Nothing too special. In fact, amongst the sea of blue, each cadet is but a face.

However, cadets are spedal. They are

standing in front of that valet mirror because they are the best. Their reflection is not of a normal college student even if they dream of being one.

It is not of a liar, a thief, a cheater, or a

drug dealer: even if that is what the world

reads in the daily newspaper. The reflection of a cadet is that of an American who is

working

hard to be the best they can be for their

country, an American who will take an oath to defend the constitution at all costs.

At times it may be awful or cynical,

but those reflections are only temporary.

Cadets should be proud of the Academy, even if

things didn't go quite right or if the

Another possibility would be to have cadets serve

functional roles at the Academy that are not

exactly coveted. Punishments could include serving CO shifts, SDO shifts, setting up M5 periods or squadron functions, or taking accountability. This would greatly affect the cynicism that many cadets get from taking on responsibilities that are painstaking and overbearing yet necessary. Additionally, this system would also reward cadets for not being punished by giving time back to hard working cadets.

After four degree year, cadets begin to take

other sports in addition to the core courses to round out their physical education. These classes allow students to play a sport they most likely would never have

tried, while providing the opportunity to

learn sports that may be beneficial to an AF career

From

racquetball, to voland to cadets are ofsoccer, basketball, leyball fered a wide variety of options. The quality of instruction is good enough that cadets can take the skills they learn in ten lessons of class and pursue the sport outside of the academic arena if they so desire.

The PE program is an outlet for cadets to

spread their boundaries and expand their athletic careers.

T&Kifc&ig A Ljzsxniig Engineering 410, this class tops off the Academy “experience” as the final haze. But unlike the other hazing experiences, this class was very useful and interesting with a whole bunch of peripheral work thrown in to make it interesting. The class starts with an introduction to the Air Force acquisition process then leads into a full

design project from design, development and testing to final construction. The handful of cadets in the class cover the gambit of academic majors and experience levels. This leads to a very interesting set of group dynamics and challenges. If your class can’t work together then your project is doomed to failure. Many classes learn the value of teamwork through a trial by fire. While the projects are usually very interesting and purposeful projects, nearly all of them could be built in a day in your garage with the right tools and equipment. However for some reason, this process is stretched out as long as possible, and tries dearly to suck away every ounce of free time avail out

able.

By the time you figure out what your class wants to do to solve the design challenge you are already behind the schedule. You put together several good briefings only to have some person from the outside tear them apart, After about 38 lesof designing and testing, you’re left to build

sons

and present the final project in the remaining time.

Frustrated and often lacking sufficient time, money,

supplies your team constructs the project. Reaching completion, your design and construction cost approach the hundreds of thousands, but it

doesn’t matter because you are finished. You’ve designed your pinewood derby track,

walker, model plane, or some other project. These

projects then go out to help the disabled, the Cub Scouts, or some other charitable community need. And when Ws all said and done, you walk away with a great sense of pride and accomplishment in the work. While this class has been a thorn in the side of cadets for many years, the class of 2002 will be the last class to experience Engineering 410.

The best thing about finals week is that it is an opportunity to taste real

Like every Air Force competitive team, our character, spirit

and consistent performances speak for themselves. This was a great year

for our program and the next season looks very

promising for both the men& and womens fencing teams.

regionals, junior Allison Todd placed sixth with a 39.050.

Even though they did not achieve their goal of being one of the top five teams, the Rifle Team ended their season looking for

ways to improve their record. The level of talent on this team is increasing greatly and the amount of performance from each team member has never been

I o have a scuba club at the Air Force Academy may seem like something of aparadox, but every year hundreds of cadets sign up. With members ranging from beginners up to experienced with over 100 dives, the scuba club represents a wide cross-section of the cadet wing. Several doolies are attracted to the club each year by the promise of weekend dive trips to New Mexico in civilian clothing. A significant number of upperclassmen sign up for the spring semester course in preparation for break or a summer vacation. Even though the scuba class through AH

spring

teaches the basics, the only way to get certified at USAFA is with the club. If you really love scuba diving and want to continue to learn as well as

teach, you can spend the time to become a scuba instructor. These former club members have not only shown a high degree of competency as divers, but have also sacrificed hundreds of hours of time to upgrade as instructors. Most start off as semi-experienced divers entering the club, others upgrade

with no prior diving experience.

