    None. Since World War Two we have had one National Guard veteran of World War One as President (Truman), one West Point graduate (Eisenhower), four former Navy officers in a row who were OCS products (Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon and Ford), and one Naval Academy graduate (Carter). Ronald Wilson Reagan served as an Army officer during World War Two. President Bush the Elder was a Naval aviator in the Naval Reserve and flew in the Pacific theater in World War Two. President William Jefferson Clinton didn't serve in the armed forces. President Bush the Younger served as a commissioned officer and pilot in the Texas Air National Guard. He also volunteered for Operation Palace Alert which used Air Guard personnel in Indochina during the Vietnam conflict but he had qualified to fly what was deemed to be an aircraft obsolete for the mission.

    I served under seven of those Presidents.

    First response is correct. Only three Presidents have graduated from a military academy.

    Grant and Eisenhower from West Point, and Carter from Annapolis.

    None, The USAFA hasn't been around that long. Remember that the USAF was only created in 1947, with the Academy coming after that. We've only had two presidents that were in the USAF. Those being Ford and Bush (jr.). Ford went to Michigan where he played football. Bush went through ROTC and was in the Air Guard.

    Source(s): Was USAF

    You are so lucky to be starting early! Your GPA looks good so far. Make sure to keep to up, but still take very challenging classes. Join a few more clubs, but your leadership looks like it's off to a good start. Consider joining a sport. It's highly recommended, as USAFA is no cake walk. I would suggest getting started working out hard now. Besides that, you are off to a wonderful start. I would suggest starting your application early.
