INTRODUCTION

On June 28, 2012, the members of the Class of 2016 showed up for inprocessing at the Air Force Academy amidst billowing smoke coming from the Waldo Canyon fires. Many of us had no idea what the next six weeks of Basic Cadet Training would hold, but we would come to learn the raging fires would be symbolic of the intensity to follow both in BCT and for the next four years, forging a bond among brothers and sisters that would last a lifetime.

Despite the fires, our class earned our fourth class cadet shoulder boards and we were accepted into the cadet wing. In the nine months that followed, members of the Class of 2016 withstood the rigors of the Academy’s curriculum, triumphed on the field of play and endured training at the hands of the upperclassmen.

Eventually, we arrived at Recognition, though not all of the members who arrived at in-processing had made it that far. Although it was a spring weekend, a spring blizzard rolled into Colorado. An intense year of training that began among flames culminated in record cold temperatures with snow and ice. The struggles we endured all year and

the bonds we formed were tempered by our Recognition.

This year laid the foundation for us all; it developed our character, strengthened our grit, and helped us grow and mature. It has propelled us to achieve; we have earned jump wings and soloed in aircraft, won championships and presented research, served the community and fostered relationships, learned to follow and learned to lead.

We’ve learned humility and teamwork, but to act with confidence in ourselves and what we can accomplish. We came together in times of sadness when our classmate, Jim Walsh passed, and celebrated together in times ofjoy and achievement.The years that followed our arrival haven’t been easy. We have all faced disappointment and failure, but we have all developed trust in each other, despite our differences, because of what we have endured together to lean on each other and get to the finish line together.

When we throw our hats in the air on June 2, we will look back on the journey and know we are ready for the challenges that lie ahead because together we have been forged in fire and tempered in ice.

Basic Cadet TRAINING

Basic Cadet Training is the first experience appointees to the U.S. Air Force Academy have when they arrive starting with inprocessing day.

BCT trains appointees on standards and skills needed to be accepted into the Cadet Wing. It is cadet run with firsties and twodegrees holding leadership positions in the BCT Group. It is a six-week program starting in the summer and ending right before the start of the academic year. Training is divided into two parts, first and second BCT, with each emphasizing different skills.

First BCT started with I-day June 25. Parents said their goodbyes as appointees boarded the bus and rode off to the hill. Training kicked off with a running start when appointees chose to step off the bus and become basics cadets.

Training continued as basics attended briefings, learned to greet, took the Physical and Aerobic Fitness tests, learned standards for rooms and uniforms, and tried to stay out of cadres’ eyes as much as possible.

Intramurals allowed basics a few hours away from the training environment to get out and play team sports with other basics from their respective squadrons. First BCT ended with a rodeo in Colorado Springs, the first time basics were allowed off base.

“First beast was long and stressful, most of it is a blur to me,” said C4C Hannah McGowen. “It’s tough to remember everything that happened. I-day seems so long ago, but it was easily the most memorable.”

Second BCT started as soon as the buses arrived back at the Academy after the rodeo. The first part was spent in the Cadet Area continuing training begun during first BCT. Cadets were in bed at taps and awake at 0430 when reveille sounded each day.

The second week in, basics marched approximately five miles to Jacks Valley. Over the next week and a half, they completed new challenges like the assault course and leadership reaction course learning team building skills and confidence under pressure. Basics also kept themselves and their tents clean while continuing to learn and greet upperclassmen with respect.

Second BCT wrapped up with the Big Bad Basic finals and a demonstration from a CV-22. Basics were accepted into the Cadet Wing Aug. 4 in the Acceptance Day Parade.

“Second Beast was more physical than first beast, but also more fun,” said C4C Alexandra Cain. “It was easier to see the cadre as people and to connect with them. It was definitely a life-changing experience.”

Heritage MARCH

Cadets in long blue service coats and wheel caps fell in line, marching silently along Academy roads from the cadet area to the cemetery Nov. 13.

The annual Heritage March began in the fall of 2014. This year the weather was not as cold as anticipated but the uniform matched the solidarity and formality of the occasion.

The march has grown more meaningful each year and will continue to in the years to come. It represents unity in the cadets’ equally-measured steps, perseverance through a long-distance march, and respect as they focus on the destination ahead in honoring the fallen.

Upon arrival to the cemetery, the tone was set by Maj Gen Jack Briggs, Class of 1986, reminding cadets of the fallen from this year, to include a former faculty member and

aide to Academy superintendent, Maj Phyllis Pelkey, who passed away in an accident in Afghanistan in October. The Heritage March is intended to remind cadets of why they came to the Academy, why they stay, and why they fight.

“The march from USAFA to the cemetery is always quiet,” said C2C Jonathan Nguyen. “Cadets always know the importance of this march and respect the culture we are honoring.”

Through this event, cadets were given the opportunity to reflect upon the Academy’s past, present, and what may lie ahead. Cadets don’t know where their classmates will be in five, 10, or 20 years, but they know they are brothers and sisters in arms until the end, and the Heritage March is meant to emphasize that feeling. - C1CClare Sakovich

Recognition WiiKIND

ecognition is the culminating event of the primary training freshman endure throughout the year. It is to prove to other cadets and themselves they are ready to take the next step towards becoming upperclassmen. This vital and traditional moment of the Air Force Academy cadet experience acknowledges that the fourth class has successfully and effectively met the military training requirements asked of them during the year.

Recognition consists of various activities including a leadership course, assault course, the Academy tour and “The Run to the Rock.” Each event seeks to challenge the fourth class to a higher and different level than before. The tests are set up to make cadets work together. Teamwork is integral to successfully completing the tasks.

“The hardest part of recognition for me was the full day of training with the Academy tour,” said C4C Kyle Woodward from Cadet Squadron 13. The Academy tour is a number of stations around the cadet area that are tied to Academy history, heritage, and lineage. At one station for example, forthclassmen gather

in front of the class wall where they receive a speech reminding them that many cadets before them have lost their lives in battle giving the ultimate sacrifice.

The idea is if fourthclassmen can push through the weekend, then they can accomplish anything. In addition to providing freshmen a challenge, Recognition gives other cadets an opportunity to develop leadership skills. The upperclassmen push the fourth class to its limits in hopes they will weather the storm.

“A lot of freshman rose to the occasion and really put in the extra effort to earn their prop and wings,” said C2C Julie Fleming from CS-13. “They knew that failure wasn't an option so they pushed through, finished strong, and culminated their freshman training. I was really proud of the freshman in my squadron for how hard they worked.”

Tuesday, Sept. 11,2001, was 14 years ago now, and I’m willing to bet that the majority of cadets don’t remember the day. I was almost 8, and I recall being pulled out of school and watching my parents cry as they tried to explain to us three kids the horror of the evil that had occurred.

Every year at 9/11, as I know many of us do out of respect and as a way of commemoration, I take time to watch footage of the attacks, newscasts from the morning, and fellow Americans who would otherwise be taking their freedom for granted suddenly taken aback by the horror of tyranny and hatred touching us on our own turf. I see forecasts of a beautiful September day in New York City. Men and women walk their dogs in Central Park. The President joins an elementary school in Florida for a reading class. Then suddenly, and without warning, everything changes at 0846. There’s confusion, questioning, and chaos. Questions range from an internal explosion in the North Tower to an aircraft headed to LaGuardia having mechanical issues. By 0903, when the second plane careens over Manhattan into the South Tower, everyone suddenly acknowledges their greatest fear affirmed. The voices of eyewitnesses are filled with terror, not fear—horror, not curiosity. The President receives the word that “America is under attack,” and his smile fades.

I walk away from the footage with a myriad of emotions: I’m shocked, I’m enraged, and I’m anxious to grab my gun and go fight. For these reasons, I clench my fists. I shake. I sweat. Even now, as I write, I’m enraged. I’m trembling. But there’s one more emotion which I feel every time I see footage from

9/11 and the days thereafter - unmitigated, unfettered, and unapologetic pride.

For this reason, I cry. Every time.

When I watch the footage of the NYPD Cops and FDNY Firefighters suiting up to go inside of the World Trade Centers at 0850,1 see a lot more than someone doing their job. I see a young stock broker wearing a red bandana carrying and leading people down seemingly endless flights of stairs. I see pilots putting on their G-Suits, I see Marines checking their weapons, I see soldiers lacing their boots, and I see sailors hauling in tie-down ropes. I see brave men preparing themselves to fight evil at its source, knowing full well that the fight ahead will likely claim their lives.

9/11 may have been a victorious day for evil, but it was a somber, glorious day for all of us. It lit a spark in our national soul, which boiled into a flame for justice. Samuel Adams once wrote: “It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting the brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.”

We are that minority, now. If the brushfire of freedom is not ablaze in your mind, I beg you to reconsider your commitment. It’s so easy for us to get caught up in the day-to-day and forget why we’re here. I love each and every one of y’all, and I thank you for your service.

Airmanship DISPLAYS

There are a lot of cadet activities tied to home football games at the Academy. As squadron Morale Welfare and Recreation staffs transport and set up the tailgating gear, buses ferry cadets from the Core Values Ramp to the stadium parking lot. In another section of the stadium area, a different commotion builds as vendors and other groups set up displays and prepare their showcases.

Joining this group is the Academy Airmanship program that sets up static displays to showcase to the public the variety of mission elements working at the Academy. In addition to the Wings of Blue, that jump into the stadium before the start of the game, are the soaring squadron andthe unmanned aerial systems program. Each of these programs brings with it several airframes to assemble, for fans to view before and during the game. While the gliders are setting up on the north side of the bleachers, behind the cadet sections, the UAS program is demonstrating airpower at the south end of the stadium.