Instructors also have the opportunity to

compete at the Grand Lakes Scuba competition, but shifting silver weekend schedules derailed this years trip. The scuba club offers National Association of Underwater Instructors

(NAUI) certifications in Basic Open Water, Advanced, Rescue, Master Diver, Assistant Instructor, and Scuba Instructor as well as Nitrox and Ice Diving specialties in cooperation with local dive shops. Most dive trips are to the Blue Hole in Santa Rosa. New Mexico, while day trips are often made to the

Aurora Reservoir. For instructors, the destinations list becomes a bit more exciting with the additions of the spring break trip.

In past years, the team of instructors has traveled to such locales

Cozumel,

Hawaii, and Fiji.

This

year promises citement with a journey more ex-

to Rotan

Island, Hon-

duras, for reef exploration and wreck div-

The ultimate Frisbee club team

began the year under the leadership of C2C Mike Schmidt, but just prior to the end of the fall v.\ semester, Major Ben Thielhorn stepped in to coach the team. Over the course of the year, the team played in a number of tournaments including a sectional tournament in Fort Carson, and a regional tournament held at the Academy. Although the team did fairly well at both, they hope to improve upon their record next year. “The team showed a lot of promise this past year, playing some very tough games against even tougher competitors:’ C1C Joseph “Chapie” Chapman said, “With only two losses to the roster in the next two years, I’m certain this team will become one of the top teams in the region.”

Along with Chapman, Hale also feels the teamh best season is ahead of them. “We had our ups and downs, but I think the team had fun and has learned a lot since last summer!’ Hale said, “And we’re going to go out harder than ever next

Bur cadets represented l SAFA at the 2002 United States Handball Association (USHA) National Collegiate Handball

Championships that took place Feb. 21-24 at Texas A&M University. This fearsome foursome was made up of CJC Bergan Hugos, C1C Keith Young, C1C Erich Weller, and C2C Mark Enriques. With onl\ four competitors, it was tough to keep up with the big boys of collegiate handball. Nonetheless, this quick-handed quartet still managed to place the Academy right in the middle of the pack in the final menfe team standings. USAFA finished 16th in the final mens team standings with 176 points. A total of 32 colleges were represented at the national tournament. This could be the last year for handball at the Academy due to the departure of long-time coach Bill Scharton coupled with the keenly distressing fact that funding has become a major issue at USAFA for most clubs. into the 2002-2003 academic year, many of the If for most of the clubs at the remains an issue

Each

How many of us have made plans, screwed up somehow (or not), and then ended up grumbling in our rooms with one or two friends around to keep us company in our misery? 1

The Academy requires a lot of self-evaluation.

Many people judge the four degrees’ performances and it’s important to judge the merits of those words. Itfe taken a long time for me to realize that people aren’t inherently out to pick on the slowest runner, the one who just can’t pass a knowledge test, or someone who just can’t do 50 pushups in one minute. People may get frustrated with those people for a short time, but the real question is, “How do those people react to knowing they’re not as perfect as their high sdhoolk made them out to be?” Obviously the right attitude is to tenaciously work to succeed, but many people, ineluding myself, get frustrated with the way uppers choose to point out these

That, however, is irrelevant.

Wf you need a filness role model, check out the U.S. Air Force Academy. This is what a recent menfe fitness magazine had to say about cadets at the Academy.

While most people may think that ca-

dets are just naturally physical specimens, working out to maintain this image is a huge part of cadet life. This is made apparent if you spend some time after classes and look around the campus.

Rain, cold,

the falcon biking trail, swimming some laps, or everyone^ favorite hitting the weight room. Witnessing these striver cadets does not come without rewards. More often than not, you will see a shiny-white shirtless body out running, or some bodybuilder kind enough to cut off his sleeves so everyone can marvel at his pipes, and if you are really lucky, a slightly overweight man in a tiny blue issued swimsuit. Though often overcrowded, the chance to see the variety of uniforms in the cadet weight room is enough to keep us all upor shine you will

cadets out on a run,

dated on the latest fashions.

