Some AF info from http://www.military.com/Recruiting/C..._usaf,,00.html
The Officer Training School at Maxwell AFB near Montgomery, Alabama, provides people with a bachelor's degree to earn a commission. Its rigorous 14-week program guides college graduates or degree airmen to commissions as Second Lieutenants.
In general terms, an officer must be a college or university graduate prior to commissioning, is trained by the Air Force to lead and manage, and can voluntarily leave the military if not under any officer service obligation at the time. Officers do not "enlist" in the Air Force and Air Force Reserve in the pure sense of the word, but individuals can compete for an enlistment option to go to Officers Training School to become a commissioned officer.
The Air Force trains pilots through its undergraduate pilot training program. Air Force pilots are generally officers who compete for the pilot training slots.
So, Stanford or any other college would do.
I have to wonder whether McKay knows where Sheppard went to college. That would seem to be common information to share early in a friendship. I would have loved to see McKay’s reaction when he found out that Sheppard graduated from a prestigious university (if he did).