“The Academy offers a wide variety of activities and experiences for all the cadets in the wing and the statics allow cadets to showcase their talents and passions,” said C2C Leza Chapman.

The overarching mission of these displays is both to show the public the airpower assets of the Academy and to allow cadets to demonstrate academic proficiency in their program.

The chance to work with the fellow instructors encourages esprit-de-corps essential to the effective operation of these flying squadrons. The displays also attract high school and elementary school students who are interested in the Academy and flying in general.

“I believe that the airmanship static displays give us an opportunity to showcase our knowledge of aviation and show the public some of the great opportunities available to us,” said C2C Hanson Oxford. “We have a chance to reach a lot of people in the local community and bring interest to what we do here at the Academy.” - C2C Kenneth Tomlinson

Honor GUARD

he Air Force Academy Cadet Honor Guard is a military organization dedicated to the development of outstanding future officers. The Cadet Honor Guard was founded in 1974 by Cadet Dan Jordan, a former member of the Texas A&M Fighting Aggie Fish Drill Team. It is an organization whose members strive to uphold higher standards of professionalism, performance, and leadership. More than just a club, the team is held together by a strong sense of pride, dedication, and purpose.

“I never trusted anyone more in my life than the men and women that I had the pleasure of being on this team with,” said C1C Jasmine Kim

These feelings stem from the common hardships and adversity endured by all team members prior to receiving the Cadet Honor Guard patch. To earn the patch andthe honor of serving the Cadet Wing, fourth class cadets must persevere through a year of rigorous training in addition to requirements established for the fourth classmen by the Cadet Wing. This training is both physically and mentally demanding. It focuses on developing the fourth class cadets through values

shared amonst the team such as precision, hardiness and self-discipline.

The Cadet Honor Guard performs various tasks for the Cadet Wing and the surrounding community, such as reveille, retreat, posting of the colors, firing parties, funeral details, and sabre arches for newlywed graduates. In addition, it also competes in collegiate exhibition drill competitions across the country and represents the Academy in several parades.

“The Cadet Honor Guard has given me some of the most unique, exciting, and rewarding experiences I could have ever asked for out of the Academy - from meeting the Vice President of the United States, to taking part in the funeral service of a fellow cadet,” said C1C Jacob Cable. “My time on this team has certainly been worth the countless hours of getting yelled at, preparing uniforms, and practicing the same performances over and over for competition.”

The mission of the Cadet Honor Guard is to represent cadets, graduates, and service members with pride, respect, and dignity for sacrificing their lives and serving the nation.

Bulldo

The Bulldog Program trains Academy cadets to successfully pass Marine Corps Officer Candidates School during their rising-firstie summer.

OCS, a six-week program held in Quantico, VA, is a requirement for cadets wanting to cross-commission into the Marine Corps upon graduation. Candidates are tested on leadership, physical capabilities and academic abilities. In order to have a chance at completing OCS, cadets must first complete at least one year of the Bulldog Program.

“The Marine Corps is a very different service from the Air Force,” said C1C Mark Caldwell, Bulldog Cadet-in-Charge. “It is our job to prepare USAFA Candidates for the immensely challenging tests they will experience in their leadership, physical performance, and academic proficiency at OCS.”

The Bulldog Program consists of weekly classroom sessions in which cadets learn skills and knowledge that will be tested at OCS, such as: night land navigation, fire team and squad tactics, Marine Corps history, and more.

In addition to the classroom lectures, cadets must complete an overnight screener near the end of the fall semester which is designed to test cadets’ commitment to the Bulldog Program, leadership presence, and physical stamina.

During the spring semester, the Bulldog Program ramps up with OCS only a few months away. Cadets take part in multiple field exercises throughout the semester which allow them to hone the skills they learned during the fall semester classes. - C1C David Higgins

Polaris WARRIOR

Afull year of military training leads up to the annual end-of-year test called Polaris Warrior. This year’s event was scheduled in early April, but a typical spring blizzard belayed that order until later in the month where another storm left cadets facing the challenge in a chilly, icy and starkly beautiful environment.

“This was the event that almost didn’t happen. The winter Colorado weather would not leave us alone, even on our second try,” said Tech Sgt Leslie Cook, Cadet Squadron 40 Academy military trainer. “The cadets came back cold, wet, muddy, and tired. Overall, they had a blast and learned about leadership, followership, and being flexible.”

Seven courses challenged cadets’ knowledge of the Airman’s Manual on top

ics like chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosives; self-aid buddy care; and unexploded ordnance.

A military strategic studies simulation had teams plan and coordinate an attack on a fictional target. Lastly, cadets hacked into a course computer to gather intelligence to predict when, where, and how a fictional terrorist attack would occur.

“Polaris Warrior is unique because cadets prepare and plan forit all year,” said C1C Alex Fairbanks, CS40 major training events officer. “From a squadron perspective, it brings everyone together and gives us a chance to show our warrior ethos. Because the teams are relatively small, it also gives upper-class cadets a chance to practice leading.” - C2C Rachel Curtis

Cadet squadrons, like many organizations, are outwardly similar. Each has a similar structure, a similar chain of command, and similar goals - to be the best. At theend of the 2016 academic year however, Cadet Squadron 9 stood apart from the rest as Outstanding Squadron at the graduation awards ceremony in Clune Arena May 31.

Squadron commander, C1C Damon Kirkpatrick, understood the secret sauce to a winning squadron was to build a great team while implementing a collaborative leadership style fostered around a family-oriented culture of servant-leadership.

“Our focus on taking care of people helped us achieve success in all areas of cadet life because people perform at their best when they feel they belong and their leadership and friends genuinely care about them,” Kirkpatrick said.

Theresults from establishing a culture of commitment and respect yielded many accomplishments, including #1 squadron (plac-

ing in the top 10 for all Outstanding Squadron scoring categories) and #1 Polaris Warrior. Flight commander, C1C Saphira Philson, highlights that family atmosphere with an observation that the squadron “wasn’t as cliquey as other squadrons” and “we held each other accountable.” That atmosphere translated into a strong corporate feeling where everyone was unselfishly invested in helping each other reach a common goal.

Fifty cadets assigned to CS9 shared the stage at this year’s Class of 2016 graduation ceremony, June 2, with President Barack Obama and Academy Superintendent, Lt Gen Michelle Johnson.

“It is an honor for my classmates and I to end our cadet careers with this achievement,” Kirkpatrick said. “The squadron is full of high-quality, high-performing, genuine people.”

The bottom line for the squadron’s excellence was to focus on the people in the squadron and put them first. - C2C Christy Allen

Combat FATALITIES

Atoast to the host give a moment of silence to three graduates killed in combat this past year: Maj. Adrianna Vorderbruggen, Capt. Jordan Pierson and Capt. Matthew Roland gave the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation.

Major Vorderbruggen was a 2002 graduate who went on to become a special agent with the Office of Special Investigations. She was killed Dec. 21, 2015, during a patrol in a village north of Bagram, Afghanistan.

“If her team was outside the wire doing a village assessment then that’s where she would be,” said Lt Col Pamela Alley, squadron commander. Major Vonderbruggen is survived by her wife, Heather Lamb, their son Jacob, her father and her brothers.

Captain Pierson was a 2010 graduate from Cadet Squadron 27 and a pilot. He and his crew were killed Oct. 2, 2015, after their C-130J crashed shortly after takeoff from Jalabad Airfield, Afghanistan. He is survived by his wife Jaime, his parents and siblings.

“We owe it to these warriors to complete the mission for which they gave their lives, to protect and defend the freedoms upon which our great nation was built. We must never forget them or the sacrifices they

made,” said Brig Gen Dave Julazadeh, 455th Air Expeditionary Wing commander.

Captain Roland, Class of 2010, CS35, was killed Aug. 26, 2015. He was a special tactics officer and was killed when two Afghan National Defense and Security Forces individuals fired on his convoy in the Helmand Province of Afghanistan. The captain was posthumously awarded the Silver Star for recognizing the imminent threat and giving a radio call about the insider threat to the rest of his convoy. Simultaneously. Roland put himself in the line of fire by moving the bus to protect his vehicles occupants.

“He was a titan among men,” said MSgt Jared Hodges, one of his special tactics teammates. “Captain Roland’s tactical knowledge was unmatched.”

Captain Roland was two weeks away from finishing his deployment to Afghanistan. He is survived by his parents.

These three graduates serve as a reminder of the dedication, professionalism, and service that is demanded of all Academy Graduates. They will be remembered as individuals who sacrificed their lives to ensure that others could live theirs. - Compiled from Air Force News Service reports

Combat FATALITIES

The funeral service for Maj Phyllis Pelky, an Air Force Academy major who died in a helicopter accident in Afghanistan, took place Oct. 26 at the Cadet Chapel.

Major Pelky wasone of five killed and five injured aboard a British Helicopter that crashed Oct. 11 near Kabul, Afghanistan.

During her deployment to the 438th Air ExpeditionaryWing, Afghanistan, she managed personnel-support teams for hundreds of service members and civilians and local gender integration efforts for the Afghan Air Force.

Chaplain (Capt) Don Romero led the Catholic Mass of the Resurrection and Rite of Committal for Major Pelky.

At the service, Academy Superintendent Lt Gen Michelle Johnson spoke about the officer who, until her deployment to Afghanistan, served as her aide-de-camp.

“Phyllis was courageous,” General Johnson said. “Her inner strength resonated throughout her story. Over the days since we lost her, stories of her kind impact are pouring in from people touched by her positive spirit.”

Brig Gen Andrew Armacost, the Academy’s dean of the faculty, also spoke.

