MAXWELL AIR FORCE BASE, Ala. --  

 

After a virtual selection board process in April, the Air Force Culture and Language Center selected 104 Cadets for the Language Enabled Airman Program. Of the 104 Cadets selected, 67 were chosen from the United States Air Force Academy and 37 from Air Force Reserve Officers’ Training Corps in 14 languages. Six of the selects will commission into the United States Space Force while 98 will commission into the United States Air Force.

Participation in LEAP is voluntary and highly competitive. To become a LEAP scholar, cadets must demonstrate proficiency in a foreign language specified on the Air Force Strategic Language List, receive an endorsement from their unit commander, and compete via a board process. Selection to LEAP is based on applicants’ existing language proficiency, potential to achieve higher levels of language proficiency, and Department of the Air Force language requirements.

Below are the names of the 104 Cadets who are now members of LEAP. You can also watch our announcement video, on AFCLC’s Facebook channel.
