Raptors savor inaugural trip

By C1C Erin Doran

Cadet Squadron 22, the Raptors, received the opportunity of a lifetime when they marched in the 57th Inaugural Parade for President Barack Obama Jan. 21 in Washington D.C.

The honor fell to CS 22 as the Academy’s Outstanding Squadron for 2012. About 80cadets from the squadron volunteered for the inaugural weekend and were lodged at the Naval Academy. They happily endured long waits to get the chance to march past the reviewing stand.

“It was a once in a lifetime opportunity to be a part of such a great American tradition. The experience was so surreal,” said C1C Yasmin Sarmiento.

The parade route was about a mile and a half long and the weather was a bit chilly but the cadets finished the parade on a high. Marching between the Air Force Band andthe Air Force Honor Guard, the Raptors had to make sure they looked as sharp as they could to represent the Air Force Academy.

“We were walking down Pennsylvania Avenue with the Air Force band playing and everyone in the crowds cheering,” said Cadet Sarmiento. “Our group took the parade very seriously because we all wanted to look our best, so we practiced every day we were there for several hours.”

Participation also brought home many of the lessons taught at the Academy.

“Every week the entire wing participates in morning and noon meal formations, and it’s hard to see how it matters or affects our future officership,” said C2C Adriana Dong. “Personally, this was the first time I’ve ever actively participated in something that affected the entire Air Force and the United States.

“As I looked ‘eyes left’ and saw the President before me, I could not help but think about how people all over the world were watching. Just like I said in my congressional appointment interviews, I wanted to be a part of something bigger than myself. And this was it. I finally made it,” she said.

The march past the reviewing stands held extra weight because the Class of 2013 recognized one of the Airmen standing next to the President, Air Force Chief of Staff Gen Mark Welsh III. He came to the Air Force Academy in the fall of 2011 and gave what many cadets and permanent party consider to be the best speech they have heard while at the Academy. General Welch is a 1976 graduate and former commandant of cadets as well.

“Blue skies and

his wish of good luck and fair weather for pilots has become a phrase we’ve seen and heard everywhere: the discrete last line of an e-mail signature or the solemn recital at the end of a fallen graduates’ formation.

As we’rethrown into Basic Cadet Training for the wake-up call that signals the beginning of our time at USAFA, we suddenly wish for all the good luck we can get. We cling to any bit of motivation or help to get us through those weeks of basic that blend into the months of four degree year. Recognition is the signal of fair weather ahead, but as all cadets know, the weather doesn’t stop changing.

Three blizzards in two weeks to 60degree weather the following weekend, cadets are constantly joking how USAFA can go through all four seasons in a day or two. Yet no matter the weather, we’re always finding ways of enjoying ourselves and letting off a little steam. Sun? Sand volleyball, tanning in the quads and throwing water balloons on sunbathers. Snow? First-Shirt-First-Snow, snowball fights, snowboarding and skiing down the athletic fields. Wind? Tzo sailing.

For four years we struggle through the storm that is USAFA, enjoying rare moments of blue skies and celebrations like Recognition, Ring Dance, 100s Weekend and the

ultimate goal - graduation. Along the way, we’re tested and tried through Colorado’s harsh weather and unexpected challenges.

Despite the adjustment of new three and four degrees, changing permanent party, a new Commandant, a re-elected president and sequestration, cadets still find a way to locate fair weather.

Forged in Fire:

Waldo Canyon blaze adds unique challenge to BCT

►FBy C2C Andrew Bathurst

Basic Cadet Training began in historical fashion for theClass of 2016. As the Waldo Canyon Wildfire bore down on the Academy’s southern border, people questioned if everyone would be evacuated and whether or not BCT would even be able to continue.

Fortunately, the heroic actions of countless firefighters were able to halt the advance of the fire and, with a few minor adjustments to Inprocessing Day, BCT continued as normal.

Leaving worried parents behind, the Class of 2016 was soon thrust into the demanding military lifestyle. After a short bus ride that they won’t soon forget, new

basic cadets were greeted on the footprints by C2C’s Nate Bratka and Victoria Perkins who delivered the first taste of what the next six weeks would bring.

“The footprints are their first introduction to the cadet wing. It’s really important because they learn the position of attention and their seven basic responses,” said BCT cadre C2C Mallory O'Malley.

The next few weeks were a constant flood of information for the new basics. They took the Oath of Office, administered by brand new Commandant of Cadets Brig Gen Gregory Lengyel, took their first physical and Academy fitness tests, practiced marching and drill, and

learned how to keep their rooms in perfect inspection order at all times. They were also tested physically and struggled to adjust to the high altitude.

“The hardest physical thing I’ve had to do so far is 400 pushups at one time,” said then Basic Cadet Ian Heffrom.

Just as basics were beginning to get comfortable with life on the Hill, they were marched out to Jacks Valley to begin the second and much more physically demanding phase of BCT. They faced a multitude of challenges including the Obstacle Course, Self-Aid Buddy Care, and of course the infamous Assault Course.

All of these were designed to test the new

cadets’ leadership, teamwork, courage and physical endurance.

Finally, after six grueling weeks Acceptance Day arrived and basic training was officially over. With the words “The Class of 2016 is accepted into the United States Air Force Academy Cadet Wing” relief spread over every one of the basics’ faces.

Many brand new four degrees were reunited with their parents and all looked ecstatic as their new shoulder boards were placed on their uniform by their cadre. But as the saying at the Academy goes: “It’s funny because they think it’s over...”

Q\ Why did you come to the Academy?

A: The Academy is the best institution to train me to become a great officer in the Air Force and I want to serve my country!

100s Night, Weekend

Seniors, freshmen celebrate nearing end of school year

^-By C3C Emily Willson

Asenior’s year is marked by many significant events: last Ml and Tl, last final exam, commissioning and graduation. One of the earliest and most-anticipated of these milestones is 100s Night and 100s Night Weekend.

One of the Academy’s deeply-rooted traditions, this event competes with Ring Dance as big in their memories. Not only is 100s Night and its weekend a marker for the limited number of days left, but it is also a moment for the senior class to celebrate together, and reflect on old times, both good and bad.

“Hundreds Night made it real, made the light at the end of the tunnel brighter, but at the same time I vividly remember freshman year and decorating the seniors’

rooms back then, and I can t believe it was my turn,” said C1C Katie Moorkamp of Cadet Squadron 13. “For the whole class, since we'd already gotten our bases, it was more a time to celebrate with each other at how far we’d all made it."

The event started out with 100s Night dinner on the 100th day until graduation. Tradition allowed firsties to dress up according to their future Air Force specialty. Mitchell Hall was filled with flight suits, construction helmets and other creative outfits. After the night, many seniors went off base to celebrate, forgoing squadron activities because their base assignments had been released weeks earlier.

The end of the week was marked by seniors packing their cars with skis and

suitcases, some off to the mountains and others off the iconic places such as Las Vegas, NV, and New Orleans, LA. Most cadets grabbed a group of their best friends, rented a cabin and spent the long weekend skiing, watching movies and eating incredible food.

Upon returning to the Academy, firsties eagerly ran to their rooms to see what mayhem the freshmen had wrecked over the course of the weekend. Before opening the door, seniors held their breath hoping to avoid the infamous rooms placed in Saturday Morning Inspection order.

“We showed the upperclassmen how far they’ve come since they were freshmen; now it was their turn, and it marked the ‘last stretch’ of their long journey here at

USAFA,” said C4C Zaiquan He, freshman class president. “It showed the Class of 2013 how much they are appreciated and how much we will miss them when they are off to do bigger and better things in for the Air Force.”

Rooms varied from one filled entirely with Terrazzo blocks, to intricate jungle scenes.

“Personally 100s Night was very bittersweet,” said C1C Ryan Dukes of CS 3. “It is something you see so many people go through as an underclassman, and yet once you are the one whose 100s Night it is, it becomes so surreal. I have been so blessed to have such a great secondary family over the last four years and once the fact that you have 100 days left with them is realized, life becomes very real.”

Class of‘16

Recognized Trial forges bond between classes

4-By C3C Emily Willson

Four degrees spoke of Recognition with both reverence and fear in the weeks leading up to the event. After nine months of speculation, the weekend was greeted by the Class of 2016 with relief in public and apprehension among their classmates.

Whispers of “It won’t be too bad,” and “It's only three days, what could really happen,” filled hallways on the Thursday Recognition began. These self-assuring

words were met with confident smiles and laughter from upperclassmen nearby.

“No matter how bad it hurts, not matter how out of breath I am, I know that my buddy next to me is going through the same thing,” said C4C Zaiquan He, Class of 2016 president. “I'm not going to quit on him or her because I know he or she is not quitting on me.”

During lunch, freshmen were given relief from the silent treatment the day

traditionally brings. Cadet Wing Training Officer C1C Kschris Anda briefed the freshman emphasizing Recognition would be what each person made it.

“It can either be a physical beat down or a meaningful challenge for the entire year,” he said. “I challenged each of them to be better than me, better than the upperclassmen and better than the Academy as we see it.”

The event started with a retreat forma

tion, one that took extra precautions to avoid the hill incident of the Class of 2015, which quickly slipped into wing, group, and squadron-led training sessions to start the weekend off with the right tone.

Recognition Friday is historically the toughest physical challenge at the Academy; four courses, including the new mental fitness test, along with countless squadron beat sessions delivered a group (Continued on p. 22)

(from p. 21) of physically exhausted four degrees to the beginning of theme rooms.

“Theme rooms were my favorite part of Recognition. It was more than just a physical experience like most of Recognition and it was a lot more rigorous than I was expecting,” said C1C Matt Dirk recalling his freshman year. “It gave me a new perspective on things here, and made me realize that I want to do the best I can while I’m here.”

The rooms provided the four degrees with a glimpse into the lives of

American prisoners of war and helped give meaning to the trials cadets had endured since Inprocessing Day many weeks prior.

The Run to the Rock marked the winding-down period of the event. Seniors made their second and final trek to the rock with the class that would follow in their footsteps.

“I hope to leave a legacy of my four degrees of always doing the right thing and living Air Force Core Values,” said Cadet Wing Commander C1C Josh Williams after the trek. “That’s truly at the

heart of what it means to be a good Air Force leader and an officer of character."

The Academy settled into a new, more relaxed rhythm in the days after Recognition. Four degrees quickly put the rigors of freshman year behind them and focused on school as graded review season arrived. But the trials of Recognition would not soon be forgotten.

“Recognition was what it needed to be - challenging, intense and meaningful. It took a lot out of the cadets that cared and those who worked hard all year, earned each day,” Cadet Anda said.

Recognition’s end is cause for seniors to rejoice as well as freshmen. It signals the firsties are in the homestretchbefore graduation. (Photo by Arnie Spencer)

Outstanding squadron

22 ‘threepeats’ as Cadet Wing’s best squadron

he guide on bearer of Cadet Squadron 22 marched to the center of the Organizational Awards Parade where thousands of spectators watched as the Raptors were awarded the accolade of Outstanding Squadron May 27 at Stillman Field.

This award symbolizes all of the hard work accomplished by CS 22 throughout the academic year. The Outstanding Squadron award is given to the unit that most excels in the areas of academics, military performance and athletics. This is the third consecutive year for CS 22, an unprecedented accomplishment.

“The mentality in our squadron is different. All of us aspire to do our best in all areas and our hard work has shown.

We approach everything differently,’ said C1C Bryan Anderson, spring semester squadron commander.

Anderson and other squadron members feel this culture is the most defining feature of the squadron. Over the years, the Raptors have continuously developed a climate that encourages all squadron members to strive for success whether it is on the intramural field or in the classroom.

“We’re known for winning but people don’t recognize how much we care about one another,” said C1C Doug Brown. “We strive to mentor and develop those around us and that aspect definitely has contributed to our success.”

torship full participation as being critical for their success. Every member is dedicated to the learning experience within the squadron and committed to becoming the best leader possible.

Winning Outstanding Squadron in the past has come with benefits. For the third year, Raptors will be seated on stage with distinguished visitors and the guest speaker during graduation. The squadron marched during the Presidential Inaugural Parade this January as well.

“Although many other opportunities are likely to be hailed for this year, members of Raptors do not strive for the reward. Instead, they strive to be the best that the United States Air Force Academy has to offer,” said C1C Evan Boone.

Call sign ‘Chum’

Powered flight offers sample of Air Force flying

>FBy C1C Ali Balutowski

From “sharkbait” to solo, the Powered Flight Program readies cadets for possible careers in flight.

Air Force instructor pilots share technical experience and war stories as they teach cadets how to fly a Cessna T-53A aircraft. Students bear the unflattering nickname of “sharkbait” through most of the program because the call sign “Chum” is used for their solo flight.

Cadets have the option to take powered flight during the summer or for half of a semester during the academic year. The program starts with eight 90-minute flights with an instructor pilot. During these missions, cadets learn to fly the aircraft and perform maneuvers such as a lazy eight or a chandelle. They also learn how to navigate, recover stalls, respond during emergencies and much more.

“You study the checklists and hope you get it right,” said C1C Lauren Sako. “When you make a mistake and the instructor pilot tells you where you messed up, you tend to emphasize that next time.”

Every day before flying, cadets are briefed on the day’s weather and other

notes important to the day’s plans. After the brief, a student pilot makes a presentation on procedures in an emergency situation, and then it’s time to fly.

The program culminates in a ninth ride the intimidating moment where the student flies solo.

“You feel kind of lonely. I tend to say checklists out loud and go through them two or three times to make sure I have everything,” Cadet Sako said. “During pre-solo, the IP pretends you’re the only one there, but there is definitely a difference [solo]. The flying for the most part is pretty easy; it’s just the landing that’s the hardest part.”

Upon landing, soloists are rewarded by getting thrown in the dunk tank by their classmates.

Powered flight is a great opportunity to have some fun flying and is especially valuable for those going to IFS after graduation because students learn a lot in a very low threat environment. It also gives cadets a small taste of what a flying squadron is like and what future pilots have to look forward to in a few years.

T I ^he Cadet Aviation Program introduces students to the T-6 Texan II & DA-20 Simulators using syllabi derived straight from undergraduate pilot training and initial flight screening.

“The CAI program has helped me immensely during my time at the Acadt emy,” said C2C Alec Gunsch. “It helped me to prepare for the Powered Flight Program where I soloed early and has given me more motivation to do well in pilot training.”

The cadet-run program consists of eight phases, the first four to become an instructor pilot, the last four to improve IP flying skills. Areas of focus are visual Fight rules and instrument flight rules maneuvers and navigation as well as

T-6 systems, acrobatics, and formation flight.

