There is not a human born Who's born completely free
Without some struggle and some pain To be all he can be.
Four years can be a long long time And growing hard to do
I'll be your friend if you'll be mine And we will see it through.
We will sweat and we will march And we will greet and brace
To nothing will our honor take a secondary place.
I want to stretch my legs and mind
So much to see and try
There is no telling what I'll find the day I learn to fly.
I want the earth beneath my wing; Another point of view
A challenge is a special thing that I alone can do.
By following I learn to lead and love my fellow man
My duty comes before my need it tells me what I am.
I take a step when I cannot and you must do the same
Always we must practice as We mean to play the game.
Only when the race is run and, time to learn is gone
When we've done, and won it all Will we have slipped the bonds. by Joyce Rothleder, '82

The transition to Academy life was too abrupt and too broad to be encountered all at once. It had to be broken up and taken one day at a time. With each day, however, came a new set of obstacles.
Some obstacles were designed. The Air Force song, aircraft, and quotes were more academic. The military side included chins,tucks, and shoes. The physical program emphasized morning runs, the PFT, Recondo, the Leadership Reaction Course, the Valley Sweepstakes and Field Day.
Since Beast was a very physically demanding program, it's usually remembered for this aspect. One of the major, physically taxing parts of Beast was of course the "O" course.
Preliminary: Double-time for a minute or two down a dusty road just to get to the O-Course in full fatigues, baseball caps, and sneakers. You're greeted by a couple of cadre in T-shirts and black berets. They order you through warm-up exercises, always in view of that pleasant, reminding, starting-line sign "Hell's half Acre."
Start: "Basics, you'll form two lines in front of the starting sign for my Obstacle Course "Air Force" (gotta say that every time you hear "Obstacle Course") "You have two minutes to do that. Do you think you basics can handle that?" Then, you wait impatiently, blindly cheering
for your classmates as they start.
Obstacle #1 Slightly flexible but fixed logs crossing a stagnant pond, 12 feet long; takes three steps at a run. If you walk, or jump onto the far bank, or breathe wrong, you're directed by the cadre on the far side to wade back through the sandy, chest-high murk and do it 'til you do it right.
My turn came up and my log was wet from the runners before me. I almostlost my footing but caught my balance in time to launch off to the other bank. The "friendly" cadre who had directed me to start (with an indignant Fonzie-like thumb gesture) wasn't extremely impressed, so I
trudged back through the mire and did betterthe second time. Cry "Air Force" after finishing each obstacle.
Obstacle #2 Now sloshing up a short but inclined slope to #2, I had to face the obvious psychological barrier of dragging a 150 pound dripping-wet body through a "tough, even if you do it dry," Obstacle Course (Air Force). Number 2 involves vaulting one log, rolling under another (Colorado dust tastes as good as it looks, on wet fatigues, no less), vault a third and under a fourth (rather
Some were apprehensive, some were confident; but they gave it their all on ''Hells Half Acre."
low). Fair enough. Air Force.
Obstacle #3 Proceed around a bend and double-time along the side of a respectably-sloped hill (wonderful for the ankles) in my muddy suit as I wait in line for the rope-ladder climb. Up and over the top-bar (four feet wide, upon which is perched another cadre member). Over the top and down. I did okay. Air Force.
Obstacle #4 Down a dip and around to another easy-if-you're-dry spot. Shimmy across parallel bars, 20 feet long. Fair enough, but I found myself panting heavy-like at #4 of a 14-obstacle Obstacle Course (Air Force). It was an awesome thought as I finished #4. Air Force.
Obstacle #5 (a winner) Tired and soaked, I approach the belly under literally a belly-down crawl under 40 or 50 feet of camouflaged fencing ranging from two to one foot high. Of course, in the middle, there's an open spot where: A. You can breathe, B. You get to roll over a log to a two-foot drop, and C. The "friendly" cadre can see that you didn't die under the obstacle. All done. Air Force. But I'm really draggin'.
Obstacle #6 A short run to a barely-inclined-forward log wall, where you climb over (only eight or nine feet) and then drop to your feet. Air Force (need an extra one here). Run across fixed logs (over another mud pond) to the far side. Air Force.
