Why Join USAFA WOL Now?

Black Graduates of the United States Air Force Academy are bound by their shared journey through one of the most rigorous training programs for military officers. This experience forges a unique camaraderie rooted in overcoming challenges and achieving excellence in leadership.

The connections formed during this transformative period create a supportive network that extends well beyond graduation. As we come together, we leverage these bonds to foster a diverse and inclusive community.

“Diversity is a leadership issue.” Charles V. Bush ’63. And “Together” we can continue to break barriers, shatter ceilings, and soar to new heights.