The program is a great opportunity available to upperclassmen.

‘The CAI program has given me a lot of time and experience that have helped me prepare for UPT. Without the CAI program, I wouldn’t have any flying experience and my chances of getting my first pick out of UPT would be much

lower,” said C2C Jeremy K Sunshine, next year’s flight commander.

Wings are presented to new IPs at monthly meetings. The program makes use of classrooms and printed resources to learn to fly the aircraft at its best performance. The club under cadet leadership has high standards as well as strict accountability.

Many lieutenants who have participated in the program credit their success in pilot training to their time learning and teaching in the simulators.

“The CAI program built my confidence for IFS. It helped me develop my instrument flying, which is one of the more challenging parts on learning how to fly,” said C2C Sofia Schmidt.

General Lengyel

New commandant brings non-grad perspective to top Cadet Wing post

^Interview by C2C Sarah Castro

POLARIS: What were your thoughts when you were selected as Commandant for the Air Force Academy?

GEN LENGYEL: I was very surprised, actually. As you guys are well aware, Em not an Academy grad, and I know that traditionally this job has been filled by military academy grads. It takes a while to grow your own general officers as a new service academy. The first 10 or so commandants, I think, came out of West Point, and then the Air Force Academy with few exceptions. So I was surprised but extremely excited about the opportunity to come here. And I have not been disappointed. I really love being here.

POLARIS: Yourfirst duty assignment was at Peterson AFB. Did you come across town to the Academyfor anything?

GEN LENGYEL: I did. I came up to the Air Force Academy to play golf a couple of times. And that was really it.

POLARIS: Has the experience ofthis place lived up to the expectations that you had coming in ?

GEN LENGYEL: Oh, absolutely. It's a great job. Colorado Springs is a great place to live. It's a great place to work. And I think that the mission of the Air Force Academy is very important, and I'm glad that I can be a part of it.

POLARIS: That actually leads right into my next question. What do you and your family like about Colorado Springs?

GEN LENGYEL: I like the weather.

POLARIS: Really?

GEN LENGYEL: (Laughs.) The timing of that is pretty bad since we just had a snowstorm. I like the dry climate and I like sunshine, and we tend to have a lot of that here. Also, 1 like the open spaces. I like to go hiking. I like to ski. I like to golf. It’s not year-round golf, but they have some great courses here. I like to PT

outside, so the long summer’s great for that.

POLARIS: Do you enjoy running at altitude?

GEN LENGYEL: I do.

POLARIS: And the stairs. They’re pretty great.

GEN LENGYEL: I don’t mind it, actually. After a couple of weeks, your body adjusts. What I really like is going back down to sea level and running, because then I feel like I can run forever.

POLARIS: What were your chiefchallenges in thefirst couple ofweeks or months?

GEN LENGYEL: The biggest thing, of course, was the Waldo Canyon Fire. I took the commandant’s job on the 25th of June, and on the 26th of June, the fire rolled over the hill into Colorado Springs and burned almost 400 homes, and came very close to threatening the Air Force

Academy. You know, there’s a number of acres on the southwest corner of the Air Force Academy that were burned and the firefighters held it off amazingly. This was the morning of the 27th.

We would have had to seriously give thought to evacuating all the cadets out of the cadet area, and the following day was also the day we were supposed to have the new basics come in for the Class of 2016. So, quite frankly, I was lucky that I had a very good staff working for me that did a lot of great planning. Actually, a lot of cadets were involved in the planning and the work. We were very much interested in keeping basic training on schedule, even if we had to move it off of USAFA to do it. So that was the big challenge of becoming the Commandant. I don't think it would have mattered if I’d been the Commandant for 10 months or 10 years.

(from p. 29) POLARIS: Were there any experiences in a previous assignment that prepared you for the Waldo Canyon Fire that occurred during yourfirst week on the job?

GEN LENGYEL: When I was a wing commander at Hurlburt Field, which is on the Florida panhandle, we had to deal with hurricanes. So it was a similar experience down there, where you get the whole team together, you're watching what’s going on, you have decisions to make. A hurricane, of course, you can start watching several days out. Much like a hurricane, we had experts who were trying to figure out what the Waldo Canyon Fire was going to do.

POLARIS: So, ruling outfirst shirt, first snow, what’s yourfavorite Academy tradition sofar?

GEN LENGYEL: Recognition. I was extremely pleased and impressed with

how the entire wing came together to pull off Recognition.

You know. Recognition happens kind of as we come out of the dark ages. The mood of the wing was not great in the weeks prior. We lost a cadet—we had a fatality, as you probably remember. The weather is cold. It's dark. It’s just around the time when the first round of GRs is taking place. You still have a long enough time in the semester to go that people aren’t really thrilled about being here. And all of a sudden, in about a week’s period, that entire attitude transformed with Recognition. And all of that negative stuff that had been going on to bring morale down just seemed to go out the window. You worked together. It was all about finishing that training experience for the four degrees in the Class of 2016. The effort that went into it was phenomenal.

POLARIS: Cadets are always inter-

ested in hearing about the Air Force outside the Academy. Give us one of your best special operations stories.

GEN LENGYEL: I’ve got a great story for you. At the beginning of the Iraq War, in 2003,1 was the commander of a special operations helicopter squadron, and we were basing out of a small British base called Akrotiri on the islanc of Cyprus in the Mediterranean.

We were the first aircraft of any kind to cross the Iraqi border from the north, and our mission was to open up the northern front on the Iraq war.

We got in there, and there was nothing there but a bare runway that was lef over from the old Iraq-Iran war days. We flew in, established a base to operat out of, had C-130s dropping us cargo and tents, and we set up our own base.

We operated Hying special forces out of Fort Carson to support the Kurdish insurgency in northern Iraq.

We didn’t have ourown fuel, so every night some MC-130 tankers would fly over from Romania—they were U.S., but they were basing out of Romania— and we would take off and refuel off of those 130s. And so we had to manage our fuel so that we could support the 10th Special Forces group in moving them around northern Iraq, and we had to have enough fuel left in the tanks to take off and refuel the next night.

It was very exciting. I remember it was surreal, almost, the experience of working with the Kurds in northern Iraq, and quite frankly, at the beginning, we didn’t know who our friend was and who our enemy was, but the good news is I got to take my squadron to war and do great things and bring them all home, and it was a great experience.

POLARIS: You told us how you got into helicopters in a briefing at the beginning ofthe year, and I thought that

was kind of an interesting story.

GEN LENGYEL: I thought for sure I was going to be a fighter pilot. But they found a medical problem on my entry physical, which was a curvature of my spine, and that’show I ended up as a helo pilot. I came here for two years at Space Command—I was assigned at Peterson but worked at Cheyenne Mountain—and during that time I pursued a medical waiver to go back to pilot training, and because of my spine they said it had to be non-ejection seat only. And back then you could go straight to helicopters without an ejection seat. So my career is a bit of a study in persistence. I wanted to come to the Air Force Academy but I didn’t get in.

POLARIS: But you’re here now.

GEN LENGYEL: I know! So I took a ROTC scholarship to Texas A&M. I wanted to be a fighter pilot, I got kicked out of pilot training and I fought to go

back. And I nagged them, honestly. I was persistent and finally, I think to shut me up, they gave me a waiver.

POLARIS: Ifyou could go back to your graduation day/commissioning with everything that you know now, what would you tell yourself?

GEN LENGYEL: I would tell myself it’s not a competition. I think when I was a lieutenant I probably sweated the small stuff a little bit too much. I completely acknowledge I was not nearly as good of a team player then. I’ve come to realize how important it is—and it’s changed my perspective— we get a lot more done when we operate as a team and don’t care who gets the credit.

And you know what? Bosses are smart enough to see who’s doing what. People get worried that they need to stand out and get credit. Over time, you’ll get recognized for what you do.

Alumni fatalities

Combat claims

three Academy grads - ‘06, ‘08

^Compiled from news service

Three Academy alumni died supporting combat operations during the 2012-2013 academic year. Capt James Steel graduated in 2006 and Capts Mark Voss and Victoria Pinckney (previously Castro) belong to the Class of 2008.

Captain Steel was killed April 3 after his aircraft crashed in Afghanistan while returning to base from a close air support mission. He was deployed from Shaw AFB, SC, where he served as chief of mobility for the 77th Fighter Squadron.

“Our condolences and prayers are with the family, friends and squadron members of Captain Steel,” said Col Clay Hall,

20th Fighter Wing commander. “This is a difficult time for Shaw AFB, but we are focused on taking care of the Steel family, our Airmen and continuing to execute the mission.”

Captains Voss and Pinckney perished in a KC-135 crash May 3, near Chon-Aryk, Kyrgyzstan. Also killed was air crew member TSgt Herman Mackey III. All three were from the 93rd Air Refueling Squadron from Fairchild AFB, WA.

“We celebrated the selfless service of three great Airmen and Americans today,” said Col Corey Martin, 376lh Air Expeditionary Wing commander during a memo-

rial service. “I had the privilege to fly with Tyler, Tori, and Tre and I saw, first-hand, their relentless contribution to our nation.

I am greatly saddened by their deaths and my deepest condolences go out to their families and to the 22nd Expeditionary Air Refueling Squadron.”

Pinckney leaves behind a large family including her husband, Richard and their 7-month-old son, Gabriel.

“She was like my sister,” said Capt Alexandra Trana, friend and co-worker.

“When I first got to Fairchild she took me under her wing helping me through a lot of things -1 will miss her.”

Voss, who went by “Tyler,” leaves behind his parents Wayne and Marcy Voss from Boerne, Texas and his brother. Forrest, who is a student at Texas A&M University and his sister, Morgan, who attends the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

“Captain Voss treated everyone with so much respect and was so level headed,” said Senior Airman Cody Haynes, 92nd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron crew chief. “He looked after his people. “Any crew chief can tell you that if you were going on a TDY, he would be one of the aircraft commanders who you could really count on to taking care of you.”

Dean’s retirement

General ends 30-year career circle

4-Interview by C1C Nick Espinoza

After a 34 year career, and 9 years as Dean of faculty at the United States Air Force Academy, Brig Gen Dana Born (Class of ‘83) retired from military service following the 2012-2013 academic year. General Born ends her full and distinguished career at what she says has been her most memorable assignment. Between numerous briefings, meetings, functions and mission partner events, the Polaris staff secured a special interview with General Born to capture her story and final words as Dean.

POLARIS: With 17 years cit the Academy what are some ofthe most important changes you have seen ?

GEN BORN: Fostering diversity.

Whether it be diversity in one’s race, religion, orientation, or socio-economic status, etc... the Air Force realizes the richness and synergy that can be brought into an organization by incorporating all segments of society. There has been a huge emphasis on dedicating more resources, safeguards, and protections to ensure inclusiveness and respect for all over the last three decades to ensure our progression with society. No other institution in America can claim such progress.

POLARIS: What was your greatest challenge as Dean ?

GEN BORN: Communication. Definitely communication. Up—down—lateral.

Continued on p. 39)

(from p. 37) John Woods got it right, “You can’t not communicate. Everything you say or do or don’t say and don’t do sends a message to others.”

POLARIS: Did the 2nd lieutenant that graduated in 1983 envision a return to USAFA?

GEN BORN: Like most graduates, the thought never crossed my mind. After four years here I was most excited to be starting my career and to be starting my career and something new with my operational job. In addition, I was unaware of all the avenues available to return to the Academy as a junior officer.

POLARIS: What's on your Outlook calendar after June?

GEN BORN: Family! They are my first priority. I am looking forward to increasing the time I spend with my two daughters and husband as we prepare for our next great adventure when we do one final PCS to the east coast. Who knows, if the stars align themselves, we might even find ourselves back at USAFA once more.

POLARIS: Were the “Beat the Dean posters a tradition when you were a cadet?

GEN BORN: Haha, No. I don’t really recall a “Beat the Dean’’ culture when I was a cadet, nor when I taught from 89-91.

POLARIS: What is one of the most memorable “Beat the Dean posters you have seen ?

GEN BORN: A picture of a snowman labeled cadet and a blow dryer labeled Dean. Deep down I hope this is all good humor motivating cadets during a stressful testing period. Truthfully, I hope cadets know faculty want them to learn and develop, like a coach trains a player, holding them to the highest standards and supporting them to meet their highest potential as lifelong

learners. The focus is more about learning “how to think” rather than “what to think.”

POLARIS: Was it chance or design that your career kept bringing you back to USAFA ?

GEN BORN: I would argue neither, but rather opportunity. Specifically, I was fortunate to be at the right place, at the right time, and most importantly, with the right career progression to make it all a possibility. For all this, I am most grateful for the wonderful mentors and teammates I have been blessed with along my 30 plus year career.

POLARIS: Is there any advice you would like to leave the Class of2013?

GEN BORN: If I could offer the Class of 2013 one piece of advice, I would encourage you to seek a mentor(s) at the first opportunity. You will find plenty of role models ready and willing to jump at the opportunity since mentorship is part of our unique military fabric of “taking care of one’s own.” Newton says it best, “If I have seen further than those around me, it is because I have stood on the shoulders of Giants.” Your mentors will one day be your giants...providing you the vision, direction, and sense of character to sueceed beyond your greatest dreams. As a leader of character strive to live honorably, lift others, and elevate performance of the people, teams, and organizations you serve.

EDITOR'S NOTE: General Born, thank you for giving us your time and unique insight. We will all certainly remember our Dean’s Time while we were at the Academy. We appreciate your selfless and distinguished service as our Dean of Faculty. We send you with all the best in our farewell and final salute to you. Blue Skies and Tailwinds!

Academy Assembly

Students review cooperation, conflict with China

4-By C1C Nathaniel Youd

The 54th Academy Assembly met held here Feb. 4-6 continuing the tradition of bringing together top civilian students with their cadet counterparts to discuss a pressing international relations issue.

This year’s gathering began a four-year series where students andcadets will discuss the United States’ relationship with the four rising economies in the world, the so called BRIC countries of Brazil, Russia, India and China. The first of the series focused on China and discussed specifically the questions of whetherthis relationship will result in “Cooperation or Conflict in the 21st Century.”

More than 100 civilians from 39 universities attended and were able to hear addresses from top academic and government officials in the field of U.S.-China relations. Speakers included Ambassador Jon Huntsman Jr., former governor of Utah and U.S. ambassador to Singapore and China; retired Lt Gen Dan Leaf, Director of the Asian Pacific Center for Security Studies and former Pacific Command deputy commander; and Professor David Shambaugh, professor of political science at the Elliot School of International Affairs at George Washington University and Director of the China Policy Program. Presentations gave students and cadets an inside look at U.S.-China rela

tions and allowed them to understand what issues will drive the relationship between the two countries in the future.

