Game Day

Game day at Falcon Stadium is truly a remarkable experience. From the pre-game ly-bys and marchon to the Drum and Bugle Corps and the spirited cadet section, Falcon Stadium is the place to be on Saturday.

Air Force Football 2010 -- 7


Traditions

After every game the Falcons stand hand-in-hand in front of the cadet wing as the Drum and Bugle Corps plays the alma mater (above). Prior to every service academy game, the “prisoners of war� are exchanged at mid ield. The POWs are exchange cadets from the other academies who sit with their respective academies during the game (above). 8 -- Air Force Football 2010


Like No Other

One of the only performing mascots in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision, the Falcon swoops in on the lure at halftime during a game last season (bottom). After every Falcon score, the cadets storm the ield and do pushups for every Air Force point on the board (center). In Air Force’s 72-0 win over Nicholls State last season, the cadets did 419 pushups.

The Bullard Award T

he Bullard Award is voted on by the team based on the criteria that typifies Brian Bullard - unselfishness, 110 percent effort, total team commitment and pride in his role on the team whether he’s a starter or not. A memorial is located in the Falcon Athletic Center so that every football player sees it every day. The memorial has Brian’s picture and the name and photo of each year’s winner. A 1982 graduate of Air Academy High School in Colorado Springs, Brian attended the Academy the following year. After playing on the junior varsity his freshman year, he made the varsity and lettered as a sophomore in 1983. During Thanksgiving vacation that year, Brian, a member of Cadet Squadron 27, and cadet Dianne Williams of Cameron, Mo., were returning from Kansas and were caught in a snow storm. The two died from carbon monoxide poisoning. Williams was a member of Cadet Squadron 33 and played on the women’s varsity golf team. The Brian Bullard award is presented annually at the Falcon football team banquet. Brian was the epitome of everything Air Force Football stands for. Brian’s life is used not only for motivation, but as the benchmark each Falcon football player should strive to attain. The criteria established for the award were taken directly from the life of Brian Bullard. The recipient of this prestigious award cares about the team first and himself second. He loves his team and his teammates and will do everything he can to make his brothers better. He is a source of encouragement for everyone and truly leads by example. He gives his all and truly enjoys every practice. He shows great pride in his role on the team and is a pleasure to coach. Though he played just two seasons with the football team, Brian left quite an impression.

Senior Ben Garland was the recipient of the Brian Bullard award at the 2009 Air Force Football Awards Banquet at the Broadmoor Hotel. Garland, from Grand Junction, Colo., was one of the most dominant defensive linemen in the conference in 2009. His 4.5 sacks and 10.5 tackles for loss per game ranked in the top three in the league for defensive tackles/nose guards. He finished the season with 45 tackles,three pass breakups, two blocked kicks and a forced fumble. He did so while playing the majority of the season with a cast on his broken left hand.

Where the Falcons Play TCF Bank Stadium at University of Minnesota In 2009, Air Force played Minnesota in the first-ever game in the new TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. The stadium seats 50,000 and, at the time it was built, had the second-largest college football scoreboard in the nation. The scoreboard was also the fifth-largest in all sports - college and professional.

Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego Every other year, the Air Force football team plays on the same field that has hosted three Super Bowls (1988, 1998 and 2003). In fact, Qualcomm, also the home of the San Diego Chargers, is the only stadium to ever host the Super Bowl and World Series in the same year (1998). The stadium has also hosted two Major League Baseball All-Star Games and is the former home of the San Diego Padres.

Gaylord Family - Oklahoma Memorial Stadium Air Force will play Oklahoma at Gaylord Family - Memorial Stadium in Norman, Sept. 18. The stadium seats 82,112 and is one of the largest on-campus football stadiums in the country.

Less than 45 minutes from the Academy and with over 300 days of sunshine per year, The Mile High City of Denver has it all. Truly a sports capitol, Denver has nine professional sports teams, including the Denver Broncos (NFL), Denver Nuggets (NBA), Colorado Avalanche (NHL), Colorado Rockies (MLB), Colorado Rapids (Major League Soccer), Colorado Crush (Arena Football League), Denver Dynamite (Indoor Soccer League), Denver Outlaws (Major League Lacrosse) and the Colorado Mammoth (National Lacrosse League). Recent success among the teams has driven the excitement for these teams a mountain high. The Broncos won the Super Bowl in 1998 and 1999. The Avalanche won the Stanley Cup in 1996 and 2001. The Crush won the Arena Bowl in 2005. Located just east of the Rocky Mountains and the Continental Divide, Denver has a mild and dry climate with more days of sunshine per year than San Diego and Miami. Golf courses are open year round as the average winter temperature is 45 degrees, warmer than Boston, New York City and St. Louis. The city sits at 5,280 feet above sea level. In fact, there is a step on the State Capitol Building that is exactly one mile above sea level. Even at a mile above sea level, the city is dwarfed by its backdrop. The foothills being just west of the city and the peaks of the mountain range reach heights of more than 14,000 feet. Despite the proximity to the mountains, the city receives just 8-15 inches of precipitation per year, about the same as Los Angeles. The United States Census Bureau estimates that, in 2006, the population of the City and County of Denver was 566,974, making it the 27th most populous U.S. city. The Denver-Aurora Metropolitan Statistical Area had an estimated 2006 population of 2,408,750 and ranked as the 21st most populous U.S. metropolitan statistical area. Denver has the largest city park system in the nation. There are 650 miles of off-street, bike paths, 90 golf courses and 200 parks. Within a 90-minute drive from downtown Denver, there are opportunities for some of the country’s best skiing, hiking, fishing, rafting and mountain biking.

The immortal words of an eastern visitor in 1893 live perpetually at the base of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. When teacher and poet Katherine Lee Bates took a wagon ride to the summit of Pikes Peak she was inspired to write a song that is still recited today. Her view from atop the 14,110-foot peak was the basis of her song “America the Beautiful”. The history of Colorado Springs traverses back to 1870 when Gen. William Jackson Palmer first visited the region and was captivated by its grandeur. A year later, he began designing his city of dreams. From its beginning on the corner of Pikes Peak and Cascade Avenues in downtown Colorado Springs, the city has grown more than 183 square miles and to nearly 400,000 people in the city and 600,000 in the metro area. Colorado Springs is known nationally for its natural attractions. The Garden of the Gods, the area’s No. 1 natural MERICA S EST attraction, is a majestic out-cropping of red sandstone rocks which are more than 300 million years old. Colorado Springs Colorado Springs was is also home to the Pikes Peak Highway, a 19-mile drive up ranked as the No. 1 Best the world’s highest toll road.

State of the art. Unmatched. Cutting-edge. You choose. But one thing is unmistakable, the new Falcon Athletic Center (FAC) is one of the nation's best facilities. The new facility was part of a military construction project that not only built the new building, but altered the existing Cadet Field House. The $30.3 million project included 161,000 total square feet, including the Falcon Athletic Center's 109,000 square feet and a 51,000 square foot renovation of the Cadet Field House. The new building opened in July 2003, while the Field House was completed in March 2004. Student-athletes' schedules at the Academy are institutionally driven, unlike that of most civilian schools where student-athletes have much more free time. Student-athletes at the Academy are allotted from 2:30 to 6:30 p.m. daily for athletic pursuits. That time must be used for practice, for transit to and from the dormitory area and the Cadet Gymnasium or Cadet Field House, medical taping and treatment and conditioning in the weight room. In addition, competition at the NCAA Division I level has become a year-round proposition for all athletes, whether they are cadets or their counterparts at civilian institutions. Understanding that the Academy enrollment of 4,400 consists of roughly 25 percent student-athletes (1,000), the existing athletic facilities were taxed. The same was true for the existing medical treatment and weight room facilities. In addition to the student-athletes, the Academy also uses these facilities for its massive intramural sports program. The 3,000 cadets who are not intercollegiate athletes participate in intramural activities adding about 1,200 to 1,500 cadets in the athletic facilities at the same time. The Falcon Athletic Center houses new sports medicine and weight training facilities, as well as new locker rooms, team meeting facilities and equipment issue and storage. In addition, the athletic administration and football program personnel have offices in the FAC. The first level of the building is for equipment storage and issue, football lockers and the medical and training facilities. The second level consists of a two-story weight room, coaches offices and a reception area. This area gives guests and visitors the opportunity to visit the history of intercollegiate athletics and past greats, along with the intramural programs. A spacious outdoor plaza area with room for displays takes up the third level while the fourth level is for athletic administration.

