hroughout our lives at the Academy, it was

inevitable that each of us would run

into things that were not always clear

and concise. At these times, it was necessary to

make decisions based on a combination of log-

ic, heart and gut feeling. When we arrived at the Air Force Acad-

emy, we agreed to become a part of something big. We were immediately introduced to what

appeared to be the clear and proper, black and white way of Air Force life. We learned to march correctly. We were instructed in how to

properly wear our uniforms. We became physically fit and mentally prepared to take our places as future officers in the United States Air Force.

Many decisions were made for us when we arrived. We soon found out that contradictions to

those decisions existed. We would have to

make decisions that bordered on a catch twen-

ty-two

...

or as

Bart Simpson would say,

"You're damned if you do, and you're damned

if you don't." As cadets we had to make choices. We had choose between personal pride and honor. We had to choose between following regulato

tions and following the lessons

taught by our

parents. We had to make decisions based on the black and white philosophy of the Air Force and these decisions weren't easy to make. As an

officer and former cadet once said, "It's not

easy to do the hard, right thing."

Regulations were important for keeping unity and discipline in tact at the Academy and in the Air Force. But, even with the black and

white regulations, there weren't and white answers.

Brig. Gen. Joseph J. Redden ITARY

THE COMM’S DAY General Redden carries a huge responsibility A day in the life of the Commandant of Cadets starts early and ends late. During a normal day, Brigadier General Joseph J.

The AOC's are gathered for a seminar on how to be more effective in working with the cadets and with the members of the Commandant's staff. General Redden briefly addresses the AOC's, encouraging them to ask many questions of the speakers during the two-day conference. This is

FORMATIONS The Cadet Wing Marches On Looking back at the formations the Wing was involved in, it became apparent that the academy tourists had a sadistical attitude towards cadets. They loved watching us suffer while standing at attention during Noon Meal Formation. They loved it when we marched in the hail prior to the Wyoming football game. They loved it when the Basics marched to Jack's Valley to complete their Basic Training. They loved it whenever the cadets were suffering, or so it seemed. Along with noon meal and breakfast formations came the parades, every other week or so. Parades became the entertainment of a few officers who were ob-

viously bored on a Saturday morning and had nothing better to do. There were a couple of formations that made a

difference to the wing. The Basic Cadets enjoyed be-

ing accepted into the wing at the Acceptance Parade, and Parent's Weekend gave everyone a chance to show off to their relatives and friends. Those were im-

portant parades, but the favorite parade for the class of 1990 was their last parade, the Graduation Parade.

the way to class.

After class, cadets could stop and learn a little more about the combat

aspects of the Air Force. Usu-

ally there was a military aircraft on display near Spirit Hill. Helicopters, of course, it would be hard to land an F-16 on the terrazzo. Even if they couldn't distinguish themselves, Project Warrior helped cadets remember why they were here in the first place.

Cadets Learn To Survive

What do sitting on hard chairs, skinning rabbits, eating dandelions, putting on a rubber suit, jumping into cold water, running through the woods at night, getting beaten and living in captivity have in common? All of the preceeding activities were a part of SERE Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape training. Each three week long SERE training period started with what seemed to be an eternity of academic instruction. The cadets learned everything there was to know about surviving in a hostile environment, or so they thought. -

After academic instruction, the class of'92 was

given a chance to get off from their hard chairs and get some 'hands-on' experience with what they had learned in academic instruction. Their first experience with the cold came in water survival, where they got the opportunity to wear anti-exposure suits (commonly referred to as 'poopie suits') and jump into water that was just above freezing. Although the suits were made to keep the water out, the training gear was anything but water-resistant. Needless to say, water survival was a chilling experience. The class of'92 was then herded into buses and taken out 'into the boonies' where class members were

each given one MRE (meal ready to eat) and a

bunch of vegetables and two live rabbits (for each ten

cadets). With such extravagant amounts of food, it was hard to imagine why they might get hungry after four days, but they did. During those days, they learned

they could eat anything. Ants and dandelions became very popular; in fact, many commented how the ants tasted like lemon drops.

Following the four days of limited food, the cadets were on their own, moving through the woods with their trusty compass and the stars above. Most moved at night, trying to avoid being captured by the

aggressors (1st and 2nd class cadets who pretended be communists).

Ideally, T-41 was meant to be fun and a rewarding flying experience. Unfortunately, the stand up quizzes on emergency procedures were a frightening experience.

SOARING Controlling the skies Soaring was one of the most enjoyable programs offered to both pilot qualified and non-pilot qualified cadets. Cadets had the opportunity of learning to soar and at the same time had the chance to feel the exhilaration of controlling the vast blue skies.

The program lasted for two weeks and was filled with intense instruction of flight

principles, safe flying techniques, and emergency procedures. Each cadet had their own opinion of the hardest aspect to the flight, whether it was the aero-tow, the takeoff or the landing. When all was said and done, however, there was nothing like the feeling of going up and looking down on the world during a solo flight. Unfortunately the program is now only offered to pilot qualified cadets.

RECOGNITION The Fourthclass Haze Ends Spring break had passed and the freshmen recognition as challenging and as difficult year was almost over. The final test was rec- as possible. The fourthclassmen were ordered through the obstacle course, assault ognition. Recognition training began Thursday course, sweepstakes and individual squadafter school when the motivated four deron training. The class of '93 was the first grees met the flow control cadre on the way back to their squadrons. The fourthclassmen

were

heading into their toughest

weekend yet. Each freshman had an individual thirdclass "falcon buddy", more commonly known

"hellmaster", responsible for

class to return to the assault course at Jack's

Valley during recognition training. After two days of hard work, recognition was finally in sight. The run to Cathedral Rock culminated the weekend.

Recognition ceremonies were held in each squadron. With tears of joy and

happicompletion of training. This wasn't ness, the freshmen received their prop and just another training weekend, it was the wings which symbolized everything they last training weekend for the class of 1993, had worked toward and achieved during and the upperclassmen knew it. They made the toughest year of their cadet career. their

SQUADRONS Each of the forty cadet squadrons make

up a family unit with all the problems, excitement and frustrations families live with. The squadron family is a large one, made up of members of all four

classes totaling 120 members. The squadron may work well to-

gether as a family or as in some cases be a family feuding with each other. A lot is dependent upon who is the head of the family or in squadron terms the Commander. Squadron Typically, the Commander is chosen by the Squadron Air Officer Commanding and many believe that this position isn't chosen by -

what the cadet knows or how he leads, but how he promotes the AOC. In many cases, the Squadron Commander may not

speak for the cadets he leads and because

of this, he may soon find himself

leading a team of one. Most squadrons have a great relationship with each other. They socialize together, study together, eat together and shower together. For the most part, they are a family. They work and play together as a team, and although there are alsome differences of opinion they ways share their experiences and their lives. However, the family unit does have it's rules. Some of the rules are harder to live with than others, especially the Honor Code. Most members of a family

wouldn't "turn in" their brothers or sisters for lying or cheating, but the Honor

Code insists that this is done if a classmate "breaks" the code. Because of the

Honor Code and other rules and regula-

tions within the squadron, life in the

squadron is not always black and white.

