You know, I figured the response would be something akin to what you gentlemen have been so kind as to post. Feedback appreciated.
To set the record straight, this is NOT a show about cadets and black ops... that wouldn't make much sense now would it?
If you would like to understand what it's all about, you can actually read the script for the Pilot Episode at www.durusproductions.com

Sounds hokey beyond belief.
The Air Force Academy?
And I thought that it couldn't get any worse after "The Unit". 
Double thumbs down.

Have a Cigar (Waters / Pink Floyd)
Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar.
You're gonna go far, fly high, You're never gonna die,
You're gonna make it if you try; They're gonna love you.
Well I've always had a deep respect, And I mean that most sincerely.
The CONCEPT is just fantastic, that is really what QP thinks.
Oh by the way, which one's PTWOP106?
(please don't close it! I have lots of GREAT Ideas! and if it will get me out of Illinois and back to the BEACH near Los Angeles, I'm ALL IN!)

Whew Back, babe. Sit, sit, can I get you something, Perrier? Did I say I'd get right back to you? I did didn't I? Do I lie? NO I do not. Trust me. Have a Cigar.
Love it Babe, Love You. I’ve had my people look it over and as I said we love it. I did say “I love it’ didn’t I. Sure I did. See you can trust me. We need to make a few changes. Little one, you will hardly notice them.
First, way too many SEALS. And his name has to be Jim. Since that is where you will find him before and after every op. But, that will sell to the ladies lots of no-shirt-iron-pumping.
THE AIRPLANE DRIVER has to be a GIRL! She has to be beautiful in a no-nonsense-but-perky-innocent – Young Meg Ryan – way. She can be an AF grad too. But her back story is she was an “ugly duckling”. But she made herself look that way so the Male cadets would leave her alone. She did this because her DAD is a retired Special Forces Master Sergeant who popped up occasionally at the campus (or whatever you called it, babe . . . Still with me?) And would threaten to beat the crap out of anyone who went near his darling daughter (Including the Lesbians) This will be a GOLDMINE! Tension, family angst, humor appeals to the Teenage girls and Wannabe Dads. Ohmagawd! Now, she has to be beautiful. But Smart . . . She can fly anything in anyone’s inventory! OH WAIT . . . But she can’t navigate to save her life (you are going to love this!) so . . . she taps a different friend (And what do you think the friend looks like? See where I’m goin’ with this?) to plan the route with her! (Lots of “leanin’ over the chart table” shots!) Gold, babe, just gold!
This is just in prelim babe. And I really do know a great Story board artist. Have your people call my people!
OH OH OH Ohhhhhhhhhhhh! And this! you Got to get SAM from "BURN NOTICE" (Lift him right out and put him in this). You NEED a good "Outside-but-still-connected, Inside-the-System" operator. Pink Floyd has never been more right!

If the intent of the show is to be over-the-top Tom Clancy-esque, you have an interesting storyline. If you were aiming at having a shred of reality beyond the fact that the cited units exist and that a "handful" of cadets successfully cross-commission in each class, I think you missed the mark. Of course, most of the GAP have no idea how things really work in the military, so if you make the show exciting enough to attract and keep viewers, you might have some success a la "The Unit". Fiction can be very entertaining.

Our bothers in blue are great guys and gals, but "operators"? This makes me laugh, but if they want to do a AF show, they should concentrate on the PJ's and not worry about AF officers.

Great! Why do I hear John Travolta, as "Chili Palmer" saying, "Look at me, Ray!"

Sounds like a remake of the old "A-Team" series...only with Jimmie Walker (JJ on "Good Times") playing the part of Sgt. Bosco B.A. "Bad Attitude" Baracus (played by Mr T on the "The A-Team")!