The Air Force Academy The United States Air Force Academy offers a fouryear program of instruction and experience designed to educate, train and inspire men and women to become officers of character, motivated to lead the United States Air Force in service to our nation. Each cadet graduates with a bachelor of science degree and a commission as a second lieutenant in the Air Force. COURSE OF STUDY Cadets are exposed to a balanced curriculum that provides the knowledge, skills and responsibilities essential to a career Air Force officer. The entire USAFA experience is integrated and mapped to achieve a set of desired outcomes in every graduate. The core academic curriculum includes courses in basic sciences, engineering, social sciences and humanities. Cadets take additional elective courses to complete requirements for one of 32 major areas of study. About 50 percent of the cadets complete majors in science and engineering; the remainder graduate in the social sciences and humanities. Some of the most popular majors include management, aeronautical engineering, foreign area studies, history, behavioral science, civil engineering, astronautical engineering, electrical engineering and engineering mechanics. FACULTY COMPOSITION The majority of the Academy's faculty members, more than 500 total, are Air Force officers. They are selected primarily from career-officer volunteers who have established outstanding records of performance and dedication. Each has at least a master's degree and more than 55 percent have doctorates or other terminal degrees in their field of study. About 30 percent of the faculty are civilians who bring great depth of disciplinary and educational expertise and provide academic stability and continuity. Faculty members are intensely focused on cadet learning as an integral part of their officer development. The Air Force Academy has been ranked No. 1 in the nation for the most accessible and involved faculty for four years in a row. To provide greater contributions by a diverse faculty, the Academy has several distinguished visiting professors and endowed professors who serve one or more years. Officers from other services, as well as officers from allied countries are also members of the faculty. Distinguished civilian and military lecturers also share their expertise with the cadets during the academic year. ATHLETIC PROGRAM The Academy's athletic program is designed to improve physical fitness, teach athletic skills and develop leadership qualities. To achieve its goals, the Academy offers some of the most extensive physical education, intramural sports and intercollegiate athletic programs in the nation. Cadets take at least three different physical education courses each year. Air Force Football

MILITARY EDUCATION AND TRAINING An air, space and cyberspaceoriented military education, training and leadership program begins with basic cadet training and continues throughout the four years. Seniors are responsible for the organizational leadership of the cadet wing, while juniors and sophomores seek to develop team and interpersonal leadership and instructional skills. Cadets are projected into as many active leadership roles as possible to prepare them to be effective Air Force officers. Fundamental concepts of military organization -- drill, ethics, honor, Air Force heritage and physical training -- are emphasized the first summer during basic cadet training. Freshmen then study the military role in United States society as well as the mission and organization of the Air Force. Sophomores receive instruction in communication skills and juniors study the combat and operational aspects of the Air Force. The Academy offers courses in flying, navigation, soaring and parachuting, building from basic skills to instructor duties. Some cadets may fly light aircraft with the Cadet Flying Team. Summer training for cadets is divided into three, three-week training periods. There are a variety of programs available and each cadet is required to complete two training periods each summer with leave during the other period. All new cadets take six weeks of basic cadet training in their first summer. Combat survival training is a required threeweek program during cadets' second summer. For other second-summer training periods, cadets have options such as working with Airmen in an operational unit at an Air Force installation, airborne parachute training, soaring or basic free-fall parachute training. During their last two summers, all cadets are offered leadership training as supervisors or instructors in the summer programs listed above. Extracurricular activities also are an integral part of the education program. The cadet ski club, drum and bugle corps, cadet chorale and forensics are a few of the programs available.

HISTORY OF THE ACADEMY In 1948, a board of leading civilian and military educators was appointed to plan the curriculum for an academy that would meet the needs of the newly established Air Force. The board determined that Air Force requirements could not be met by expanding the other service academies and recommended an Air Force Academy be established without delay. In 1949, then Secretary of the Air Force W. Stuart Symington appointed a commission to assist in selecting a site and on April 1, 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower authorized creation of the United States Air Force Academy. After considering 580 sites in 45 states, the commission narrowed the choice to three locations. The summer of 1954, Secretary of the Air Force Harold Talbott selected a site near Colorado Springs, Colo. Colorado contributed $1 million toward purchase of the property.

NOMINATIONS Nominations to the Academy may be obtained through a congressional sponsor or by meeting eligibility criteria in other categories of competition established by law. For information on admission procedures, write to HQ USAFA/RRS; 2304 Cadet Drive, Suite 200; USAF Academy, CO 80840-5025.

In July 1955, the first Academy class entered interim facilities at Lowry Air Force Base, Denver, while construction began. It was sufficiently completed for occupancy by the cadet wing in late August 1958. Initial construction cost was $142 million.

Director of Athletics

Dr. Hans J. Mueh Director of Athletics Dr. Hans J. Mueh is in his seventh year as the director of athletics at the Air Force Academy. A retired Air Force brigadier general, Mueh was vice dean of faculty for two years prior to his retirement from active duty in the summer of 2004. Mueh was heavily involved in Academy athletics before becoming director of athletics. He was the Academy's faculty athletics representative from 19962004 and was a long-time member of the board of directors for the Air Force Academy Athletics Association. Since becoming the director of athletics, Mueh has led the Academy to some remarkable feats. In 2007, the Academy was one of only three schools (Michigan State and Boston College) to reach post-season play in football (2007), men’s basketball and ice hockey (200607). It marked the first time a service academy has ever had a team compete in the post-season in all three sports. In addition, under Mueh’s watch the men’s basketball team has played in an NCAA tournament and the National Invitational Tournament’s Final Four. The ice hockey team won three straight conference championships and made three straight appearances in the NCAA tournament. Mueh was on the selection committee that hired current head coach Frank Serratore and led the Academy’s move into the Athletic Hockey Association. The football program, the Academy’s flagship sport, has gone through a major overhaul under Mueh. He led the transition from the retirement of the legendary Fisher DeBerry after 23 years at the helm to hiring current head coach Troy Calhoun, a 1989 Academy graduate. Calhoun’s impact was immediate, leading the Falcons to a 9-4 overall mark and a second-place finish in the Mountain West Conference in 2007. The Falcons qualified for their first bowl game in five years, playing in the Armed Forces Bowl in 2007. The program has posted back-to-back eight-win seasons and qualified for bowl games since, marking the first time since 1990-92 Air Force has been to a bowl three straight years.

Seventh Year

door Training Facility that broke ground in the summer of 2010. The $15 million facility will be completed early in 2011. Mueh has also been active within the conference and the NCAA. He was recently selected to be part of the NCAA Division I Amateurism Cabinet and has been active on the NCAA’s academics/eligibility compliance cabinet, the men’s golf committee and the region 7 postgraduate scholarship committee. Mueh has been equally active within the conference on various leadership committees. He is currently on the awards and recognition committee and has previously served on the joint council executive committee, and committees on championships, television and sportsmanship. Before assuming his duties as vice dean at the Academy, Mueh was permanent professor and head of the department of chemistry at the Academy, a position he held since October 1987 where he oversaw the annual design and instruction of 25 undergraduate courses for 1,500 cadets annually. Mueh was born Jan. 8, 1944, in Celle, Germany, and emigrated to the United States in 1951. He entered the Air Force in 1962 as a member of the Academy's eighth graduating class, and graduated with a bachelor of science degree in chemistry in 1966. While at the Academy, Mueh was a two-year letterwinner in soccer as a goalie. He still holds the Academy record for saves in a game with 30, accomplishing it twice in 1965 against North Carolina and Benedictine. In his junior and senior years, Mueh helped the Falcons to the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Soccer League championship and quarterfinal berths in the NCAA tournament. He was a first-team allleague selection in 1965. Following graduation, Mueh completed two assignments in intelligence before attending the University of Wisconsin where he earned his master's degree in chemistry in

1970. He later earned a doctorate degree in chemistry from Wisconsin in 1976 as a distinguished graduate. He has also completed Squadron Officer School, Air Command and Staff College and Air War College. Between earning the two degrees, Mueh returned to the Academy as an instructor in the department of chemistry from 1970-72. He also served as assistant soccer coach and played semi-pro soccer with the Aurora Internationals in Denver during those two years, leading the Internationals to the Colorado state title in 1971. He volunteered for duty in Vietnam and served as an intelligence officer in Saigon, Republic of Vietnam and at Nakhon Phanom RTAB, Thailand, in 1972 and 1973. After earning his doctorate degree, Mueh returned to the Academy in 1976 as an associate professor of chemistry. He remained at the Academy except for a stint in 1985-86 as the special assistant for technical matters at the Defense Intelligence Agency at the Pentagon. In 1986, he assumed the position of acting head, department of chemistry, before being selected for his position of permanent professor and head of the department of chemistry in 1987. As faculty athletics representative, he was active in both the Western Athletic Conference and Mountain West Conference, and was the Academy's representative on the transition team to form the new MWC, the only faculty athletics representative on the team. He competes in golf, racquetball, handball and tennis, and has promoted Air Force Academy intercollegiate sports throughout his tenure, beginning with work as chairman of the hockey eligibility committee, officer representative to the men's golf team and five years as the officer representative to the football team. Mueh is married to the former Sally Flax of Cincinnati, Ohio. They have three children: Kristine, Kurt and Deborah.

Mueh has been just as successful behind the scenes with the administration of the department. Mueh restructured the department with an internal/external model that has streamlined resources and made the department more effective from top to bottom. In addition, he has the department on course to become a federally chartered non-profit organization which will lead to more fund-raising opportunities. Mueh was instrumental in the USAFA Endowment and the announcement of an InAir Force Football

Air Force Athletics Few schools in the country have an athletic program as extensive as the Air Force Academy's. The goals of the athletic program are to enhance the physical conditioning of all cadets, to develop the physical skills necessary for officership, to teach leadership in a competitive environment and to build character. There are three subdivisions of the athletic program: intercollegiate athletics, intramurals and physical education. The intercollegiate program has 17 men's and 10 women's NCAAsanctioned teams, facing some of the top competition in the nation. Men’s teams are football, baseball, basketball, ice hockey, cross-country, fencing, golf, gymnastics, indoor and outdoor track, lacrosse, rifle, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, water polo and wrestling. The Academy fields women's teams in basketball, cross-country, fencing, gymnastics, rifle, indoor and outdoor track, swimming and diving, soccer, tennis and volleyball. In addition, the Academy sponsors two non-NCAA programs; boxing and cheerleading. The majority of the Academy’s men’s and women’s programs compete at the NCAA Division I level in the Mountain West Conference. The Falcons compete in this conference against teams from Brigham Young, New Mexico, Colorado State, San Diego State, TCU, Wyoming, Utah and UNLV. All sports also compete against non-conference opponents, including many nationally-ranked teams.