Whether it be a USAFA T with the

sleeves rolled inside out, or a wife beater nicely accessorized by

running tights, you can always count on cadets to stay up with the latest trends. No lift would be complete without everyone marveling at their own size in the mirror. If anyone can truly appreciate the physical fitness level of a cadet, itk themselves. From bathrobes to boxer shorts to sleek leather jackets, cadets rely on the gym and working out to truly fill out the look. If you ever need proof of the popularity of this sport, just venture down to the weight room from three to five o’clock any weekday and notice how the weight room has longer lines than a womens rest room at halftime of a WNBA game.

The 2002-2003 academic year

usually recognized as “The year of the missing firstie privileges’’ but for members of the class of 2003, we knew it as “The year of no parking!’ 2003 was not in command when we heeded the Tiger Teams recommendations to change the schedule of calls. We were not responsible for MCQ or Excellence Time. We did not have primary responsibility in leading the Cadet Wing in post 9-11 life. It was not our idea to train 2005 differently was

than we were trained.

No, 2002 had the pleasure of being on top during all

relatively large changes to Cadet life. 2003 simply sat back, eagerly enforced our new roles as NCOs, smiled when our clerks rushed out to train, learned where not to park when greeted with nasty little pink notes on our windshields, and became more capable in 25,000 sweet little new ways. Some people, like C2C John “Cadet/ Brigadier GeneralSelect” Barry might think of it as “one more year to forget!’ Others, like C2C Anthony “Pass The Courvoisier” Pryor disagrees, saying “No matter how hard the man tries to shaft us, I will always think of the unforgettable landmarks we these

we all have so many memories of that expanse of white ie sacred terrazzo: marble and green grass. Remember all the walks to class where you slipped and fell on the ice or tripped on the half inch of that terrazzo block that sticks up? Remem-

ber all the formations to march to lunch or breakfast, for those who are old enough to have experienced them? Remember seeing all the late night “creepers” who would pose as four degrees doing spirit missions as they walked back in the early morning hours. Remember walking to class in your “uniform of the day” combination that never seemed right for the temperature outside and arriving in class with either

forming on your nose? Occasionally throughout this past year, although it is hard to believe, the terrazzo did get crazier than that. Remember the night of the Sister Hazel concert on sweat dripping from your brow or ice

the terrazzo when a few cadets decided that the fountains looked like nice swimming pools? Remember when AH hosted the wing intramural championships on the ^^■^^nember when ESPN filmed Game Day while many cadets attempted to steal the eameiajo say hi to mom? Finally, remember when the first ever Academy Powder Puff ^atball games took place? Remember what the rules were, where the flags were, Wjo threw 1 he first punches, or who really won that game? Although no one can ^swer those, the question of the best looking team was undisputedly “Lancefe Ladies."

What goes unsaid are all those otheiuimes that you and your friends did

spreading the love of the game of basketball to several young boys and girls while teaching the fundamentals of the game. Coaching is definitely a test of patience and, surprisingly, a unique test of leadership abilities. Ten screaming kids all with different needs, abilities, and maturity levels will test anyones ability to lead and keep his or her cool. However, the intrinsic rewards that this experience brings are completely unparalleled. To guide the players and know that they trust you to teach them everything about basketball and sportsmanship is an awesome feeling. Hassan Campbell, along with Tony Straw, Rod Faulk, Matt Wolthoff, coached a young middle school-aged team in Colorado Springs. “Coaching and watching my players grow on the football field, was an awesome experience for me, but i really enjoyed talking with them and filling their minds with positive images and milestones to shoot for” he said. “Sports often puts people in the position to make a difference in others lives. Some take the role and plant a positive seed in someone’s life. That is what I tried to do, and that is why I love coaching.” Others coach soccer, baseball, and tennis. Cadets like can even be found coaching and assisting with

The program allows chil-

Wing and take part in day-to-day activities. The cadets for a day take part in many activities including ground training with the Wings of Blue parachute team, stick time in the T-37 simulator, a tour of the chapel and a sortie in a glider with a Cadet instructor pilot. The climactic point of the day is at noon meal formation when the cadet for a day takes charge of a squadron and marches them into Mitchell Hall. The cadet for a day is introduced to the Wing to a large ovation and gives the command, “Wing take seats!’ allowing the Wing to begin the meal. The program is strongly supported throughout the Wing and both the basketball and football teams awarded Cadet for a day Alex Annias an autographed t-shirt. Each squadron commander also gives him or her a squadron patch. The program allows cadets to give something to the community and often makes many cadets realize how lucky they are It also reminds us that people to be at the Air Force Academy. look up to cadets, even as heroes in some cases.