“Getting to meet and talk with Ambassador Huntsman and other experts on China really opened my eyes to the reality of the need for more cooperation and understanding between our countries,” said C1C Ty Perich.

A popular aspect of the Academy Assembly is the opportunity for students and cadets to discuss the topics presented in small roundtable discussion. Following each speech, the audience broke into 10 small groups and an expert on U.S.-China relations led a discussion on the speakers’ main points. Roundtables provided delegates the opportunity to express their views on the topics.

Visiting students stayed in cadet dorms and experienced all aspects of Academy life. They enjoyed lunch in Mitchell Hall and took part in a formal dining in for the Assembly’s closing ceremony, complete with all the pomp and circumstance for which these events are known.

Other popular events students experienced were tours of the Cadet Area, the Cyber and Falcon SAT labs, and the airfield where guests were briefed by members of all of the flying organizations and had the opportunity to view and sit in several academy aircraft.

Guest speakers toured the Academy’s airfield.

Capstone Knowledge application tested by multi-disciplinary projects

4-By C3C Jeanne Domingo

Four years of academics - around two of core curriculum and two more in major’s courses - hopefully culminate in the graduation of a well-rounded lieutenant who is versed in art and science. Many though face a final test to help show the pinnacle of cadets’ education success: Capstone.

Capstone projects are used throughout the academic fields here to show how the education here is not only purposeful, but also useful. Designed to test, strain and improve cadets and the Academy, Capstone impact reaches beyond the university’s borders as well.

“I knew from the beginning that capstone was going to be a long, challenging year-long project. I also was anxious about my abilities as team leader to manage my people and ensure everything got done,” said C1C Hayden Richards, capstone team leader. “That being said, we had a great project - working on an operational project for Air Mobility Command and a real Air Force need.”

An example of a project by the Class of 2013 with far-reaching possibilities is modifying the current patient loading systern the Air Force uses to transport patients from one hospital to another. The current system required four airmen to lift and carry a stretcher weighing more than 300 pounds up an aircraft ramp.

Richards led a team of seven students through more than 2,000 hours of work in planning and designing a modified system housed in Jacks Valley’s Field Engineering Readiness Lab. Their mission is to conduct design exploration; prototype design construction, analysis, and testing; and present potential replacement PLS design concepts.

“Our capstone was really two in one,” Richards said. “Not only were we responsible for doing a lot of background research and customer needs analysis and analysis of alternatives, once we decided on a specific path for our project we needed to go through the entire prototype design, fabrication, analysis, and test cycle.”

Richards and assistant team leader C1C Jenna Whetsel were joined by CICs Tyler Ogren, Fred Rath, Brad Phelen, Matt Heien and Jared Rillings. The group received $30,000 from Air Force Air Mobility Command to design, test and evaluate a modified loading system that will ease the transportation to and from aircrafts for both the patient and the caregiver. They presented the final product to AMC May 3.

“This took a lot of time and was a lot of work throughout the entire year,” Richards said. “It was very rewarding to be able to present our product to the actual flight medics and staff who would be using the operational system in addition to the leadership of the 375 th Air Evacuation Squadron at Scott AFB, IL. We hope to eventually see our system in operational use in the Air Force.”

Another Capstone run out of the Management Department extended from Fall 2012 to Spring 2013. It challenged five cadets who are avid SCUBA divers to solving the problem of ineffective communication underwater that many divers experience today. The team sought to find an affordable solution for divers of any skill level. It took several months of intensive work for a prototype to materialize.

“This Project Appealed to me because of its direct correlation to the actual business world,” said C1C Ethan Vokes. (Continued on p. 44)

(from p. 43) “Innovation is essentially a state of mind that allows entrepreneurs to take ideas that they have and be able to transfer them directly into new businesses. Although the business side of the equation is not the most prevalent to Air Force officers, the mental pipeline that is built based around innovation allows future officers to always be looking for improvements and efficiency in the Air Force structure.”

Vokes and his team developed “The Titan,” a device that allows users to communicate underwater via text messaging using their own smartphone. SCUBA certified since age 13. the senior drew upon his diving experience to identify a market need.

In North Dakota they won $ second place, beating out graduate level students from schools including Johns Hopkins and Texas Christian University for a t $2,000 prize.

“Although communication systems are widely used in all d three markets today, they are highly un-reliable and limited by their extremely high prices,” i Vokes said. “Because the market already exists, based on our research it is highly probable to assume that if we offer more capabilities for only a fraction of the price our product would be widely accepted.”

Vomit Comet Physics researchers go into zero gravity for science

ABy John VanWinkle, Academy Public Affairs

Academy researchers went into zero gravity this year for science.

C1C Heather Nelson, 2nd Lt Samantha Latch, Trey Quiller, Dr. Michael Dearborn and Dr. Geoff McHarg from the Academy went weightless to test payload deployment of the Academy’s FalconSAT-7 on board a NASA aircraft Aug. 26.

The zero-gravity test experience came courtesy of the NASA Reduced Gravity Research Program andthe coni tract Boeing 727 it uses for research and l astronaut training. The aircraft lifted off from Houston, and once over its test area, flew a series of parabolic arcs that produce periods of weightlessness at the top of the flight arc for 20 seconds at a time, and stronger gravity at the bottom of the airborne roller coaster ride.

“The Zero-G experience is unlike anything you can possibly describe to someone who has only ever experienced a 1-g environment,” said Cadet Nelson, an astronautical engineering major from Cadet Squadron 16.

“For the first parabolas, they have you lay back on your back so your inner ear has a better chance to adjust. When you hit the 1.8-g pullouts you feel like you are being pushed into the floor of the plane - but not like you are being pressed, more like you sink in farther because you weigh more. When you hit the 0-g portions you just float off the floor, it’s sort of like doing a deadman’s float in a pool,” she added.

Each of the physics department researchers can claim to be the first Academy research team to hit zero gravity while at the Academy, and that’s especially true for Nelson, who is now the first Academy cadet to go into zero-g.

“Everyone Eve been telling is super jealous and tells me that I got the coolest research project,” she said. “I can’t help but agree with them. I have had the amazing opportunity to work with a great team on a cutting edge program and for that I am very thankful!”

That research project was the Air Force Academy’s latest satellite, FalconSAT-7, and its sole payload, and a new optical telescope known as a photon sieve.

“We designed the test to deploy the photon sieve from the satellite,” said Lieutenant Latch. “We have a fairly complicated delivery system for the payload. It starts off in a box, and

once it’s in orbit, we’ll ping to the satellite to make sure it’s alive and then issue the command to deploy the payload.”

Latch, a 2012 Academy graduate, worked on this project as a cadet. Previous research on membrane folding for other projects and her later work the satellite and payload brought her back to the Academy on temporary duty to test the project that she spent countless hours on as a cadet. She will now help process test data and return to her regular duties at the 80th Operations Support Squadron at Sheppard AFB, TX, and awaiting her start date for pilot training.

FalconSAT-7 is designed to deploy an optical telescope in orbit and take images of the sun.

“If we can demonstrate that this works, it opensup the possibility of putting larger telescopes on small satellites,” said McHarg, director of the Academy’s Space Physics and Atmospheric ResearchCenter.

“This is critical for both NASA and the DoD because the resolution of a telescope is dictated by the size of the primary optic. Traditional space-based telescope optics are limited to the size of the host spacecraft. For instance, the Hubble Space Telescope is the size it is because it had to fit inside the Space Shuttle. NASA would havemade a larger Hubble if they would have had a larger spacecraft to launch it.”

The reason FalconSAT-7 can deploy a large telescope is that instead of traditional optics, it uses a new type of optic called a photon sieve. The photon sieve was created and patented by Dr. Geoff Andersen, a researcher at the Air Force Academy’s Laser and Optics Research Center.

“The photon sieve is a thin membrane with billions of tiny holes, each of which causes diffraction,” said McHarg. “The holes are cleverly arranged to add up correctly to make an image. The photon sieve is made from a very thin membrane material much like plastic wrap used in a kitchen that can be rolled into a small space, and stowed into our little spacecraft.”

FalconSAT-7 is indeed small. The entire cubesat is 30 centimeters in depth and 10 centimeters in both length and width. Once in orbit, the satellite will open to release three arms that stretch the photon sieve’smetal membrane in only two seconds, deploying a 10-inch diameter telescope. This will become the world’s first space-based membrane telescope, and it will be used to image the sun.

(secret to building a good canoe with cement lies in aggregate)

4-By C1C Monica Bray

ot many people know there is actually a difference between cement and concrete. Cement is an ingredient in concrete along with water and aggregates. Concrete describes the whole mixture. It also describes what 13 cadets used to make a canoe in which they raced at the Regional American Society of Civil Engineers Competition.

Yes, that’s right a concrete canoe. This is possible because the specific weight or density of the concrete is actually less than the specific weight of water, so the concrete floats; much like how ice floats in a glass of water.

The concrete is made out of lightweight materials such as styrofoam or glass beads that replace the aggregates typically used like sand and pebbles.

“I never thought it would be possible. I thought the only material possible was wood. NowI am educated,” said C4C Pawin Sarobol, an international student from Thailand. “It was fun and very knowledgeable. I think I will do it every year for all four years I am here at USAFA.”

A lot of hard work and extra hours after classes goes into placing a concrete canoe and getting ready to compete. With 10 people it takes about three hours to place and 30 days for concrete to cure to maximum strength.

After the concrete canoe is taken out of the mold it needs to be sanded smooth and painted. The team then took it to Ice Lake for a dunk test. This involves fully submerging the concrete canoe in water to see if it will resurface and float.This is a key aspect of the competition in order to race to ensure that no paddler gets caught under a capsized and sinking concrete canoe.

The competition also consisted of a technical paper, formal presentation, and a display. Overall the team placed ninth out of 13 regional schools. However, it did much better in the races, placing fifth.

“I never thought I’d be paddling a canoe in a competition, let alone a concrete one. Paddling 101 occurred about an hour before we were to compete,” C1C Candita Curcio said. “I managed to figure it out pretty quick.

The cadet team, while new to it, proved to be strong paddlers. It was tough competing against schools whose concrete canoes weighed in at less than 150 pounds though.

“Had our canoe not weighed 400 pounds, we would have definitely won all the races,” Curcio said. “We had some very talented paddlers. The concrete canoe competition is definitely one that I’ll never forget.”

C1C Candita Curcio and C3C Scott Shuman fill the canoe to fully submerge it to see if it will come back to the surface and float. This is a crucial part of the competition called the dunk test. Teams cannot compete in the races if their canoe does not float to the surface after being filled with water. (Photo by C4C Ruari McGreevy)

Cadets not involved in intercollegiate sports also choose from lifetime classes such as SCUBA, golf, softball, volleyball and tennis.

Study Spots

To get that ‘A’ sometimes means getting away

ABy C3C Jeanne Domingo

Aroommate who blasts distracting music, too many distractions in the room or maybe just the need for some quiet time are allincentives for cadets to take their homework out of their home. To search for good study spots takes them throughout the Academy grounds and out in Colorado Springs.

Freshmen’s greatest need is often sleep. The clever ones find creative ways to do so with their doors open - in closets, drawers, on cupboard shelves or the upper floors of McDermott Library. As they become upperclassmen, this ingenuity develops creative ways to get their study on.

“The most challenging things about studying in the dormitories are the constant interruptions and potential for distraction,” said C1C Ryan Fattal. “Personally, I find studying in the library to be much more productive due to the quiet and study focused atmosphere.”

During finals and graded review season, cadets can be found in all corners of the Academy and Colorado Springs. It could be a simple place such as a quiet room in Fairchild with equations written all over the wall; a small table in the local Panera typing away last minute notes with their signature mac n’ cheese within reach; or a

“Most of the time I went to my sponsor’s house to go and study,” said C1C Megan LaVelle. “Being away from the dorms helped me focus on my studies and not be interrupted by friends or squadies coming to visit.”

When asked, cadets answered the reasons to find another place to study is because there were too many distractions around that they could not concentrate, or a roommate who has invested in great speakers, or simply to get out of the Academy and get another outlook on what is in front of them.

No matter what the reasons are, cadets find unique places to get their study on in order to get that last boost in their grades.

Three cadets earn all-conference honors

4-By Athletic Media Relations

Jk ir Force baseball had three players make the 2013 Mountain West All-Conference Baseball Team, an-

§ nounced May 22 by the conference office. Senior Garrett Custons and junior Seth Kline earned first-team honors and junior David Baska earned second-team honors.

The two first-team selections are the most in the Mountain West era for the Falcons and the three selections ties the 2002 and 2003 teams for the most allconference honorees total.

Custons, a catcher/outfielder earned first-team utility honors. He leads the Falcons with a .361 batting average, to go with 74 hits, 22 doubles and 47 runs scored. The Sarasota, FL, native was also recently named one of 15 semifinalists for the Johnny Bench Award, given

to the top catcher in college baseball. Custons is the first player in Falcon baseball history to earn All-Conference three-straight seasons.

Kline earned first-team honors at first base. The Yakima, WA, native batted .387 in conference play ranking fourth in the MW and fourth all-time at Air Force. Kline currently leads the team with 36 RBIs and 25 walks. He is second with 64 hits and 16 doubles. It is Kline’s second All-Conference honor.

Baska earned second-team outfielder honors. In a breakout season, Baska led the Falcons with six home runs and leads the conference with 18 hit by pitches. The Overland Park, KA, native hit five home runs and batted .324 in conference play. Last year as a sophomore, Baska had just five base hits total for the season.

The Falcons were also named to the 2013 Madness Baseball Mountain West All-Conference Teams, announced by College Sports Madness. Custons earned first-team honors, while Kline and Baska earned second team honors.

Seeded sixth in the conference. Air Force baseball dropped its opener, 15-6, ballgame to thirdseeded San Diego State in the first game of the 2013 Mountain West Baseball Championship May 22. The Falcons were eliminated the next day after falling 6-4 to Fresno State. The Falcons wrap up 2013 with a 15-39 record.

Falcons nearly claim national team title

^-By C3C Roy Taylor

ir Force boxing, sporting many new faces along with a strong core of returning boxers, accepted the challenge of winning back to back team titles this season for the first time since 2004.

The road to the national tournament began in early October with a highly contested home match against the U.S. Naval Academy. The card included several tough and exciting bouts and was tied at 4-4 when Air Force team Andrew Pineda sealed the Falcons’ victory with a decision over his opponent.

The rest of the season followed suit as Air Force maintained winning records in Detroit, New York, Seattle and Reno during the regular season.