The football team competes annually for the Commander-inChief's Trophy, which is emblematic of service academy football supremacy. The Falcons have won the trophy 16 times, which is more than Army and Navy combined. The winner of the annual rivalry visits the White House to have the trophy presented by the President of the United States. The USAFA Cadet Field House is one of the most impressive buildings in the country. It’s a modern, versatile structure with seemingly endless uses. The $5.6 million building is five stories high and 396 feet by 426 feet, the size of three football fields laid side by side. The structure is divided into three areas--basketball arena, ice hockey arena and multipurpose area. The three sections have a combined seating capacity of more than 9,000. Clune Arena seats 5,834. The Cadet Ice Rink has a seating capacity of 2,470, while the multipurpose area seats 1,000 fans for track and field competitions. The department’s newest facility is the Indoor Training Facility (pictured left), which will be completed in early 2011.

The Falcon Sports audiences across the country have been intrigued and delighted by the aerobatics of the falcon, the flying mascot of the U.S. Air Force Academy -- one of only two schools with performing mascots in the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The falcon can attain velocities exceeding 200 miles per hour in swoops or dives, turn sharply and streak only inches above the ground, making it the fastest and one of the most maneuverable of all birds. Trained and handled by cadet falconers, the birds soar and dive, sometimes zooming low over the heads of spectators. While their public flying performances are primarily limited to outdoor venues -- most often at football games and cadet wing parades -- the falcons appear at many other athletic contests in which cadet teams play. Members of the Class of 1959, the first to enter the Academy, chose the falcon as the mascot of the cadet wing Sept. 25, 1955, feeling that it best characterized the combat role of the U.S. Air Force. They did not specify any particular species; thus, any falcon can serve as mascot. Some of the characteristics which led to its selection were speed, powerful and graceful flight, courage, keen eyesight, alertness, regal carriage and noble tradition. The falcon exemplified the qualities sought in Air Force Academy cadets: courage, intelligence, love of the wild sky, ferocity in attack, but gentle in repose, and discipline. Experts once said falcons could not be trained to perform before huge crowds, that the birds would panic and flee. Since 1956, however, cadets have flown the birds at sporting events before thousands of cheering spectators. Six weeks or more and an average of 300 man-hours per bird are required to properly train a young falcon via operant conditioning. When a bird is in top condition, it is able to fly for more than an hour and make repeated stoops at the baited lure swung by the cadet falconer. Although they can be trained to perform, falcons are never totally domesticated and remain wild creatures with strong, individual and independent spirits. On Oct. 5, 1955, a splendid peregrine was the first falcon presented to the cadet wing. It was named “Mach 1,” referring to the speed of sound. Today, 12 to 15 falcons are kept in the mews (enclosures for trained hawks) north of the cadet area. Current breeds of falcons at the Academy include several breeds of falcons which are native to North America, inAir Force Football

cluding prairie falcons, peregrine falcons, and the largest type of falcon, the gyrfalcon. The Academy recently added several gyrsaker hybrids and a gyr-peregrine hybrid to its ranks. Sakers are a strong and agile midto-large size breed of falcon, native to Eastern Europe and Asia. Sakers have been cross-bred with the larger gyrfalcons in recent years to produce a highly intelligent, agile and powerful breed of performing falcon, and have flown at the Academy since 2003. In addition to flying performances, the falcons and cadet falconers visit dozens of schools, scouting groups, youth groups, airshows and other public events around the country, educating youth and adults alike on falconry, raptors, the Air Force and the Air Force Academy. On June 8, 1996, the Association of Graduates purchased a female white-phase gyrfalcon from Mr. Dan Konkle in Sheridan, Wyo., and donated her to the Academy. The cadet wing named this new mascot Aurora - from Roman mythology, the goddess of the dawn. She is now the official mascot for the United States Air Force Academy and has become the center of attention for the Academy’s Falcon Mascot Program. At a mere 40 days old, this majestic creature weighed four pounds. Glacier, our previous white-phase gyrfalcon Mascot from 1980-95, only weighed two pounds. Although any falcon can serve as an Academy mascot, the white-phase gyrfalcon is native to Alaska, Canada, Greenland and the U.S.-Canadian border, and has always been the official mascot of the Air Force Academy. Gyrfalcons constitute only about five percent of the total number of falcons found in the United States. Of that five percent, only about 3-4 percent are true white-phase gyrfalcons.

WHY THE FALCON? Speed Can attain velocities exceeding 200 miles per hour in stoops or dives on their prey. Power Powerful and graceful flight, with strong, deep wing beats; they maneuver with ease, grace and evident enjoyment. Courage Fearless and aggressive, falcons fiercely defend their nest and young against intruders. They have been known to unhesitatingly attack and kill prey more than twice their size. Keen eyesight About eight times sharper than man. Alertness, regal carriage and noble tradition. Falconry is one of the extracurricular activities offered to cadets. There are usually 12 falconers, with four chosen from each new class at the end of the year to replace graduating seniors. The new falconers begin training in January under the leadership of experienced upperclassmen and the officerin-charge. Without proper instruction, novices can physically harm the birds or adversely affect their training. Falconers’ duties include daily checks of each bird’s health and condition, training sessions during which the birds are fed a measured ration of meat, frequent cleaning of the mews and routine maintenance of equipment. During performances, the birds fly to a lure, a rectangular-shaped leather pouch. The falconer whirls the lure in a circle on a 30-foot cord; the bird quickly learns to strike it in mid-air, carry it to the ground and dine on the food. As the bird stoops toward the lure in free flight, the lure is jerked aside, causing the falcon to fly up, circle and make another pass. This procedure is repeated several times before the bird is allowed to strike the lure in midair. The falcon performs this task knowing that as soon as it catches the lure, it earns its meal for the day. A small battery-powered transmitter and a bell are attached to each leg so that, should the bird not come to the lure as it had been trained, the cadet falconers will be able to follow and safely recover the falcon.

The Air Force Song

History of the Air Force Song In 1938, Liberty magazine sponsored a contest for a spirited, enduring musical composition to become the official Army Air Corps song. Of 757 scores submitted, Robert Crawford’s was selected by a committee of Air Force wives. The song was officially introduced at the Cleveland Air Races on September 2, 1939. Fittingly, Crawford sang it in its first public performance. The first page of the score, which Crawford submitted to the selection committee in July 1939, was carried to the surface of the moon on July 30, 1971, aboard the Apollo 15 "Falcon" lunar module by Colonel David R. Scott and Lieutenant Colonel James B. Irwin. Interestingly, at the moment the "Falcon" blasted off the surface of the moon with Scott and Irwin on board, a rendition of the "Air Force Song" was broadcast to the world by Major Alfred M. Worden, who had a tape recorder aboard the "Endeavor" command module which was in orbit around the moon. Scott, Irwin and Worden comprised the first and only "All-Air Force" Apollo crew and arranged to take the page of sheet music with them as a tribute to Crawford and the United States Air Force.

Bridge Section: Toast to the Host “A Toast to the Host” is part of the original Air Force Song. Many times this is sung as a separate piece. This is the verse which commemorates those who have fallen in the name of our service and our great country. This is the reason for the difference in melody and the reverent, reflective mood. After every football game, the Drum and Bugle Corps plays “A Toast to the Host” as the football team gathers together on the field, joins hands and stands at attention.

millions of spectators. That doesn’t include jumping into Falcon Stadium before the start of every football game, weather permitting.

The U.S. Air Force Academy parachute team, the Wings of Blue, has been one of the outstanding parachute units in the country for more than two decades. Since 1967, cadets have dominated national intercollegiate parachuting championships, typically winning decisively over 40 other schools which field about 125 of the nation’s top college competitors. Additionally, they perform about 50 demonstrations each year for

The Wings of Blue, because of their diverse mission, are divided into a demonstration team and a competition team. Advising and supervising the team is a cadre of active duty and reserve Air Force commissioned and non-commissioned officers. The team jumps from a variety of aircraft. However, the team primarily uses its own DeHavilland UV-18B Twin Otters. Each cadet member must be a qualified jump-master and instructor in the Air Force Academy parachuting program. They must also maintain high academic and military standards to remain with the team. Members of the team average 600 jumps by the time they graduate. The primary mission of the parachute team is not competing or performing, it’s to train other cadets in free-fall parachuting. Each year, over 1,000 cadets complete five free-fall jumps in the basic free fall parachuting course and earn the coveted parachutist badge and rating. The Academy is the only school in the Air Force authorized to grant these awards and is the only school in the U.S. authorized to allow students to perform unassisted free-fall delays on their first jump, without any prior static line training.

The basic free-fall program is the premier character development program at the Academy and is available to all cadets. It is designed to develop courage, confidence and discipline in each student and provide leadership experiences for the cadet instructors who teach the course. It is a rigorous training schedule with heavy emphasis on safety. Before cadets make their first jump, they are drilled repeatedly in ground school on proper parachuting procedures. The repetition is intended to have the jumper respond automatically and correctly should something unexpected occur during the jump. Cadets who successfully complete the basic free fall course are then eligible to take the advanced training necessary to tryout for the Wings of Blue. Those who want advanced training must compete for admission. Selection is based upon an individual’s maturity, abilities, academic and military standing. From its uncertain beginnings, when it was reserved for stuntmen, rugged paratroopers and desperate pilots, parachuting has evolved into an exacting science and demanding sport -- a sport dominated at the college level by the Air Force Academy.

