to as many current cadets as you can. Get a full picture of Academy life so you can set yourself up for success."