furious, and there was a public show of patriotism that would be rare to find even in the heat of the Fourth of

As October rolled around, the scrappy Arizona

Diamondbacks were pitted against the seemingly insurmountable

Though it was a long, knock-down drag-out affair, the Diamondbacks excelled behind the arms of Cy Young Award winner Randy Johnson and fire-baller Curt Schilling. In the end, the men from the Bronx stood subdued by the newly crowned World Champion Diamondbacks. As the fall wore on, football came into high gear. In the collegiate arena, the Bowl Championship Series once again brought anxiety and disagreement to the team rankings. Many preseason stalwarts dominated, while little respected schools such as Fresno State or Oregon State make incredible runs for the championship. Despite the loss in the Big 12 tournament, Heisman Trophy winner Eric Crouch led his Nebraska Cornhuskers against the undefeated, undisputed top ranked Hurricanes of Miami in the grand-daddy of them all, the Rose Bowl. When the dust settled that January evening, Miami had emerged victorious and was crowned champion by all. As NFL play charged on towards the New York Yankees.

“SPREAD YOUR WINGS AND FLY”

n/vttk.

I have a million stories that I could tell about all the great things that Kyle did while he was alive. It goes without saying he was good at everything he did; school, sports, music, relationships, friendships.

He knew everybody. Walking anywhere always took longer with Kyle because he had to stop and say hi to every person he knew, and ask how their day was. He always smiled. Even when we were going through the toughest training, you could count on looking over and

seeing that Wagner smile. Kyle would do anything for you, no matter what the cost to him. When we would get together and watch a movie in his room,

he’d offer you his seat, and if you

didn’t take it, he’d offer it to you again and again, until you finally sat down for fear of offending him by refus-

ing. When the Wing took up a collection for a little with boy down-syndrome and a girl that had suffered a

stroke, I put five dollars in the bucket. Kyle put in eighty. I asked him why he put so much in, and he said, “I want that little boy to live!’ All of these stories give their own little glimpse into the heart of Kyle Wagner, and show that he was an

amazing person. But what I think sets Kyle apart, what made him so special... is that everyone that knew him has as many stories as I do. Anyone that knew Kyle could’ve written this tribute, because he treated everyone he met with the same grace and respect and love

that everyone deserves. The greatest thing Kyle left me... was the dial-

Ienge to do those things that set him apart, to live life more as he did,

and I try every day to live up to him. I

think he left all of us that. Perhaps thatk why he was

taken from us so soon; to teach us all how to live life as it should be lived.

Or perhaps, in the words of my friend Matt

Gersbach, “God just needed a new best friend!’ -

Too often the reflections are blurred or those cadets who have fallen are what

reflects in the mind. We all know reflections can lie. However, this book reflects the truth about cadets It shows tha'r victories and their losses The good and the bad times It reflects those who remain and who have fallen from the cadet ranks This

yearbook is a reflection of life as a cadet. At times that may be awful or cynical, but those reflections are only temporary. Cadets should be proud of the Academy, even if

things didn't go quite right or if the leadership didn't seem to be leading at all. No one and nothing in this world is perfect.

When a cadet looks in the mirror, they should not get hung up on the negatives

Instead they should take a deeper look at their meaning. That mirror is reflecting the best of America.

A Word of Thanks from the Editors Thanks. What more can I say? This year was trying and long. We were faced with new challenges but overcame all of them.

We probably didn’t do all the work we should have and we probably procrastinated too

much but we did do a lot. We got done as much or more of the book before graduation then the past couple of

years. Thank you all for all of your work.

So, to particulars, shall we? LG, thanks for keeping us all in line. We had our disagreements and all but I would say we worked pretty well together.

I really enjoyed working with you and we produced a great book.

Los,

dude, you took your section and the play and IFT and did great with everything. Your section came along super. Erik, what more could we have asked for from a copy editor? On top of that, you helped so much with firsties. Glad you came along for the ride with us. Josh, while you could be grumpy you did a great job. You have come

through for the past 3 years with any photos we needed. Tami, spring semester was tough with setting up pictures so we really appreciated all you did. Megan, you came back from France and helped us finish off the firstie section. Thanks for working hard. Finally, for all you firsties hope you had a great 60 days and are doing well at your first assignments.

