"Study hard, but also remember to play hard. The friends you make at the Academy will become lifelong friends, and the foundation of those friendships all start at the Academy!" --Capt. Lauren Bailey, an MC-130H pilot, and our #GradSpotlight today! She's a 2012 Academy grad who believes in taking life and your career one day at a time. "USAFA and pilot training graduation, promotions, command selection, etc., are all long term goals. Some days it will seem impossible to ever reach those goals, but if you take it one day at a time and focus on what you can control each day, you’ll be amazed at what all you’ll accomplish. Don’t let one bad day or one failure derail you from your end goals."