In the upper boxing room, under bright lights and the slogan, “Tough Times Don’t Last, Tough People Do,’’ dozens of cadets competed in Friday Night Fights in preparation for the Wing Open. This year included six nights of competitive cadet versus cadet boxing where many newcomers were given opportunities to showcase their ^boxing talent and to earn a higher seed in the Wing Open bracket.

Freshman, Gytenis Borusas, recalls one of his first FNF’s

against team captain Logan Brandt as the most difficult fight he’s had all year. “I learned a lot from that fight. Logan was very good and I knew I needed to be at least that good,” Borusas said.

The Wing Open Championships showcased 10 close fights with six of them resulting in split decisions. The final 12 boxers immediately began training to compete in Regional and National tournaments over the course of a month.

The regional tournament was a success as Air Force qualified all 12 boxers for the national tournament at Foxwoods Casino Resort in Connecticut. For returning national champs Pineda and Olawale Lawal Jr., the national tournament was their chance to defend their belts. For others, it was an opportunity to establish themselves as the best intercollegiate boxers in the nation.

Air Force boxing took home two national titles, two runnerups and four third place holders for a total of eight All-Americans and a second place team trophy behind Army.

Lawal, who won his second national title, stated, “The heavyweight championship wasn’t for me. It was for everyone around me who supported me day in and day out,” said Lawal after winning his second national title. “To know that I brought them joy made me happy.”

Spirit Team leads fans through exciting season

^Courtesy USAFA Spirit Team year packed with big events gave the Academy Intercollegiate Spirit Team ample reason to intensify its performances.

“Our team worked really hard this year to grow and start doing harder pyramids to impress the crowd,” said team captain Chelsie Lehmann, Class of 2013. “We wanted to bring something new and exciting to encourage our fans to cheer for all teams so we pulled together, showed immense courage, and looked better all-around as a spirit program.”

Varsity, junior varsity, dance and mascot teams performed for football, basketball and hockey games. The teams worked hard to encourage the crowd to yell and support the Fighting Falcons.

Enjoying away games such as Michigan

at “The Big House” and Wyoming, the teams all bonded and created memories from the exciting opportunity to represent the Air Force Academy while away. Making an appearance on the Sunday Night Football Faith Hill theme song and having a chance to perform and eat lunch with Prince Harry are some appearances the team will never forget.

The Spirit Team also does a lot of community service to expand its reach into the community. Many fans love taking pictures with team members and 100s of little girls each year get to come do a bi-annual Cheer Clinic which in the end places them performing on the field just like the Spirit Team they look up to.

“We love representing the Academy in a positive light and encourage the crowd to cheer for our teams! The girls’ clinic is probably our favorite community service activity because we get to work closely with 100s of little girls who look up to us. Encouraging them to cheer on our teams is uplifting,” said Lehmann.

^^omen’s cross country enjoyed one m W m of its best seasons in Academy his-

■ M M tory but a promising men’s team came

■ XI up short in its quest to compete at the Jf w NCAA National Championship Meet.

The women’s team began strong earning its first-ever team title at Woody Green Invitational hosted by the University of Nebraska. The team continued to show improvement at the University of Kansas’ Rim Rock where they finished fourth, behind two nationally-ranked teams.

“We knew the team was looking good after summer training, but we were very excited to see our hard work pay off with our win at Woody Green,” said senior Melissa Fuerst.

The women scored a fourth-place finish at the Mountain West Conference Championships in Las Vegas, NV. They were led by All-Conference performances from captain’s Melissa Fuerst and Jennifer Bremser. Additionally, five women were named Academic All-Conference to include Fuester, Bremser, Kate Kanetzky, Rebecca Esselstein and Adrianna Dong. The women capped their season finishing 11th at Mountain Regionals in Fort Collins, CO, their best finish at this event since 2005.

Men’s cross country had one goal going into the 2012 season: to compete in the NCAA championship race in Louisville, KY. Not since the 2003 team, which earned eighth place at NCAAs, has a Falcon team looked so

strong thanks to exceptional workouts and a depth of talent not seen in years.

The season turned out to be full of ups and downs though. Despite their potential, the Falcons’ season ended at the Mountain Regional meet in Fort Collins, CO. Although Air Force did not make it back to the national race this year, a lot was still gained during the season.

“We might not have placed as high or received as many points as we needed to make it to nationals, but we still gave some really good teams a run for their money and let them know that we will be a force to be reckoned with next year,” said senior Matthew Bell.

Second place at the Mountain West Conference Meet in Las Vegas was followed by a sixth place finish at the Mountain Regional Meet in Fort Collins for the men. Senior Matt Bell paced the seven-member men’s contingent during their first 10K race of the season in Fort Collins.

Clocking a time of 31:12.0 in his first collegiate race at that distance, Bell placed 36th among the 122 runners in the men’s field. He finished just one place ahead of classmate Jeremy Drenckhahn, who finished 37th in a time of 31:19.6. Sophomore Riley Coates made his regional debut with a 47th-place time of 31:38.1, while junior Isaiah Bragg finished 55th in a time of 31:49.3. Fellow junior Lance Wolfsmith rounded out the scoring runners, as he placed 56th with a time of 31:50.4.

Accomplishments this season are expected to serve as a springboard to greater success next year.

he 2012-2013 Air Force M Academy Fencing Team M had a fantastic season. With M 18 returning fencers and 21 W new fencers, it was a great year full of fencing, bonding and competition.

“Bonding as a team helps each individual perform better. When everyone enjoys each other’s company, everyone has more fun and therefore fence better,” said junior, Emerson Woerner.

The season started off with four gold medals at the Nick Toth Open held here Sept. 8-9. The team then started preparing to compete in different regions of the country.

The team earned nine medals at the Amarillo Open in Texas in September.

dual record, send two to NCAAs

The following month saw four more Falcon fencers win gold medals at the New Mexico Open in Santa Fe, NM. Competition amped up after competing in dual meets against other Division I fencing programs such as Notre Dame, Northwestern, Cleveland State, Wayne State, Lawrence, and Detroit. Air Force fencers came home victorious with an overall record of 9-3. The Academy also sent four competitors to World Cup Tournaments where they earned international recognition.

“It feels good because it shows that each individual is working hard to make the team look good,” said sophomore Alex Chiang of the team’s success this year.

Fifteen cadets qualified for the NCAA

Western Regionals in San Diego, CA, March 9. Six fencers finished in the top three and nine finished in the top eight against Stanford, UC San Diego, Caltech, Northwestern and University of Florida fencers.

Two Falcon freshmen were sent to the 2013 NCAA Fencing Championships held in San Antonio, TX, March 21-24. Mary McElwee finished 15th in wornen's foil and James Salem finished 19th in individual men's epee. This was the lirst NCAA trip for both fencers.

“The NCAA’ s was a great experience. I enjoyed competing and can’t wait for next season,” McElwee said. Salem echoed her enthusiasm adding “It was a great experience. I had tons of fun.”

Football plans comeback after bitter 2012 season

A-By C3C Jared Jones

eing a cadet is hard enough. Add being a diviM sion one football player and it’s nearly impossible to survive this place. The days are long M J and the weeks are even longer, but all is worth it when you step off that bus to tens of thousands of screaming college football fans.

“The regular season is the slow process of tearing my body apart one piece at a time that is made worth it every Saturday when we take the field,” said junior offensive lineman Drew Kerber.

Every ounce of sweat and blood that was shed to make it to that moment makes it allworth it. Most of the team has been dreaming of the moment to be a D-l football player since they first strapped up their first pair of cleats. The sacrifices made on a daily basis are much different than that of a “normal” football player. Team members are held at the same standards as cadet from 7 a.m.-noon and have football responsibilities from 1-7 p.m. somewhere in between, they have to find time to keep on top of classes and other training as well. This makes each loss during the "season sting a little more.

Air Force doesn’t expect to “hang in” the big games; it expects to win - win every snap, win every game. It is hard for most to understand how football can make (continued on p. 74)

“Winning the turnover margin is up to the offense, defense and special teams. It’s a three-way street that leads to winning or losing,” said junior defensive back Steffon Batts.

(from p. 73) cadets better men, but ask anyone who has put on that lightning bolt and they will explain how it prepare players for what they see later in life after the gridiron. There are split-second decisions that could potentially win or lose the game and of course, there’s teamwork.

“Winning the turnover margin is up to the offense, defense and special teams. It’s a three-way street that leads to winning or losing,” said junior defensive back Steffon Batts.

It takes everyone on the same page succeeding together and even though later in their careers these Airmen will work with Navy and Army personnel, for now... its war. Losing to those two teams leaves a sour taste for the whole year.

“Losing to Army and Navy was horrible, it will never happen again while we are here,” said sophomore defense lineman Nick Fitzgerald.

Freshman defensive back Dexter Walker boldly backed up his teammate saying, “Next year, the Commander-in-Chiefs Trophy will be returning to the Air Force Academy.”

Falcons continue service academy domination

9-By ClC Andrew Hoops

Jfctie with Army gave Air Force its 16th consecutive f ■team title at the Service Academy Golf Classic in Colts Neck, NJ, this year. The three-day contest ^V couldn’t have been closer as the two teams shot

[f identical scores all three rounds.

Air Force senior Andrew Hoops finished in second place, two strokes back with a threeround total of 219 (+3). Junior Philip Colwell finished third at 220 (+4) while defending champion Kyle Westmoreland placed sixth at 224 (+8).

Another team titlefollowed at the Jackrabbit Invitational in Primm, NV, where the Falcons won by 13 strokes. The team score of 36 under par shattered the school record for best team score in a 54-hole tournament by 12 strokes. Westmoreland led the way firing a career best 65 in the final round.

‘’[Assistant coach Chris Wilson] and I are very proud of the way the team competed all week,” said Air Force head coach George Koury. “The guys have worked hard every day and are starting to Eisenhower’s Blue Course

see the results. Kyle had a solid week and his final round was impressive.”

Other season highlights included a second place at the PING Cougar Classic, hosted by Brigham Young University, in Provo, Utah. The Falcons shot a six-under par 282 in the final round for a three-round total of 15-under par.

Westmoreland tied for second individually at 13-under par after a four-under 68 in the final round. The performance earned him his third nomination for Mountain West Golfer of the Week in 2012-2013.

Senior Andrew Hoops also shot a 68 in the final round and finished in a tie for fifth place. Sophomore Blake Edwards tied for 16th place at one-under par, while junior Phillip Colwell at one stroke back tied for 17th.

A fourth place finish at the Mountain West Conference Championship, Air Force’s best ever, ended the year on a great note in Tuscon, AZ. Air Force posted a three-round total of 23 over par.

Westmoreland again led the Falcons with a three-round total of even-par, good for an eighth-place tie only the second MWC top 10 individual finish since 2005. Junior Philip Colwell followed in 18th place at six over par.

Team finds resolve after captain’s pre-season Achilles injury

►FBy C3C Skyler Awisus

m M en’s gymnastics arguJm JM ably had one of the Mm most up-and-down M U M seasons in the proM w gram’s history this year. Plagued by injury, the team rose up to score the highest team all-around score in Academy history as well as breaking Academy records at the individual event level.

Head Coach Kip Simons, a 1996 Olympian, designed a new pre-season workout plan that pushed the team further than ever before mentally as well as physically.

“It’s allmental. Ninety percent of this sport is being able to concentrate during tough moments,” Junior Tyler Huebner said. “Pre-season prepares us for performing on the road during season.”

The season was fast-approaching when team captain James Okamoto tore his Achilles during practice. With such a dramatic strike to the heart of the team, the fate of the season rested in thehands of the

remaining 15 healthy individuals andthe newly appointed Co-Captain Tory Brown.

Instead of backing down from a challenging season, the team hardened their resolve, put on their short shorts, and started working even harder than before. Plowing through practice after practice in preparation for the imminent competitions, their minds and body were hardened and ready for battle, and their toes were pointed straight toward success.

A few months into season, battered but unafraid, the men moved their way up to a #10 ranking in the NCAA as they headed into USAG National Championships hoping to gain their fourth USAG National Title.

“Bio-physiologically, we have the talent to win it all. We just have to avoid lordotic pikes as we move from the ‘storming’ phase into the ‘performing’ phase of becoming a well-oiled machine,” assistant coach Jeff Robinson said.

The Falcons qualified for the NCAA

Championships as a team for the third consecutive season. They competed in Rec Hall at Pennsylvania State University where they placed within top 10 for the first timein the program’s history—no easy feat considering how difficult high-level athletics becomes at a service academy. The gymnastics grind is no deterrent to freshman Denis Aurelius though.

“I don't care! I love it,” he said. “USAFA is everything I hoped it would be, and doing gymnastics for my country’s honor is just a bonus.”

Alter a successful season of brutal competition, men's gymnastics heads into an offseason motivated to achieve even more in the seasons to come. They head to the gym daily and don the intercollegiate sweats to muster the strength

alls were common with wornM en’s gymnastics this year, but it was the record books, not m mats that took the beatings, f

Among the proudest of achievements was the team setting a new record for the seven-year Doug Day era with a 193.825 combined points, breaking the previous score of 193.3 set in 2011. Then, the women shattered the new record with a 194.7 at the last home meet of the season.

The team also broke the school record for uneven bars by recording a 48.925, which they matched again at USAG National Championships. The previous record was held for 12 years by the 2001 team.

“The upperclassmen have set the bar high, and we look forward to carrying that on for years to come,” said freshman gymnast Shannen Kelly.

Linnaea Hance set a career-high breaking the 39-mark twice in the all-around this season, becoming the first gymnast since 2004 to do so. In addition, every member

of the team competing this season either matched or set career-high scores at least once.

Jennifer Larsen, Katie Hawthorne, and Linnaea Hance all qualified for NCAA Regionals in Columbus, OH, by getting ranked as three of the top five all-around competitors in the region (excluding the top 36 teams in the nation). At the meet, they placed 14th, 15th, and 16th respectively. Jessica Hanner was named the alternate for the meet on balance beam and Alexandra Stych was the alternate for floor.

Jessica Wallander also qualified for NCAA Regionals on vault, bars, and floor by being ranked first on each event (excluding the top 36 teams). At the competition, she tied for 13th on vault. During the conference championships, Wallander broke the school record for vault receiving a score of 9.925. This score matches the top vault score in conference history.

Five Falcons were awarded all-conference honors, tallying 11 awards total. Wallander

took home awards on vault, bars, and floor; Hance received them on uneven bars, beam, and all-around; Hawthornetook a pair on bars and all-around; Larsen marked on vault and all-around; and Hanner stood out on balance beam.