Flight of Sound The complete experience in sight and sound is presented at every home Falcon football game by the “Flight of Sound,” the U.S. Air Force Academy Cadet Drum and Bugle Corps. Since 1948, the Air Force Drum and Bugle Corps has entertained audiences across the nation and abroad with their thrilling performances. The Corps, originally assigned to Bolling Air Force Base, Washington, D.C., was transferred to the Air Force Academy in 1963 and turned over to the Cadet Wing in 1972. Since then, the corps has won 16 of the 24 Interservice Academy Drum and Bugle Corps competitions and are the four-time defending champions. The competition is held annually during the Air Force vs. Navy football weekend. Recognized as one of America’s premier musical and marching units, the Corps exemplifies the precision and musical blend of a well-directed band or orchestra and the showmanship of a Broadway production. Performing on the average of 150 times a year, they have become known as the Academy’s ambassadors of precision drill and musical pageantry. The Corps’ primary mission is to support the Cadet Wing activities, including military formations and Academy athletic contests both home and away. An extension of the mission continues in the community with concerts, field exhibitions, band festivals and various military ceremonies.

Head Coach

Troy Calhoun Head Coach

Fourth Season

25-14 record at Air Force

The purpose of the United States Air Force Academy is to develop young people of strong character who graduate and serve as outstanding leaders on active duty and beyond. It’s a purpose Troy Calhoun thoroughly respects and realizes is necessary for our country. While embracing the mission of the Academy, Calhoun has also found a way to accomplish what was once considered unthinkable: building a service academy program that plays very competitive football in one of college football’s best conferences. Air Force student-athletes must complete the nation’s most demanding academic curriculum while further embedding the heart and character that are crucial for serving America. Cadets at the Academy must work through courses that require finishing over 140 semester hours. Strong character traits, to include respect, teamwork, courage, spirit, discipline, honesty and toughness, are the bedrock of the leadership qualities Air Force football players utilize while serving as officers in the United States Air Force. Calhoun and his staff have parlayed the varied demands of their players into a cohesive team that has fared quite well both on and off the field in his first three seasons as head coach. Calhoun’s players are extraordinarily successful finishing their academic and leadership responsibilities. The Air Force football team's NCAA APR is annually amongst the finest of the 120 schools that play at the FBS level of college football. From May 2008 through the present, Air Force is the only service academy and the only Mountain West Conference program to finish above the nation’s 90th percentile each of the last three years. The Air Force football Academic Progress Rates (APRs) for the three most recent years have been 976 in May 2008, a 983 in May 2009 and an astounding 988 in May 2010. In addition to being the nation’s best in regards to the NCAA’s APR, over 98% of Air Force football team members who participated in a game in either their junior or senior seasons under Calhoun’s guidance graduated from the United States Air Force Academy. Calhoun is the only head football coach in the history of the Air Force Academy to lead teams to three consecutive seasons that included at least eight wins and a bowl game. They have done this while playing very strong opponents. Calhoun’s 2009 Air Force squad was the only team in the last 50 years of service academy football to play at least four ranked teams and win a bowl game in the same season. In the 100plus year history of service academy football, Calhoun is the first coach to lead teams to at least eight wins and a bowl game in each of his first three seasons. Calhoun has lifted the Falcon football program to unprecedented heights within the Mountain West Conference. Calhoun’s three teams are a combined 16-8 in the Mountain West Conference and 25-14 overall. Air Force had posted three straight losing seasons from 2004-2006 before his arrival. His 16 wins in the MWC are the most in school history in a three-year span. Calhoun’s conference winning percentage makes him the only Air Force coach in any MWC sport at the Academy to have coached at least three years and have an overall winning record in conference play. The next two Mountain West Conference best percentages for Academy coaches who’ve worked at least 3 years in any sport are Fisher DeBerry (football 1999 through 2006 of 26-32) at 45% and Joe Scott (Basketball 2000 through 2004 of 21-35) at 38%. With Calhoun at the helm, the Falcons have played their best football in the second half of the season. Air Force is 13-5 under Calhoun during the last six games of the regular season, going 5-1 in 2007 and 4-2 each of the last two years. Prior to his arrival, Air Force was 12-24 during the final six regular season games from 2001-2006. The 2009 Air Force team finished 8-5 overall and concluded with a convincing 47-20 win over 25th-ranked Houston in the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl. Air Force set 13 Academy bowl team records in the dominant victory. The team also set six school records during the 2009 season. Calhoun was named Coach of the Year by the Colorado Chapter of the National Football Foundation for his efforts. Calhoun’s 2007 and 2008 Air Force teams finished 9-4 and 8-5 respectively and both earned bowl bids. The 2007 Air Force team placed second in the Mountain West Conference with a 6-2 mark in Calhoun’s first year and earned the program’s first bowl berth in five years. The 2007 Falcons were the only team in Air Force history to win road games at Notre Dame, Utah and Colorado State in the same season. The five-game turnaround from 2006, in which Air Force was 4-8, was the largest in the nation by a first-year head coach. The five-game turnaround was the best in school history since the 1958 team had a school-record turnaround of six games. Air Force’s nine wins tied Calhoun for the most wins ever at the Academy by a first-year head coach, matching the mark set by Coach Ben Martin in 1958. The six MWC wins set a new Academy standard and are two wins better than the previous mark for conference wins by a first-year head coach at the Academy. Air Force also posted just the third undefeated home record in school history. Calhoun was named the Mountain West Conference’s Coach of the Year for his efforts. In addition, he was named Coach of the Year in Region 5 by the American Football Coaches Association and was one of eight finalists for the Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year Award. He was also one of seven finalists for the AFCA National Coach of the Year award. Calhoun brought to Air Force a wealth of experience at the collegiate and professional levels that was flooded with success at every stop prior to the Academy. Calhoun came to the Academy after serving as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the Houston Texans in 2006. The Texans were one of only two NFL teams to triple their number of wins from the previous year. The 2006 Texans were the last team to defeat the Indianapolis Colts on their way to the Super Bowl championship. On offense, the Texans had the NFL's leading receiver (Pro Bowler Andre Johnson with 103 catches), the NFL's best quarterback completion percentage (68.4 percent) and their quarterback tied a NFL record against Buffalo with 22 straight completions. Calhoun became a well-rounded NFL coach, working as a defensive assistant, special teams assistant and offensive assistant with the Denver Broncos from 2003-05. He began his NFL coaching career by serving on the defensive side of the ball in 2003. He helped coach the NFL's fourth best defense. The Broncos' defense ranked seventh against the run and sixth against the pass. Denver's defense yielded a mere 17.6 points per game as they made the playoffs for the first time since 2000.

The offense ranked fifth in the NFL, averaging 395.8 yards per game. Calhoun worked closely with Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan in the 2005 season, serving as the assistant to the head coach. The Broncos won the AFC West title for the 10th time in their history and played for the AFC Championship game for the first time in seven seasons. Their 14-4 record was the best since Denver finished the 1998 season as winners of Super Bowl XXXIII. The offense finished fifth in the NFL averaging 360.4 yards per game. The defense was stout against the run, finishing second in the NFL with 85.2 yards per game. Denver finished with an undefeated record at home during the regular season for the fifth time in team history. During Calhoun's three years in Denver, the Broncos made the playoffs every season, averaging over 11 wins a year. Prior to the NFL, Calhoun was an offensive coordinator for six seasons on the collegiate level. He began his coaching career at Air Force, where he worked as a graduate assistant from 1989-90. He started at quarterback for the Academy in 1986 and was one of only two freshmen to letter for the 1985 team that finished fifth in the final polls with a 12-1 record that included wins over Notre Dame and Texas. Calhoun served his country from 1989-95 as an active duty officer in the Air Force. He was an assistant coach for the Falcons in 1993-94. He moved to Ohio University in the spring of 1995 where he served as the quarterbacks coach for two seasons. Calhoun was promoted to offensive coordinator in 1997. During his first season at the helm, the offense totaled 612 yards against Eastern Michigan, second-most in school history. The Bobcats defeated Maryland in 1997, marking the school's first win against a team from the ACC in school history. The '97 Bobcats' 8-3 record was the school’s best in 29 years. During his last season at Ohio in 2000, the Bobcats beat two bowl teams, Minnesota and Marshall, for the first time in school history. Calhoun's 2000 offense set a school record with 418.1 yards per game. Calhoun moved to Wake Forest in 2001. The Demon Deacons were one of only seven teams in the country to score more than 30 points in each of the final four games. During his second season, Wake led the ACC in total offense with 408.1 yards per game. His offense had a league-best 990 plays and was efficient with the ball, committing only 16 turnovers, fewest in the ACC. The 2001 season culminated with a 3817 bowl victory over Oregon to give Wake Forest its first back-to-back winning seasons since the ACC expanded from eight teams. Groomed on the basics of integrity and passion, Calhoun was raised in a home where both kids graduated from the Air Force Academy and were varsity letter winners on nationally-ranked teams. Calhoun’s younger sister, Callie, is a 1991 Academy graduate. She was a 10-time track and cross country All-American who won six NCAA national titles. Troy Calhoun graduated from the Academy in 1989 as a member of the superintendent's list by earning over a 3.0 grade point average along with a military performance average of better than 3.0. He and his wife, Amanda, live in Colorado Springs and have two children, Tyler (eight) and Amelia (six). Troy and Amanda Calhoun have a strong respect and affinity for the members of our armed services and are very involved with numerous charitable and community endeavors.