MACH ONE M / irst takes

care

of its

own.

This squadron motto could have

not

been

true

for

members of Mighty Mach One as it was for the '89-90 school year. In

period of policy changes

Mach One was also faced with the challenge of adapting to the

implementation of a new AOC midway through the year. The work and effort put forth by the members of First squadron was matched only by Captain Gary Coopers effort to pick up where Major Scott Hutt had left off. Under the squadron leadership of C1C Rich Cams and Pete Bailey, Mach One met and exceeded the challenges of the year to uphold the professional reputation of First squadron. The year culminated with the news that for the first history of the Academy, the 1990 Honor

time in the

Squadron was, appropriately, Mighty Mach One. Even Terry Brown has never bellowed out those three words as well as the announcer did the night of the Honor Squadron Banquet at the Broadmoor, nor could anyone ever forget the pride we felt when they announced Dan Bredeson as the "recipient of the coveted Cadet Soaring Badge." 1989-90 was truly the year Mach One earned its deserving title of "First Squadron". Yeeeppp! Mighty Mach One!

was

colorful and

varied in its scope, ranging from a

firstie

picking fights

with associate AOCs to four de-

grees who fill out their own grade

cards, not realizing that it borders on honor.

Under the influence of

the military and athletic leader-

ship exemplified by our new AOC (Capt. Jeff Walter), and with the help of some Cuervo Capt. Jeff Walter Gold on the side, our squadron broke a decade slump by sweeping intramurals not once, but three times. The highlight (highlighter) of our first semester was provided by our cadet commander, John Hall, as he led the seniors to our first "no PCE failure" goal. Between

Transition 90 and

engagement, cadets who

could even visually identify the squadron commander 2nd semester were immediately awarded a $50 cash prize.

Nevertheless, Kevin Heer's "behind the scenes" leader-

ship provided the seniors with our best semester yet. Providing a fine example of the wing's new UOC policy, our firsties immediately scrawled little Deuce symbols on all of their civilian clothes. Squadron morale reached an alltime high! Two, three and four degrees? Yeah, we had some.

CERBERUS ff

this been

blast

J. A. what? We have gone from having a small town sheriff for an AOC (Catfish Jones) to a Grad that never left (General Jack, but just for a day) to a B. S. instructor (Major Hartman). Major Hartis actually not as bad as ev-

man

eryone thinks he is, but it's kind of like living in the counselling center ("How do you FEEL about

this this

What do you think about

.")

Our sponsor squadron/wing has been great, even though they made us stay in a correctional facility the first time we went down there. Other squadron activities in-

eluded Beer Ball, Palmer House parties, hall brawls, As-

sassin, the Beer Belly contest, and, of course, fire alarms and power failures.

Overall, we did pretty well, even pulling in first group

squadron of the month. This is all due to the high morale this year: our squadron is so close-knit that I pity other squadrons that have cliques. We are like a big, happy family. Remember all those times we went together and partied? We even all chose the sarpe UPT base and start date,

just so we can be together! No more raincoats, we want bathrobes.

ing Big Burt. Officialy, the squadron was never big on doing things together, but many of us

Capt. Robert Gilliam

have become best of friends. And if one of us was upset, all we had to do is throw a plate of food at Sixth Squadron during lunch to

brighten everybody's day, exeluding those in the range of the aforementioned projectile. Anytime you needed a laugh, you just had to look in the hallway during AC Call and one could be found. On the military side, this year was one of tumultuous change. We had a brown shoes grad as Comm, a mean and mad missile man as our Group AOC and to top it off a billy club totin' S. P. running the squad. Actually, Captain Gilliam did a great job for us, despite our initial fears. We came in first place in squadron of the month grading as often as the second overall pick for UPT takes Vance the first start date.

EAGLE EIGHT eighth cadet squadron, Eagles, was formed in 1959. The squadron patch depicts and F-15 Eagle and had four

stars, each with a different class color. The motto for the Eagles is

"Eagle Eight is Flying High." When the 8th Squadron was Jpoking for a new squadron patch, they settled on the F-15 Eagle as the new squadron emCavt. Robert Tremaine

blem for two reasons: 1. the F-15 was the newest

interceptor in the

Air Force inventory, and 2. the name Eagle begins with

the letter "E" as does the squadron number. The ghost grey color along the plane's leading edge is the color used by the Air Force Agressor squadrons. The four stars and each

star's color represents the four classes at the Academy and each classes's class color. The F-15 Eagle, along with the

ghost grey color, symbolizes eight squadron's aggressiveness in intercepting and destroying its enemies.

REBELEVEN

he eleventh Cadet Squadron,

nicknamed "Rebelev-

en," was formed in 1962 from the sixth cadet squadron. The eleventh squadron patch is a circular blue field bordered in Air Force

golden yellow, with a white equilateral triangle, one point up, bordered in red, and

superim-

posed upon the circular blue field. In the center of the triangle, Mai. David E. Everhart

the bold red Arabic numeral surmounts a silver-gray winged pro-

peller. The emblem is symbolic of the squadron and its history. The triangle superimposed upon the circle is borrowed from the 6th Bomb Wing, which was the original unit sponsor. The triangle represents the Greek letter Delta, reminding all wearers that each new group of cadets assigned to the 11th squadron is assigned to Delta squadron during Basic Cadet Training. The three segments of the circle represent academics, athletics, and military training. The silver-gray winged propeller symbolizes the Cadet Wing, while the large numeral "11" identifies the 11th squadron. The emblem bears the squadron colors, red and white; the class colors, red, silver, blue, and gold; and the Cadet Wing colors, blue and silver.

