Two Air Force Academy cadets helped make history this week as they tossed their hats in the air. Twin sisters Amanda and Alicia Robillard joined their two older sisters as academy graduates, marking the first family to graduate four sisters. Older sister Lauren (class of 2007) is a helicopter pilot at Fairchild AFB in Washington and Nicole (class of 2009) serves as airfield operations officer at Arizona's Luke AFB, notes the SpringsMilitaryLife blog.

“While (my sisters) and my parents were sure to not make Amanda and I feel forced in any way, the fact that they were here opened us up to the opportunities and experiences that I would have not been aware of,” Alicia said. “In a sense, you could say it is like choosing the same college as your best friend, especially for Amanda and me.” The twins will be attending pilot training at Columbus AFB.