Obstacle #7 Looking forward I begin to feel the weight of my wet suit even more as I approach a dozen or so ropes, perpendicular to my path, parallel to (and about a footand-a-half off) the ground. I yank my feet up, stepping between each without touching. Very tiring stuff. Air Force.
Obstacle #8 Now the pleasant, scenic trip up "Cut Hill," not even a quarter mile, but not a fun prospect with Lake Erie gushing in your pockets and sand in your teeth and nails. As I finish the trek (with two of my squadron cadre along the way to cheer me) I reach the ladder bars that I have to cross hand-over-hand. That's not too bad, but you have to jump for the first one (eight and one half feet up) from three or four feet away. After missing the leap twice, a sneering cadre sent me down Cut Hill
a way, so I could come back and do it right. Down and UP that hill again. Darn. Well, I did it and I crossed 'em.
Quite the drag. Air Force.
Obstacle #9 A sharp downhill from here, at the top of which was my element sergeant (a girl, one each) rooting me on. See, it's downhill so you get momentum to leap an eight-foot long swamp, landing on two feet for safety or you freestyle
Agility is the name of the game for this obstacle.

back (fat chance) and try again, from the top of the hill, of course. I made it, dropping to my knees. Air Force. Water in me, water hazard #9 behind, but water still ahead at #13. Good deals!
Obstacle #10 Tough for a tired, wet Basic. It's a log, three feet off the ground that you have to cross from underneath with hands and feet locked above. Most of us could only inch-worm down the length of it with a cheerleader (the resident cadre) asking you, the whole way, if you're looking for sympathy or something. Nice guy. Gasp. Air Force.
Obstacle #11 A short jog to a three-board, zig-zag, balance beam. No, the heavy suit did not help keep me on. Yes, I had to do it twice, but the cadre was nice: no haze, just do it again. Wheeze.
Obstacle #12 Over and under five parallel logs. Over the first, straddle and swing under the second so you snag the third with the back of your heel, struggle up and over the top, straddle the fourth, slide under to the fifth. 1 surprised myself how well I made it through. Air (crack in the voice) Air Force.
Obstacle #13 Appropriately numbered. Uh-oh. Jump over a 12-foot stagnant bog, by leaping,
grasping a dangling rope and (hopefully) swinging to the far side. I did it easy in practice, but, of course, I wasn't wringing wet and about to die. A lot of cadre, including my element leader were there, so I gave it a go. Full speed (which didn't amount to a whole heckava lot at this point), leap, grab, swing, not far enough. Don't let go, swing back, hit ground, only to meet that scowling cadreabove me pointing back into the water. The inevitable was overwhelming. I almost died, clawing out of the neck-high, watery pit. I sludged my way back, picked up the rope, leaped, grabbed and fell short again.
Time for a little reckoning here folks. I was in the muck. I was cramped, muddy, panting, silty. Not only did I have to get out (a project in itself) but I had to do this obstacle, the hurdles at #14, and then finish.
They say you reach inside yourself and find something there to pull you through. I'm sorry, that's just so much buffalo bagels; they don't tell you it's possible to get too tired to reach.
But in all the encouraging cheers from the sideline, my element leader had the way to beat the system: "Come on, turkey, try another rope."
Now let's be serious about this: standing in neck-high water in an obstacle that already beat you twice
(when you still had the little energy that you had just lost), and you still have further to go, after you climb out, (IF you climb out), then the (unlikely) possibility that you just plain got stuck with a bum rope makes pretty good logic.
What the heck, I sure couldn't do any worse.
I clutched the sandbags and dragged my body out. Pretending to run I went back, ran, grabbed the new rope, and I realized the sidelines were cheering. My feet barely caught the other side I lurched forward onto my knees and let the rope go. Holy Cow, I'm almost done. Cheers. Air Force.
Obstacle #14 Run four short hurdles. One foot, one-and-a-half, and two. Run. Jump. Hurdle. Then a hundred yards to the classmate-lined finish line. I ran (Lord knows how). I crossed. I was shouldered by two guys I never met before. That was nice, 'cause I felt pity. I didn't even want to drink. The nurse nailed me with some smelling salts. That didn't help a whole lot.