“Her commitment to General Johnson, to this entire institution and to her friends in the Foreign Language Department, was simply unmatched,” he said. “Phyllis and her amazing contributions to our Academy and to our faculty will endure. It is our job to ensure her legacy remains here forever.”

Major Pelky was born in Evergreen Park, IL, Feb. 13, 1970, to parents George and Dale Berlin. She earned a bachelor’s in education from the University of New Mexico and taught German language and humanities at Rio Rancho High School in Rio Rancho, New Mexico.

The Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States motivated her to apply to Officer Training School, said Dave Pelky, Pelky’s husband of 25 years.

She earned her commission as a second lieutenant in June 2004 and began her military career as a force support officer at Kadena AB, Japan.

Major Pelky is also survived by sons Zach and Alex and six siblings.

She was interred at the Academy Cemetery after the Mass. - Academy Public Affairs

Majors' MOOT

Majors’ Night is an opportunity for the two lower classes to interact with all the academic majors offered at the Academy. Some underclassman are still on the fence for what majors they want to pursue while others are checking out almost every major to find the right fit. This decision may affect the rest of their professional lives so it is no wonder why so many cadets spend a great deal of time pondering the decision.

Instructors and declared upperclassmen help the lower two comb through the choices. These booths have hands-on examples of class projects, pamphlets and charts for explaining what the major entails.

Every major wants cadets to feel comfortable with their choice.The Academy has a wide variety of majors ranging from management, biology, computer sciences and aeronautical engineering. No matter the choice, the work will always be hard so cadets must be ready to take on their major’s load.

“Majors’ Night helped me narrow down my choices to one or two majors,”

said C3C Ryan Connors. “It was great to see what other cadets thought about the majors rather than just listening to what instructors thought.”

Throughout the first two years of cadets’ lives, underclassmen are given the opportunity to take many core classes which may help them choose a major. These core classes include basic engineering, chemistry, physics, and english. If they choose, underclassmen have a choice to move up a later core class like biology or management to help them decide.

“Majors’ Night was very beneficial to me,” said C3C Michael Sutton. “It allowed me to better understand all the possible majors the institution has to offer, as well as helped me decide what major I wanted to declare.”

The exposure to academic majors at Majors’ Night is important for the cadets to find what they are interested in and what upperclassmen seem to fit in their niche of friends and their potential loads for the future.

Water

Water survival, more commonly known amongst cadets as “water haze,” is a class required in the core physical education curriculum at the Academy.

The course covers a variety of scenarios Air Force members could possibly experience during joint operations across the globe.

The course challenges cadets to perform in minor water survival situations they may encounter in a water environment due to a failed flight over the coast, evading enemies through bodies of water or even crash survival on the open ocean.

Regardless of the situation, this physical fitness class helps cadets be better prepared and equipped with the knowledge for basic water survival.

“People always talk about the 10-meter scenario, but for me the real trouble was the 20-minute swim and the treading and drown proofing after that,” said C1CGrant

Hamilton. “That day reaffirmed that I was indeed a sinker.”

The class emphasizes the importance of the student being a life saver, not a life guard. It teaches students to remain calm and face fears in a most elementary sense to include: jumping off the 10-meter platform, swimming under water for 25 meters, rescuing a dummy, performing inflation techniques on ABU pants and blouse, and endurance swims. Most cadets are surprised with their new abilities and aptitude for overcoming fears.

“Water survival pushed me out of my comfort zone,” said C1C Magdalena Torres. “I was proud of my ability to grow and overcome my fear of heights in order to complete the class.”

While not necessarily a preferred class, it is one that is beneficial to all cadets. This physical education class promotes courage and remaining level headed in adverse situations. - C3C Madison Gray

any cadets cringe when they hear the words “Remote Piloted Aircraft slot” or “92T3 Specialty Code,” but some do not even know what the RPA career field is really about. There is a Military Strategic Studies class that helps cadets understand and relate to the RPA career field.

MSS 201 instructs cadets in the theory, context, and application of unmanned aerial systems in an operational environment.

Blending academic instruction with hands on weapon system training, the students learn to solve complex problems on the same platform currently in use by airmen around the world.

For many cadets, MSS 201 becomes the launching pad for leadership inthe Academy Unmanned Aircraft Science Center and for becoming certified instructors on the RQ-11 weapon system, the only system certification at the Air Force Academy.

“This classis the most Air Force applicable class I have taken at USAFA so far,” said C3C Ryan Connors. “I have learned the most about real Air Force operations here in MSS 201.”

In this class, students get to learn about many small Unmanned Aerial Systems and large RPA. Half theclass is focused in the classroom while the other half is actually training on the Academy’s UAS/RPA airframe the RQ-11 B Raven. In the end, students are offered the chance to spend their Ops Air Force training in Florida for certification on the Raven.

“I love learning about the different RPA air frames,” said C3C Briana Chavez. “This class has definitely piqued my interest for the RPA career field.”

This class is a grassroots way to get cadets involved in the RPA community. Many cadets lack the basic knowledge behind the program and find it hard to relate. Most cadets choose to stick with the USAFA UAS/RPA program to become instructor pilots and put in for a 92T3slot after MSS 201.

Regardless, the class offers cadets a skill set many of their counterparts going through other commissioning sources have not had. - C3C Benjamin Cook

Semester

To help form partnerships in our military, the Academy offers two premier programs for culture and language immersion: the Cadet Semester Exchange Abroad Program and the Cadet Semester Study Abroad Program. The explicit goals of these programs are: to strongly develop cadet language skills, to form a deep understanding of specific cultures and the importance of culture in general and to promote robust relationships with other nations to serve the United States and its allies.

A CSEAP is a partnership with another nation’s military academy where we exchange a set number of officer candidates for a semester. The host nation pays for tuition, food and board of cadets in their care. Partnerships here include Canada, Chile, France, Germany, Spain, Singapore and Japan amounting to 27cadets in their two-degree or firstie year.

The CSSAP is similar to a traditional study-abroad program. Cadets are sent to civilian universities in foreign nations, but no one from that nation is sent to the Academy in return. Countries for this program include

China, Japan, Germany, Georgia, Morocco, Portugal and Mexico for 26 cadets.

When asked what one thing she will remember forever from her CSEAP to Germany, C2C Holly Martin recalled, “the German National Anthem has a very special place in my heart. I memorized the third verse of the German National Anthem and sang it at our squadron Christmas party at the end of the semester as a present to all of the incredible people who had influenced my life. It wasone of the most impactful moments of the semester for me.”

C1C Abbey Wolters expressed sentiments on the amazing experience of living not only in Georgian culture but also among a host of other exchange cadets and added her impression of “the feeling of Georgia...and the things [she] learned about [her]self will forever stay in her memory.

Selection is incredibly competitive and involves an extensive application and interview process, with some questions asked in the second language. In the end, less than one-third of the applicants are selected.

Surrounded by lectinars and coffeetoting cadets hurrying on their way to class lies the Permanent Professors Art Gallery. Throughout the year, artwork produced by cadets is put on display for anyone to observe and enjoy.

Artwork is rotated periodically throughout the year to present pieces from a variety of cadets with differing influences. Works from professional artists are sometimes displayed as well.

Cadets may take an art appreciation class as an elective that will introduce them to the fundamentals of artistic expression and provide them an opportunity to express themselves with a variety of media. The Air Force Academy is typically regarded as a very scientific and technically based school, but this opportunity for artistic influence provides cadets with the chance to explore a skill-set they might never have encountered before.

In an environment which applies constant stress academically, physically and militarily, and which emphasizes hard deadlines,

black and white conformity, and seemingly unending right angles, creating these artistic pieces allows cadets to stretch their minds and create something entirely their own, reflecting their individuality and personal perspective. The opportunity to create something freely, with thebarest of guidelines, may seem like a challenge at first to many cadets who are used to following instructions and solving problems, but can lead to improved critical thinking and creativity, emphasizing adaptability and the expression of oneself in a manner that does not require a solution or a correct answer.

The process of creating these works of art requires patience, flexibility, creativity, and diligence, all useful skills for aspiring leaders in the Air Force. Upon completion, many cadets will get to see their artwork posted on the glass walls of the Permanent Professors Art Gallery, where others will take breaks from studying to admire the works of their peers, and maybe find inspiration of their own. - C2C Morgan Fagnant

Finals Week leads to many emotional responses amongst cadets, excitement that the semester/academic year is coming to a close - dread that they may not be prepared for what lies ahead or maybe uneasiness for freshmen because it’s their first experience with college-level final exams.

Each semester, the accumulation of 40 lessons amounts to one week of stress, unease and multitasking. Some breeze by while others dread the final 25 percent of their grade in every class. Some cadets are diligent about studying well in advance while a good handful find themselves cracking their textbooks open for the first time.

“I always study well in advance for finals, however, when the day comes, I always feel unprepared,” said C1C Connor Healy. “You never know what is going to be tested until the pamphlet is in front of you.”

Finals test each cadet’s understanding of the course material. For some, this may be in the form of projects or papers; however, the majority of finals are test pamphlets.

Seniors find they have very few finals their last year here while some freshmen are stuck herethe full week studying and testing. The sooner finals are over the sooner cadets can go home for the holidays, prepare for summer programs, or in the case of firsties, finalize plans for graduation.

“It’s great not having to stay the whole week for finals,” said C1C Nicole Gardner. “I get to go home a lot sooner. It is a sweet reward for making it this far.”

While cadets cram in the last bit of material they can pick up from a class, there is little doubt that finals week has the highest consumption rates for caffeinated and energy drinks.

During this testing period, academic rooms in squadron are always packed and dorm room lights stay on well past taps. The library offers extended hours andthe weekend before finals week is always free for cadets to do as much studying as they need. It’s an arduous week, but in the words of Kelly Clarkson, “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.”

