Meet C1C Max Lasco from Houston, Texas.
 
Max is majoring in Foreign Area Studies with minors in Chinese and Spanish, all while preparing for a future in Special Operations following post-graduate studies in Public Policy. 🇺🇸🎓
 
From serving as the Cadet-in-Charge of the usafamarathon team to traveling to over 15 countries, Max embodies the spirit of a lifelong learner and warrior-scholar. 🏃‍♂️🌍
 
As a third-generation cadet from a proud usairforce family, Max was drawn to #USAFA by a legacy of service and the Academy’s unique blend of challenge, education and purpose.
 
One of Max’s most memorable experiences was his semester exchange at the Colombian Air Force Academy, where he forged lifelong friendships and deepened his global perspective. 🇨🇴💫
 
“Do hard things, take care of your people, and say yes to adventures big and small.”