Ron Burton Defensive Line/NFL Liaison

8th Season

Ron Burton is in his eighth season as defensive line coach at the Academy. During his first seven seasons, Burton has developed some of the school’s best defensive lineman. Last season, Burton led senior Ben Garland to all-conference honors and to a free agent signing with the Denver Broncos in the NFL. He also helped develop Jake Paulson to all-conference honors in 2008 and has worked with Monty Coleman and Gilberto Perez, who were honorable mention all-conference performers. He also coached two-year starter Ryan Carter, an Academic All-American in 2003 and 2004. Prior to coming to the Academy, Burton was the defensive line coach at Grand Valley State and helped the school to the NCAA Division II national championship in 2002, the first in school history. GVSU was a perfect 14-0 in Burton's first season at the school. Prior to his stint at GVSU, Burton was the linebackers coach at Indiana for five seasons (1997-01) where he was responsible for the development of two Butkus Award nominees, Justin Smith and Jabar Robinson. Burton was a four-year letterman at the University of North Carolina (1982-86), where he made three bowl appearances and was named team captain and best defensive lineman as a senior. His eight sacks during the 1986 season presently tie him for seventh on UNC's single-season sack list. He graduated in 1987 with a degree in industrial relations. Moving on to the next level, Burton spent four seasons playing linebacker in the NFL with the Dallas Cowboys (1987-89), Phoenix Cardinals (1989) and the Los Angeles Raiders (1990). He started 15 games in 1988 at outside linebacker for the Cowboys. While playing for Los Angeles, Burton was on the team that played in the 1990 AFC Championship Game. After spending two seasons as a graduate assistant for North Carolina, Burton took his first full-time assistant coaching position at Morehead State in 1994. He worked with the defensive backs for one season and then went to Eastern Michigan, where he served two seasons as the linebackers coach. Burton was an all-state, all-district and all-region selection as an outside linebacker at Highland Springs High School (Va.). He was also named the prep player of the year in 1982. A native of Highland Springs, Va., Burton and his wife, Andrea, have four children, Ronald, Ryan, Roya and Reid.

Clay Hendrix Assoc. Head Coach/Offensive Coord./Offensive Line Clay Hendrix is in his fourth season at the Academy as the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach and first as associate head coach. Hendrix made his presence in the program known early, as he has turned the offensive line into one of the team’s strengths each season and into one of the best units in the conference each year. Air Force won its 26th conference rushing title in 2009, while finishing third nationally in rushing with an average of 283.5 yards per game. The Falcons averaged 299.5 yards rushing per game in 2007, which is its best since winning its only national rushing title in 2002 with a 307.8 pergame average. The total is the 12th best ever in school history. Hendrix coached two all-conference honorees in 2009 in seniors Peter Lusk and Nick Charles. In addition, Hendrix orchestrated one of the biggest surprises of 2007 with the development of senior Blaine Guenther, who moved to center for his final season and anchored the line while earning first-team all-conference honors. Air Force’s offense has ranked as one of the top units in the conference the last three seasons. Air Force finished fourth in the conference in scoring (29.7) and total offense (371.8) last year. The Falcons finished second in the conference in scoring and total offense with averages of 29.9 points and 419.4 yards per game in 2007. The team was fourth in scoring at 26.7 points per game and averaged 348.8 yards per game with a first-year starter and a freshman at starting quarterback in 2008. Air Force was also third in the conference and 31st nationally in quarterback efficiency last season. Hendrix came to Air Force after completing 19 seasons at NCAA I-AA Furman as the offensive line coach, including the last five as assistant head coach. Since joining the staff in 1988, he played a central role in Furman's success as his offensive lines helped the Paladins post a 147-73-1 record, win six Southern Conference titles and claim the 1988 NCAA I-AA national crown. The success Furman enjoyed over his last seven years, including a combined 65-24 record and three league titles, was due in large measure to the work of Hendrix-directed fronts. A product of Commerce, Ga., he starred as an offensive guard as a prep, helping Commerce High School to a 13-1-1 record and the 1981 AA state championship. A 1986 Furman graduate, he was a three-year starter from 1982-85 when Furman rolled up a 39-10-1 record. He also played on three league title teams and four nationallyranked squads, including the 1985 national runner-up team. Furman also recorded impressive wins over South Carolina (1982), Georgia Tech (1983), and N.C. State (1984 & '85) during his tenure. He was named all-state in 1985. Following graduation, he joined Dick Sheridan's coaching staff at North Carolina State as a graduate assistant before returning to Furman in 1988. He and his wife, the former LeeAnn Hedgpeth of Taylors, S.C., have two sons, Cal (13), and Mac (9).

Matt McGettigan Strength/Conditioning

4th Season

Matt McGettigan is in his fourth season as the strength and conditioning coach for the Falcon football team. Widely considered one of the best in the country, McGettigan helped transform the Falcon program. Prior to his coming to the Academy, the Falcons had posted a 12-24 record over the second half of the season the past six seasons. In 2007, the Falcons ended the year 5-1 over the last six weeks and won six of its final seven games. In addition to being in better physical shape, the Falcons saw fewer significant injuries. Air Force has gone 4-2 over the second half of the season over the last two years to improve to 13-5 over the last three seasons in the second half of the year. McGettigan played a key factor in the play of All-American Chad Hall, a 5-foot-8, 185-pound do-everything runner who averaged over 32 touches per game over the last seven weeks of the 2007 season. The work of McGettigan received the ultimate affirmation of excellence when he earned recognition as the 2001 National Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coach of the Year by the Professional Football Strength and Conditioning Coaches Society. The award underscored the respect McGettigan has from his peers. McGettigan joined the Iowa State staff in 1996 with head coach Dan McCarney. He spent 11 years with the Cyclones before coming to Air Force in the summer of 2007. Prior to his stint in Ames, he was an assistant strength and conditioning coach at Notre Dame from 1991-95. Before his work with the Fighting Irish, McGettigan served as the strength and conditioning coordinator for Wisconsin-Platteville from 1987-90. McGettigan completed his undergraduate work in physical education at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, in 1987, where he was a member of the football team. He is a member of the National Strength and Conditioning Association. In January 1989, McGettigan received his certification as strength and conditioning specialist. He earned his master's degree in 1989 from Wisconsin-Platteville. A native of Darlington, Wis., McGettigan is married to the former Darla Hook of Charles City, Iowa. They have two children, Mariah and Colin.

Ben Miller Tight Ends/Specialists

4th Season

Ben Miller is in his fourth season as tight ends coach at the Academy and third year coaching the specialists (punters, kickers and snappers). Miller’s first three years saw the development of Travis Dekker as one of the best tight ends in school history and one of the best in the Mountain West Conference. Dekker caught 25 passes for 382 yards and two scores, while averaging 15.3 yards per catch in 2007. His 25 catches are the most by an Air Force tight end since Trent Van Hulzen in 1989. He would later sign a contract with the Green Bay Packers. In addition, he developed solid depth at the position, as Keith Madsen also developed as a solid backup. Madsen caught 12 passes for 49 yards and two touchdowns in 2007. The pair returned in 2008 and despite Dekker missing four games due to injury, he still ended up second on the team with 13 catches for 129 yards and two touchdowns. Madsen had four catches for 29 yards. Miller’s work with the kickers was also impressive. Senior Ryan Harrison kicked a school-record 24 field goals in 2008 while becoming a semifinalist for the Lou Groza National Placekicker of the Year award. Harrison broke the school record of 19 field goals he shared and his 43 field goals in consecutive seasons are the most in school history. Last season, kicker Erik Soderberg burst on the scene in his first season. He kicked 22 field goals which is the second most in school history. He also scored 104 points. Additionally, punter Brandon Geyer was among the national leaders with a 43.0 punting average. A 2002 Academy graduate, Miller spent the 2006 season as the offensive graduate assistant at the University of Illinois before returning to the Academy. Miller was an all-conference offensive lineman for the Falcons, starting at left tackle as a junior and senior. He played under Notre Dame offensive line coach Ed Warinner while at Air Force. After completing his collegiate career, Miller signed a contract with the Cleveland Browns, where he was used as a fullback/tight end/long snapper. In the fall of 2005, he joined the practice squad for the Philadelphia Eagles. Miller served as a graduate assistant coach at the Academy from 2002-03. He also spent one year in the ManTech Division at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, before transitioning to the Air Force Reserve in May of 2004. During the NFL offseason, he worked as a public affairs officer doing recruiting and public relations activities for the Air Force. Miller and his wife, the former Meghan Carney, were married in January 2008. The couple has two daughters, Quinn and Keeley.