Fountain JUMPING

Step 1: Finish Final. Step 2: Jump in Fountain. Step 3: Who cares, you’re done with USAFA Academics!

This is the moment all cadets truly look forward to. Sure they look forward to finishing up the cadet military and athletic requirements, but finishing academics, that is something that is undeniably desired.

Freshmen year, walking out of a chemistry or calculus final, head down wondering what just happened to you and why you can’t seem to form coherent thoughts. Then you look up to see seniors leaping joyously into the fountain. A little bit of hope rises inside you.

As sophomore year passes, you leave that physics final behind you and a little more hope wells up inside as you stumble past the same giddy scene.

As junior year comes and goes, you temporarily sate your anticipation with the arrival of your Academy Class Ring, and jumping in the fountain seems nearly in reach.

Finally, finally, it’s senior year and the cool water washes away all the worry you have built up over years at the Academy. You are free to live your life without the shadow of the Dean hanging over you!Congratulations Class of 2016, you beat the Dean, for the last time!

A Mitchell Hall employee uncovers ingredients for cadets to use.

Cadet CHEFS

Cadets became chefs this fall, during a cooking lesson from a professional television chef.

A dozen cadets were given the opportunity to receive a cooking lesson from Carla Hall, professional chef and cohost of the daytime talk-themed cooking television program, The Chew.

Lesson one took the cadets by surprise: no recipe.

“I’m not going to give you a recipe,” she said to the cadets. “You don’t have to rely on a recipe.”

“I know, you’re military, you’re all about checklists. Well, cooking isn’t really about checklists and recipes,” she said. “I’m going to give you ratios. It’s really about knowing cooking techniques and knowing your palate. Do you want it to be spicy, or don’t you? Do you want it to have tarragon or Dijon mustard, or don’t you? I want you to be involved in the creation of your meal.”

On the menu for this lesson was a Dijon tarragon chicken, accompanied by a small salad and a hand-made vinaigrette.

“You can use any spice. I want to

teach them the technique to sear chicken and put different condiments on it,” said Hall. She concentrated her lesson on ratios and techniques, to build a foundation of cooking skill in thecadets.

“When they go home on leave or vacation, hopefully what I teach gives them the skills and simple techniques needed to start them on the road to being great at cooking,” Hall said.

Hall and thecadets received a healthy assist from several of Mitchell Hall’s top employees. Tommie Jones, Roxanne Baker and Kiem Guffin did the set-up for the lesson with other Mitchell Hall staff, and were onscene during the lesson to share expertise and technique with budding cadet chefs.

With the help from Hall and the Mitchell Hall professionals, a dozen different chicken dishes, salads and vinaigrettes were produced,

Hall was at the Air Force Academy Tuesday, as part of a USO tour to local military bases, giving lessons and cooking tips to Airmen and Soldiers around the Pikes Peak Region. -

Intramural SPORTS

Intramurals are a great time for cadets to release stress from their hectic lives in an organized, team-based sport. The athletic department sets up multiple sports each semester to allow cadets to build relationships within their squadrons while athletically contributing to a team.

“Intramurals are a great time to escape from the stresses of everyday cadet life and form strong bonds within the squadron,” said C4C Jose Silva. “It’s a great way to get to know the upperclassmen outside of the training environment.”

Sports change each semester and are split into blocks so cadets can choose what sport and when they would like to participate. Included are soccer, basketball, volleyball, flag football and softball. Cadets compete with peers against other squadrons in their group in hopes to make it to playoffs. As an incentive to do well, squadrons have a chance to contribute points towards

the end-of-year Outstanding Squadron Standings.

Intramurals last about a month per sport and squadrons play every other day. Cadets officiate each sport as to allow for a fair and equal contest.

Many cadets played on amateur teams before coming to the Academy so they love the chance to be involved with a sport regardless of their status here at USAFA.

“I actually really enjoy intramurals,” said C1C Henry Baron. “As a student here who didn’t take the opportunity to try and walk-on to an intercollegiate team, having the opportunity to compete is very refreshing. My squadron’s (CS-09) flag-football team is very competitive this year and I’m excited to get out there and fight with them.”

Athletes playing on intercollegiate teams are not required to participate in intramurals and use this time to practice for their NCAA sports.

Doolie RETREAT

The Protestant doolie retreat this year provided an opportunity for freshmen to get out of the cadet area and experience the Frontier Ranch in beautiful Buena Vista, CO.

Doolies, alongside upperclassmen leaders, got a chance to relax and enjoy the many amenitiesthis camp offers including a hot tub, heated pool and waterslide. Cadets also went on the High Ropes Course featuring a zip line and several other obstacles. Additionally, there were hiking trails, a volleyball court and plenty of views for everyone to admire.

“My favorite part was the hike, hands down,” said C4C Stanley Ocheskey. “Being able to see other parts of Colorado was amazing. I had a great time and became closer with God.”

When it wasn’t free time, cadets

enhanced their spiritual strength guided by the cadet chapel protestant worship team.

On Saturday morning, SPIRE leaders led break-out groups where freshmen could choose which one they wanted to attend. Upperclassmen got a chance to lead small groups and meet during the weekend to discuss a variety of topics.

“It was a greatgetaway, which focused on the idea of putting God first,” said C4C Becky Layng. “I loved getting to know people and taking the time to look at the stars and enjoy God’s creation.”

The Doolie retreat provided a wonderful time of resiliency for cadets, so they could be refreshed and ready to come back and perform their duties at the Academy. Cadets also enjoyed the time that this weekend provided to practice their faith. - C4C Meghan VanderMaas

More than 4,000 cadets make up the Academy Cadet Wing. These cadets are split into four groups. Each group has 10 squadrons. When cadets try to explain what a cadet squadron is to civilian friends, the most common comparison is a college fraternity or sorority.

Squadrons are the smallest functional unit at the Academy. The squadron has approximately 100 cadets split between four class years. Jobs within the squadron consist of a chain of command with public affairs, security, morale welfare and recreation officers and many more. Each cadet lives within the squadron in grouped dorms, so it is not surprising to say the “squadron life” plays a huge part in cadets’ daily lives.

Freshmen or basic cadets start off in one squadron for Basic Cadet Training and continue there for two years. As sophomores they “shuffle” into new squadrons for a fresh start and a new perspective.

“The squadron shuffle provides new challenges for the rising two degrees as they learn to embrace their new squadrons’ culture, heritage and traditions,” said C2C Kenneth Tomlinson of Cadet Squadron 13.

Squadrons hold various training activities for the freshmen class with involvement from every upper class. MWR officers host parties for morale such as pancake breakfasts, Halloween parties and football tailgates. Squadron halls hold study rooms for cadets to help each other study

and to work on group projects.

“The squadron is a great family dynamic, and an excellent opportunity to grow and develop as a cadet,” said C2C Richie Vitraelli, CS35.

Each squadron hosts its own celebrations for assignment drop night, 100’s night, Army/Navy week, commissioning and other special occasions. Cadets who may be having a difficult time with Academy life or struggling with issues not directly associated with the Academy can talk with PEER counselors - specially-trained cadets within each squadron. An air officer commanding and academy military trainer, active duty officers and NCOs, are in charge of each squadron helping cadets develop into officers.

“We’re here to train, lead, inspire, mentor and evaluate the future leaders of our Air Force and provide operational perspective,” said Maj. Charles Hansen, CS14 AOC. “We aim to facilitate opportunity, make sense of challenges, and enhance their experience amidst the officer development system. We’re proud to see and help them grow.”

One of the first questions alumni ask each other when they meet in the active Air Force is “what squadron were you in.” No matter where cadets go after graduation or who they become, some of the closest friends and strongest memories from the Academy always seem to be from their cadet squadron.

Every year, each service academy fights for the Commander-in-Chiefs Trophy.

The academies switch home appearances each year.

This year, West Point made its appearance in Colorado Springs. This special occasion attracts some of the Air Force’s leaders for Corona Week including Gen Mark A.Welsh III and Chief Master Sgt of the Air Force James A. Cody.

Exchange cadets from both service academies, here and at Army West Point, are the center of many freshmen spirit missions during this week. Pranks include forcing Army cadets to wear funny outfits throughout the day, dunking them in the showers and giving them frivolous tasks to complete.

“I loved Army Week,” said C4C Matthew Green. “It was really fun to experience this my first year here at USAFA. Best part about Army week? Beating them at everything.”

Besides the football game, many extramural events are set up for cadets to partici

pate throughout the day before Saturday’s football game. Cadets from both schools participate in flag football, ultimate frisbee, soccer and more. These games take place all over the Academy to include the Terrazo and the athletic fields.

“I loved watching all the spirit missions done to the Army exchange cadets,” said C4C Jennifer Chan. “They always had the best uniforms for the day. This was a fantastic week of friendly competition between these schools.”

Everyone gets hyped up for the big weekend as the events unfold throughout the week. Even Mitchell Hall gets prepared for the rivalry preparing cakes and candy bars branded with the phrase “Go Air Force, Beat Army!” The week’s events culminate with Friday night’sspirit dinner and bonfire on the Terrazzo.

No matter the outcome, this rivalry is for good sport and allows for clean, fun competition between two services once a year.C2C Ally Wells

100's

Aibout 100 days before graduation is possibly the best time of the academic year. The end is near, but not so close that cadets have to stress about finals yet. For seniors, the light at the end of the tunnel is clearly no longer another train. Freshmen however get their own reward in the form of a 100’s Weekend.

A little more than three months before grad day, seniors flee the Academy for three days of fun. Most head to the mountains and other nearby attractions. Absent their leadership, the hallways of Sijan and Vandenberg halls are briefly taken over by the doolies.

