About For the Zoomies

The For the Zoomies podcast is hosted by Air Force Academy cadet Andrew Cormier, with the intention of helping anyone who is thinking about commissioning into the United States Air Force by providing insight into what jobs in this branch are like. Every episode is an interview with an Air Force officer asking questions to get a first-hand, in-depth perspective on what different mission sets are like. Tune in for some insight and a war story or two! The views presented are those of the speaker or author and do not necessarily represent the views of DoD or its components