I eventually staggered back to the dorm with another hurtin' basic, escorted by a Firstie. I finally managed to bring up lunch, and besides a splitting headache and a dizzy sensation, I almost felt like a new basic.
Let me tell ya, folks, this is one heck of a way to spend a summer!
Sit ups a part of the PFT. Out for a "Morning Run" with the cadre.
Ground training was finally over and after those twelve grueling hours of suspended agony, hundreds of "HIT IT!'"s and PLF's and seven jumps from the34-foot tower, I was ready to get into the air for real.
I knew my procedures cold. I practiced my count constantly in everything I did. It became involuntary. I even driftedoff to sleep at night to the thought of arch thousand, look thousand, pull thousand, check thousand ..."
The sun was rising on a beautiful Colorado day and the mountains glowed red in the sun's blazing rays against a backdrop of the clearest of blue skies. From the bus window I eagerly scanned the drop zone, almost hoping to see the wind sock

standing straight out (knowing it wouldn't be) and there it was, breathing lazily in the cool morning breeze a perfect day for jumping.
Waiting on the bench with all the gear on was rather uncomfortable but I felt secure sandwiched between the main and the reserve containers. I kept my hands clasped securely over the reserve ripcord. My heart began pounding as the jumpmaster barked out "Stand up!" One final pin-check and we filed on to the airplane, a beautiful, "perfectly good," blue and white Twin Otter.
Strapped into my seat on the plane, I looked back and forth along the row of students across from me, trying to read the myriad of emotions written on their faces. Fear, excitement, apprehension, anticipation appeared in succession, and all at once. My heart still pounded as the plane lifted off and began climbing.
"Seatbelts off!" shouted the jumpmaster. Closing my eyes, I concentrated on the exit procedures, the count, emergency procedures. "Cover your reserves! The door is coming open!" the jumpmaster's voice again pierced the fog of concentration I had immersed myself in.
Just as the rush of wind hit me and I looked out of the gaping hole that
was the door, something else hit me the crazy reality of what I was actually doing. "I am going to jump out of this thing" I said to myself incredulously. "I am going to voluntarily fling my body out into that vast expanse of air out there, leave my comfortable seat right here to go right out that door and fall toward the ground the ground?! Oh my
gosh, yes, there's the ground waaaay down there WHAT AM I DOING?!!"
"Stand by!" commanded the jumpmaster confidently. Wasn't he scared sitting right there by that big, open door? and the way he leans out I know he's going to fall out!
I saw the first student in the door "GO!" and the student was gone! I watched the first few disappear and soon it was my turn.
"Smile and look up at the airplane," the jumpmasteryelled to me over the noise of the wind by the open door. "I'll be waving at you."
"Are you kidding?" I thought to myself as I forced what I knew was more of a terrified grin than a smile.
I retreated to a fierce concentration on the procedures, that I knew would stop my mind from racing, calm my pounding heart.
"GO!" And without hesitation I dove out
For the first few moments I heard nothing, saw nothing, and felt strangely out of control. "Arch! Arch! ARCH!!" The words exploded in my mind. I obeyed the commands and it was like magic I stabled out. "Hey,
this is all right! Oh my gosh! I forgot to count!!"
But this is where all of that practice paid off. My acquired, involuntary counting mechanisms must have taken over in the initial confusion and I picked it up. "Arch thousand! Look thousand! PULL thousand!" I screamed, following my own commands. "Check thousand!" was followed by a tremendous but comforting and welcome jolt opening shock. And there I was, hanging some three thousand feet above the ground. Just me and this big round canopy of flimsy nylon the mountains behind me, the sun shining on my face, dew glistening on the grass
so far below "I DID IT!!! ALL RIGHT!" whew!
The remaining four jumps were no less exhilarating and every bit as frightening. But it was so gloriously, fantastically fun!! I even actually saw the jumpmaster waving at me as I fell away from the plane.
At our graduation ceremony, as the jumpmaster pinned my wings on, I shook his hand proudly. This had been one of the most exciting, challenging and worthwhile things I had ever done in my life.

By the time we graduate we all will have participated in one of the toughest programs the Academy has to offer. SERE: four seemingly innocent letters that when strung together can cause a flooding of vivid memories ranging fromthe nightmarish to the truly enjoyable.
Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape. Those words constitute a challenging three weeks. It is a program that is dreaded throughout the 4° year, endured during the third class summer and remembered for the rest of our lives.
A fully accredited Air Force program for rated personnel, we all get the chance to participate regardless of our rated qualification.
SERE: The story behind it:
SERE has been with the Air Force for many years in fact, ever since its creation. General Curtis LeMay introduced the training for his bomber aircrews after World War II. Today, a modern version ofthat early technique is in operation all year at Fairchild AFB in Washington. Similar to the Fairchild program, SERE came to USAFA in 1967. So far the SERE program at the Academy has saved the Air Force several million dollars.
For cadets, it is a tremendous learning experience. The benefits increase as the effort put into the program by the students and instructors increase. SERE is what you make it.
The survival and evasion training occurs in Saylor Park located in the forests behind Pike's Peak. The woods have relatively few touches of
civilization. The Resistance and Escape training takes place in a Geneva Convention Code laboratory near USAFA. There are times, however, when one feels thousands of miles from Colorado.
SERE is a collage of new experiences. Whether savoring the taste of rabbit stew or crudely made sausage made with newly learned skills in static camp, or climbing ridges on hunger weakened legs while blending camouflaged into the forest, SERE is a program we won't soon forget.

In the words of C1C Ricardo Aguilar, "UDT makes Recondo and Airborne look easy." That is probably the best description for this tough and demanding program. UDT condenses the full Seal Training course into three weeks of divisional experience.
The first week deals with the academic and physical demands of UDT, while the second and third weeks pertain to the applicability of UDT skills without ever stopping the physical workout. The second week is mainly demolition and basic water skills training to prepare the cadets for the diving exercises and to make them safety conscious. The third week consists of actual maneuvers and the long awaited dive training. This final week ends in a grand finale of 48 hour mock combat called, coincidentally "Hell Week."

There's something about that Georgia summer that makes 'em go
Everyone aboard the C-141 elbows their neighbors and repeats the jumpmaster's command in unison, while all you do is sit bolt upright with fearful energy, wondering if you are as nervous as you were that first day you arrived. The stifling heat, endless forms, thousands upon thousands of grunts you never thought a blue uniform could look so good.
You recall your first introduction to the spartan quarters; how the food was a pleasant surprise indeed and
how idiotic the rules and regulations of company life seemed. You also remember tedious issue lines and the feeling that you didn't belong. But the best was yet to come.
Everybody rises facing the rear and the side doors are opened. The air roars past, and from where you are standing, you can catch glimpses of a green carpet hurtling by beneath the plane. You reach out to steady yourself on the troop seat webbing as
the jet jumps around the sky, and the twitching of your arm reminds you of the 150 odd pushups everyone did while the Ground Week cadre "taught" the whole company how to relax and take a break.
The chute straps bite into your sweaty shoulders but you feel a lot better than you did midway through the 50th trunk rotation, muscles straining and sawdust working its way down your shirt and pants, sticking to your moist skin. You exhale thankfully, recalling that at least your exercise area was covered from the sun.
HOOIC static l INF!
You reach overhead and snap the static line clip onto the taut, quivering cable. You insert the safety pin and bend it at right angles to ensure the clip will remain on the cable when you exit the aircraft. Someone ahead of you attaches his clip incorrectly and the jumpmaster yells at him. You laugh nervously and call to mind how your group unsuccessfully suppressed their laughter when one of the regular army students refused to drop from the lateral drift apparatus as it accelerated noisily down its cable, riding the roller all the way into the supporting pillar.
Even funnier was the time you and your buddies were throwing rocks at the little house where the instructor sat grading students as they leapt out of the 34-foot mock tower. The Army ROTC cadets told you to stop so they woudln't get in trouble and they ended up doing pushups for talking. Ground Week had its fun moments too, along with the work.
You run your fingers around the rim of your incredibly heavy steel pot, looking for any sharp edges you don't want to cut your static line while exiting the aircraft. The helmet lining smells of sweat and mildew, and you wonder how many other people have worn it before you. You glance down your chest ensuring your harness connections are properly set and that your reserve is properly affixed.