“Hundreds Weekend was definitely one of thebest weekends of freshmen year,” said C4C Michael Grieg. “It was one of the few weekends where the freshmen didn't really mind staying at USAFA the entire time because everyone was at rest.”

Benevolent members of the Class of 2016 left behind candy and gave permission to play video games on their big projector

screens in their rooms. In return, the Class of 2019 did a little redecorating.

“For one of the senior’s rooms, we covered every square inch of it in tin foil. For our squad comm's room, we covered the entire floor with sand, put in a little pool, and made it look like a tropical beach,” said Grieg.

The more elaborate, which sometimes equals messy, the room design, the greater the show of appreciation to the senior who lives within. Anticipation mixed with a little dread was common among the soon-to-be-grads as they returned Sunday afternoon. Greeting them was a fourthclass proud of its work and happy to have enjoyed the rarest of rarities at USAFA, a relaxing weekend.

“We spent a good amount of time just hanging out in the hallways because we could and wearing PC gear to Mitch’s was a great feeling also,” said Grieg. “It was also the first time we were allowed to visit others’ squads. We could basically do whatever we wanted. It was pretty great.” - Polaris staff

Columbian

Columbian Week is a 35-year-old tradition of cultural exchange between the Marco Fidel Suarez Military Aviation School and the U.S. Air Force Academy.

This September, the Colombian Air Force Academy sent 114 cadets from its graduating Class of 2015 and a contingent of officers on a 10-hour flight from Cali, Colombia, to Colorado.

A 20-person USAFA cadet staff was competitively selected to plan, organize and execute the event along with 114 USAFA cadets hosting the visiting Colombian cadets.

“I had a great time exchanging stories with my Colombian guest,” said host C3C Anthony LoGrande. “Getting a perspective for military service outside of the United States was an enlightening experience.”

The week’s events included a tour of the Colorado Academy focused on airmanship, training, athletic and academic facilities. This year also marked the second annual competitive soccer match between Colombian cadet soccer players and the

Academy’s club soccer team. Held on the terrazzo the South American guests enjoyed a 2-1 victory despite wing-wide support for the home team.

Other highlights included touring Colorado Springs, a trip to the Castle Rock Outlet Mall, a formal cultural dinner at Doolittle Hall, and a culminating cultural celebration at Hap’s Place in Arnold Hall.

“It was awesome to interact with a group of cadets from another country,” said C1C Rachel Ferguson. “We enjoy the same things, have similar training and laugh together. It’s great to have the reminder that we are not that much different from other countries in the long run.”

Ultimately, Colombia Week serves as a symbol for the partnership between the United States and Colombia through a rich and rewarding cultural exchange and educational event. The memories shared and bonds formed between the cadets of our academies are once-in-a-lifetime opportunities that are fondly cherished.

Community SERVICE

Community service and leadership at the Academy is a great way for the Cadet Wing to give back to the local area. CSL is used as part of cadets’ developmental pillar for military. Students plan, organize and lead groups of cadets and civilians to better the community. Community service and leadership is voluntary and facilitates a healthy environment under the “Service Before Self’ core value.

This year has seen some incredible community service projects as a wing. Cadets helped organize 5K’s for the National Mill Dog Rescue andthe Race for the Cure, went door-todoor in the extended local area to help families prepare for fires and installed fire alarms in homes, and continued support in areas recently devastated by forest fire.

“I am proud of how the Cadet Wing can pull together and pull-off such great community service projects. Not only do cadets help out

in the Colorado Springs area, but some cadets even give up their spring breaks every year to help out their communities back home and communitiesall over the United States,” said newly-graduated 2nd Lt Cori Easter.

When humanitarian aid is needed somewherein the world, cadets often find a way to help. This can be as simple as collecting donations, but it’s not uncommon for someone to give up a vacation to do humanitarian aid under the Alternative Spring Break Program organized by the Center for Character and Leadership Development.

“It is so awesome that we get to physically get out in the public to change the community in a positive way,” said C3C Alicia Neuman, “it always feels so great to havethe chance to impact so many lives!”

No matter the task, cadets always find themselves front and center for their call of duty.

Falcon Fuel

Often up to a third of a cadet’s time is dedicated to the “gym life.” To recover from the energy drain that comes with so much emphasis on fitness, cadets now have the option to tap into Falcon Fuel.

With some of the finest facilities in the military, it is not hard to see why so many cadets love and use the gymnasiums so much. The new gym is only three and a half years old with new equipment arriving quarterly. Students also have cadet-run classes and training including aerobics, spin, and yoga classes.

Falcon Fuel is a dedicated service for cadets that provides healthy snacks and drinks to refuel their bodies after or during a workout.

“I always grab my Falcon Fuel on my way back to the dorms,” said C2C Ren Herbert. “It gives me the strength

to make it back up the stairs.”

During prime hours at the gym, a cadet mans the station and allows peers to take one or two items for themselves. This includes Gatorade, water, granola bars, fresh fruit and chocolate milk. Although the gym is open on a limited basis to any Department of Defense employee, this new service is only provided to cadets.

The Athletic Department works withMitchell Hall to provide food and to maintain the area. Falcon Fuel is set up right inside the north gym doors for easy access from all points: the gym, the pool and the athletic fields.

“I think it’s pretty neat to have Falcon Fuel,” said C2C Nick Bailey. We have never had anything like it before. I don’t think a lot of other universities have a free program like this.”

The week leading up to Ring Dance showed a forecast of thunderstorms the day of the big event. Many were worried a downpour would not only ruin outdoor photo opportunities, but also the formal attire everyone would be wearing. As 4 p.m. neared, the skies cleared and not a drop of rain fell. Hundreds of couples gathered across the Terrazzo, in the Air Gardens, on Spirit Hill and in front of the Cadet Chapel.

“It was awesome to see all my friends out there enjoying themselves with their dates and getting excited for this long awaited event,” said C2C Cameron Duley.

Men in their mess dressand women in their beautiful ball gowns shared laughter and smiles before heading into Mitchell Hall for the dinner and ring exchange. As the official party entered, emcees C2Cs Alec Hubbard and Alex Kronberger commenced the dinner by explaining the rules of the mess.

While dinner was being served, a surprise performance was provided by C2Cs Brett Hagan and Justin Johnson, where Hagan riffed on Taylor Swift in a rap for not saying yes to being his date for Ring Dance.

As dinner was nearing the end, it was finally time for the ring exchange. Per tradition, the majority of couples exchanged

their rings by kissing their dates, while other couples opted for a more modest exchange by placing the ring on each other’s fingers.

“When I looked down at my gorgeous ring, it hit me how close I was to graduating and how all of my hard work had finally paid off,” said C2C Lily Forlini. “It was a great feeling and a perfect fit.”

As cheering and excitement filled the dining hall, pictures were taken and hugs were given while cadets proudly showed off their shiny class rings. It was time to head over to the Arnold Hall Ballroom for thedance portion of Ring Dance. As the night drew to a close, couples filed out of the building and into buses and limousines, ready to usher attendees to various out-oftown locations to complete the Ring Dance weekend experience.

Described as one of the best weekends as a cadet at the Academy, the culminating event was unforgettable, gratifying, and a representation of commitment.

“The class ring symbolizes much more than being a part of the ‘Long Blue Line,’” C2C Averi Richert said. “It represents all the challenges that I never thought I could overcome, but have, and all the friends that pulled me up hills I couldn't get up alone.”

Walking past cadet rooms in Vandenberg and Sijan halls, especially after duty hours, it is not uncommon to see cadets showing school pride and wearing spirit gear...of other universities. With the geographic diversity present in the Cadet Wing, many cadets show their allegiance to schools other than the Academy with clothing, flags, pennants and other memorabilia. For most cadets it is a way to stay connected with friends and family back home, but for others there are bigger reasons at play.

C3C Shelly Spires of CS24 is probably the biggest supporter of the Alabama Crimson Tide football team in the Cadet Wing, and for good reason; her brother, Jacob Coker, was starting quarterback on the team this past season. Spires, a two-sport athlete at the Academy, said her family bonds around Alabama football during the fall and uses the team’s results to stay intouch.

There are also a number of cadets who are fans of schools they attended prior to coming to the Academy. One of these is C2C Andrew Klinger of CS16 who attended ROTC at Penn State for a year. Although Klinger isn’t a huge sports fan he still follows Penn State football and uses it to bond with

his friends from his previous school. Klinger faced a particularly difficult dilemma in his freshman year when the Penn State hockey team traveled to Colorado to face Air Force. He took a neutral approach to the weekend series.

“When people asked me who I was rooting for I told them it didn’t matter because my team would win either way,” said Klinger.

Both Spires and Klinger said friends were okay with their support of other universities as long as they don’t root against Air Force. Spires has actually recruited new Alabama fans in her time at the Academy.

“It’s really cool when people who aren’t necessarily Alabama fans are really supportive just because they know I have a sibling on the team,” she said.

However, even though many cadets throughout the wing cheer for other colleges, everyone in the wing can bond around Air Force sports.

“A great thing about rooting for Penn State is that they regularly play, and beat, Army and Navy, in a number of sports, and all cadets can cheer about that,” said Klinger. - C2C Phil Resnick

T-Bird CRASHES

One of the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds crash landed June 2 in a field near Colorado Springs, CO, following the U.S. Air Force Academy commencement, which was attended by President Barack Obama.

The F-16 Fighting Falcon, the #6 jet in the formation, crashed about 5 nautical miles south of Peterson AFB at approximately 1 p.m., according to a Air Combat Command news release.

The pilot ejected safely and underwent medical evaluation as a precaution, the release said.

The Air Force will perform a thorough investigation into the causes of the mishap, and those findings will be released when the investigation is complete.