HAWKS once said, "If you're walkin' on thin ice, you might as well dance." Well, the Hawks never claimed to be exceptional dancers, but we did do our share of skating. Someday when we look back at this page hoping for some sort of rekindling of memories, we probably won't be able to find it. The trials, tribulations, and few triumphs are too numerous to mention here. The road trips and lost weekends to the nearby institutions of higher learning introduced us to Maj. Westanna Bobbitt some interesting people. No one will forget too quickly about the numerous adventures to O'Furry's to hang out and have some burgers. No GR could be conquered without at least three movies in the TV room the night before. And those trapping trips showed us, if nothing else, that we had no leakies in our friendships. The firstie summer proved to be truly a summer of love, forget about 1969. And who could forget all those squadron and Nav Club trips and the seafood we had on all those beautiful ocean ports? Well, well, well, it went too quickly. The brothers have done served their 49 months they have no choice but to return us to society. Over the years the Hawks have earned the reputation of a happy squadron, but amazingly enough, we still managed to stay in the top nine in the group. It is utterly inconwe haven't even started. This ceivable that we're done now is the quickening. If we do our best, everything will work out alright. So, Hawks, here come two words for you, go get 'em. Hopefully this will be turned in by COB.

STALAG lesson from visiting 17th Squadron and the class of '64 helped keep things in perspective for the firsties. First, an explanation for the chosen patch design was given. We learned that the torch represents the torch of knowledge, the wreath is a symbol of military excellence, and the gauntlet signifies a fighting spirit and sense of honor reminiscent of medieval warriors. With this newfound awareness of purpose, the seniors in 17 suddenMai. Paul Valuvcin ly found enjoyment in studying in UOC and marching to breakfast. Balancing this inspired need for discipline and new regulations, however, was the story behind the nickname "Stalag". Fortunately, the Class of '90 practiced total abstinence from the use/abuse of alcohol and escaped being restricted for an entire semester like tradition would have it. On a more serious note, every member of Stalag 17 should be proud of the way we operated as a family, taking care of our own when someone was in need. "The Survivor" will graduate because his friends and classmates never left him to fight the battles alone. With a tear-filled goodbye, the class of '90 would like to thank Major Valovcin for opening their eyes to the benefits of micro-management and intramural statistics. The firsties also claim that sleep comes easier now knowing that the Reg Book can be a friend, a source of strength, and a guide for life.

has

prided itself this past 89-90 school year as being one of the diverse and unified squathe cadet wing. This the Trolls year pushed increasingly towards military, athletic, most

drons in

and academic excellence.

Focusing on the professional military education of each individual in the squadron, the Trolls have emphasized training heavily this year. Hoping to produce the best in Academy graduates, the Tough Twenty Trolls continue to renew their devotion to military excellence. Athletically, the Trolls have dominated. Producing four Tri-athletes, All-American and All-Region volleyball players, a Cross Crountry All-WAC Scholar Athlete, the leading scorer in the nation for lacrosse, and Jr. Olympian in Synchronized swimming, the Trolls have had many outstanding athletes. Boasting not only the athletic accomplishments of its squadron members, the Trolls have also produced a medical school scholarship recipient and an All-Academic water polo player. The Trolls have had a great year and continue to

BLACKJACK rwenty-first Squadron

was

formed in the fall of 1961.

The original squadron patch was a diamond shape with

ground

blue back-

over crossed swords. At the

bottom of the

patch was a blue bearing the words "21st Squadron." In the Spring of 1963 a new patch was chosen as the official squadron patch. The patch is loaded with symbolism. The Ace and Jack of Spades Maj David ]. Thompson forms a Blackjack, which is the squadron nickname. The cards signify skill, spirit, ability, and fellowship. It is hoped that these qualities will be formed in the men and women of Blackjack, and carried over into their careers as officers. The green background of the patch is a mixture of blue and yellow, commanded when the patch was adopted. wreath

dron's original patch.

The emblem's triangular shape compares the squadron's strength and solidarity to one of the sturdiest geometrical shapes-the triangle. The patch's dominant color is red, symbolizing courage. The saber, with the navigator's badge and globe, represent strength and readiness. The class-colored light rays, converging to a point on the horizon, symbolize unity among all the classes of the Cadet Wing.

They kept us out of trouble but they never prevented a good time. Both supported the Redeye rule: duty first, good times always. 91 (a. k. a. the buddies) also partied hard this year with the main event being held in Kansas. The class of '90 wishes you the best of luck next year with this crowd.

BARONS r

he Mighty Barons of 26th,

squadron rich in tradition

and heritage, continued its infamous reputation as a training squadron. Thirdclassmen were not the recipients of all this training (as was rumored throughout the Wing). Our primary goal was to smoothly integrate the lower two classes into the squadron and, in

the process, become a more co-

Maj. Duff A. Muir

hesive unit. Under the leadership

of Brad and Chris, we made great strides toward this goal. First, we hosted the annual Barons' Olympiad, an intrasquadron competition between the different classes. Next, we threw a wild

birthday party for our AOC. The sponsor

trip to Reese AFB was an exciting time for the cadets, and we made a lasting impression on our sponsors (thanks to Curt). To kick off the second semester, we went on two excellent ski trips.

Although these activities made the year more excitit ing, was the people who made it a year to remember. This was Major Duff Muir's last year as AOC, as he went on to

KNIGHTS OF THIRT the ages, the have always been

r hrough Knights

known for their strength, charisma,

willpower and knowledge in

the profession of arms. Prided by their academic excellence and

willingness to succeed despite all extenuating circumstances, the members of 30th squadron showed why they are called the Knights during '89-'90. The year was typified by Capt. Deborah ]. Parson change for CS-30, as it was for the rest of the Wing. The Berlin Wall went down, while Brig. Gen. Redden came in. Wearing UOD to dinner was out and marching to breakfast was in. The Buddha went out and getting huge was in. Maj. Catlin was out and Capt. "P" was in. Training went out and Ac-Call at 1900 hrs. became common-place. Of all the

changes that occurred, it can be said that the most important were those within the individuals of the Knights of Thirt.

Fall Commander:

Through all the good times and bad, everyone has found another piece of themselves which has only made the whole that much more complete. Good luck to the class of '90 in the Air Force and to all who will be here next year! May the Knights continue to set the standards,

GRIM REAPERS Squadron, also known ^ ^ 1st the

JL as Happy Grim Reapers! had a great year in the fall of '89 and the spring of '90. Starting the '89 fall semester was a bit of a shocker with a new Commandant.

Many changes were made like NO CIVIES,

SAMI's than

ever

and

marching to breakfast. On 9 August the two degrees tried to make the big decision is it really worth all this? Miraculously they all stayed and the squadron even —

Capt. Debra J. Dubbe

got two new guys, Jason and Chris!