A jumpmaster climbs along the top of the troop seats toward a student with equipment trouble. Tilting your
"You gotta be, Airborne!"
head back, to ensure he doesn't step on your fingers, reminds you of how the whole company craned their necks to gaze at the stark jump towers as you all double-timed past on your way to meet the Tower Week cadre.
The 250 foot steel monsters had loomed over the company area for the past week like a bad dream that wouldn't go away. They were so high. But before the cadre would drop you from the towers, you had to prove your worth on the swing landing trainer, perhaps the toughest training aid in parachuting.
You were buckled into a harness and secured to some ropes. You stepped off a 12 foot high platform, swinging to and fro, to and fro, dropping lower and lower until the instructor released you to fall, with you never knowing if you were going to be moving forwards or backwards, left or right when you hit. The sawdust was not soft, and utmost concentration was required.
CHECK STATIC LINE!
Your hand moves up to the clip and works its way down checking for tears or snags in the static line. You follow the line downwards as far as you can reach behind your head to the parachute pack. You proceed immediately to check the man in front of you, insuring that his static line is correctly situated on the pack.
At the signal from the jumpmaster, everyone pivots and checks the line of the man he now faces. You pivot around again, and see that the same student who fastened his clip incorrectly also wheeled improperly, twisting the bright yellow static line around his head he could break his neck if he jumped out the door like that.
The jumpmaster goes over to discuss the student's problems with him, and you idly wonder if he's the same moron who, during a safety procedures briefing by the Tower Week cadre, asked if he could make his parachute go up; or, maybe he was the klutz who almost drove his chute and himself into the tower while floating down from his temporary perch 250 feet in the air. No matter.
Whoever he was he must have made a successful tower drop and must have passed Tower Week to get this far. But soon he will be on his own, and there will be little leeway for careless mistakes.
STAND IN THE DOOR GO!
The "all okay" had been passed forward and the jumpmaster is sending thefirst jumpers out the door by simultaneously giving the commands and slapping their backs. You shuffle towards the door, inboard hand grasping the static line as if it were an umbilical cord, straining for a peek of billowing canopy filling the sky over the heads of the jumpers.
Suddenly you realize your group will be going next, and before your heart can leap into your throat you've passed the static line to the jumpmaster and are standing on the brink of eternity. For a measureless moment you stare downward in horror and fascination, and then you're out, falling through the turbulent air.
Reflexes developed over the past two weeks take over and before you know it you're floating above a green world stretching away from you in all directions. That's when you know it
was worth it the pain, the sweat, and dirt it was all worth it. Rolling in the sawdust, doing pushups on the hot gravel, sharing a Colorado KoolAid with the instructors, grimacing in the static harness a small price to pay for two minutes of exhilaration. You're Airborne, and you've earned it!
By G.J. Barney Beuker, '81Catching up or pulling ahead they're hitting the books in
I sat on my bed glancing around my room at the turmoil created by summer packing. My classmates were all buzzing with plans for the summer and their leave. As I listened the sinking feeling in my stomach got deeper and deeper. Another summer of R-Flight. How could I possibly stand it?
Dreams of family, friends, and a summer at the beach faded away as I carefully packed my books in a box marked "R-Flight" which would be transported across the terrazzo. "Oh come on, it can't be all that bad," said my roommate, trying to comfort me. She was humming around the room preparing to go to Florida with her parents. I stared into my closet deciding what uniforms to take with me and my mind began to wander back to my last summer in R-Flight.
"Hey, the list of room assignments is up!" somebody announced. The crowd around the bulletin board was impenetrable, especially with a suitcase in one hand and a box of books in the other; so I dropped them. "Ouch! That was my foot." I told the guy I was sorry and then
Sometimes you get motivated to study hard to stay here.
It's a lonely summer during R-Flight. You can tell by the empty corridors.
to the front. A three person room! "How fun," I moaned. Worse yet, I barely knew one of the women with whom I was to spend the next three weeks; the other, well I had never even heard her name before.
"Not only is this going to be interesting," I thought, "it's going to be an experience I'll never forget!"
Imagine this: three women who have all of their worldly possessions, not to mention enough clothing to start a Sears and Roebuck, trying to fit into a two-person room. Exciting you say? I still have three socks that I neither own nor have the mate to. It took us all weekend to get the room in enough order so we could find the beds.
turned to find my name on the list of room assignments.