Then you see that all of your friends are on the very same ride and once every time you go around you get to see your parents, smiling and waving at you, all of this making it worth it.

The best horse will run at the drivers well before it sees the shadow of a whip; the second best will run just before the whip reaches the skin; the third however, will run after the pain penetrates tothe marrow of its bones. If its impossible to be the best, we desire second best, but those who find great difficulties in practicing Zen will find more meaning in it. So sometimes I think that the best horse maybe the worse horse and the worst horse may be the best horse.

And this I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected. And this I must fight against: any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual. This is what I am and what I am about. Thank you to every family member and friend who has helped me to 6 get where I am now.

"AS A RUNNING BACK, IT TAKES

FIVE OFFENSIVE LINEMEN, A TIGHT END AND A FULLBACK AND POSSIBLY TWO WIDE RECEIVERS, IN ORDER TO MAKE MY JOB SUCCESSFUL"

- MARSHAWN LYNCH

With all five runners placing in the top 21 overall, the 26th-ranked Air Force men’s cross country team captured the Mountain West Oct. 30 for the Academy’s first team title since 2003. The women also had a strong showing at the Montreux Golf Club in Reno, claiming third to record the program’s best finish in 12 years.

Senior Patrick Corona and junior Kyle Eller finished second and third, respectively, in the 61-runner men’s 8K event - marking the first time in program history Falcons have claimed two of the top-three spots at the MW Championships. Corona, who also earned a second-place finish at last year’s meet, clocked a time of 26:30.41, while Eller finished on his heels with a time of 26:30.52.

Senior Dan Caddigan joined Corona and Eller in the top 10, placing 10th in a time of 27:01.65. Junior Matt Dorsey finished 13th at 27:05.73 and senior Daniel Shellhouse was 21st-place at 27:34.16.

“Today was an incredible team effort, but it was by no means our best day,” said Corona. “The veteran guys stepped up and got the job done, particularly Caddigan and Shellhouse.”

Air Force registered 49 points to win the men’s team title - a total that matches the second-lowest in program history. It is the second Mountain West title for the men (2003) and the fifth overall, as the Falcons claimed three titles as members of the Western Athletic Conference (1991, 1994, 1996).

Registering the highest finish ever by an Air Force female at a conference championship meet, Hannah Everson continued her superb senior season placing third out of 83 runners in the women’s 6k race with a time of 22:12.11.

“I wanted to run a smart race and see how high I could place,” said Everson. “This conference is packed with talent this season, and placing third was great.”

All five of Air Force’s scoring runners finished in the top 31. Junior Samantha Skold clocked in at 23:54.56 to finish 17th, while sophomores Carina Gillespie and Katie Burnham placed 23rd (24:17.97) and 27th (24:30.64), respectively. Junior Lindy Long rounded out scoring runners at 31st (24:48.26).

The women earned their second-lowest total (98) since joining the Mountain West. Third is their best mark since the conference grew to 11 teams. - Athletic Media Relations

The Air Force football team advanced to the Mountain West Conference Championship game for the first time since joining the conference. Although the team narrowly lost 27-24 to the San Diego State Aztecs, the MWC Mountain Division champions were tapped to play in the Armed Forces Bowl in Fort Worth, TX.

Facing a high-octane pass-happy offense led by future first-round NFL draft pick Jared Goff, the Falcons fell to the California Bears 55-36.

Karson Roberts threw for two touchdowns and had 69 yards rushing and another score for Air Force. Jacobi Owens, the leader of one of the nation’s best rushing attacks, had 83 yards and a touchdown. It was the Falcons’ 25th bowl appearance it’s eighth in the last nine seasons.

Air Force had seven players named to the all-Mountain West football team, according to an announcement today by the conference office. The Falcons had

four players named to the first team, one second-team honoree and two honorable mention selections.

Senior defensive lineman Alex Hansen and senior offensive lineman Sevrin Remmo, along with junior defensive backs Weston Steelhammer and Roland Ladipo were selected to the first team. Senior offensive lineman A.J. Ruechel was a second-team selection while junior running back Jacobi Owens and junior receiver Jalen Robinette were honorable mention.

Hansen leadsthe Falcons and is among the conference leaders in tackles for loss with 14.5 and quarterback sacks with 7.5. He has had at least one stop behind the line of scrimmage in 10 straight and 11 of 12 games this season. He has also blocked two kicks this season and five for his career which ranks fourth all-time and tops for defensive linemen in school history. This marks the second straight season Hansen has earned all-conference honors, as he was a second-team selection in 2014.

(Continuedfrom page 377)

Remmo has helped pave the way for the offense to rank second in the conference in total offense with a 462.1 per-game average. The Falcons lead the conference and rank third nationally in rushing with a 323.5 average. The Falcons lead the nation in sacks allowed with just two. This is the first all-conference honor for Remmo.

Steelhammer has been named to the first team for the second consecutive season, becoming the first Falcon since Reggie Rembert in 2009-10 to earn firstteam honors in back-to-back seasons.

Steelhammer leads the Falcons in tackles with 72 and interceptions with five. He also has 10 tackles for loss which is third on the team. He was named to the Thorpe Award and Lott Impact Trophy watch lists this season.

Ladipo is a first-time honoree in his first year as a starter for the Falcons. He is second on the team in tackles with 69 and leads the Mountain West and is ninth nationally in pass breakups with 16. He ranks second on the team in interceptions with three. Ladipo recorded his first-career interception and returned it for his first-

career touchdown in Air Force’s seasonopening win over Morgan State.

Ruechel is a first-time all-conference honoree.The Air Force offense is second in the conference and 35th nationally in scoring with a 34.4 average. The team’s 34.4 points per game, rushing average and time of possession (32:44) are the best in the Troy Calhoun era (2007-present).

Owens and Robinette have earned honorable mention honors for the second straight year. Owens leads the Falcons in rushing for the second straight year with 857 yards. He needs just 143 yards to record his second-straight 1,000-yard season. He moved to fullback the last six games, due to injuries at the position, and has averaged 92.2 yards and recorded three 100-plus yard games. Robinette leads the Falcons in receiving yards with 534 and is second on the team with 26 catches. His 27.2 yards-per-catch average is the secondbest mark in school history. He had career highs of seven catches for 210 yards earlier this season vs. Utah State, the third-most receiving yards in school history. - Athletic Media Relations

Men's GYMNASTICS

Highlighted by a mnner-up finish on the still rings from senior Denis Aurelius, three members of the Air Force men’s gymnastics team earned All-America distinction at the NCAA Championships April 16 in Columbus, OH.

Aurelius, sophomore Arinn Wade and junior Tim Wang all earned podium finishes at Ohio State’s St. John Arena - marking the first time in program history Air Force has accounted for more than one All-American in a single year.

Aurelius, who grew up just outside of Columbus, was the first competitor on the still rings. Scoring a 15.300 - his second-highest score of the season and the third-highest of his career - Aurelius held the overall lead for the next 42 performances, before Stanford’s Dennis Zaremski edged him on the night’s final routine.

Recording the Falcons’ best individual finish at the NCAA Championships, Aurelius is the third gymnast in program history to earn All-America distinction on the still rings,joining Greg Stine (2008) and Joel Miller (1992).

Wade and Wang became the first Academy teammates to earn All-America honors on the same event, as they both placed within the top-eight of their signature event - the pommel horse. Wade scored a 15.200 - his secondhighest score of the season - to tie with Illinois’ Logan Bradley for fourth, while Wang reached the 15-point mark for the fifth time in seven meets to finish seventh (15.000).

Wade’s fourth-place finish equals thebest pommel horse placement by an Air Force gymnast, as he matched Wang’s fourth-place mark from 2014. With his second top-eight finish in three years, Wang becamethe first Academy gymnast to ever capture multiple All-America honors in the same event and just the second to earn more than one award in a career (Stine, still rings and all-around, 2008).

With the addition ofAurelius and Wade to the Falcons’ all-time list of All-Americans, Air Force has had 11 individuals earn All-America honors a total of 13 times. - Athletic Media Relations

emotional finish for our seniors, they went in with big expectations and left it all on the line. Our freshmen went in with realistic goals and shot to their full potential in a national event. I'm proud of the team and how solid they have been all year.”

Sophomore Andrew Tien found the back of the net 50 seconds into overtime to lift the top-seeded Falcons past Richmond 9-8 May 7 in the 2016 Southern Conference Men’s Lacrosse Championship at Robins Stadium in Richmond, VA.

The 12th-ranked Falcons, a SoCon newcomer in 2016, were 15-2 in the regular season and earned the league’s automatic berth to the NCAA Championship.

Tien’s unassisted sudden-victory score gave the San Diego, CA, native a hat trick to go along with an assist. Tien’s hat trick is the second on the season and marked his third four-point game in the last four games. Sophomore Nick Hruby also tallied a hat trick for Air Force, and freshman Cameron Carter scored

two goals on the day to lead the Falcons to the victory.

Junior attacker J.P. Forester netted four scores to lead Richmond, while teammate Jean-Luc Chetner scored a pair and assisted a pair in the losing effort.

It was Air Force that opened the game’s scoring, as Carter found the back of the net from close range at the12:36 mark of the first period. The Spiders countered with a 2-0 spurt. Air Force’s Chris Walsch knotted the contest at 2-all with 5:05 to play in quarter one by firing a shot that made the ball settle and eventually roll past the goal line.

