Cadet X spent most of her teenage years preparing to attend the Air Force Academy. What she didn't know was that when she got to the Academy, she would be raped by someone on the Drill Team, and that she would develop a medical condition that very well could prevent her from ever becoming a mother. The Air Force Academy's response? Silent and no justice. 

This brave Cadet also explains the critical issue of failing infrastructure at the Air Force Academy which has been giving Cadet's Chronic Rhinitis, affecting the medical readiness of our future officers. The Air Force Academy and the Association of Graduates has no problem spending millions upon millions of dollars to upgrade its football stadium, but simply is not investing enough time, money, and infrastructure spending to ensure Cadet's have a safe place to live and study during their four years at the Academy. As she explains, it is very rare that any Cadet makes it through their four year experience without experiencing some sort of trauma that is so easily preventable. The leaders of the Academy have absolutely failed its Cadets, and continue to turn their nose up at these critical issues that are being ignored.