Being a lot shorter than everyone else I finally realized I couldn't possibly see the board unless I grew two feet within the next 60 seconds. I finally gave up and squeezed my way
That Monday it all started. Six days a week of intense academics for approximately three weeks. First thing in the morning 0730 to be exact we all marched to breakfast. I kept thinking "My gosh, people are actually up and functioning at this hour. I thought everything shut down for the summer and people took vacations."
After a rousing breakfast it was off to classes for two hours from 0800 to
1000 hrs. The noon meal formation was at 1200 followed by another two hour session of classes from 1300 to 1500 hrs. The rest of the day was free until 2000 when academic call to quarters started. And yet with all the studying, the G.R.'s, the quizzes, and the homework, we still managed to have a good time. This was the other side of R-Flight.
The other side of R-Flight started right after first class and continued right up until the last affordable minute before noon meal formation. As soon as morning class was dismissed the race was on to see who could get into their bathing suit and down to the quad the fastest. Most people spent this time ''studying" the insides of their eyelids while they “bagged rays."
The other side of R-Flight started again immediately following the afternoon class and usually lasted until it either rained or was too dark to see out of your sunglasses. This time though, the frisbee tournaments, football games, and lacrosse practice started. Sun bathing during this time was hazardous to say the least and you were risking life and limb if you dared try it.
My mind began to wander back as I stared into my closet deciding what uniforms to take with me. I thought of all the aspects of R-Flight, the hard work and the fun, the studying and the sunning. Maybe another summer of R-Flight wouldn't be that bad after all.

But sometimes sleep takes precedence.
C4C Troy Carlyle plays the large violin version of the famous tune "My Heart Bleeds For You."The sounds during ascent were limited to the noisy propeller of the towplane chopping its way furiously through the air. Buildings and homes, once large, passed into the world of the miniscule. The long highway became a strand of thread strewn on an expanse of dimly colored cloth. Only the mountains to the West retained their immense stature. Pulling the stubby, red release knob, I watched the towrope coiling away, chasing the towplane. The last reminder of reality passed from view below the glider. The wind carressed the streamlined sailplane with a light, musical sound that soothed my ears. Remember the distant stream you heard when you were hiking quietly through the forest? Yet, you knew it was only the wind in the trees. There in the sailplane, the wind blowing across the fragile frame gave a feeling of serenity, an infinite and peaceful solitude. Unfortunately, as with the stream blowing through the trees, the Join the Air Force and fly a sailplane.
serenity was only an illusion to the ears. Soon, in preciously few minutes, the Earth would once again claim you as her own.
Most cadets enjoyed their first sailplane orientation ride during BCT. Maybe that's why almost two thousand applied for the basic course last semester. Fortunately, more cadets were able to realize the dream of soloing a glider last year. Even though the number of solos doubled to over 700 annually, there were still a few who were yet to be blessed with the chance to soar. Because we could soar during classes, those few grew fewer.
The internationally known mountain-wave flying of Pike's Peak and the Ramparts came to us as a two-pronged gift. First, the high winds and turbulence associated with the wave often kept us grounded in the winter and spring. Yet, when the winds subsided enough to allow a launch, the wave carried us to 35,000 feet.
As you climbed through the turbulence, you had to cinch the straps or you would hit, and maybe break the canopy. You struggled with the controls, trying to stay somewhere

Soaring behind the towplane for five minutes, maybe 15. Your arm controlling the stick grew tired of fighting. Then calm—you had broken into the wave. Release and the towplane fell below. At 1500 feet per minute, you watched the Earth drop away. The canopy was a greenhouse at 25,000 feet, keeping you warm though the outside temperature was thirty below. Your feet grew numb; they were under the dashboard where the sun didn't shine. Too soon the oxygen pressure fell to less than 200 pounds per square inch; time to return. Pulling back on the stick, you brought the Schweitzer SGS 1-26 to a stall. It broke off to one side, spinning back to Earth. After a few turns you only lost 2000 feet, so you looped and rolled playfully on the wind to loose more altitude. Once the sailplane was below 12,000 feet you removed the cumbersome oxygen mask.