Richmond stretched its advantage to 4-2 in the second quarter. Hruby provided a big response, pulling the Falcons even at 4-all by (Continued on page 420)

Tien’s overtime heroics were set in a rainy and wild fourth quarter. Hruby sparked an Air Force assault with a diving score in front of the goal at the 13:01 mark. Carter then scored off an assist from Walsch 37 seconds later, and Tien gave the Falcons an 8-5 lead by firing one past Richmond goalkeeper Benny Pugh with 10:03 left to play. Walsch’s goal and two assists set the Air Force modern era single season points record (62).

Gouchoe, the SoCon’s Defensive Player of the Year, tallied 10 saves and a .556 save percentage on the day for Air Force. He earned Most Outstanding Player honors for the tournament.

Riding a 15-game win streak, the Falcons’ season came to an end at

the hands of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish May 14, in South Bend, IN. Air Force fell 15-7, in the first round of the 2016 NCAA tournament. The 2016 season marks the Falcons’ longest win streak and best season to date. Air Force finalizes their season at 15-3 overall with an undefeated mark in the SoCon.

Hruby, Walsch and Brown led the team with two points apiece; Hruby and Walsch netted two goals while Brown made a goal and an assist. Four Falcons logged goals on the game. Notre Dame outshot Air Force, 37-30, and picked up 28 ground balls to the Falcons’ 17. TheFalcons won nine of 26 face offs. Gouchoe logged nine saves while Dossmade 12. - Athletic Media Relations

Senior Profile

An amazing week of track and field competition concluded with the Air Force men capturing their third Mountain West title in five years May 14, in Clovis, CA. The Falcons combined for six event titles and four Academy records during the final day of action at the outdoor conference championships.

“This was the most overwhelming day I have ever been a part of,” head coach Ralph Lindeman said after a day that saw Air Force score in every event it contested. “It’s the most amazing performance I’ve ever had by a team. They did an amazing job. I’ve never seen anything like it.”

The Falcons kicked off Championship Saturday with a bang, as the 4x100-meter relay of senior Gavin McHenry, junior Zach Johnson, sophomore Robbie Anderson and classmate Jamiel Trimble successfully defended the Falcons’ Mountain West title in that race with a blazing time of 39.92.

That quartet would continue to light up the scoreboard at Veterans Memorial Stadium May 15, as they combined for eight scoring finishes in three events.

Trimble claimed his first individual title

just 40 minutes later, repeating as the conference champion in the 110-meter hurdles.

Finishing with a career-best time of 13.80, Trimble posted the second-fastest time in MW Championship Meet history, matched an Academy recordthat had stood since 2004 and equaled the third-fastest time in conference history.

The sophomore picked up his third title of the day, as he won the 200-meter dash with an Academy-record time of 20.56. His victory in the 200-meter led the Falcons to four of the top-seven scoring finishes in that event, as Johnson (21.45), Anderson (21.46) and McHenry (21.58) finished fifth, sixth and seventh in the event standings.

Saturday’s dominance in the sprinting events continued in the 400-meter dash, as sophomore Tyler Koss became just the third Falcon to claim a title at that distance. Koss, who also posted the fastest time during qualifying, clocked a career-best time of 47.18 to win the conference title by 0.36 seconds.

With a clearance of 18’0V2”, senior Dylan Bell captured the pole vault title to mark the fifth straight year that a member of the Air Force squad has been atop the medal (Continued on page 428)

The men received a staggering 23 points from the javelin throw, as Air Force finished second through fifth. Sophomore Donny Crabill paced the quartet with a runner-up finish (196’6”), while junior Taylor Hulslander finished third with a throw of 193’ 10”.

Senior Grant Hamilton finished second with an Academy record in the shot put on Friday. He repeated the performance the next day unleashing a program-best distance of 187’5” to take second in the discus throw.

Saturday also saw sophomore John Reynolds earn his third medal in just over 24 hours, as he placed second in the triplejump. Reynolds, who won the high jump and finished second in the long jump on Friday, registered a distance of 49'33A” to finish second in the triple jump Saturday.

Air Force amassed 202 points during the week to capture its third Mountain West title. The Falcons, which won the indoor title by just one point, posted a 26-point margin for its outdoor title. The conference title capped off the “triple crown,” as the men earned

Mountain West titles in cross country, indoor track/field and outdoor track/field during the 2015-16 academic year. It is just the second time since 2008-09 that one team claimed all three conference titles.

On the women’s side, sophomore Shelley Spires led the women’s team with a conference title in the high jump - marking the second time in three years Air Force has claimed a MW championship inthat event. Spires was perfect on first attempt clearances during her run, as she won the event with a height of 5’9*4”.

The women earned multiple scoring finishes in the 1,500- and 5,000-meter events. Sophomores Carina Gillespie and Giulianna Vessa finished fourth (4:27.01) and sixth (4:30.99), respectively, in the 1,500-meter run, while senior Hannah Everson and junior Lindy Long placed fifth (16:32.87) and sixth (16:40.72), respectively, in the 5000-meter run. Long, who medaled in the 10,000-meter run just two days earlier, clocked the thirdfastest time in Academy history.

Senior Angelea Ross capped off her Mountain West career with a season-best distance of 38’83A” to finish eighth. The women tied Wyoming for ninth, with 35 points. - Athletic Media Relations

MOUNTAINEERING

The goal of the Mountaineering Club is to help new and experienced climbers leam and build skills on all types of climbing. This includes hiking, backpacking, rock climbing, ice climbing, and occasionally all of these at once. While many people feel these sports are unusual and out of the norm, this club focuses on getting cadets to experience the outdoors in new and challenging ways.

Hiking and backpacking are two of the most endurance-focused activities the mountaineering club does. They take cadets to places where very few people have ever gone and expose them to challenges they might not ever face such as waiting out storms in a shaking tent hoping it doesn’t fall apart all while enjoying a cup of hot chocolate and playing cards.

Rock climbing is one of the most popularactivities the mountaineering club focuses on. The club often trains at the rock wall in the Cadet Gym. Cadets using the rock wall share a common bond of wanting to continually push each other to become more proficient. Some do this through working on increasingly hard routes; others do it to conquer their fear of heights. Despite spending the majority of time indoors (twice a week), the mountaineering club members pride themselves on their ability to climb confidently and safely outside.

“Being outdoors is great, but it brings a

whole new dynamic to rock climbing and tests your mental fortitude,” said C1C James Cardinal. “No longer are you in the safely padded practice room, your mistakes can have drastic consequences.”

Ice climbing is one of the most challenging activities the club does. Very few who come to the Academy have experience ice climbing; however, almost everyone who climbs ice immediately falls in love with the activity. Ice climbing is different not only because of the ice, but because of the gear that is used. It uses many sharp objects that, when climbing, can often make one think twice about falling.

“Personally, ice climbing is thebest type of climbing due to the skill and finesse that it requires,” Cardinal said. “Ice climbing isn't hard due to small holds or large moves between the holds. Every bit of ice is a hold, however ice can break off and can only be climbed with ice tools and crampons. You can’t just grab any piece of ice and the route continually changes as the day goes by and the ice melts.”

This constantly changing environment keeps the climber on their toes, literally. All of these types of climbing bring new challenges and require various skills. While climbing indoors is good training, there is no substitute to the pine scented challenges that the outdoors brings. - Polaris staff

Asmall group of fearless cadets compete every year by strapping on to a bull and hanging on for an eightsecond ride that most people would never consider.

Many cadets are unaware the Academy has a rodeo team or that you can have the opportunity to ride a bull. The rodeo team recognizes bull riding can be dangerous but many find that is just why they love to do it.

“The experience of riding a bull is like the combination of feelings you have before jumping out of an airplane, diving off the 10-meter and going into your first boxing graded review,” said C3C Bret Wagner.

The team practices at the Tuff E Nuff Rodeo Company in Ramah, CO, an hour east of the Academy, where they have a wide range of practice equipment and can ride live bulls twice a week. Most competitions are held in Wyoming. The cadets spend a lot of their own

money to participate in these competitions.

“Riding a bull is the most thrilling experience I have ever had in my life,” said C3C Chris Graham. “The last bull I got on immediately bust out of the chute and started spinning. I quickly dug my spurs into his side and held on for a good six seconds before being flung to the ground.”

Many club members said they never feel the ground when they hit it. “Time slows down slower than a doolie running the strips,” said Graham. “Then the next thing you know you are on the ground and only thinking ‘I have to move.’”

Being on the rodeo team gives cadets the chance to make friends and share with them an experience that they can take with them for the rest of their lives. It teaches cadets to fight through to the very end and to push through the pain and struggle with a winning spirit. - C2C Clark Jones

RATTEX

This year RATTEX has been very active with a full schedule of events across the board, even in areas that no one may realize. The weekly movie showings that are mostly attended by the four degrees are set up and supported by RATTEX. They also support the Bluebards acting troupe with the technical support of lights, microphones, sound effects and props/sets, keeping them on their toes during the two biannual shows.

This year also marks a huge increased impact at tailgates where the club stays busy. RATTEX plays music, holds dance contests and gives away prizes before each game.

RATTEX has been on call for cadetonly events, including concerts like country artist Darryl Worley in addition to many other activities organized by Arnold Hall.

“The shear breadth of activities is what I find most appealing,” said C3C Josh Roseler. “Everyone has the opportunity to find their own niche, as personal or technical as they want.”

Throughout Basic Cadet Training, as well as the school year, the club lends a hand supporting behind the scenes for briefings, helping with microphones, slides and setup as well as getting to meet some interesting people including Medal of Honor recipients and leaders of the Air Force and the Academy.

“RATTEX has brought about a ton of unique opportunities,” said C2C Gareth Price. “This year I was able to work with Gen Mark Welsh III, Air Force Chief of Staff and was even coined by him, which was really awesome.” - C2C Alexander Fulton

CYCLING

The cycling team creates an opportunity for cadets to pursue their passion of riding bikes.