But how could anyone have even considered leaving when the fall semester was looking so terrific with Jim as Squadron Commander and Captain Dubbe as our fearless AOC! Through everything Squadron of the Month in August (or was it squadron of the week?), beer ball, white water rafting, tailgates, football games, 2-3 degree softball, Halloween, the bake sale of the century, the crude and rude roommate game and the squadron ski trip we had tons of fun. We all looked forward to Wednesday nights with —

—

ice cream and movies. And how could you forget the night owls of the Late Nite Movie Club!

The only thing to be said about 31 is that we are a squadthat has fun with the most spirited 4 degrees in the othwing who did more spirit missions and nukings than ron

any

squadron. Through thick and thin, 31 was and will always be the best squadron. Good Luck '90, in all your endeavors! And to Captain Dubbe we will miss you! er

The Roadrunner represents speed and craftiness, as he always cleverly evades numerous encounters with the

speed, is the jet aircraft soaring to the top of the patch symbolizing flight and the aspirations of new careers. This is the squadron's original patch. -

just below the word "Wild". The entire patch is enclosed with a circular black border.

The

Squadron's name was derived from the Air

Force's famed SAM suppressors of the Vietnam conflict.

This is a tribute to the F-105 pilots who flew the Wild Weasel missions and a symbol of the similar "Fly and Fight"

spirit of thirty-five. This, our second patch, was designed by Cadet David D. Mason class of '77, and was adopted in 1976.

r Squadron originated

not

from the popular cartoon character, but a helicopter unit in Vietnam. The 361st Aviation Company (U. S. Army!) conducted air assault operations in South Vietnam from 1968 to 1972. God bless the poor bloody infantry. The biggest accomplishment that the squadron was to face would come with the class of 1990. Our new AOC, Major Maj. Isaac K. Woodfork Woodfork was a big surprise. Brigadier General Redden was even a bigger one. But all in the squadron will confirm that Carmen was just a BIG! Longer battles were fought over these three individuals than Ed Porta has ever looked at himself in the mirror. 90 soon wished the good old days of "Hard Knox" were here

again. From the training (abuse) of 91 (those three degrees) royal screw of 90, we hung tough. In group, we always made the upper nine squadrons possible. The military side of the house was never our high point, medium point, or even a low point. We considered it a no point, to the

and so did group grading. The tone-loc TV was a tribute to those less fortunate and gave us something to rally around. It still didn't come close to the show of unity we made against Captain Flores. In the end, the Pink Panthers of 90 felt the "everyone had to be somewhere" and we were here.

ALL STARS the 28 members of the class of '90 the All Stars can finally kiss this place good bye. The past three years in 38 have been tough on all of us in more ways than anyone could possibly imagine. Even though we all came from different parts of the country, races, and religious backgrounds, we all seemed to come together in the end. We have had some pretty unique experiences over the past three years. Who could forget. Maj. Robert M. Keele the Bermuda moped scandal, the infamous Bambi assassination, the firstie camping trip to avoid a SAMI, nocturnal mountain parties, turning bathrooms into oversized jacuzzis, and something unique to 38 hospitality checks to unsuspecting members of our officer chain of command. Through it all we managed to have some incredibly outrageous times and still placed in the lower rankings of Hah! Hell, if it ain't fun don't do it! Fourth Group On a more serious note though, we will all be moving to different parts of the globe, whether being pilots, navi"Turn gators, engineers, or various other specialties Keys NOW!". With God's good blessings we will all live long prosperous lives in whatever we end up doing. Just something to think about. Some of us will become generals or the President of the United States some day. So watch out because the members of the MIGHTY '90 ALL STARS know who you are and where you live!

up to their name once again, even if we couldn't change it. 89-90 wasn't the year for safe

driving. The Safety/Security NCO was busy first semester with motorcycle, truck and car wrecks. Fortunately none were serious. Second semester it was

only a fire. On the lighter side, it was a good year for falcon love. Budding romances in all four Muj. Gary Frith classes made the squadron a kinder, gentler place (except for the freshmen). Special thanks to Disco for working so closely with the thirdclass, and to the firsties for the attention given to the guests from the Academy Assembly. Feel The Thunder. The past year has been very good to 39th squadron (Campus Radicals), and now it is history. We had for our second year the ever most popular, Maj. Gary "far" Frith who is trying to incorporate in us the "gut feel." This year we have developed a work hard-play hard attitude or maybe just play hard. Whatever it was, we tried to

After three years at the

Academy, seniors expect to be treated as gods and begin to act as if they were. Freshheed their every word and Air Officer Commanders begin to treat them with respect and maturity. tiecoming an officer is close at hand. Yet each year in the last months and even men

days prior to graduation, a handful or more get ex-

pelted. Whether due to honor violations or alcohol

related incidents, this ritual signifies the final weeding.

Why would anyone sacrifice over three years of intense schooling and military training to be expelled in the last week? Why would anyone jeopardize their graduation and commission-

ing by cheating on a test or driving while under the influence of alcohol? At graduation practice the seniors numbered 975, but when graduation finally arrived, the numbers dwindied to 970. It seemed to be an annual passage as life at the Academy isn't always black and white.

To counter balance the rules and

regulations of military 4ife at the Air Force Academy, cadet personalities were observed through the pictures, clothing and memorabilia each cadet chose. Because the wing was re-

stricted from wearing civilian

clothing while on the hill, cadets went overboard once they went downtown. Batman and

Bart Simpson tee shirts were in, as were

leather jackets and neon

shorts and shirts. The louder the

clothing the better. Earrings were

in for some male cadets as

well, although the cadet regulations strictly prohibits wearing them. Morale boosting activities in the squadrons were constant.

Wrestling in the squadron halls became a favorite activity causing black eyes, nose bleeds, and even a couple hospital visits. Most squadrons held gross-out contests where cadets expressed their personalities. Why would cadets defy reg ulations, act out of the "norm of military character and possi

bly injure themselves? Why? Because life as a cadet is so reg

ulated but the rules were not al ways black and white.

was that fourthclassmen should go back to wearing class-colored baseball

caps, as they had in past years. Allowing four degrees to wear BDU caps was another attempt at

preserving class dis-

tinction that went awry.

The result of the numerous policy changes sent the wing into an uproar and gave the upperclassmen a significant feeling of inequity. Coupled with drastic changes to training policies, the class distinction issue brought the

fourthclass year into constant question. Class patches on bathrobes enSURED THAT CLASS UNITY WAS NOT FORGOTTEN WHEN THE UNIFORMS CAME OFF.