Blane Morgan Offensive Coordinator/Quarterbacks

9th Season

Blane Morgan is in his ninth season overall and fourth as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at the Academy. Prior to his current position, Morgan was wide receivers coach for two years and a junior varsity assistant before that. Morgan helped develop 2008 graduate Shaun Carney into one of the top quarterbacks in school history. Carney finished his brilliant four-year run as the Air Force career leader in passing touchdowns, yards and total offense. Morgan has also brought along junior quarterback Tim Jefferson, who exploded on the scene in 2008 to earn MWC freshman of the year honors, the first for a player in school history. Jefferson moved into the starting position and won his first five starts, finished 5-3 overall as a starter and became the first freshman starting quarterback ever in a bowl game in school history. In addition, Air Force’s offense has ranked as one of the top units in the conference the last three seasons. Air Force finished fourth in the conference in scoring (29.7) and total offense (371.8) last year. The Falcons finished second in the conference in scoring and total offense with averages of 29.9 points and 419.4 yards per game in 2007. The team was fourth in scoring at 26.7 points per game and averaged 348.8 yards per game with a first-year starter and a freshman at starting quarterback in 2008. Air Force was also third in the conference and 31st nationally in quarterback efficiency last season. Morgan is a 1999 graduate of the Academy, where he became the winningest starting quarterback in school history. Morgan led the Falcons to a 12-1 season in 1998 as a senior while earning Western Athletic Conference offensive player of the year honors. Morgan also led the Falcons to a 10-3 mark as a junior and finished his career with a 20-3 overall record as a starter. He is only the second quarterback in school history to win his first seven starts. Morgan's accomplishments as a player at the Academy put him in rare company. He was undefeated as a starter against Air Force's sister academies, going 3-0. He remains the only starting QB in school history to lead the Falcons to an outright conference title. He also posted a 1-1 mark in bowl games, helping the Falcons to the 1998 Oahu Bowl win over Washington. Morgan came to the Academy from Laughlin AFB, Texas, where he was stationed from July 2000 to February 2003. Prior to that, Morgan was a graduate assistant with the football team during the 1999 season. Originally from Dallas, Texas, Morgan was a three-year football letterwinner at Trinity Christian Academy in Addison, Texas, where he played for his father, Barry. He was a two-time all-state selection at safety and was team captain his senior year. Football has been a family affair for the Morgans, as Blane's older brother, Beau, also played football at Trinity Christian Academy and Air Force. Blane followed Beau as the starting quarterback at both schools. Morgan and his wife, Mandy, live in Colorado Springs.

Jemal Singleton Running Game Coordinator/Running Backs Jemal Singleton enters his eighth season overall and fifth as running backs coach at the Academy. This season will mark his fourth as running game coordinator. In his tenure as running backs coach, Singleton has led the Falcons to the conference rushing title and a top 10 national ranking each year. He mentored 2008 graduate Chad Hall into one of the most explosive running backs in the nation. Hall was a third-team All-American in 2007 and was the conference offensive player of the year after rushing for a conference-best 1,478 yards, which is the second-best single-season effort in school history. The last two seasons, his athletes have been the team’s outstanding performer in the Armed Forces Bowl. Fullback Jared Tew set bowl and school records in rushing yards with 149 yards in 2009 and a career-best 173 last year. He earned Air Force most valuable player honors in 2009. Last year the honor went to tailback Asher Clark, who rushed for 129 yards and two touchdowns. Last season, Singleton developed a young group of running backs that provided a spark to the running game that saw the Falcons win their 26th conference rushing title and rank third nationally with a 283.5 per-game average. Another of Singleton's accomplishments came in 2006 when he dramatically decreased the team’s number of fumbles. In 2005, the Falcons had 28 fumbles. However, in Singleton's first season in 2006, the Falcons had just 19 fumbles, an average of nearly one less fumble per game. That trend has continued, as the team has been among the conference and national leaders in turnover margin. Last year, the Falcons led the nation in turnover margin with a +22 mark. Singleton is a 1999 graduate of the Academy where he earned his bachelor's degree in social sciences. While at the Academy, Singleton helped lead the school to new heights. The team won 10 or more games in back-to-back seasons for the first time in school history during his junior and senior years. The 1997 team was 10-3 while the 1998 squad was 12-1 and won the school's first outright conference title. Singleton, a co-captain of the '98 squad, was a three-year letterwinner in football at halfback and was an honorable mention all-Western Athletic Conference selection his senior year. Singleton began his Air Force and coaching career at the USAFA Prep School in 2000. He served as an instructor and assistant head coach/offensive coordinator. He was then stationed at Little Rock AFB in Jacksonville, Ark., from January 2001 to January 2003 as a public affairs officer. He returned to the Academy in the spring of 2003 and served as the executive officer for the athletic director before taking over as the junior varsity defensive coordinator and varsity assistant coach. The son of a retired Air Force sergeant, Singleton was born in Incirlik, Turkey. He graduated from Taft High School in San Antonio, Texas, where he was a three-year letterman and all-state honoree. He was also the district most valuable player as a senior and was coached by the late Mike Haynes. Singleton and his wife, Jennifer, have one daughter, Morgan.

4th Season

Mike Thiessen is in his fourth season as the wide receivers coach and second as offensive coordinator at Air Force. Thiessen was a key contributor in the development of AllAmerican Chad Hall, the conference offensive player of the year in 2007. Hall caught 50 passes, the sixth most in school history, for 524 yards, while rushing for 1,478 yards which ranks second all-time in school history. In addition, receiver Mark Root caught 28 passes for 385 yards in 2007. Thiessen’s 2008 receiving corps entered the season without a seasoned veteran on the squad. Thiessen helped develop a solid group led by Josh Cousins, who was the team’s leading receiver with 16 catches for 176 yards as a junior in his first season full time with the varsity. Kyle Halderman also developed as a bigplay weapon for the offense, collecting 12 catches for 266 yards and a team-best 22.2 average per catch. He also rushed for 350 yards on 36 carries and averaged a team-best 9.7 yards per carry. Last season, Kevin Fogler emerged as a key player in the offense.

A two-sport star during his collegiate career, Thiessen was an All-American baseball player as a centerfielder in the spring of 2000 and was the Mountain West Conference offensive player of the year in the fall of 2000. A two-year starter at quarterback, Thiessen led the team in rushing and was among the conference leaders in rushing yards and touchdowns in 2000. He capped off his career by earning offensive most valuable player honors while leading Air Force to a 37-34 win over Fresno State in the Silicon Valley Classic. Thiessen finished the game with 99 yards rushing and 204 yards passing. Thiessen was a team captain as a senior while rushing for 713 yards and 10 touchdowns and passing for 1,687 yards and 13 scores in 2000.

Matt Wallerstedt Associate Head Coach/Defensive Coord./Inside Linebackers Matt Wallerstedt enters his third season at the Air Force Academy and first as associate head coach and defensive coordinator. Wallerstedt was assistant head coach and codefensive coordinator last season and has coached the inside linebackers each year at the Academy. Wallerstedt was instrumental in developing one of the top defenses in Air Force history in 2009. The team led the conference and ranked fifth nationally in pass defense with a 154.3 mark. The unit was second in the MWC and 11th in the nation in total defense allowing just 288.3 yards per game. The team was second in the MWC and 10th nationally in scoring defense with a 15.7 norm which is the best mark in school history since 1998. The defense also scored five touchdowns in 2009. Wallerstedt has also developed an inside linebacker corps that has been one of the strengths of the Falcon defense, despite several injuries. Wallerstedt coached Ken Lamendola, who developed into one of the top inside linebackers in the conference before injuries cut his 2009 season short. Lamendola finished second in the conference with 9.3 tackles per game in 2008 and became just the sixth sophomore in school history to record over 100 tackles, with a team-high 118. Wallerstedt came to the Academy from Kansas State, where he was a former AllAmerican linebacker. He coached inside linebackers in 2006-07 and served as the Wildcats’ recruiting coordinator during the 2006 season and coordinated K-State’s special teams units in 2007. He helped the Wildcats to the 2006 Texas Bowl while there. Prior to his stint at Kansas State, Wallerstedt completed a successful two-year run at Akron, where he served as the Zips’ associate head coach, linebackers coach and special teams coordinator. He helped the program to the 2005 Mid-American Conference title and its first bowl in school history (Motor City Bowl). The defense was the topranked unit in the conference that year. A 1984 graduate of Manhattan High School, Wallerstedt lettered at Kansas State from 1984-1987 and led the Wildcats in tackles as a junior and senior. In fact, his 165 tackles in 1987 still rank fifth on K-State’s single-season tackle chart, while his 338 career stops rank ninth all time in school history. One of K-State’s 1987 co-captains and the Wildcats’ MVP that season, Wallerstedt earned all-Big Eight honors and was an honorable mention All-American by The Associated Press for 1987. Wallerstedt received his coaching start in 1988 as a student assistant with the Wildcats. He went on to serve the 1989 and 1990 seasons as a graduate assistant at Arizona State. After three years in private business, Wallerstedt received his first full-time coaching opportunity as the defensive line coach at Fort Hays (Kan.) State in 1994. He helped guide Fort Hays State to a share of the 1995 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference championship and national playoffs. The team finished the season ranked 18th nationally. Wallerstedt then coached defensive backs at Emporia State in 1996. In 1997, Wallerstedt began a six-year stint at Wyoming. In just his first year in Laramie, Wyo., the Cowboys ranked second in the nation in sacks (54), sixth in pass defense, 17th in scoring defense and 23rd in total defense. A very successful one-year stay as the defensive coordinator at North Alabama followed in 2003 where he helped the program to the Gulf South Conference championships and the league’s top-ranked defensive unit. The defense ranked sixth nationally and the team finished No. 5 in the country with a 13-1 record. Wallerstedt earned his bachelor’s degree in business management from K-State in 1988 and added a master’s degree in athletic administration from Fort Hays State in 1995. Wallerstedt’s dad, Major John R. Wallerstedt, is a retired fighter pilot and twenty year veteran of the United States Air Force. His brother, Brett, played linebacker for five seasons in the National Football League for the Cardinals, Broncos, Bengals and Rams. Wallerstedt is married to the former Josie Lewis of Lawrence, Kansas, and they have a 10 year old son, Cal. Air Force Football