Mouse, you came from being a photographer and stepped up to clubs editor and were one of our best. Thanks for taking the job even though you weren’t too keen on taking a section. You are going to do great next

year.

Keep our traditions alive. Solo, you were a little slow but got most of your stuff. Keep working hard for Rob

next year and help him out.

Becky, this mini-mag is great. Thanks for getting it done so the other Becky could

concentrate on finishing up other things.

Ibby, you took on the sports section pretty much by yourself.

even rivaled me in the work you did on the section.

to work on the Polaris next year with soccer.

We got it finished and looking great.

I think you

Hope you can continue

Good luck with everything. To our final staffer, Emily. Thanks for

coming on as a frosh. Not many can do it, take it from me because I did it too. Keep up the work next year and the book will probably be yours in a couple. It was great to have you on staff, thanks for your dedication.

A Word of Thanks from the Editors At the Academy, it’s easy to get caught up in the day to day, never having enough time to do what you want. People always telling you to clean your room or go to that evening briefing. If you do find time, it is usually spent doing homework or down at the gym working on your buffness. However, the key to success at the Academy is not to get hung up in the day to day. The key to having a successful and memorable Academy experience is to get involved in activities you think are important and to surround yourself with good friends. As a member of yearbook staff, I found everything 1 needed to make my Academy experience more than it ever could have been. I didn’t just meet great, hardworking and dedicated people, I became part of a family. I first want to thank the head of the family, a lifelong friend, Becky. You understood us better than anyone

could. You gave us a place to go to get away for a while and you gave us a friend to talk to when feeling down. The Academy and the Yearbook may not have always been a comfort for you, but you were always a comfort to us even when 1,000 miles away. The yearbook staff and I wish you the best and want you to know that you will always be one of our fondest memories at the Academy. I would next like to thank the senior staff. Ret, we had our differences at the beginning. In fact I’d was a time when we didn’t even

say there that well. But our had really get along upon graduation, friendship grown deep. I know

that I can depend on you for anything, as you know I would do anything for you. You have a tremendous heart that

uniquely sets you apart from the rest, and I am thankful to yearbook for introducing me to you. Los, you were definitely one of my most dependable editors this year. If I needed you to get a page done, you had it done plus a couple other pages just in case. In light of the situation, your efforts were a blessing to me as I struggled to ensure everyone was on task. I will always know that I can depend on you for anything, smiles, hugs, talks, anything. Meghan, thank you for all your help. If anything, yearbook may be our sore spot, However, I just want you to know that my hope was that yearbook could be something that we could share as friends. I guess it just didn’t work out that way. Erik, you came through for us this year when we needed you most. Thank you so much for helping us. I never doubted that I could depend on you to be there for me. I'm sure I’ll be seeing you around..I don’t plan on losing track of any of my Roadrunners. Tami, you have always been my number one photographer (no offense Josh) ever since three degree year when you took all those pictures for me and we didn’t even know what each other looked like. Since then, I have gotten to know a wonderful person, someone I share a lot in common with. Our dance dream didn’t quite turn out the

way we wanted it to, but hey, we’ve still got yearbook! Josh, thank you for sticking with yearbook even when you hated the Academy. Not always the most cheerful, we still knew you were softy at heart. Without your hard work, half the yearbooks would have no pictures at all. The whole school should be thanking you, but instead. I will. Thank you!

The new leaders Rob and Solo..you’ve got a lot of work to do,but knowing both of you, I know you are up to the job. Rob please keep Solo in line and Solo, please get Rob to laugh. You both made for me.sorry I was kind of bossy.the Academy was stressing me out. Don’t let the

yearbook extremely enjoyable Academy do that to you.just take

everything one day at a time and everything will turn out fine. The rest of the staff Becky Jones, Chris, and Emily our newest editions. You all have a

long way to go, but I your priorities. The yearbook will need all the experience it can get in the years to come. Thank you for all your help this year. I know it wasn’t easy and it definitely wasn’t always fun, but all in all, without your help and your dedication, this book would never have been finished. This don’t doubt that you will make it. If you can keep yearbook as one of

year, you three were the secret ingredient to what is going to be one of the best yearbooks ever!