Spirit missions were one tradition that the "guys on top" tried to

During the Fall semester KAFA hosted a Band Bash on a warm Sunday afternoon, the day after the Acceptance Parade. Freshmen were glad to go to an activity on their own. KAFA radio and the Cadet Activities Entertainment office sponsored this event. Two bands, "The Mutts", a heavy progressive group from Albuquerque, New Mexico, and "Chris Danioels and the Kings" from Denver, provided the music which was heard all the way to Vandenberg Hall. The Ray Boston Beach Party, held in early January, lifted the spirits of the returning freshmen from Christmas break. The Beach Party offered a little more than music: Swimming, sun-tanning, ice-cream, and putt-putt golf.

Those cadets with a little craziness in them played Twister. The highlight of the night were the contests, particularly the Helium Balloon contest. Talking

creatively over the microphone while sounding like Alvin, the Chipmunk was an event that nobody missed. For the athletic type, the "Hold you breath under water" contest drew a crowd as well. which was the "Everyone had fun basic idea. If not, MWR would be out of a job. —

The Air Force Academy draws cadets from across the nation and beyond. It was no wonder that there were over 70 clubs to meet the needs of the Cadet Wing. From caving and mountaineering to rodeo and scuba clubs, the Academy was able to accommodate most everyone's desire for an activity to participate in. Difficulty was found when trying to organize a club for the first time. Rules included having an

Officer-in-Charge (OIC), and coordination through Cadet Activities was difficult at times to adhere to. It was hard to find an officer or civilian who would be willing to dedicate the time to advise a club or even be interested in participating in one. Yes, it was

rough finding an ad-

viser, but once one was found, they would normally be a great help in orga-

nizing and locating funds

for club activities.

petitive sport." The Rugby Club's record stands alone as a trophy to what the team has accomplished in the past, while providing a standard for what they are capable of doing in the future. "Last year (1989), we had our first national championship. We were second in the nation in 80, 83 and in 87 and we were third in 86 and 88. So we've been in the final

four quite a number of times, but we've only brought home the championship once. That's what we're looking to do this year. That's our goal. But they can't do it alone. The club itself is made up of a large staff of officers who act as liaisons with the Athletic Department as well as coaches for the club. Military Rugby is a term used to describe the rugby clubs of West Point, Navy and Air Force. Looking at them as a whole, they have been very successful in bringing rugby into the eyes of the public. The U.S. Combined Services Team beat the East All Stars, which was made up of the best players from all over the east coast, including a few players that play on the national team The Eagles. "We're trying to present an image that rugby really is a good sport, and that we're very serious when we play." -

"In a typical year the falcons are shown more than

Officer-In-Charge Colonel Lawrence

Schaad said. To prepare a bird to perform, Falconers take an eight week old baby falcon and have the bird sit on a hand for 4 to 6 hours daily. After three weeks of this type of handling, the bird is then trained to jump from a hand to a perch for food. This distance is continually increased un-

til the falcon will dive for meat on a lure.

"Training normally takes about eight weeks, although the cadets would like more time. This is The

impossible. baby birds must be ready to perform at the first football game," Schaad said. Every year baby falcons are used in performances because much like children they have more energy than adults do, Schaad added.

For the past four years Falconers have trained falcons from the wild because the older falcons are not

breeding. Schaad said the Falconers take their

jobs seriously. "They care for the spirit of the Academy. When the

falcon soars and attacks it risks its freedom and shows dis-

cipline. The same is true of cadets. They are disciplined to serve their

country.

Most people are aware of how intense and demanding the academics are at the Air Force Academy. What most fail to realize is that most cadets don't learn the formulas and theorems of their majors but learn prioritizing and time management instead. Time restraints are ever present and class unity is always emphasized. Many times that posed questions concerning the amount of collaboration that was permitted on certain

projects. Occasionally too much collaboration constituted an honor code offense. This past year, collaboration was divided into four categories. If a cadet collaborated on a project that no amount of collaboration was allowed, he'd fall into an honor violation if caught. Cadets are instructed to work as a team, yet how can cadets do their own work and help each other out at the same time if honor is a threat? In the academics arena, it's not always black and white.

There are always a few instructors

which a cadet can look up to as a mentor and guide. For every chemistry ma-

jor, this instructor was Lt Col Blake Sonobe.

After graduating from the Air Force Academy in 1970 with a Bache-

lors in Chemistry, he was stationed at Eglin AFB. He then studied at Texas A&M for his Masters degree in Nuclear Chemistry. After becoming fully knowledgeable about nukes, he came to the Academy to teach Freshmen Chemistry and Nuclear Chemistry. Five years later, he was given an opportunity to attend the University of California at Davis to earn a PhD in Physical Organic Chemistry. Lt Col Sonobe retired with 20 years of service and became an

honorary member of the class of 1990. Lt Col Sonobe understood people and how to best work with them. He

challenged us academically, athletically, and personally. In the end, we felt good about our accomplishments. We had grown.

Major Murphy began his under-

graduate education with a ROTC scholarship to Southwest Texas State University in 1975 where he majored in Math and Computer Science. After a four year tour at Randolph, he requested an assignment to the

Academy. In 1983 Major Murphy was sent to the University of Maryland by the Academy to get his PhD in Computer

Science, and returned to the Acad-

emy to teach in 1987. His decorations included the Department of Defense Meritorious Service Medal, the Air Force Meritorious Service Medal, and the Air

Force Commendation Medal.

Major Murphy knew cadets were "darn busy" but his philosophy about

teaching was to make the course more challenging than most could handle so each student could find out what he or she was capable of. He easily spent six hours per lesson in El and sometimes had up to eight cadets outside his office.

The

Computer Science major provided a background in computer programming, languages, systems, and applications, with emphasis on electronic digital computers. The aim of this major was to graduate officers who were highly qualified in the rapidly growing areas of broad

computer research, computer management, and the application of computers to complex scientific, engineering and information management problems. Cadets who successfully completed the re-

quirements for this major received a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science degree, which was accredited by the Computing Sciences Accreditation Board.

