Also, even if you're a legacy, in the service academies you still have to pass the entrance exams. The legacy thing gets you a leg-up afterward.

Legacy/Race is an advantage, why else have those questions

Sure Legacy/Minority students can be at the top of their class.
Pilot spots are competitive, top of the class/legacy gets first chance at
the flight spots. Everyone wants to fly jets, they are the rock stars
