Air Force Cadet John C. Cordova, son of John L. and Jeannie Cordova of El Dorado Hills, has graduated from the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. The graduate also received a bachelor of science degree and was commissioned as a second lieutenant.
The academy offers a four-year educational program of instruction and experience, including military training, academics, physical training, athletic conditioning and character and ethical development designed to provide cadets with the knowledge and character essential for air and space leaders, and the motivation to serve as Air Force career officers.
The new lieutenants go on to serve as pilots, navigators, engineers, maintenance officers, professionals in various management and technical fields. Some attend medical or graduate school with special scholarships, while others go directly to non-rated Air Force-wide assignments.
Cordova is a 2002 graduate of Oak Ridge High School. He is scheduled to attend undergraduate pilot training at Vance Air Force Base in Oklahoma.