At USAG Nationals, Hance recorded the highest uneven bars score of the meet during both combined sessions of preliminar- i ies with a 9.85. Highlighted by the team’s record-matching score, Hance, Hawthorne, and Hanner all qualified for the individual finals on uneven bars. Stych and Hawthorne qualified for event finals on floor exercise and Wallander qualified for vault. Hawthorne recorded the team’s best individual finals routine with a second place finish on uneven bars. All five Falcons received first team All-American awards, and Jennifer Larsen received a second team award for her allaround performance during preliminaries.

he Air Force hockey team battled through M a roller coaster season as the Falcons m finished the season with a 17-13-7 overall M record and placed second in the Atlantic V Hockey Association with a 15-7-5 mark. The Falcons collected their seventh-consecutive winning season, a new school record.

After a rough start, the Falcons went 14-4-4 in the final 18 regular-season games. AFA swept 13th-ranked Niagara in the final regular-season series at home, the highest-ranked team the Falcons have ever swept. Entering the 2012-2013 campaign, Air Force was one ofjust seven schools in the nation to compete in the NCAA Tournament five of the last six years (2007, 2008, 2009, 2011 and 2012). Unfortunately, that run came to end this year at the hands of the Canisius Golden Griffins in the Atlantic Hockey Association Tournament here March 16.

Canisius scored the game-winning goal 1:08 into overtime as seventh-seeded Canisius beat second-seeded Air Force, 4-3, in game two of the best-of-three quarterfinal series.

“I thought we played a terrific game,’' head coach Frank Serratore said. “We spotted them a goal, but came back to lead 3-1. Our penalty kill was very good and we scored a power-play goal. We also had 53 shots.”

In the first minute of overtime, Air Force attempted to clear the puck from its own zone but McKellar knocked

end abruptly

it down at the blue line. His shot from the top of the left circlehit an Air Force defenseman and the puck popped high into the air. Without anyone seeing the puck, it landed over the shoulder of Jason Torf and onto the back of his leg. The puck then rolled off his leg and into the net for the game-winner at 1:08. McKellar’s unassisted goal ended Air Force’s season.

Air Force outshot

Canisius, 53-25, in the game. AFA was 1 -for-6 on the power play while Canisius was 0-for-3. Torf made 21 saves while Tony Capobianco made 50 for the Griffs.

“The difference in the game was Capobianco. He was great,” Serratore said. “This game certainly didn’t go the way it was supposed to go for us. I give Canisius credit, they fought back to tie the game and then they got the bounce in overtime.

Stephen Carew - Vic Heyliger award: voted on by the team, this is the cornerstone of Air Force hockey. It is awarded to the player whose dedication, character, leadership and work ethic exemplifies Falcon hockey and is named after the Academy’s first hockey coach.

Falcons end strong with win, nearly upset top-ranked teams

earn captain Erik Smith tallied a career-best four goals to lead the Air Force lacrosse team to a 16-12 victory over East Coast Athletic Conference rival Hobart April 27 at Falcon Stadium.

Mike Crampton and Ryland De Pol both added hat tricks for the Falcons, while sophomore Keith Dreyer dished out a personal-best five assists. Senior Austin Fox playing in his final game for the Falcons, recorded 14 saves, including eight in the opening half.

With the win Air Force moved to 7-7 for the year and 2-5 in conference, a modest record that hides two tremendous nearwins. The Falcons nearly upset #12 Ohio State falling 10-9 in a home game April 20. On the road against #4 Denver, the Pioneers needed overtime to edge the Falcons 11-10 March 26. Denver and Ohio State reached the final four and elite eight of the NCAA Division I playoffs.

“I’m really happy that our seniors were able to end their careers with a win,” said Air Force head coach Eric Seremet. “They’ve been through a lot of challenges and a lot of adversity over the past four years, but they’ve helped this program get to a better place than when they came in. The game today was all about playing for our seniors.”

“I was really pleased with the way (defenseman) f Matt Puleo played today,” added Seremet. “He did a great job stopping [Hobart’s Alex] Love, who is undoubtedly one of the top attackmen in our league.”

Four Air Force players were honored by the ECAC La-

crosse League in their annual awards, as voted on by the league’s coaches. Crampton, Smith and Bryan Price were all named second-team all-conference honorees, while freshman Alex Warden was named to the league’s all-rookie team.

Crampton also earned the team most valuable player award. He led the Falcons with 53 points, including a team-best 34 goals. His 34 goals are the most in a single season for an Air Force player since 1998, while his 53 points are the most for a Falcon since 1994.

Crampton, who registered hat tricks in five of Air Force’s last six games and eight total on the season, ranks among the nation’s leaders in both points per game and goals per game. He also reached the 100-point career plateau with his personal-best 11 points in a win at Mercer, becoming just the fifth Air Force player in the past 20 years to reach the mark and just the second to do so as a junior.

Smith was tabbed the team’s offensive MVP, while Puleo was named the defensive MVP.

Smith had a standout season for the Falcons finishing the year with 29 points, including a career-best 21 goals. The doeverything midfielder scored three man-up goals on the season, took nearly half of the Falcons’ face-offs and earned the team’s Ground Ball Award for the third-straight year, picking up 57 ground balls on the season.

Meanwhile, Puleo was an anchor for the Falcons’ defense in his third year as a starting close defenseman. Stepping into the shoes of four-year all-conference defender Dayton Gilbreath, Puleo recorded 23 ground balls on the year and ranked second on the team with 17 caused turnovers.

Falcons hoist conference championship trophy

4-By ClC Kevin Rossillon

ophomore Scott McGilli® * vray stepped up to take the deciding penalty kick for ^ Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Conference Championship against No. 9 New Mexico trying to ignore the gravity of the situation.

“I was just focused on keeping the ball low and not hitting it over like the last kid [from New Mexico],” said McGillivray.

Stepping forward, McGillivray calmly buried the ball into the lower right corner, setting off the celebration as the Falcons captured their first-ever conference championship at the NCAA Division I level and first NCAA tournament appearance since 1997.

The road to the conference title was anything but smooth for the Falcons. Seeded third in the tournament, the Falcons easily disposed of sixth seeded UNLV 4-2, setting up a match-up with second-seeded Cal State Bakersfield. After giving up a goal in the first half, the Falcons desperately needed an equalizer. This came when senior Paddie

Compton took a pass from senior captain Kevin Durr and blasted a shot from 25 yards out into the bottom right comer of the goal. The game went to double overtime beforesenior Conor Henry turned and sent a through ball to junior Brian Klazura who roofed a shot passed the keeper, sending the Falcons to the final.

“I got the ball a step ahead of the defender, took a touch towards goal, looked up and ended up toe-poking it above the keeper’s head,” said Klazura. “Then I yelled as I ran to the sidelines to celebrate.”

“They were the only really good team we could beat, because we knew how they played,” said senior captain Eric Tise.

Still, in front of 1,052 active Lobo faithful, New Mexico was able to notch the go-ahead goal in the first half of the title match. With time running out in the game, a failed clearance bounced out to Durr with 16 seconds left.

“I sent in a free kick, and I thought it would be the last chance in the game,” said Durr. “But somehow the ball bounced back out to me and I took a chance.”

Durr’s game-saving volley sent the game to overtime, and following 20 minutes of scoreless play, four Falcon seniors made their penalty kicks and one Lobo missed, putting McGillivray in prime position.

“Our seniors were the core of the team,” said McGillivray. “We had a really mature group and would not have made it as far as we did without them.”

The Falcons advanced to the NCAA tournament to play the University of Washington Huskies in Seattle, WA, on a muddy, uneven field. In rough conditions, the Falcons dropped a tight 1 -0 game to the Huskies despite a free kick from Durr which reverberated off the cross bar.

“Looking back on the season, we can definitely be proud of ourselves,” said Durr. “We made a spectacular run at the end and despite losing in the first round [ol the NCAAs], we all know we achieved something special.”

ir Force senior Kevin Durr was drafted by the Seattle Sounders FC Jan. 22 in the 2013 Major League Soccer Supplemental Draft. Durr was the 16th selection of the first round.

“I was obviously thrilled to get drafted,” Durr said. “After the Seattle Sounders combine, they expressed their interest and discussed the option of drafting me early in the Supplemental Draft. To be honest, I did not expect it until I actually heard my name being called out. It was a very exciting moment.”

The Supplemental Draft consists of four rounds, which are called Rounds 1 through 4, but in many ways it is rounds 3 through 6 of the MLS SuperDraft, held one week prior in Indianapolis, IN. The Supplemental Draft allows for only

players who have finished their college eligibility and been nominated by an MLS club, as well as youth internationals made available by MLS.

Durr, a two-time all-West Region selection, led the Falcons to their first appearance in the NCAA Tournament since 1997 by pacing the team in scoring with 15 points. He posted teamhighs of five goals and five assists and finished third in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation in total shots with 59.

Durr was also named first-team all-conference and the Most Valuable Player of the MPSF tournament this season.

“There is certainly a chance to play professional soccer, however there are several limiting factors,” Durr said.

“As of now, I am trying to make it out to Seattle as much as much as I can, to

train and play whenever possible. It is tough to say what the future holds, besides my commitment in the Air Force, I will try to keep my options open and hope for the best.

The last Air Force player drafted by the MLS was Daniel Wasson in the fourth round of the supplemental draft in 2006. Wasson transferred to the University of Tulsa following his sophomore year at the Academy. The last Academy graduate to be selected was Rich Cullen, who was selected in the sixth round of the 2000 draft by the Colorado Rapids.

Davis finished overall in the 400 IM with a time of 4:13.43 and third in the 200 IM with a time of 1:59.15.

“Breaking the records felt unreal. I definitely did not go into the meet with

that as a specific goal in mind. But once I got the first one Wednesday night it got me fired up for the rest of the meet,” Davis said. “I’m so excited for how I did this year and can’t wait until conference next February to try to improve even more. It feels amazing doing so well in events I wasn’t expecting to - the 100 and 200 free - because it means that my training is paying off even more than I thought it was going to.”

he future of women’s diving looks bright as freshmen Jessica Horn and Summer Getty along with sophomores Jeannie Nolan and Lainie Long qualified for the Mountain West Conference Championship meet in San Antonio, TX, this season.

Horn ended in seventh on the one-meter consolation round (230.91 points), 25th on three-meter (211.05) and 28th on the platform event (135.99).

Getty finished 30th on one-meter (180.69), 30th on three-meter (199.80) and 20th on the platform event (174.03).

Nolan wasn't far behind at 32nd on one-meter (204.00) and 22nd on three-meter (233.10). The sophomore’s inspiration for working hard through every practice and into every competition came from the commitment the Lady Falcons gave over nine months’ worth of energy and effort.

“Our USAFA Swim and Dive team is full of girls who always give their all and never give up. It makes being on this team worthwhile," Nolan said, (continued on p. 98)

SWIMMING

(from p. 96) This season the Falcons also had several other swimmers crack the school top 10 list. Senior Katrina Castellanos finished second in the 100 breaststroke, third in the 200 breaststroke, and fourth in the 200 IM. Freshman Madelyn Huttner is third in the 200 IM and fourth in the 400 IM.

For Long, the element of teamwork played a vital role in the amount of improvement and success that was achieved. “As a team, I think we were a cohesive group that rooted each other on; all while maintaining a level of competitiveness,” she said.

Junior team captain, Rachel Kennedy, was extremely impressed with how the women’s team developed throughout the season from where they began in August.

“It’s rough coming out of the summer break and hitting the diving boards right away. But all of us persevered and jumped right into training and encouraged one another to grow stronger mentally and physically to learn new dives,” Kennedy said. “I would say our enthusiasm as a team is one of our major strengths and it makes me excited to imagine what all of us ladies havein store to be competitive

for next year.”

Men find success against intentionally

4-By C2C Ali Rizvi

Jfe tough schedule to drive improvement for a talented team was the plan for men’s tennis in 2013-2014 and the f f Falcons, especially Lance Wilhelm, rose to the challenge.

“When I built this schedule two years ago, I knew we would have one of our strongest teams in years in terms of talent, so I wanted to challenge them,” said Head Coach Dan Oosterhous. “Given the strength of our schedule, having another 10-win season was a big milestone for us.”

The Falcons worked hard through a short fall season. Highlighting the early year was a semi-final finish by Wilhelm at the Las Vegas regional tournament. The senior Falcon’s co-captain suffered a three-set loss to the top seed and eventual champion.

Spring rolled around bringing the challenging team schedule where the cadets went 11-14.

“Our losses came against very good

Lance Wilhelm teams and every team except one that we fell to was nationally ranked during the season, making this the toughest Air Force tennis schedule in years,” Ossterhous said. “They responded well, beating five regional teams, the most matches we’ve won in our region in six years. We also had wins over two teams that made the NCAA tournament.”

Two Falcons received All-Conference selection, Wilhelm and sophomore Grant Taylor.

Wilhelm wrapped up one of the most

hard schedule

successful careers in program history becoming only the second player to win the team most valuable player award all four years. He was Mountain Region Senior of the Year and finished the season ranked #82 (of more than 2,500) in the division I singles.

“We finished the year playing our best tennis in a loss at the Mountain West Conference tourney to the eventual and defending champs Boise State,” Oosterhous said. “I expect even more from this team as we will have very experienced five seniors on the roster. Keep an eye out for what these guys do next year.”

^^^^fcenior Hannah Dake held the Falcons’ K fate in her hands after three hours of intense match play against the Colorado ^ Buffaloes in Air Force women’s tennis season opener. At 6-6 in the third set on Court 2, Dake felt pressure but also excitement as her teammates cheered her on from the sidelines. A win would be the first time in 13 years the Falcons defeated the University of Colorado at Boulder.

Taking deep breaths between each point, Dake and her opponent fought their hardest in the tiebreaker. The Falcon came up with an amazing overhead and a volley to win the third set and match, 6-4,3-6, 7-6(5), starting Air Force off in the 2012-2013 season. The team started strong in conference play as well with a dominating 6-1 victory over Colorado State University as Well.

Sophomore Natasha Rizvi led the team in singles with an outstanding 22-12 record at the #4 position. In doubles, the team of seniors MelissaCecil and Dake at the #1 position, as well as the team of senior Christine Molina and Rizvi at the #2 position, both accumulated

strong finish by seniors

more 20 wins throughout the year. By the end of the season, the Falconsachieved a winning record of 13-11, their fourth consecutive year to do so.

All three seniors received all-conference honors at the Mountain West Conference tournament, Cecil and Dake for doubles and Molina in singles.