Season Outlook The biggest questions for the Falcons entering 2010 are the guys up front – on both sides of the ball. Air Force lost all five starting offensive lineman and two of three starting defensive linemen from last year’s 8-5 team. Air Force posted the school’s first bowl victory since 2002 with a 47-20 victory over No. 25 Houston in the 2009 Armed Forces Bowl. Not only is it a case of numbers lost, but also talent. Gone from last year’s team are senior all-conference performers Nick Charles, Peter Lusk and Chris Campbell on the offense and Ben Garland on the defense. All four were multiple-year starters. However, with much of the offensive backfield and defensive secondary returning, the Falcons will make a run at its fourth consecutive bowl game. Junior A.J. Wallerstein is the most seasoned of the returning linemen, playing as a freshman and making a start last year. The rest of the line will be made up of inexperienced, but talented players. Sophomore Jason Kons, junior Michael Hester, senior Chase Darden and senior Tyler Schonsheck will all compete for starting positions, along with sophomores Jordan Eason (6-3, 275), Nick Jackson (6-4, 270) junior Jeffrey Benson (6-0, 265) and senior Alexander Arndt (64, 255), a converted defensive lineman. The Falcons’ skill positions are full of experienced, talented players. Air Force returns 100 percent of its rushing, passing, kickoff return, punt return and total offense yards from 2009, along with 90.4 percent of its receiving yards. The team also returns 100 percent of its scoring and 98.3 percent of its all-purpose yards from a year ago. The quarterback position is strong, as juniors Tim Jefferson and Connor Dietz return. The two shared the position last year due to injuries. Jefferson missed most of spring drills recovering from offseason knee surgery. Dietz recovered from a broken hand that caused him to miss the last five games. Jefferson threw for 848 yards and five touchdowns last season while rushing for 254 yards and four scores. His best game of the season came vs. Houston in the Armed Forces Bowl, hitting 10 of 14 passes for a season-high 161 yards. He also rushed for 37 yards and a score. Dietz finished the year with 197 yards passing and a touchdown and rushed for 369 yards and a score. His 369 rushing yards ranked fourth on the team. Senior fullback Jared Tew and junior tailback Asher Clark are back to bolster the running game. Tew led the Falcons with 970 yards rushing and nine touchdowns. He broke his own Armed Forces Bowl and school record for rushing yards in a bowl game with 173 yards and two touchdowns vs. Houston. Clark, who earned bowl MVP honors for Air Force, rushed for 129 yards and a pair of scores. He finished the season with 865 yards and seven touchdowns. Seniors Nathan Walker and Savier Stephens will also see time in the backfield. The receiving corps will once again be led by senior Kevin Fogler, who led the team with 25 catches, 567 yards receiving and five touchdowns in 2009. Senior Kyle Halderman is also back after missing most of last season due to injury. He still managed four catches for 62 yards and a score last year. Junior Jonathan Warzeka returns after finishing second on the team in each category last year with 18 catches for 246 yards and a score. Warzeka may have saved his best for last as he had a career-best 45 yards receiving, rushed six times for 35 yards and scored on a 100-yard kickoff return, the first at the Academy since 1985. The tight end position will be manned by senior Chaz Demerath and juniors Daniel Pickett and Josh Freeman. Demerath had five catches for 25 yards last season. Air Force Football

The defensive line will be bolstered by the lone returning starter, senior Rick Ricketts, who finished fourth on the team in tackles with 57. He also was third in tackles for loss with 6.5 for 39 yards and second in sacks with 4.0 for 28 yards and will hold down one of the defensive end slots. The other end spot will be a battle between senior Wylie Wikstrom and juniors Caleb Konemann and Zach Payne. The Falcons will have to replace all-conference nose guard Ben Garland and the team will look to do so by committee. Juniors Ryan Gardner, Ben Kopacka and Henry Kehs will compete for time in the middle. The linebacker corps returns Andre Morris, Jr., at outside linebacker. Morris was third on the team in tackles with 65 and had 6.5 tackles for loss and 3.0 sacks. He’ll be joined by sophomore Wale Lawal, Jr., who played 11 games as a rookie last year. Lawal’s first collegiate play will always be memorable, as he recorded a quarterback sack, forced fumble and 10-yard fumble return for a touchdown on his first play vs. Nicholls State. He ended the season with 31 tackles and 3.0 tackles for loss. Seniors Patrick Hennessey and Ken Lamendola and sophomore Alex Means suffered through injury-laden seasons in 2009 and missed all of spring practice. If they’re able to return, the Falcons will have a solid, experienced group. Lamendola had a 100-plus tackle sophomore season and Hennessey was solid in a starting role before injuries. Means started the opener last season as a freshman and had 28 tackles in six games. Juniors Brady Amack and Jordan Waiwaiole and sophomores Brian Corcoran, and James Chambers will also see plenty of action. The secondary will be the defense’s strength. Senior cornerback Reggie Rembert, along with junior corner Anthony Wright, Jr., and safety Jon Davis return to lead the group. Rembert was a first-team all-conference performer last season. He had 43 total tackles, three interceptions, forced two fumbles and had two fumble recoveries. He also became the school’s all-time leader in kickoff returns and kickoff return yards. Wright recorded the third-most interceptions in a single season in school history with seven, including a schoolrecord-tying three vs. Houston in the Armed Forces Bowl. Wright also scored two touchdowns on interceptions returns and another on a punt return while earning second-team all-conference honors. Davis added 56 tackles, three interceptions, a fumble recovery and a forced fumble. Davis also scored a touchdown on an interception return. Senior Ben Cochran, a converted quarterback, along with juniors P.J. Adeji-Paul, Phil Ofili and Josh Hall and sophomore Brian Lindsay will also see significant action. The place kicking duties should again fall to junior Erik Soderberg, who hit 22 of 30 field goals and scored 104 points last year. His 22 made field goals are the second-most in school history. He also handled the kickoff duties. Replacing punter Brandon Geyer from last year will be tough. Geyer averaged 43 yards per punt and was among the national leaders in net punting with a 39.5 norm. Senior Keil Bartholomew and sophomore Daniel Compton will battle it out. Junior Colton Reid will again handle all of the deep snapper duties. Air Force returns just 10 total starters from last season’s team. The Falcons will face four bowl-winning teams in the first five weeks of the season (BYU, at Oklahoma, at Wyoming and Navy) and four of the first six games will be at Falcon Stadium. The keys to the 2010 season will be how the two lines develop, how soon solid replacements take hold at linebacker and the team’s development at punter. These factors will need to come together for the Falcons to earn their fourth straight winning season and a bowl bid. Page 68

The Mountain West Conference From its inception in 1999, the Mountain West Conference has been committed to excellence in intercollegiate athletics, while promoting the academic missions of its member institutions. Progressive in its approach, the MWC continues to cultivate opportunities for student-athletes to compete at the highest level, while fostering academic achievement and sportsmanship. Now in its 12th year, the MWC has been assertive in its involvement with the NCAA governance structure and has taken a leadership role in the overall administration of intercollegiate athletics. The Mountain West Conference has marked several achievements over its first 11 years of existence, most notably becoming the first to establish a sports television network dedicated solely to an intercollegiate athletic conference (The Mtn.). The Mountain West also was the first to experiment with the coaches challenge in the college football instant replay system, and was the first non-automatic-qualifying BCS conference to participate in and win two BCS bowl games. Additionally, the Mountain West was the first conference to have a member institution with No. 1 overall picks in both the NFL and NBA drafts in the same year (Utah’s Alex Smith and Andrew Bogut, respectively in 2005). With San Diego State’s Stephen Strasburg claiming the No. 1 pick in the 2009 MLB Draft, the Mountain West is one of two conferences to have the No. 1 selection in each of the NFL, NBA and MLB drafts since the MWC was founded in 1999. The Mountain West also ranks second in No. 1 draft picks in the NFL, NBA and MLB over the last six years with three overall. The Mountain West Conference is noted for its geographic diversity. Some of the most beautiful terrain and landscapes in the nation can be found within Mountain West Conference boundaries, including the majestic Rocky Mountain range, which borders four MWC schools (Air Force, BYU, Colorado State and Utah). The high plains of Wyoming (elevation 7,220 feet – the highest Division I campus in the nation) contrast with the desert city of Las Vegas (the fastest growing metropolitan area in the West) and the Pacific Ocean locale of San Diego State. The southwestern flavor of New Mexico complements the western heritage and culture of Fort Worth, Texas, home of the MWC’s most recent member, TCU.

HISTORY The Mountain West Conference

Air Force Football

was conceived on May 26, 1998, when the presidents of eight institutions — Air Force, BYU, Colorado State, New Mexico, San Diego State, UNLV, Utah and Wyoming — decided to form a new NCAA Division I-A intercollegiate athletic conference. The split from the former 16-team conference re-established continuity and stability among the membership within the new league and signaled the continuation of its tradition-rich, long-standing athletic rivalries. Five of the MWC’s eight original members have been conference rivals since the 1960s (BYU, Utah, New Mexico, Wyoming, Colorado State), while San Diego State (1978) and Air Force (1980) were longtime members as well. UNLV and TCU entered the fold in 1996 and the Rebels continued as one of the original eight institutions that formed the MWC in 1999. TCU rejoined the group with its first year of competition in the Mountain West in 2005-06. On June 17, 2010, Commissioner Craig Thompson announced the addition of Boise State University to the Mountain West Conference, effective July 1, 2011. When the MWC officially began operations on July 1, 1999, the new league had in place a seven-year contract with ESPN, giving the broadcaster exclusive national television rights to MWC football and men’s basketball, and three-year agreements to send the league’s football champion to the Liberty Bowl and a second team to the Las Vegas Bowl.