Involved in road cycling, mountain biking, track cycling, and cyclo-cross, the team trains year-round to compete in the Rocky Mountain Collegiate Cycling Conference and qualify for the USA Cycling National Championships.

“Personally, I think it’s great that we get to show other colleges in the state and across the nation what the Academy is all about,” said cocaptain C2C Derek Hall.

Having lost six seniors graduates with the Class of 2015, the team brought on several young and talented riders. Individuals are welcome to ride and race for the team as either a recreational or competitive rider. Regardless of weather conditions the team rides around Colorado Springs and Rocky Mountain Region. For fourthclassmen, the cycling team provides a great way to train and explore the local area.

In the fall, the team had riders qualify to race at the nationallevel for both track and mountain biking. Hall and C3C Tyler Rickett represented USAFA at the track nationals, which were held at the U.S. Olympic Training Center Velodrome in Colorado Springs. In October, at Snowshoe Mountain, WV, C1C Caitlin Sullivan brought home four top-five finishes at collegiate mountain bike nationals, including third place overall.

One of the more impressive feats from nationals featured Sullivan single-handedly representing Air Force and beating Army West Point in points despite AWP sending seven riders.

In November the team hosted the Army Cycling Team for a mountain-bike race during Army weekend. This was the first year a mountain bike racewas held between Air Force and Army, and the teams now plan to continue the tradition every year.

“While it is not an officially sanctioned event there is no better experience then beating another service academy on your home turf,” said Hall.

Many cadets find solace in dancing at the Academy. For many years the Academy has sponsored fusion, blues and salsa dancing held weekly in the Arnold Hall Ballroom. Dancing helps relieve stress and block out the many difficulties in cadets’ daily lives.

“I love going to blues dancing because it is a great place to meet people,” said C3C Anne Stamer. “It’s how I met and became close to my friends outside of squad.”

With the help from all classes, dance partners teach all kinds of moves to each other in a professional environment. This is a great opportunity for cadets to learn how to teach one on one and to improve on a lifetime profession.

“Salsa dancing is a language in itself andthe fun that comes with all the movements makes you want to stay on thedance floor,” said C1C David Sanchez. “It’s an activity that you can participate in most of your life.”

This year, the Academy approved a swing dancing club. After gaining approval from the Cadet Extra-Curricular Activity Board in May of 2015, the Cadet Swing Dance Club is in “full swing” with its first year as a club. With an overwhelming interest from cadets and teachers, the club practices twice a week where dancers learn new styles of swing dancing. The styles include; East Coast Swing, Shag Swing Dancing, Lindy Hop, Charleston, and West Coast Swing.

Currently the club is recreational, but in the future the swing dancers hope to become a competitive club and to dance at competitions within the local area. The club has started practicing for competitions by holding their own dances here on the weekends.

ARCHERY

The Cadet Archery Club is open to cadets of all levels of experience. There are numerous opportunities for members to improve on their own or as a team. Archery helps build selfdiscipline, patience, and promotes a sense of calm. Archery is based in form and style. The club helps cadets refine these skills. These skills help build focus on tasks without panic and minimal stress. Archery stresses precision and directed force, which relates to the Air Force mission.

“I love archery club because it is a great way to be outside in Colorado’s beautiful weather,” said C2C Dana Call. “I am surprised with how big our range is compared to others.”

The club is fully equipped to accommodate cadets without their own gear as well. At the Archery Range where members meet, the clubhouse has bows, arrows, quivers, armguards, gloves, and anything cadets might need for shooting. The range itself is one of the largest in the area and includes four walking ranges, a static range, and a 3-D walking range. These ranges encompass more than ten acres of Academy land, and it is all available to cadets.

“This club teaches patience and discipline,” said C2C Allyson Wells. “It’s really a unique opportunity to learn a different skill that isn’t necessarily offered at a lot of other schools.”

In building on the abilities of cadets, archery also relieves a lot of stress from being on the hill. The Archery Club also gives cadets the feeling of being off of the hill without leaving base. It is a nearby outlet that is available to all cadets. The Archery Club also hosts tournaments for cadets to show off their skills.

“Having a place to go outside of the cadet area and be outside in the forest, gives cadets a chance to clear their head after a long week of academies and military training,” said Wells. “Sometimes you even forget you are still on Academy grounds.” - C2C Christopher Grove

TAEKWONDO

Taekwondo loosely translates to “the way of hand and foot.” It is one of the few martial art styles present at the Olympics. Taekwondo teaches unarmed combat for self-defense and involves the skillful application of punching, kicking, blocking and parrying with both hands and feet.

While there are various forms of Taekwondo taught around the nation, the Academy taekwondo club follows the World Taekwondo Federation's structure and puts an emphasis on jumping and spinning kicks. Members practice kicking, sparring, proper form and technique for demonstrations, called poomsae, and board breaks.

The club represents the Academy in competitions with local taekwondo schools and against other universities in Colorado. The club also has inter-service competitions against Navy and Army.

“The Taekwondo club has allowed me to find a close-knit group of people with the same interest as me,” said C4C Gina Arrabito. “This club has allowed me to find an outlet for when I feel homesick and has allowed me to experience some of the normalcy I had at home.”

This team promotes balance, agility, stamina, self-defense, and general fitness. It highlights the importance of training in a respectful environment while allowing cadet to closely bond with their teammates. The training is a good extension of combative classes as it teaches cadets how to protect themselves it a situation where both parties are standing and able to move.

“Taekwondo teaches us to have respect, selfdiscipline, integrity, perseverance, and an indomitable spirit,” said C4C Vanessa Campbell. “Having this club at the Academy helps advocate these tenets not only in the sport, but in everyday life.”

So often cadets turn the radio dial, escaping from the same bland top 40 songs blasting through their speakers, hoping to find a radio station that has less commercials, more substantive music, and DJs worth listening to. KAFA radio is that station, the only station in Colorado Springs with no commercials, the most alternative rock, and some of the best shows in the area all put on by the Academy.

KAFA radio was founded in 1964, playing indie rock fully run by cadets, some of whom are now teaching at Academy. Cadets from any class are able to come to the studio and hone their sound, enjoying the music and free airtime.

Cadets usually host three-hour time slots throughout the week. They are able to express their personalities to a large audience both online and in the community. It provides a sense of unity with Colorado Springs and those grads that were DJs in their times, rocking out to the same type of music we play now.

“My vision for KAFA is to simply be the best Alt Rock station in Colorado Springs,” said Chris Cohn, KAFA advisor. “Our FM signal broadcasts all over Colorado Springs, not just the Air Force Academy campus which gives us an amazing opportunity to be a true competitor in the Southern Colorado radio market. We will continue to refine our music, build our air-talent and create entertaining content until we are considered among the best.”

Some of the cadet DJs on the airwaves inelude: Evan Loosen, Rachel Curtis, Phil Resnick, Ciarra McCarthy, Bryce O'Connell, Krista Kelly, Mark Demore, Victor Lee, Tim Tyson, Greg Fox, Eric Wardner, Michael Bastian and Lauren Ossolinski.

KAFA 97.7 has been a legacy for quite some time, though unknown by many, the music, the shows, and hilarious DJs provide USAFA with an incredible arena to showcase the more human side to all that is the Academy. - C2C Krista Kelly

PACIFIC RIM

The Pacific Rim club promotes and unites various Asian American and Pacific Island cultures at the Academy through dance, music, professional and public outreach activities while encouraging ethnic diversity. The club provides cadets the opportunity to learn more about cultural aspects such as dance and various food traditions.

“The club does not just limit itself to cadets that are Pacific Islanders or come from a Pacific Rim heritage,” said C1C Cobi Brady. “I have been able to participate in luncheons where I have been able to learn dancesand partake in their delicious food.”

As a cultural affinity club at a service academy, Pacific Rim strives to provide leadership opportunities, which develop the character and work ethic exhibited by military officers. The club teaches many different forms of historic dances, traditional ceremonies, makes cultural foods and has meetings for support of all cultures. Pacific Rim frequently has meetings and luncheons to include cadetsand permanent party members of the Academy.

“I love dancing for the club and showing others how to dance,” said C2C Annie Amosa. “This is a huge part of my culture and it is great to show others what it means to me.”

Additionally, cadet dancers in the club participate in Luau’s and dance contests in the Colorado Springs area, which sparks a sense of competition and representing the Academy’s appreciation for culture and diversity. Furthermore, the club strives to provide a familiar and supportive environment for cadets who are living a great distance away from home. -

Oh, the Places You'll Co!

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference - Robert Frost Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other. - JFK

Zachary -

In elementary school you were always awarded the “diligence" award. That same trait has paid offfor you in spades. Your continual efforts and choices in life have made us so proud. You have not chosen the more traveled road and, yes, it has made all the difference. We know that these last four years have been tough, but you have not onlyfinished, you have excelled. You could have taken the easier path through the Academy, but that's not you. Now, here you are on the cusp ofgraduation and heading to grad school. You are a natural leader and with that comes great responsibility. AFIT awaits you.

Love - Mom, Dad, and Madison

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future - Jer. 29:11

"Matters of the heart are imPORTANT TO ME. ALL THIS MATERIALISM AND ALL THE MONEY AND WEALTH ARE THINGS THAT YOU DON'T TAKE TO THE GRAVE. ONE DAY YOU HAVE IT. "THE NEXT DAY you don't."

- Shari Arison

There's real value in protecting our values. And no single technology ensures our freedom and what we value like the F-35. Its 5th Generation stealth capabilities make it nearly impossible to detect, and its sensor fusion provides unprecedented situational awareness that offers unique advantages for command and control. Because the point isn't to win in battle, it's to win before it ever takes place.
