Firstie Departure
Before leaving the Air Force Academy as freshly-minted Second Lieutenants, the Class of 2025 cadets got a sendoff that offered resources that may prove helpful as the soon-to-be officers begin their careers.
The Association and Foundation hosted Firstie Departure on April 28 in the Arnold Hall Ballroom to provide a variety of helpful information including details on how to stay connected to the graduate community.
Most cadets come to the Academy straight out of high school and have never had to budget their money for housing, utilities or even food. Those and many other benefits including medical care are provided to cadets while at the Academy.
During Firstie Departure, fellow graduates and professional experts including a brief from NCO’s offered life skills tips on housing, financial wellness, purchasing your first home, life-work balance and more.
A huge thank to the sponsors that came out USAA, MOAA, Jostens, Hotel Polaris, Your Castle Real Estate- Roger Hill, Surver Homes, Dallas School of Etiquette, Fletcher Team & Associates, Outdoor Rec, Military Family Readiness, EMFP, Air Force Finance, Crumbl Cookie, The Rampart Chapter, and the Legacy Class of 1975!