Dake ended the season winning both the regional and national ITA Arthur Ashe Leadership and Sportsmanship Award for the 2012-2013 Academic Year. This award, founded in 1982, recognizes players who have exhibited outstanding sportsmanship and leadership as well as scholastic, extracurricular and tennis achievements.

As co-captain of the women’s tennis team, Dake stood out not only on the court, but also led the team in several community service events. She selflessly volunteered whenever she had free time from studying and her job as the Group 4 Peer.

Leadership from all three seniors helped the team to develop a close-knit mentality.

“I think what sets us apart from other teams is that we are like sisters,” Rizvi said. “We have that ability to be honest with each other and support each other on and off the court.”

Men dominate, defend title

*By C3C Joey Uhle

raveling to Las Vegas to take on the top teams in the Mountain West, men’s track and field defended its conference title, becoming the first team in Academy history to do so.

Highlighted by three individual event titles, the men conquered Colorado State by an astounding 45 points. Amidst a tough field, the women fought valiantly to score 51 points behind champions San Diego State (182).

With the temperature soaring above 90 degrees, the men finished the last day of the competition strong. Sophomore Zach Perkins, repeating his success in the 1,500 meter run (3:44.38) from the indoor season, defended his title on the outdoor track, followed by freshman Patrick Corona and junior Jake Hawkins placing fifth and sixth respectively.

Senior Anthony Delgado led the field in the 400 meter followed by teammate David Ptacek with times of 47.76 and 48.39 seconds, respectively.

“Winning the 1,500 was great but winning a conference title was better; winning as a team always beats out an individual effort,” Perkins said.

Senior Cale Simmons led the pole vault squad in the Academy’s most successful pole vault competition to date, claiming five of the top seven places and 30 points overall. Cale cleared a height of 18’0.5”, while twin brother Rob Simmons

Rebecca Esselstein and Emily Wagemaker, 1,500 meters at conference championships placed second to Cale on misses. Sophomore Joey Uhle marked a clearance of 17’4.5” to place third, junior Cort Rogers (16’4.75”) and freshman Dylan Bell (16'0.75”) finished up the competition placing fifth and seventh respectively.

The women gave their all on the track to score respectably against tough competition. The Falcons were paced by second place finishes from Annette Eichenberger in the 800-meter run (2:07.83) and Jenn Bremser in the 3,000-meter steeple chase (10:38:53). Top scores were also recorded by Elisabeth Mellado with a fourth place finish in the pole vault with a season best of 12’ 11.5”, and in the high jump by Regan Rogers (5’6.5”) and Rachel Heraldwho jumped the same height placing fifth and sixth respectively.

The men and women finished up their season in high hopes, the men looking forward to defending their title a third time and the women adding accolades to their wall. Improvement is on the mind of every academy track athlete as is the determination to win.

“I honestly hate losing more than I like winning. Taking second in indoors just made me want it more for outdoors,” said junior Alex Lindsey.

*^ he 2012 season was a year of “firsts” for Air Force volleyball. The current players had their first road win, and the team’s first since 2003, against the University of Reno. The Falcons also beat the University of Denver in five hard-fought games at home. The match wasn’t an Academy first, but it did ^avenge a 2011 loss to the Pioneers in Denver.

“This season proved to be a great improvement for this i team and this program. It’s exciting to imagine where this beam will be in only a few seasons,” said junior Josalynn [Wise. “With a great coaching staff and hard-working dayers, Air Force volleyball will only grow to be extremely successful.”

The team won more games than previous seasons, how[ever one of their biggest memories as a team is the first [ever Service Academy Challenge played in the Washing[ton D.C. The four-way tournament pitted the Falcons igainst Army, Navy and The Citadel. Air Force head :oach Matt McShane organized the tournament so the service academies would play inside the Pentagon gym "on the weekend closest to 9/11. Several generals came to watch service academy rivals on the court and the team even

got to personally meet with the Chief of Staff of the Air Force Gen Mark A Welsh III.

This was at the very beginning of the season and the team still had some kinks to work out, but Air Force sunk Navy and beat The Citadel. Unfortunately, they lost a closely-contested come-back match in five sets against the Anny.

We came in confident and really there was a passion that the | whole team exuded that was unlike anything I had felt prior to this endeavor.”

This year’s cadets came out hungry, and started the season with a close game and tough loss to top-seeded University of California San Diego. This gave the Falcons hope as they pushed on for success. The Falcons went on to become undefeated at home (6-0) and (1312) on the road.

Doing well in regular season was an accomplishment, but the team wanted more. The team was out for blood and exuded an aura of confidence with determi-

nation. Coach Jeff Heidmous told the team throughout the year it didn’t matter what they did, who they beat, or who they lost to before November and the team took that to heart.

After the first round win against Claremont, the team was feeling confident. The team had come up big with a 14-6 win and made good on the promise to not let Claremont feel like they had any say in the outcome of the game at all.

Loyola Marymount proved to be a stronger opponent. However the Falcons stuck together, stayed strong, and showed what true Air Force endurance is by having the guts to hang on and win that nail-biter of a game 10-9.

“Finally we were up against UC San Diego, a team that had narrowly beaten us just a week prior and again earlier in the season,” said Smithson. “However we had always proven to be a very tough opponent.”

The night before the game, Petar Jackovich put into perspective what was on the line for the team.

“A lot of us could have gone to a big water polo school like USC or UCLA,” he said. “But winning a championship for them is supposed to happen, it loses its meaning, but we have the chance to go down in history and to really make our mark as a team for AF water polo, so let’s do it!” (continued on p. 110)

Utility Player Cruz Smithson

(from p. 109) With steeled resolve, the Falcons proved they had strength and endurance in that game andthe determination to win. With Air Force leading by three with three minutes left, the players could hear the murmur of the spectators that we had won. The team however didn’t stop, not until the last second ticked off the clock, securing a 9-7 win for Air Force.

Air Force ended up winning a championship for the first time in 18 years. Two cadets, Smithson and Josh Stedman, earned with All-American Honors.

The Western Water Polo Association recognized Stedman, Smithson, Mike Fish and Ben Rogers for All-Conference awards. Despite the numerous awards, the 2012 Air Force Water Polo team was more than championship team, it was a brotherhood.

“For me at least, the greatest feeling came when Coach Heidmous showed his belief that the game was over and we had emerged victorious,” said Smithson. “There is no greater feeling than that long deserved win after such a grueling season. We would not have played at a championship level without first playing for each other.”

Wrestling keeps building on program success

O-By C2C Greg Rinker

Jfcir Force wrestling continued exponential growth of suecess in the 2012-2013 season.

[^WThe Falcons finished 11-4

f in dual meets and fourth at the Western Wrestling Conference Regional Tournament. In addition, Josh Martinez, Dylan Hyder, Josh Kreimier and Cole VonOhlen - a freshman, sophomore, junior and senior - qualified for the NCAA Division I Wrestling Nationals. Not since 2008 has the program has guided four wrestlers to nationals.

“It is really fun to see the team come together and do well after always seeing all the hard work that they put in,” VonOhlen said. “Over the past four seasons, it has been awesome to see the team continuously get better and I know that they are going to keep going in the right direction after I leave.”

First time entrants Martinez and Hyder gained valuable experience at the prestigious event. The freshman finished the season 28-11 while Hyder’s record was 21-14. Making his second trip, Kreimier put together a solid run with some vietories and a last second loss to eventual champion Derek St. John of Iowa. He ended the year with a 28-6 ledger.

“Qualifying for the NCAA tournament

is nice but not the end goal,” Kreimier said. “As our team momentum continues it will increase the belief, motivation and intensity every day in the Air Force Wrestling room. [Then we’ll go] beyond just qualifying a few guys [and find] ourselves with a handful of AllAmericans.”

VonOhlen finished in the top 12 for the second year in a row on his fourth consecutive trip to nationals. The senior is the third wrestler in Air Force history to become a four-time NCAA participant, joining Dale Walters (1982) and Scott Frohardt (2002). VonOhlen, 27-4, closes out his career with a 139-26 record, ranking third in program history in career wins. He also set the school record for career falls with 51.

Other notable achievements this year include an eighth place team finish at the respected Southern Scuffle Tournament. Propelled by place winners Martinez, Gabe Martinez and VonOhlen, the Falcons finished 11th at the Las Vegas Invitational against highly-ranked national opponents.

This season also marks the first time Air Force garnered a clear victory over rivaled opponent Northern Iowa winning 19-18.

“We are very proud of the team’s progress this season. Producing quality wins over nationally-ranked opponents, climbing into the national rankings (23rd) as a team and sending four athletes to the NCAA’s are all positive indicators in our program development,” Head Coach Joel Sharratt said. “We have seven of 10 starters returning to next year’s team and only graduate one of our four qualifiers. We believe the bar can and will be raised for our future falconsa new precedence has been set.”

Josh Martinez was named Western Wrestling Conference Freshman of the Year in his premiere campaign.

The team graduates 10 involved and valuable seniors. However, the underclassmen will continue the earned reputation of a hard-working network of men as they continue to train relentlessly in the off-season. Duty will call again for the Falcons to compete, and they will answer with an unshakeable and determined will to win.

Air Force wrestling soaring to new heights

4-By C2C Greg Rinker and C3C Jesse Stafford

Jfc s Air Force wrestling says fWgoodbye to the Class of 2013, none will leave a larger void ^W than the team’s four-year [ § standout, Cole VonOhlen, who features an impressive resume few Falcons in any sport have matched or surpassed.

“[Cole] has the physical talent that allowed him to compete as one of the nation’s very best but his dedication and commitment to excellence in his preparation for competition is what truly set him apart,” Wrestling Head Coach Joel Sharratt said. “He took training and preparation very serious and showed up for his work-outs in the right frame of mind every day.”

VonOhlen raised the bar for grappiers on the most significant statistic in program history. He is the all-time pin leader with 51 career falls. He finished his career third on the list of all-time wins, closing out his senior campaign with 139 career victories in the Blue and Silver. He is also just the third Falcon in program history to be a fourtime NCAA Championship Qualifier. VonOhlen was named wrestling team captain in his junior year, the first underclassman to earn the honor in almost four decades.

“I would have liked some things to turn out differently, particularly at the national tournaments, but I would like to believe that I gave the best effort that I could,” VonOhlen said. “I trained and lived with a desire to reach certain goals, and even though I was not able to reach some of them I am still proud of the effort that I gave.”

Von Ohlen’s final year is memorable for Falcon wrestling with the team going 11-4 in dual meets and four athletes

qualifying for the NCAA Championships in Des Moines, IA.

“I hope the program will remember me as a passionate wrestler and a good team captain. I hope that I conveyed J how much the program and the people / in it meant to me as well as how much / I desired to achieve for this team,” / he said. “As a team captain, I hope / that I set a good example as well as / pushing people to another level. It is / J all a lot to ask for but if they would / remember something like thatI / would be pretty happy.” /

The outbound senior will not / have to look far to see there is a young man who will be chasing many of the all-time Air Force wrestling records. Freshman Josh Martinez has picked up right where VonOhlen left the bar as a freshman in 2010-11.

“It's always nice to be compared to one of the greats of our program’s history. There are definitely things Cole does and did that I want to do in my career,” the freshman said.

Martinez, like VonOhlen, was selected as the Western Wrestling Conference Freshmen of the Year and enjoyed a torrent of success in his first season as a Falcon wrestler. In his initial campaign, Martinez amassed 28 wins, not far off

VonOhlen’s mark of 31 victories as a freshman. Meanwhile, the quality of the 2012-13 schedule allowed Martinez to climb to a ranking of eighth in the nation, compared to a firstseason ranking of 11th for VonOhlen.

“There are definitely expectations that come with being compared to him, but I have goals of my own that I want to accomplish. He left big shoes to fill for sure, but I have no problem stepping into them and starting to run,” Martinez said.

The heir apparent has already taken

his first step towards becoming a fourtime NCAA Championship Qualifier, as he earned his first trip at 125 pounds this season. Martinez also earned the opportunity to become just the second Falcon wrestler to claim four All-Academy Championships, when he successfully took home his first championship in West Point, NY, this February.

“The parallels of these two outstanding Falcon wrestlers are a testament to

the effort our team and staff have put forward in training and developing our current talent pool while still striving to attract future Leaders of Character for our Air Force,” Coach Sharratt said. “We have ambitious goals for all our team members and these two young men have helped demonstrate how high we can set that bar.”

The young cadets in today’s program have committed to following in the footsteps of their predecessors; men like NCAA champion Don Henderson, three-time All-American Terry Isaacson and NCAA runner-up and two-time All-American Kevin Hoy. When they are added up. Falcons have reached the podium 11 times, final dance three times and the championship once.

Martinez knows he has a long way to go to earn a spot with those names. It starts with “putting in the work now.” he said.

“I’ve been to the national tournament; I have been dead tired in overtime matches. I have beaten all-Americans. I know what it takes to be on the podium the next three years. It’s just a matter of getting it done.”

Lindeman voted coach ofyear

After leading the Falcons to their second straight outdoor conference title, Air Force track and field head coach Ralph Lindeman was selected by his peers as the Mountain West Men’s Coach of the Year at the conelusion of the MW Championships in Las Vegas, NV.

Under the direction of Lindeman and his coaching staff, the men easily defended their conference title May 11 as they bettered the field by 45 points and saw every member of the 28-man travel party score at least one of the team’s 210 total points. Air Force collected three individual event titles, 11 runner-up placements and eight third-place finishes.

It is the fourth outdoor coaching award for Lindeman, who also claimed the honor in 2001, 2003 and 2012. The Falcons’ mentor has alsoearned the MW Indoor Coach of the Year award on five occasions (2001,2004, 2008, 2011,2012), as well as awards as the WAC Indoor Coach of the Year (1995) and the WAC Cross Country Coach of the Year (1991). He was also honored as the 1989 Big West Coach of the Year while at Long Beach State. With its back-to-backtitles at the MW Outdoor Championships, the track and field team has now claimed three of the five conference titles held by all Academy sports, joining the 2003 cross country team and the 2004 men’s basketball team.

Pole vault continues collegiate dominance

4-By Valerie Perkins, Athletic Media Relations

t’s easy to see the similarities between pole vaulters at the Air Force Academy and pilots. The same adrenaline-fueled cadet-athletes who voluntarily invert themselves over 18 feet in the air on a fiberglass pole are usually the same ones who want to be behind the controls of a state-of-theart aircraft.

Success is nothing new for the Falcons’ pole vault program.

Over the last six years, the Falcons have become a force in the Mountain West, claiming six conference titles, 18 allconferenceselections and 39 scoring finishes.