Major Harold Bare was one of the most

inspirational instructors at the

Academy. Most EE majors were filled with apprehension when they found out that Major Bare was their instructor. Why? Because Major Bare forced his students, one way or another, to learn. He first came to the Air Force

Academy to teach in 1982. He left two years later to get his PhD at Purdue University in Solid State Devices and Integrated Circuits. Almost every EE major at the Academy had the pleasure of having Major Bare in class (some, more than once). He really enjoyed being in class with cadets. Many learned to respect him,

they learned where he came from (Virginia Military Institute). His specialonce

Major Peter Liotta graduated from the Academy in 1978 with a major in Humanities. He was the outstanding

graduate in English and the first cadet editor of Icarus. Just before graduation, Major Liotta was given a last minute waiver to permit him to go to pilot training. He was accepted into graduate school at Cornell University and received two graduate degrees: one in creative writing and one in English literature. He returned to the Academy in 1988.

Throughout his career as an Air Force officer, Major Liotta has contin-

ued to write. He wrote four books: Sol-

stice, Tellurion, White Falcon, Blue Zoo, and Learning to Fly. The cadets liked Major Liotta because

he didn't distance himself from

them. He talked about life in the Air

Force, in the Wing, as an English instructor, as an officer and most impor-

tantly as a human being.

The English major offered a wide variety of

Captain William Rhodes was a graduate of Clark University, Massachusetts. He received his graduate degree from Georgetown University. After being assigned to the Pentagon for several years he sought a teaching job at the United States Air Force Academy. He was a positive motivation to his colleagues, students, and other assodates.

Captain Rhodes' dynamic attitude about teaching and helping cadets gave him the reputation of being one to whom many of us looked to for advice and guidance. When asked his favorite

aspect of the Air Force Academy he re-

plied "working with cadets." Captain Rhodes was an inspiration to all cadets who knew him.

During the time he taught at the Academy he was always respected and appreciated by the cadets for whom he was such a profoundly positive influence.

Japanese language, as well as Navigation at the Air Force Academy, Major Hasebe left in January of 1990 to spend a tour as an exchange officer at the Japanese

Air Staff College in Tokyo.

Major Hasebe grew up in Hawaii and learned Japanese as "baby talk" at home from his Japanese born mother. He came into the Air Force out of

AFROTC at the University of Hawaii. Even though he wasn't an Academy grad, he did earn the "Top Stick" award in his detachment.

Major Hasebe loved his assignment at the Academy and

Captain Robert Baker was a popular teacher with cadets who appreciated his sense of perspective as well as his sense

of humor. If he tended toward

the cynical in his estimation of a few

facets of Academy life, he fully recognized the value of the Academy experience in the context of the elusive "big picture". Captain Baker communicated this practical reality to the cadets, who were usually more interested in the

here and now than the theoretical be-

nefits of discipline.

Captain Baker was aware of the demands of being both a student and a

cadet, perhaps because he was both an officer and an instructor.

fered for those cadets interested in the discipline of law as a field of critical inquiry within a frame-

work of a broad liberal arts education. Graduation with a major in Legal Studies 47

Captain Green was a Management major and a 1980 graduate of the Academy. His entire career prior to returning here was spent in sunny California (which explains his "like, totally mellow" attitude). In between, he man-

aged to pick up an MS in Systems Management and a PhD in Business Administration. The fact that he's been stuck

teaching Accounting for the past three semesters (whether it's because he's yet to get it right or simply because no one

else wants to) doesn't necessarily label him as lacking intelligence. Captain

Green had that special ability of being

able to relate to his students. The

learning that took place in his classes comes from the genuine desire of his students to show him that his under-

standing and concern is not unnoticed. Captain Green possessed an asset not found on any balance sheet

—

per-

sonality that will be remembered.

The Department of Management dedicated itself to the

development of each student's skills in planning, organizing, directing, and controlling resources. This was done through a variety of courses covering accounting, management science, human resources management, finance, or-

ganizational theory, strategic management, management information systems, and organizational behavior. Individual programs were developed for each student, and students graduating with a managment degree had a edge in any career field.

The Computer Center was another place where cadets spent a large percentage of their time. Many times, cadets tried to print out an English paper or Computer Sci-

The Library (also known as Sleepy Hollow) was a place where many cadets spent a large part of their cadet career. Whether cadets used the a safe

The Academy, like most other

universities, is competitive in nature. The Academy recruit-

ed over 260 cadets to compete in numerous sports this past

year. With over twenty-six in-

tercollegiate sports, the Cadet Wing had to be very supportive. Team spirit was abundant. During meals, at football games and on the terrazzo, the fourth class cadets displayed the most spirit with cheers, games and spirit missions. Buck-buck was a favorite game in which the freshmen

piled up leap-frog style, and the tradition of counting off pushups for each touchdown scored continued. The greatest show of spirit was evident each weekend during the fall semester. Football games spirited the wing into a frenzy and at times got out of control. Cadets tossed their classmates into the air as well as pizza boxes, cheese and chickens. On occasion

would get hurt. At times it was difficult to draw the line between spirit and danger. Lessons were learned but the rules in the games were not always black and white. someone

"Give credit where credit is due" said Dowis, "It was a team effort. I took them.

They made the holes and People talk about records, but all I

want is to win." And win is what Dowis did. His

opening touchdown a 55 yarder with three cutbacks was only one of the six touchdowns the senior quarterback made, breaking the AFA single game record of five touchdowns. His rushing yardage total, on 13 carries, broke Dowis' Academy record of 241 yards. The Aztecs took an early lead with a 7-0 score on Ron Slack's 68 yard burst just 93 seconds into the first quarter. After missing a field goal attempt just minutes later, the Aztecs were unable to score again until after Dowis had scored three touchdowns and the Falcons were ahead by a 28-7 lead. -

Dowis scored twice in the first quarter for a total of 83 yards, twice in the second for

// T 've been here for 10 years and I can honest-

JL ly say that's the greatest win we've had," said Falcon head coach Fisher DeBerry after the

Falcons knocked the wind out of the Wyoming

Cowboys with a whopping 45-7 win. The Sunday night game, played to a damp and chilled crowd of 45,799 and televised on ESPN, ended Wyoming's three-year winning

streak against the Falcons. It also ended Wyom-

ing's 16-game winning era in the Western Athletic Conference. The Falcons held the Cowboys to a mere 219

yards with just 20-yards rushing. "I think Air Force Falcon defense is back," Coach DeBerry said. And it was. The defensive line was tougher mentally than before and held together for both the big and little plays alike. a

But you don't just win football games with great defense. Dee Dowis tore up the Cowboys

with 21 rushes for 201

yards and two touch-

downs, which gave Dowis the Academy record of 2,776 rushing yards. Dowis also became the first Falcon to rush for at least 200

yards in consec-

utive games. "This was their

game tonight," said Dowis referring to the Falcon defense. But it was also the game that would launch Dowis into the

arena

of being a Heisman

Trophy candidate and

all-American.