A Final Word from the Advisor Well l honestly thought that the 2001 Polaris would be my last yearbook with the Academy. But I can say that I am so very glad it was not. The 2001-2002 Academic year helped restore my sense of pride and reminded me why l have worked on this book cadets! When you get right down to it, all the politics and the contracting/publishing problems do not matter, what matters is the cadets who work on this book. So without further ado.... -

Ret-to think I wanted to choke you as a four degree... or was that just the other day? All

kidding aside, you are a great human being. One I am proud to call friend. No matter what l needed, you were always there to get it. A sandwich, some computer files, a few pages, pictures, or even to fix a computer wait you broke it. I think your exterior does not always accurately reflect your interior which is pure gold. Never settle in life my friend, for whomever you choose to share your life with make sure they are as good to you as l know you will be to them. -

well as the cliche goes, words do not express. You were my rock. You were always organized and had your own "motivator" to get the tasks at hand done. I truly do not think there would be a 2002 book without your diligence and dedication not to mention fashion expertise. I could always count on you to relieve my stress and help put a smile back on my face. And in my absence you shined even brighter taking on more than at times even you knew how to handle. I wish you only the best in life but most of all l hope to always be a part of your life. -

Josh

Behind that rough persona you put on, I got to know a very sweet, intelligent and fun

loving person. I hope that the Academy does not leave with you a negative outlook on life. You are a very good photographer and most of all you were reliable. Thank you for over the years

sacrificing your free time to photograph so many lasting images of the Academy experience, l thank you in absence of all those that can not. And remember, the angel is always there to help when things look bleak with of course Treasures! -

From dance team queen, to the master organizer of pictures during the semester from Tami hell you pretty much did it all. We turned to you so many times not just because we knew you would get the job done, but more importantly because we knew it would be done right. From the first time l saw your photos, I knew you had natural photography talent. I hope you keep taking pictures. The book has a large void now with you and Josh's departure it will be hard to -

fill. my daily visitor! Despite the fact that I often wondered how you got dressed in the morning let alone survived 4 yrs at the Academy, you always found a way to get it all done. I would say a lot of hard work on your part. The cadet life section was the biggest it has ever been and you finished it alone! I could not be prouder. We had many good times in Polaris, and you Los

will be missed.

just kidding., actually you were a lifesaver in more ways than 10. pain in my Without your persistence to get stories in or write them yourself, we would have a picture book only. Then the challenge of getting close to 300 stories was not enough for you, you decided you needed to tackle the firstie section. And what a stellar job you Eric

did there as well. It was a pleasure having you around, my only regret

you did not join

the staff sooner. well Mr. Photographer turned into section editor! I had always known I could depend on you for photos but it was great to see you excel as a section editor. You Rouse

were one of the few that finished your entire section

thank you. I think you are ready

for great things in your firstie year. And I promise not to change everything you come up with :o)

ibby okay another intercollegiate that we have turned to the dark side... however, you play my sport soccer, so l guess l can let you continue to stay on the team. We are so very glad that you decided to be a part of yearbook. It was a lot of fun getting to know you and I appreciate all the tremendous work you did on the biggest section of the book. We hope you can find a way to balance soccer and yearbook in your years to -

come.

Solo

is there a brain in your head? I bet there is, maybe this year we can find it. Despite

your blond antics, you continued to come in and work on your section diligently. And with all your clean lines, you gave the military section a new edge. We look forward to what you will bring to the table next year

just don't break anything!

Meghan Thank you for coming back from France and sharing your last semester with yearbook. Your time devoted to finishing the firstie section was greatly appreciated. I hope that you got a little something from all that you gave. -

you both came to yearbook as rookies but you ended the year as true veterans. I know l speak for everyone when l say we hope you both stick around. Not

Emily & Becky

only did you work hard on your sections, but your faces around the room were refreshing to see. We look forward to many more years of your time and talents. To all the photographers and writers that I did not mention individually, Thank you! Without each and every one of your contributions, this book would not be possible. To

those of you receiving this book, we hope you enjoy looking through it over the years half as much as we enjoyed working on it. This is my fifth and final yearbook at the

Academy, l wish all of you well and great things in life. Shine bright

POLARIS

Shine bright!