However, Air Force truly exploded onto the scene last year, as an indoor title by senior Cale Simmons started a stretch of four straight Mountain West championship titles for Academy vaulters. In addition, the Falcons have claimed at least five of the eight scoring finishes during each of the last four

meets with those points helping Air Force secure two of its first three team titles.

Simmons, who set the MW Outdoor Championship-meet record of 18’ l 3A”as a junior, added his name to the top of the Mountain West’s all-time list in 2013, when he cleared an Academy- and conference-leading mark of 18’43A” at the Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays.

Simmons was one of two Falcons to clear 18-feet at that meet, as sophomore Joey Uhle, the 2013 indoor conference champion, vaulted into second on the Academy and Mountain West’s all-time listwith an 18’ 1” clearance.

The Falcons added another 18-foot vaulter to its roster at the Mountain West Outdoor Championships this season, as senior Rob Simmons cleared 18’0V2” to take second.

In addition to the program’s success at the conference level, Air Force captured three All-America certificates in 2013. Uhle, who won the NCAA Outdoor Preliminary, claimed second-team status at both the indoor and outdoor NCAA Championship meets; while (Cale) Simmons picked up second-team honors at the indoor meet (injury forced him from competing at the outdoor meet).

Cadets scramble up

>FBy C1C Patrick Waters

The competitive sport climbing team is a select group of cadets who compete and represent the Academy in climbing competitions across the state and region. In this, its third year, the team competed in more than 10 competitions in the American Boulder Series and Collegiate Climbing Series including a competition against Army. The team even hosted a climbing competition of its own.

“Hosting our own competition was tough because we had to work over 100s weekend, but we did great and USAFA was represented really well,” said C1C Nick Lazos, the club’s cadet-in-charge.

Many people ask, “How can climbing be competitive?”

C3C Austin Cooner explains; “In a typicalcompetition, climbers have three hours to climb as many routes as they can. Each route has a point value based on the difficulty. At the end of the competition, the five highest scoring routes that the climber completed are then added up

indoor/outdoor cliffs

and ranked against everyone else’s scores.”

Many USAFA climbers finished at the top of their category this year and they were very successful against the other colleges in the area as well.

This year was really unique for the team because for the first time, they actually practiced how to fall with some of the more generous gymnastics coaches. Safe falling technique builds confidence while climbing.

“We definitely got some funny looks from the gymnastics team,” said C3C Josh Jordan.

Not limited to indoor climbing, members of the team have been finding, establishing, and setting new outdoor climbing routes on the foothills of Eagle’s Peak. Some rock routes have interesting names like those on the “Exemplar Wall” are named after recent class year exemplars. As the team establishes harder routes, look for the “Punishment Wall” where you might be able to climb “Tours,” “Confinements,” or even top-out on “Form-10.”

Air Force charge claims paintball D-Day victory

>>By C1C Samuel Rieh

Academy cadets led the charge at Normandy, France, in a paintball reenactment of the D-Day invasion held in Castle Rock, CO, in September.

The Paintball Club’s Scenario Team competed in the “Band of Brothers” simulation game which attracted 250 players and featured two paintball tanks. Participants were divided into German and American forces.

The Air Force team was assigned to the American Army and made up the spearhead of the force. Forty cadets represented the Academy well leading 80 other American troops in a charge to victory.

“There is nothing quite like the sound of 250 paintball guns firing, and tons of paint flying

Noted for its aggressiveness and skill, the Air Force team drove German players out of their defensive positions and held the town throughout the epic eight-hour game. Air Force was earned the Most Valuable Team award as well several sportsmanship awards.

The scenario team participates in three of these scenario games per year. Also a part of the club, the speedball competition team travels across the country three times a year playing in the National Collegiate Paintball Association.

“It may not be the biggest or most well-known club at USAFA but it has definitely changed my cadet experience for the better,” said C3C Jeff Hill. “[Plus there is] over your head... it really makes it feel real!’ C2C Spencer Jacobson. said the camaraderie developed by the uniqueness of being shot at.”

“Hey! You just heard Dinosaur Junior with Watch the Corners right here on ninety-seven-seven, K-A-F-A. Thanks for listening. I know it’s early, five o-clock in the morning,” chirps the “Morning Kick Start” host in voice that may be too enthusiastic for the predawn hour.

This is the Academy’s cadet radio station. Specializing in alternative and indie music from the ’90s and forward, the studio broadcasts 24/7 in Colorado Springs and around the world via the internet.

“Having a show on KAFA is a really unique and rewarding experience. Knowing that you have the microphone and someone out there is listening to you is really cool,” said Ian Butler, KAFA music director. “It gives us a chance to tell people out in the springs and all over the world about the Academy and introduce them to some great music.”

This year saw the station host several up and coming local bands as well such as Hydrogen Skyline, Atlas Genius and The Epilogues. The later even performed in Mitchell Hall where cadets were the first to hear concert performances from the band's latest CD.

“Meeting The Epilogues was wicked cool to say the least,” said disc jockey Joe “Boston Joe” Bomar. “I’ve never met the #1 fastest growing band in the county

(according to MTV and VH1) before, so I admit, I may havehad the jitters. But they were really cool guys who just liked to play awesome music, made it a tons of fun for me and all of us here at the station.”

Although it can be a lot of work, most cadets quickly fall in love with the station. They realize how it helps them to become confident and effective public speakers.

“At other college radio stations, they probably wouldn’t have let me be on air since freshman year,” said Lauren Linscott, a junior on the staff who hopes for a job in public affairs.

Music fills the frequency most of the time, but the station also concentrates on what makes it uniquecadets. Many listeners tune in to hear stories about the daily life of a cadet with basic training updates, Falcon sports results and other DJ stories.

“It’s a great way to share the Academy’s story,” said station manager Dave West. “It’s a way to do community outreach from the Academy to the World.”

It’s not all about communication skills and reaching out to the world though. KAFA is a place where cadets can share a love of music with peers and over the radio.

Friends are found on staff as favorite bands are shared and concert road trips are planned. And where else is there an opportunity to be a DJ?

Cadets have hands full with mascot falcons

^Courtesy Academy Falconry Team

The Academy’s raptor family grew by two this year with the addition of gyr-hybrids Blaze and Arris.

Now 13-strong, the birds outnumber the handlers of the Academy’s Falconry Team. For most of the year, the club has 12 active cadets, four each from the top three classes. After Recognition, four new members are chosen from the rising freshmen to replace departing seniors.

“The seniors definitely left their mark as a fun, easy-going class. They will be remembered for livening practice time, capable of doing big events such as Good Morning America, and representing our program overseas in the Middle East,” said next year’s cadet in charge, Ernesto Guerrero.

“The freshmen have been impressive because of their servant attitude. They are always on time and are willing to work hard. Their role on the team is indispensable and highly appreciated.”

Both new falcons, though unrelated, were born in May 2012 and arrived here just under 2 months old.

Blaze, a male, arrived during the Waldo Canyon Fire earning his name for obvious reasons. Due to the chaos caused by the disaster, Blaze and the 11 veterans spent several weeks in the filtered, air-conditioned

basement of a former falconer that resides in Colorado Springs.

Arris, the newest female, garnered her name from the call sign of an attempted rescue mission off the coast of Hawaii. Lead pilot Capt. Dave Mason, an Academy grad, gave his life due to a mechanical failure after returning early from his honeymoon to volunteer. Arris’s eager attitude to perform her aerial duties earned her thishonorable name.

“Having a predator as a mascot adds a level of un-predictableness that keeps us and the audience on edge whenever we perform,” said sophomore Akil Romany. “The fact that we are able to train these wild animals to do what we want 99 percent of the time is just remarkable.”

Daily practice and care of the 13 falcons keeps team members busy. In addition, Falconers supported the football team at home and away games as well as other Academy and community outreach events.

Each spring, five of the birds can be found preparing for breeding season on their nesting ledges so the program is year-round with a constantly rotating set of appearance and support obligations.

Seeing to the daily care and long-term welfare of the Academy’s Falcons requires time and commitment from the 12 cadet falconers.

Powerlifting muscles past strength boundaries

*Courtesy USAFA Powerlifting Team

Testing the limits of human strength is the constant challenge for the Academy Powerlifting Club. The cadet team tests its own limits at the Colorado State Powerlifting Championships, Collegiate Nationals and the U.S. Powerlifting Association Collegiate National Championships.

Although the USAFA group is small compared to many other teams at Nationals, its members are eager to prove they can hold their own against the larger teams.

“The key to powerlifting is hard work. Lifting is a sport where you can see your efforts pay off quantitatively, which is extremely satisfying,” said C2C Amy Hoybook, the club’s cadet-in-charge.

Another goal of team members is to break the standing records on the USAFA weight room record board.

“I think it’s a really cool way of tracking your goals. I came in looking at those numbers as impossible to obtain, and now I hold two of the four records for my weight class,” said C2C Nick Hafner, the team’s other

cadet-in-charge. “It’s also awesome having the top

three for cadets as well.”

The cadet weight room shows many feats of strength. The record board is there to recognize anyone, however the powerlifting side of the board is even more special.

“I was always just drawn to the higher numbers on the powerlifting side,” Hafner said. The junior began lifting seriously his senior year in high school and continued at the Academy. “Working out is just a cornerstone of my life now. This club helped push me far beyond what I thought my limits were.”

For now, the small team contents itself with individual goals, but it yearns for days when powerlifting at the Academy was much bigger.

“The team used to be an intercollegiate sport and we held national team championships back in the early 90's,” Hafner said. “It’d be awesome to reach that level again, but for now, I couldn’t be happier with what the club has given me.”

Academy debaters take

9-Courtesy Academy Forensics Team

The question of who would serve America better, Barack Obama or Mitt Romney, took center stage at the annual debate between the Air Force Academy and Colorado College Forensics teams Oct. 29 on the downtown campus in Colorado Springs.

Academy cadets argued in favor of their Commander-In-Chief, President Barack Obama, while the Colorado College debaters argued in favor of Governor Mitt Romney. The schools meet annually to debate a newsworthy topic, an event which typically attracts a large crowd of university-goers and local citizens.

Andrew Gallion and Brian Kruchkow prepared for the debate doing extensive research into the policies and records of both candidates. This is the norm on a team which typically practices three hours a day to maintain their standing in the debate community. This legacy of hard-work goes back to the Academy Forensics Team’s establishment in 1954.

The Colorado College Presidential debate presented cadets with a real-life application of debate skills but

on Colorado College

was also an important tool for reaching people outside the military community.

“Language shapes peoples’ perceptions. In today’s society where communication is so easy and instantaneous, debate helps you become cognizant of what you are saying and how you are saying it,” Gallion said.

The long hours and tough competitions cadets experience during their time on the team create bonds that endure well past graduation. Team members all enjoy the camaraderie and intellectual stimulation that the team provides.

“Experiences like this have bonded us togethereven though we’re arguing with each other, we are both smarter and closer friends for it,” Kruchkow said.

The forensics team competes nationally and internationally in a variety of speech and debate formats. The team serves to “challenge students, improve communication skills, and raise awareness about global problems,” according to Team Captain Reuben Luoma-Overstreet.

Cadets bring national competition to Colorado Springs

4-Courtesy USAFA Taekwondo Team

The Academy Taekwondo Club played host to nearly 400 competitors, including two of its own, at the 2013 Collegiate National Taekwondo Championships April 12-14at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.

“This competition allowed each athlete to test his or her skill based on how diligently the individual worked until this day of reckoning,” said C4C Young Hong, a 2nd degree black belt in the sport and one of the Academy’s entrants.

Hong fell short in a well-fought match against an opponent from Duke University. His teammate C2C Sam Saltamachia defeated her first round opponent from UCDavis but lost her next bout by one point.

“The Taekwondo Collegiate Nationals brought in Duke, Stanford, MIT, and a diversity of other colleges from all over the nation. The club began the process of organizing the event during the 2012 summer upon

being contacted by the National Collegiate Taekwondo Association presidents.

“It was really exciting to fight at this major event and even more so watching and coaching my training partner, Young,” Saltamachia said. “I think we put on a great show of determination and perseverance, and the event has forged a foundation that has motivated us even more as a club and team to continue our dedicated training in the sport.”

Heading the project were MSgt. Vincent Villanueva, club non-commissioned officer in charge, and Saltamachia, the club’s cadet in charge.

“[We] learned how challenging and difficult planning a national event can be. It was a complete suecess because of cadet and community involvement,” Villanueva said. “We have extremely talented athletes who are well respected among their competitors.”

Taekwondo is a martial art combining combat and self-defense techniques in sport fighting. The Academy Taekwondo Club was revamped three yearsago, taking a competitive turn and practicing four times a week rather than strictly traditional and recreational.

The Academy’s Aikido Club strives to be more than just a recreational and fitness outlet for cadets. In the 2012-2013 academic year, the group took this mission to a new level when it began its cadet squadron training program.

Founded in 1985, the Aikido club features regular training with a mix of cadets, Department of Defense civilians and military faculty members. Offering squadron training is the latest example of how the club emphasizes professional development and building mission partner relationships.

“For years, I’ve practiced the art of Aikido in Hawaii and it was a large part of my life. After I came to the Academy, I thought for sure I wouldn’t be able to continue,” said C4C Thomas Goodin, Cadet Squadron 4. “On Club Day, I found out there was an Aikido club here on the hill, and I was ecstatic. The class here is very differentfrom back home, but after a little adjustment I came to enjoy it. Aikido is a skill everyone would benefit from, in self-defense and leadership.”

The new program includes a basic set of selfdefense techniques to be used against armed and unarmed opponents. The curriculum was designed with first time practitioners in mind, so that it could be taught in a one-hour session with a cadet squadron. With the consent of a squadron’s cadet and permanent party leadership, the club now offers this instruction during silver weekends or during afternoon training periods throughout the week.

CS-12 was the first squadron to try the program.

“The Aikido training went very well. We all learned

some pretty neat martial art skills and got to bond as a squad,” said C4C Garrett Ellis. “I would highly recommend doing another Aikido session in the future.”

While the techniques are relatively simple, they are meant to be practical in the self-defense situations that cadets might encounter now or later on Active Duty— from potential robbery attempts or assaults to Green-on-Blue attacks in deployed locations. By redirecting the attacker’s force and momentum, Aikido movements are also effective against larger and stronger opponents.

“The training was a lot of fun and the skills they taught were practical,” said C4C Casey Keilbarth after the first day of training. “Having never heard of Aikido, I found the time to be very educational and informative.” In addition to self-defense, Aikido training involves flexibility, fitness, coordination, self-development, and building relationships with other practitioners. While good for self-defense and building espirit de corps in the squadrons, the cadet squadron training sessions are too brief for cadets to take advantage of these other benefits. However, the club also offers open practices three times a week, even for cadets who are not members.