"Maybe it was fitting that they (Falcons) are

the ones to break the streak because of that heart-

breaking loss last year," said Wyoming head

coach Paul Roach. The Falcons left the 88-89 game against the Cowboys late in the third quart-

losing to Wyoming 48-45. But the Falcons were determined that they would not be embarrassed er

again by Wyoming. They would soar high and feed upon their

prey. And they did.

always said that Dee Dowis wasn't a one man offense and they proved that in their victory over Northwestern. Halfback Greg Johnson ran for 95 yards and three touch-

downs. Fullback Rodney Lewis charged up 98 yards rushing and Halfback Chris Howard gained 78 yards, including a 14-yard touchdown and scored a 2-point conversion. And Trent VanHulzen caught a 44-yard pass in the first quarter to bring his career total to four receptions for a total of 68 yards. "They (Northwestern) may have stopped Dee's yardage but they didn't stop him. His pitches were what we needed/' said Greg Johnson. Dowis, now under the careful watch by Heisman Trophy officials, was unable to complete a majority of the triple-option plays. He was, however, able to finish the game with 40-yards and a touchdown on eight rushes. The Falcons were able to finish the game with 394 yards rushing and 525 yards overall. They remained the only Western Athletic Conference team undefeated with

an overall mark of 3-0. "Air Force deserved to win. We had no ex-

cuses," said Northwestern head coach Francis Peay. "Our offense played well, but when we got to the

point when we could seize the momentum, didn't." Northwestern ended the game with a total of 423 yards, 315 yards passing. The Falcons fell behind 7-0 and 14-6 then turned the game around and tied the score 14-14. With less than a minute and a half left in the first we

game I've ever been a

part of," head coach Fisher DeBerry stated. "If we hadn't been so far ahead, we could have lost." The

early lead in the first half came too easily for the Falcons and they simply let their guard down during the second half. Everyone assumed that the Miners would collapse soon after halftime. Everyone

assumed wrong. "I think we

Although Dee Dowis gained 86 yards rushand scored two touchdowns, he was disturbed ing by the noise made by the crowd. The crowds cheering prompted the officials to call four penalties on BYU for excessive noise. The Cougars lost one time out and half the distance to the goal on three others. Dowis also passed for 170 yards to become the fourth NCAA Division I-A quarterback to

both rush and pass for 1000

yards in a year. "He's

great athlete," said BYU linebacker Bob Davis. "We had so many people keying on just him. For him to get that many yards with so many of us a

of the game between the Falcons and the Utah Utes. "It wasn't a pretty win, but it was a win." The Falcons won the match

by only four points, bringing their season record to 8 wins and 3 losses. The Utes had an early 3-0 lead against the Falcons but trailed 34-18 by halftime and allowed the Falcons only 8

points during the second half. Utah scored the final twenty points on three touchdown passes by Utah quarterback Mike Richmond and two extra-point kicks. The Falcon defense finally brought down the Utes on fourth down in the last 90 seconds of the game allowing the Falcons their eighth victory. Air Force ran for 397 yards rushing, with Greg Lewis and Dee Dowis destroying the Utah defense. Dowis completed 8-passes for a total of 137 yards (103 yards rushing and two touchdowns).

toward the athletic fields to

spend the afternoon blowing off a little steam and taking out aggression on a ball or an-

the highlight of the day.

Cadets could select a sport they excelled in during high school. These zealous types got into the squadron spirit and put their hearts and souls into the game at hand. In a

way, they could relive the glory days of high school, and have a lot more fun. Others lost themselves in perfecting their skills. Intramurals for these people was not a time to get excited or stressed. They found, their sports relaxing—a chance to get their minds off the pressures of the day. So, most cadets complained on their way down to in-

INTRAMURALS Our wide world of sports began almost as abruptly as the school year. The first day of intramurals signaled that the school year was well under

tramural season finally began. The fields became flooded with hundreds of athletes and the familiar sounds of whistles and players yelling at referdominated the playing field. The action was intense and the level of play sometimes matched the level of intensity, but everyone had some fun

Wallyball and raquetball catered to that human need to bounce balls off the wall while swimming proved to everyone just how long they could hold their breath. The games were different and no longer under the warmth of the Colorado sun, but everyone had some fun releasing some of life's frustrations.

SPRING INTRAMURALS After the dark ages of winter, intramural athletics

greeted the long awaited spring go-round. While basketball, water-polo, walleyball, and volleyball were still played inside, flag football, Ultimate Frisbee, and group rugby were played outside on the fields. Although the weather got a bit warmer, the ground was still thawing and the snow was still falling, making a mess of the fields. Outdoor intramurals were frequently cancelled and fell behind in their schedules.

Water polo involves constant motion as the players will sink without constantly

treading water. Along with that, they have to worry about advancing the ball. The goalie stretches to block a shot that

JUNE WEEK The final weeks of school could be very unclear and

confusing at times. Seniors were°awaiting their birth of flight, saying goodbye to fouryear friends and preparing to enter a new career field.

Fourthclassmen were moving to new squadrons, scouring

for sight. Thirdclassmen were being sent into the unknown of survival training and the second class received their

rings and got ready to take over the wing. A time of change for everyone brought uncertainty and fear of the unknown. For the firsties, a whole new world was ready to greet them. What would

these new roles entail?

Seniors were extra careful not to mess up so they would graduate on time and together. As the final weeks ap-

proached, everyone was anxious, including the officers, who did their last minute testing. The last weeks were

supposed to be fun, but somehow,°some cadets ended up

paying the price. Would our honor be tested in the real Air Force? Would the regulations be clearer and more precise? Or would life continue to not always be black and white.

JUNE WEEK

MERRY

The week all seniors had looked forward to had finally arrived. After four long years the final week seemed to come too quickly. Lesson 42 ended and finals soon were over. The count down was

finally into single digits. Four years of cadet memorabilia soon found its way out of the closets and into the Goodwill bin. Before

you had enough time to pack up your belongings, it was time to

ship it out. After several briefings and the graduation practice all that was left was to toss our hats. As parents arrived from all across the country and beyond, the activities began in full swing. Sunday,

the Baccalaureate and Parents Reception; Monday, the Organiza-

tional Awards Parade and Individual Awards Ceremony; Tuesday,

WEEK OF the Graduation Parade, Buffet, and Graduation Ball; and finally the suspense of Wednesday; the Commissioning Ceremonies and the

long

awaited

Graduation

Ceremony. Unfortunately,

the

weather was unpredictably wet and made everyone nervous. For-

tunately, the Graduation Ceremony went off without a hitch. The weather couldn't have been better.

