I want to attend the AIM program to understand what the United States Coast Guard Academy is, what they do and how they do things. I want to get the chance to experience what the Cadets at the Academy do every day and the challenges they face to become officers in the Coast Guard. I want to know and understand what it takes to get accepted in the United States Coast Guard Academy. My expectations for the one-week program are to experience military discipline, to be pushed hard, mentally and physically and to get the opportunity to ask questions. I look forward to participating in team building exercises, building a robot for competition (AROW) and building leadership skills.