“Aikido club is a fun, relaxed martial arts club that everybody would enjoy. I really like the club because all the training and fighting movements teach me how to defend myself,” said C4C Pawin Sarobol who joined the club after going through squadron training. “I recommend everyone join the club or at least go to one training [session] because you'll definitely learn something new.”

Mountaineers seek new limits at Ouray Ice Park

►LBy C1C Monica Bray

The Academy’s Mountaineering Club “exists to test the boundaries of our own human frailty,” according to Cadet-in-Charge Patrick Waters. One of the most popular times to do this is during the group’s annual ice climbing trip to Ouray Ice Park in southwest Colorado.

Ouray Ice Park is internationally known for having some of the best ice routes in the world. Cadets literally climb all day until they can’t feel our arms and legs anymore, and then they climb some more.

“[The club] gives cadets the opportunity to push their own personal physical and mental boundaries in beautiful outdoor environments around the state and country,” said Hayden Richards, a 10-year climbing veteran who spent the past four years revamping the organization.

In preparation for Ouray, the club holds seminars to teach belaying techniques, anchor setting and dry tooling with ice axes. This is always nerve racking for first timers but through proper training and the support of other club members, the trip always lives up to the stories and memories of those who went before.

Established in 1955, Mountaineering is one of the

oldest Academy clubs. It is open to any cadet no matter experience; all that is needed is self-motivation and a desire to try something new. The club takes official trips to go rock climbing, camping, mountaineering and hiking. There are no new members and no bad climbers. All are part of one big team where experience is passed down freely.

Through club trips and bi-weekly practices, friendships are formed much like the bonds within basic squadrons. Members become like brothers and sisters and help each other out, whether it is with climbing techniques or homework. This is inevitable given the trust and respect required during life-threatening climbs.

Also key is the training cadets receive at the Academy where high stress is normal. This begins with basic training where cadets learn how to be calm in a terrifying situation and to trust the person standing next to them.

“The mountaineering club is an outlet of fun and adventure for hardy individuals who enjoy pushing their mental and physical limits against nature while still finding time to admire the views,” said ChrisO’Conner. “Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.”

NAVY WEEK

Rivalry week sees lots offun, but Navy has last laugh

>>By C1C Kevin Beauchemin

Some rivalries emerge over decades; some are born in an instant. When Billy Mitchell sent the SMS Ostfriesland to the depths it was instantly clear - Air Force and Navy just weren’t meant to get along. So when the football team from Annapolis rolled into town this year, the atmosphere was electric.

The week culminating in the big game was filled with pranks and good-natured ribbing from both sides. Visiting midshipmen were easy to spot in their risque pirate outfits and assorted costumes, which were happily provided to them by freshmen who had “borrowed" the middies regular uniforms. Mitchell Hall was adorned with taunting posters proclaiming Air Force’s clear supremacy.

Of course, the squids didn’t go down without a fight and even enlisted the aid of their boat-ridden brethren in the Coast Guard to alter the lettering in Falcon Stadium to read Chair Force.

“They tried to hit us with some old jokes, but we definitely got the better of them,’’ said C4C Keenan Andrews after tossing a coastie in the fountains.

When game day arrived, the weather was perfect and the stadium filled with energy. C1C Brandon Stenger

was hoping for a good game. “It’s the last time guys from our class will play Navy; we definitely want to see a win,’’ he said.

As the contest extended into overtime, the crowd was dizzy with anticipation. As the final whistle blew, Air Force surrendered a heart wrenching 28-21 loss after an incredible effort from both sides. But if history holds, the Airmen will be back on top before long. Air Force has 18 Commander-in-Chief Trophy wins, the most of any service academy.

CADET SERVICE LEARNING

Lending hands teaches life lessons to students

►FBy C3C Kayla Gibson

Many things at the Academy seem like common sense but are made mandatory nonetheless, keeping a clean room for example. The same holds true for community service.

Some cadets do it only because they are required to, but for others, the required amount of community service still isn’t enough for them.

“There is such an emphasis on involving cadets in CSL because of its impact upon our growth. [The United States] needs well-roundedofficers and this requires an emphasis upon service to community,” said C1C Max Heineken, Cadet Squadron 8 B-Flight commander. “The ‘L’ [inCSL] represents learning and ties into the Academy’s emphasis on CSL by ensuring cadets learn and grow through service to the local area.”

Cadets are active in the community in a myriad of ways; one of the best being volunteering. Many local church or social organizations benefit from assistance cadets provide in their free time. Cadets get involved through

Academy groups, local organizations, or simply on their own. Many cadet religious groups, such as any of the S.P.I.R.E. groups, volunteer together. Others get involved through outside organizations, such as the Humane Society, and simply carried over vol-

unteer work begun in high school to a local chapter here in Colorado. Lastly, some cadets simply go out on their own and volunteer where they can.

“Having cadets from USAFA take part in CSL not only builds a network of relationships for the community and the Academy, but it gets cadets thinking about helping people out for a greater cause,” said C2C Lisa Halbach, Cadet Group 1 Character NCO.

“Through CSL, cadets learn to see the value in helping others andthe impact they can make in the community.”

This fall, one of the major volunteer efforts that cadets participated in was the clean-up of the Mountain Shadows housing area. This housing development was devastated in last summer’s Waldo Canyon Fire. Cadets turned out en masse to remove debris, clean up the environment and assist families displaced by the fire.

Another large volunteer opportunity came in the form of Alternative Spring Break. This is a community service program where cadets give up their leave during Spring Break in order to go work with Habitat for Humanity. The trip is split up among five different U.S. cities. Roughly 10-15 cadets travel to each city and building houses.

“It’s humbling being able to help people out while at the same time do something fun like build houses. It allows me to give back to the community, experience career fields outside the military, and build lifelong skills,” said C3C Dillon Garvin, who went on Alternative Spring Break trips in 2012 and 2013.

Whether it’s on the local trails or around the country, cadets help themselves grow by lending a hand.

“I chose to work with CSL because I love helping out in the community,” Halbach said. “CSL is more than just putting bullets on paper. It is learning about the people around you and helping them out when they need an extra hand.”

FANATICAL INSTITUTIONAL PRIDE

It's ‘the fever' for which there is no cure

>FBy C1C Lauren Sako

You see it on television commercials and at any major sporting event, professional or not. There are those people in the stands that are going absolutely crazy. Sure, there are people wearing their team’s colors. But it’s those people who paint their faces in those colors, who are decked out in as much of their team’s merchandise as you can physically fit on one person, who lose their voice after every game because they are those types of fans.

You see it in blue and silver at USAF Academy functions, too. Cadets painting their chests at football games,

crowd surfing generals, screaming at the other team during basketball games, and going wild just to support a friend who is on the field. And those last minutes of an intense game when the entire cadet wing is on their feet and screaming.

Whether you’re doing it to be supportive or just because it is fun, it shows your pride. For this Academy, for that team, or for a specific player. It doesn’t matter, because all anyone else sees is the cadet section with fanatical institutional pride and, at the end of a game, every single cadet on their feet, at attention, singing the Third Verse.

OUTDOORS

Colorado makes Academy natural choice for outdoor lovers

There are many reasons why cadets choose to come to the Academy over many other civilian universities. For the most part, these would include the free tuition, desire to be a pilot, or the challenge of a rigorous but rewarding academic curriculum.

However, there is another factor many cadets tookinto consideration when applying that may seem surprising. This factor is Colorado itself, a state that offers a plethora of outdoor recreation opportunities.

“Being in one of the ‘healthiest cities’ coincides with how many opportunities there are for doing stuff outdoors. So naturally cadets, who are fit, take advantage of many of these things,” said C1C Chris Ruiz.

During summer, cadets make a point to be outdoors almost every day drawn to things like hiking, camping, fishing and boating. Hunting and mountain biking are also popular.

Cadets will take a weekend to escape up to one of the many state and national forests in Colorado. For

camping, Estes Park is a favorite destination. Another odd park that attracts a lot of cadet attention is the Great Sand Dunes National Park.

A great resource for getting cadets off of The Hill and into the outdoors isthe many ski resorts. During the winter, they attract cadets for skiing and snowboarding. However, they offer just as many activities when they change gears for the summer. Cadets can go horse-back riding, fly-fishing, mountain biking, kayaking and hiking at any of the major ski resorts during the summer.

Many cadets grow up being active and have carriedthis over to their time at the Academy.

“In New Hampshire, I wrote a backcountry ski guide to my favorite mountain (Mount Washington),” said C3C Tucker Brown. “Since being here I have climbed a few 14ers including Yale, Princeton, Shimano, Gray’s, Torrey’s, Wetterhorn, and Uncompaghre. For the rest of this year I am hoping to ski a few 14ers.”

The hike and ski options available in Colorado will help Brown prepare for his outdoor goal for next winter break, climbing Aconcagua in Argentina.

“Aconcagua is the second highest of the seven summits (the highest peak on each continent), second only to Everest. As long as plans work out, I will be travelling with three other cadets as well as my dad,” he said.

Colorado makes it easy to get out and be active. Most cadets know someone that has camping, fishing, hiking, or biking gear. Just on base there are both Eagle’s Peak and Stanley Canyon, so with Colorado’s 300 days of sunshine, who wouldn’t want to get out?

SQUAD LIFE

Familyatmosphere makes dorms more like home

The cadet squadron is the basis for military training but also in many ways, it’s also the cadets’home. Within each unit’s hallways is where much of the action happens, where cadets work hard and play hard too.

Cadets from Mighty Mach One to the Warhawks normally form a strong sense of pride for their Academy homes; someeven honor the squadron by engraving a unit patch inside their class ring.

“If you have more unit pride, you will enjoy spending time with your squadron. You’ll be happier and more willing to spend time in squad, help others, and may also receive help when you need it,” said C3C Kim Davis of Cadet Squadron 13.

Living in such close proximity, a person could think cadets would all go crazy. In reality, it makes the squadron members even closer. Neighbors get to know each other, share passions and support each other during downfalls, whether it is

mandatory breakfast or the infamous carrier landings.

Squadron commanders, training staff along with morale, welfare and recreation and other key elements have to work together and learn how to motivate each other to get the job done. Active leadership has a strong influence and makes Silver Weekends more enjoyable, football games more fun, and even the daily grind less intense.

“A family atmosphere is a key in making life better in the squadron. If you know the people around you and what is important to them, a squadron can accomplish anything,” said C1C Erik Ritschard, CS-33 commander.

Community service is another key factor within squadrons. It allows cadets to aid others while bonding as a squadron in the process. From serving in soup kitchens to rebuilding trails after the Waldo Canyon Fire, cadets are more than willing to lend a helping hand and it’s often done at the squadron level.

Blood, sweat, tears, cramming sessions, sleep deprivation, panic attacks; late night talks & laughs, going to CFA about a million times, playing monopoly in the dark, staring at our hard-earned rings with a goofy smile—thanks to those who helped me get through it all. It’s paid off and culminates to this. just hope I don’t disappoint. Here we go...

For ye see your calling... but God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty.

You have some advantages that others don’t have. And others have advantages that you don’t have. That’s just the way it is. We each have our own burdens and our own joys, from both of which we can learn and grow. When we accept the fact that life is not fair, then we begin to make it great.

Thank you Mom, Dad, Bob and Dan for all of the love and support over the past four years; whether it pertained to the Academy or to my daring adventures. “The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. shall live them.”

Thank you to all my family and friends who helped me succeed the past 4 years, your love and support carried me further than you knew. My role model once told me, “the man on top of the mountain did not fall there.”

Change is inevitable, except when it isn’t

^By C1C Sierra Taylor

As cadets currently attending the United States Air Force Academy, we hold the traditions, memories, heritage, and lifestyle of our school near and dear to our hearts. Part of what makes our school special is the appreciation and admiration for those who came before us, and to show we are sue-

cessfully following in our heroes’ footsteps, we have had a flashback to past eras. From the early 50’s to now, cadets attending USAFA have helped to re-captivate some of the heritage unique to our Academy. Whether it be folding clothes for a SAMI or partying hard at Haps with squadron mates, our USAFA heritage is alive and well.

(Above) An enlisted member greets members of the Academy’s Class of 1977 at the base of the “Bring Me Men Ramp.” (Right) Cadet cadre provide a personal greeting to members of the Class of 2016 at the base of the now “Core Values Ramp.”

(Above) Class of 1992 members stand at parade rest while awaiting a Saturday Morning Inspection. Based on the the furniture in the background, plenty of woodfurniture polish was probably used. (Left) A cadet from the Class of 2016 does the same, sans the wood amenities.

(Left) Today, instructors teach lessons through a myriad of electronic media, but sometimes nothing beats an old-fashioned chalk board.

(Below) In 1963, there were only two choices, the chalk board or the overhead projector.

(Above) The Cadet Wing of 1963 stands at attention before marching to Mitchell Hall for a meal. Back in those days, the wing marched in formation to every meal every weekday. (Below) The Cadet Wing of 2013 marches to three breakfasts and two lunches per week.

(Above) Cadetsrelieve stress many ways, one such way is “carrier landings” in the squadron hallway, (inset) In 1980, cadets employed a practice called “nuking,” which has now been “eliminated.”

It seems to be a time-honored tradition to borrow “steal” from the Honor Wall, weather it’s 2012 (right) or 1988

Whether it’s 1956, or 2013, in the end, it all comes back to that special moment in May, when couples unite for the time-honored tradition known as Ring Dance.

(above).

(Above) Today, cadets have their very own sports bar called “Haps” in Arnold Hall.

(Right) In 1956, cadets trained and lived at Lowry Air Force Base in Denver, and while they didn’t have “Haps” yet, they did have pool tables in Lowry’s Arnold Hall.

(Above and left) No matter what year it is, no cadet has ever been able to resist the power of the blue magnet.

(Above) In 1961, it appears that fountain jumping was not limited to the senior class upon completion of finals. From yearbook documentation found, the tradition seems to have been more spontaneous and unstructured. (Right) Today, seniors have a planned and choreographed ritual they perform complete with props and photo documentation after completing their last final.

(Left) The Class of 2013 celebrates graduation with the traditional hat toss as heritage aircraft from World War II fly overhead. (Below) The Thunderbirds fly over the class of 1988.

Most experiences are special for the people or for the experience. USAFA’s special because the experiences come from the people. From the great trips of football seasons to recording DJ shows for no one to hear. From porch nights to falling asleep on the way back from Keystone. From music video of the night to late night Fifa games. From all nighters in the Mech Lab to cheap golf rounds. Loved it most of the time.