DUTY After what seemed to be three endless years of waiting, the evening of the Ring Dance finally arrived. Dressed in most handsome uniform, and

our

accompanied by our favorite

date, we headed over to Mitchell Hall for an evening of fine food and wine. The evening began with a social hour but soon progressed to

the chimes being rung and dinner being served. The food

was

great, the company was better. General "Chuck" Yeager,

our

guest speaker, spoke about his experiences as a pilot

career

and a

officer.

"The time had finally arrived. Our rings had arrived and as our

dates charged our glasses with champagne and slipped our

rings into our glasses we realized that this would be a once a

lifetime experience. Soon the ring was placed on our fingers

where the bold crest proudly stated 1991

...

On Sunday during graduation week, parents and guests of the

graduating class attended two events: the Baccalaureate Services and the Parent s' Reception. Cadets could

pick up tickets for Protes-

tant, Catholic, or Jewish services at the Chaplain's office. All day, cadets and their families went from the Baccalaureate Services to the Parents Reception, or vice versa,

depending on their assigned

times.

LORD The Catholic Baccalaureate was one and a half hours long and

the most interesting part was the homily. The celebrating priest

described our Christian lives in terms of our class ring.

Shortly after the Baccalaureate was over, most everyone went to the

Superintendent's home where the Parent's Reception was

held.

Parking was only two blocks away and made for a short

walk. General and Mrs. Hamm greeted each guest and welcomed them to the Carlton House. The Carlton House is in the National

Register of Historic Places and has been called "the most beautiful quarters in the Air Force". The Eisenhower Sword, which is embedded with diamonds and rubies, was on display, and everyone

helped themselves to punch and cookies.

ity must have been less than ten feet, so cadets weren't surprised when the announcement cancelling the parade was made. Imme-

diately seniors started calling hotels and condos to inform their parents of the cancellation. There were a couple of hours to play with before the still uncancelled Individual Awards

On Tuesday, the day before graduation, the rain started fall-

doors was dreary, the decor inside Mitchell Hall was magnificent.

Support beams were turned into mossy weeping willows with balloons and streamers. The Mitchell Hall employees were dressed in Mardi Gras Fat Tuesday attire and were serving some awesome

Cajun vittles. Amoung the appetizers were stuffed mushrooms and breaded oysters; the favored main course was Shrimp Jamba-

laya and fried okra. An assortment of desserts included pralines, pastries, and Petit Fours. After cadets and guests stuffed themselves with the fixings, it was on to the Graduation Ball to dance it off. Parents could go the Officer's Club for a oldies dance while

cadets, dates, and siblings wandered Arnold Hall mingling.

JUNE WEEK

Everyone was up with the birds early Wednesday morning as Commissioning Ceremonies began at 0630 hours. Coffee, juice, and donuts were served at most ceremonies for the sleepy eyed and hungry guests. In forty locations around the Academy and in Colorado Springs, seniors, officers, family, and friends

gathered for the exciting occasion. Although cadets were happy that this special day had finally arrived, almost everyones nerves were

frazzled due to the pressure and anticipation of

graduation week activities. The biggest of days had just begun.

BUTTER The individual Swearing In Ceremonies began when each cadet's name was called. It would be the last time they would be

called a "Cadet." As they raised their right hand and repeated the Oath of Office there would be no turning back. They would defend the Constitution of the United States, with their lives if need be. Some cadets stuttered and some cried, but ev-

eryone was happy. A new beginning had begun as the two officers left the stage to sign the Oath of Office forms.

Right: The absolute last march-on for 90. Bottom: There's nothing like the final hat toss.

THE GRAND Due to heavy rain Tuesday night, the atmosphere was edgy

with dreadful thoughts of an indoor graduation. As the sun

slowly burned off the clouds, smiles were abundant. The day was warm

and wonderful. Graduation began with the march

on, the most

exciting parade of the past four years. Then, as

though everything stood still, memories from the past paraded through our minds. "Would we see our classmates again?"

"Would Mitchell Hall still be serving greasy eggs for breakfast?"

"Would General' Jack still be here when we came back to

teach?" As the Thunderbirds approached with speed and the hats

flew high, the greatest cheer of relief echoed around the Acad-

emy.

"Ladies and Gentleman,

you are

dismissed," General Redden

exclaimed.

Catching a bolt of lightning used to be a shot in the dark. Take the picture you see here, for example. Ordinary exposure control systems could be fooled by the dark black sky and overexpose the lighted skyline. But with the Nikon N8008, all you do is select Matrix Metering (our unique multi-segment computercontrolled light meter), set the exposure control for Aperture Priority Automatic and, if your timing is right, lightning will strike. Using AF Nikkor optics, the camera will

automatically evaluate the scene’s lighting to achieve the picture you see here. This is one example of how the N8008 and its system of accessories simplifies the complex, putting photographs that used to be difficult to impossible for anyone but a professional within reach of just about anyone.

EXPERIENCE-IT’S A NATIONAL RESOURCE McDonnell Douglas’s 18 contract instructors at Luke AFB represent over 61,000 hours in fighter aircraft with a total of 27 combat tours and three MIG kills. Experience like that is hard to find on active duty these days—but it is a resource too important to waste. That’s why the Tactical Air Command selected McDonnell Douglas Training Systems Inc. to provide academic and simulator instructors for the F-15 and F-15E Eagle training programs. McDonnell Douglas retains professional resources like these Luke instructors for A-10, OV-10, F-lll/EF-111, and F-4 training programs. It also trains SAC KC-10 aircrews and is going

to train crews for the MAC C-17 airlifters. And now McDonnell

Douglas has been selected by the U. S. Navy to train aircrews for the E-6A. Retaining human resources is good for everyone. It’s good for the retirees whose skills are saved. It’s good for the students who learn from experienced instructors. It’s good for the Air Force which achieves new cost efficiencies in its training programs. Everyone wins!

1990 POLARIS STAFF With many retreats and more pressure on meet-

ing deadlines, the 1990 staff stuck together and com-

pleted the first full color academy yearbook. The POLARIS is produced by a volunteer staff and receives no military or academic credit for their time spent in designing layouts, writing copy and photographing all the activities and events that make this book possible. The credit they receive is knowing that they had a

part in making the POLARIS a reality. I thank each

member of the staff for hanging in there and helping make the POLARIS the very best that it can be. Kathleen E. A. Fulton