Commissioner Craig Thompson also arranged a third bowl tie-in each of the first three years (1999 Motor City, 2000 Silicon Valley, 2001 New Orleans) before securing a four-year deal with the Emerald Bowl in San Francisco in 2002. Entering the 2011 season, the MWC has five contracted bowl affiliations – the MAACO Bowl Las Vegas, San Diego Country Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl, AdvoCare V100 Independence Bowl, Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl and New Mexico Bowl. An innovator in the postseason bowl structure, the MWC engineered many “firsts,” as league teams have participated in five inaugural bowl games (2000 Silicon Valley, 2001 New Orleans, 2002 San Francisco (Emerald), 2005 Poinsettia, 2006 New Mexico), as well as placing the first non-automatic-qualifying BCS team into a BCS bowl game with Utah’s appearance in the 2005 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl.

EXPOSURE The Mountain West Conference continues to receive unprecedented national television exposure through a combination of telecasts on The Mtn., CBS College Sports Network (formerly CSTV) and VERSUS. In 2009-10, 46 football, 94 men’s basketball and 34 women’s basketball Conferencecontrolled contests were broadcast nationally. On Aug. 26, 2004, CBS College Sports Network (formerly CSTV) and the Mountain West Conference announced a visionary partnership that revolutionized the college sports landscape. The landmark agreement was the first NCAA Division I football and men’s basketball conference-wide deal for CSTV and provided the network exclusive rights to all Conference events, including cable and satellite television coverage, national overthe-air and satellite radio, video-on-demand and online broadcast rights. In the summer of 2006, the centerpiece of this historic relationship was realized with the launch of The Mtn. – MountainWest Sports Network – the first sports network dedicated to serving a single collegiate athletic conference. Nearly 25,000 hours of MWC programming have aired on The Mtn. since the network’s launch on Sept. 1, 2006, and over 260 MWC events are shown live annually through a combination of telecasts on The Mtn., CBS College Sports Network and VERSUS.

Two Falcons in College Football Hall of Fame Two former Air Force football players have reached the pinnacle of their sport by getting inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. Brock Strom, a 1959 Academy graduate, was inducted into the Hall of Fame in South Bend, Ind., in 1985. Strom was a consensus AllAmerican in 1958 and the captain of Air Force’s only undefeated team in school history. He played an instrumental role in the 1958 team that finished 9-0-2 and played in the Cotton Bowl. Chad Hennings, a 1988 Academy graduate, was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2006. A unanimous first-team All-America selection in 1987, Hennings received the Outland Trophy as the nation’s top interior lineman. A two-time first-team all-conference selection, he is a member of the Western Athletic Conference all-time team and was named WAC defensive player of the decade for the 1980s. He is a twotime first-team Academic All-American and is also a member of the Academic All-America Hall of Fame. Although he was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the 1988 NFL Draft, Hennings fulfilled a four-year military commitment, serving during the first Gulf War. In 1992, he rejoined the Cowboys and embarked on a nine-year NFL career that brought him three Super Bowl titles. Former Air Force coach, L.T. “Buck” Shaw was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1972. Shaw coached the Falcons in 1956 and 1957. Shaw is most known for his seven stellar seasons at Santa Clara, but also coached at North Carolina State, Nevada and California, as well as two stops in the NFL with San Francisco and Philadelphia. Former Air Force coach Fisher DeBerry, who retired in 2006 after 23 seasons, will be eligible for induction in 2011.

Media Policies Media policies at the Air Force Academy are designed to provide simple access to game-playing participants and coaches of the Air Force football program. Our policies begin by ensuring the football program supports the educational and leadership development of the cadets at the Air Force Academy while providing easy coverage for media members. PRACTICES Video/Photography: Video and photography during practices will be done by media members who are first cleared through the Air Force Academy Media Relations staff. Video and photos will be taken August 2nd-August 25th during pre practice, stretch and practice periods 2-4 on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Starting August 30th, video and photographers cleared through the Air Force Academy Media Relations staff may shoot film during the same stretches of practice on Mondays and Tuesdays. Air Force Football Practices- The United States Air Force Academy prefers open football practices. Open practices provide the opportunity to observe the training of officer candidates who are a part of the Air Force Academy football team. Open practice guidelines include refraining from blogging, reporting, or twittering/text messaging on happenings during practices to include injuries or tactics. Failure to follow this guideline will result in closing future practices.

INTERVIEWS Player Availability- Player availability at the United States Air Force Academy is based upon respect for each cadet’s academic, military, and leadership obligations in addition to any needed physical rehabilitation/treatment. Because treatment time may be necessary, players must physically complete the previous team activity (ie. either practice or game) to be available. From August 2nd through August 28th Air Force upperclassmen (sophomores, juniors and seniors) will be accessible on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays after practices. Beginning August 29th, Air Force upperclassmen will be accessible on Mondays and Tuesdays from 1:15-1:45 PM and following games. Freshmen who played in the most recent game will be available on Tuesdays from 1:15 to 1:45 PM and following games. During USAFA mid-semester lessons M17 (September 22) through USAFA T21 (October 5th) and during December final exams Air Force will select three cadets who will only be available after practices on Mondays and Tuesdays. Air Force players are available for live radio shows following each game.

CREDENTIALS General: All credentials must be requested from athletic communications no later than noon (MST) the day before the game. No credentials will be issued the day of the game - NO EXCEPTIONS. Visiting team media are urged to request credentials through the team they cover and credentials will be distributed in advance of the game. All other credentials will be left at Will Call the day of the game. Non-rights holding radio stations will be limited to one credential. Internet Sites: Only accredited news agency internet sites will be granted game credentials or access to Air Force student-athletes and coaches. All inquiries must be made through athletic communications. Accreditation will be determined on a case-by-case basis, but all sites must have a recognized news affiliation. Photo Credentials: Freelance photography credentials will not be issued unless the photographer has a request on company letterhead from an accredited media outlet. No credentials will be issued to "assistants" - NO EXCEPTIONS. Single-Game Credentials: Single-game credentials will not be issued to any local media outlet that has not regularly covered Air Force or the competing team, unless space allows. Season Credentials: Media outlets must attend media day and regularly cover Air Force (attend weekly media teleconferences and/or practices) to be eligible for a season credential. If media outlets request credentials for staff members (columnists, anchors, etc.) that are not always able to attend and that staff member wishes to attend a particular game, they must call the week of the game to inform the athletic communications staff for seating purposes. A season credential doesn’t always reserve media members a seat in the press box. Parking: Media parking passes are issued for football and men’s basketball only and are on a space-available basis. Media with season credentials and visiting media will have priority in this case. Scouting Credentials: Professional scouting credentials are issued and seats provided as space allows. These requests must be made in advance on company letterhead.

Indoor Training Facility The USAFA Endowment was pleased to announce, on behalf of the U.S. Air Force Academy, the largest gift from a graduate to the Academy in the institution’s history. Bart Holaday, Class of ’65, and his wife, Lynn, committed $5 million toward the construction of a new indoor athletic training facility. The indoor training facility is slated for completion by early 2011. The 92,000 square-foot center will house a regulation-sized field that can accommodate football, lacrosse, and soccer, in addition to many other athletic activities. Cadet athletic development and performance will be enhanced through reduced weather delays, increased practice time, and improved replication of game conditions that the facility provides. “This athletic facility will allow our cadets to safely train all yearround,” says Dr. Mueh, the Director of Athletics. “This is a tremendous step forward for the athletics program and the Academy in terms of providing vital support for our cadets’ development and success.” The training facility will foster short- and long-term success in all cadets’ lives, as expressed by head football coach Troy Calhoun, Class of ’89. “Discipline, fortitude and toughness are key character traits that Air Force Academy graduates will draw upon while serving as leaders for our country on active duty and beyond,” Calhoun said. “The construction of the indoor facility will continue to provide optimal support and training grounds for the young men and women at the world’s finest leadership institution. This tremendous commitment and investment will be returned many times over by the quality of officers who, in the years to come, will lead our Air Force.”

As of the summer of 2010, the Academy was the only service academy and one of only three institutions in the Mountain West Conference without a dedicated indoor training facility. Once completed, the facility will be among the best in the nation and is destined to become a landmark of private philanthropy as the largest privately-funded capital project in the Academy’s history. “We are thrilled to receive such an unprecedented gift and appreciate Bart and Lynn Holaday’s generous and thoughtful support of our Academy,” said Gen. Michael Gould, Superintendent of the Academy. “This training facility will be among the most important donor projects in the Academy’s history. It will be a part of our cadets’ daily lives. Every time they see this landmark, they will know that it was built specifically for them by the dedicated graduates and friends of the Air Force Academy.” Bart Holaday shared his motivation behind offering the $5 million gift: “My experiences at the Academy provided the foundation that I built my life upon: integrity, trust, hard work, persistence, and loyalty. The Academy emphasized the profound importance of sacrifice and service, inspiring me to support others in reaching their full potential. Lynn and I hope that this new facility will, in turn, inspire others to give back to the institution that gave so much to the two of us.” Dr. Erv Rokke, President of the USAFA Endowment, shared his thoughts on the importance of the new facility: “This indoor training facility is a landmark that heralds a new era of private philanthropy at the Academy, initiated by two exemplary individuals who, through their outstanding personal and professional conduct, truly embody Air Force Academy values.”