In the summer and fall, the excellent Colorado thermals kept the plane aloft. You would glide along, losing 250 feet per minute, until you felt a kick-in-the-pants that meant warm rising air. Climbing at 300 feet per minute, you rolled to one side trying to find the center, the strongest part of the thermal. At 500 feet per minute you circled in a steep bank at 60 miles per hour. At 11,000 or 12,000 feet you left thethermal and moved on to find another. Jim Harkins. Class of '82, did this better than most. He was the only cadet to ever get his gold badge at the Academy.

The Airmanship 451 pre-solo students comprised the majority of cadets in the soaring program. From the first flight, you were sure the instructor and tow pilot signaled each other when you had the plane. You took the stick, instantly the tow divesed, climbed, banked just to frustrate you and make soaring seem difficult. Yet after a few flights, you began to get a feel for the plane. Parts of the flight were actually enjoyable once again except landing. It was as though your senses could only yield two landing modes: You either set the plane down so hard, it popped rivets and jarred your back, or you climbed
to an almost-stall while your instructor frantically grabbed the controls to salvage another "landing."
However, several flights later, you found that landings too could be mastered. Your instructor strapped up the back seat to send you off solo. At first you were anxious, doubtful, and nervous, but once moving you eased
up and concentrated on flying. A victory cry no-one could hear bellowed out from a sailplane just released from tow. You banked and turned cautiously in your own personal, quiet space of air. Too soon, the mass of air below became part of the mass of air above once again the Earth claimed you as her own.

The chances are good that they are Eagle Scouts with a penchant for back-packing; a love of the mountains, and a well-honed skill in working with people, both youth and adult.
Each summer now for nine seasons a small cadre of cadets has accepted a three-week option which is, in effect, a practical lesson in leadership. It's a cooperative venture between the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) and the Academy which sends about two score young men and women to Philmont Scout Ranch in northern New Mexico for a stint as rangers at the sprawling 214square-mile facility.
There they blend with 150 or so other college-age young adults in guiding incoming Boy Scout and Explorer crews through a check-in procedure and their first few days on the trail, instructing in the basics of backpacking, survival, care and respect for the land and wilderness.
It's a popular option in the Academy's summer military training program, according to Capt. Dan Holmes, director of the Academy's summer program. He said more than 150 applied for the few slots last summer. It is one of 26 summer options.
"We find they are physically fit, they usually know the BSA well, and they have good camping skills," reflected Philmont's chief ranger Randy Day. "Besides, they are
enthusiastic and put a lot of fire into our regular staff." Most are former Scouts and perhaps two out of three once visited Philmont as campers.
Philmont gives each cadet four days of intensive ranger training, stressing leadership skills, advanced camping techniques, and interpersonal relationships. During the remainder of their three weeks at Philmont, the cadets mostly juniors and seniors will typically be assigned three youthful crews who range in age anywhere from 14 through 20. They are with each group three days on the trail and a "first night out" task
is always to introduce the Boy Scouts and Explorers to the culinary delight of Dutch-oven peach cobbler. Cadets learn this technique quickly and well, for hungry teens don't leave much room for a cook's error.
During the course of their stay the Academy rangers also have time to head by themselves into the ranch's mountainous backcountry where bear and deer as well as cattle roam. More than a score of Philmont backcountry camps are staffed by other enthusiastic young adults, who depict in realistic settings much of the historic flavor of the area.
Scouts, for instance, can iearn lumbering at Crater Lake, practice fly tying at Fish Camp, gain instruction in rock climbing at Miner's Park, race burros at Abreu, pan for gold at French Flenry, study survival skills at Miranda, and fire black-powder rifles at Clear Creek. Many also climb Mount Baldy, the 12,441-foot high point on the ranch, often in the dead of night to savor a New Mexico sunrise.
"The use of Air Force Academy cadets as rangers at Philmont is a mutually beneficial program," explains Col. Billy Rhoten, vicecommandant of cadets at the Academy. "Philmont gains additional manpower which reduces the workload on elements of their regular cadre. The cadets, in turn, are given the opportunity to practice leadership and management skills in an environment which is considerably different than the traditional military one in which they normally are trained."
Noting that cadets also face the challenge of working as leaders/advisors for both adult Scouters and for teenagers, Col. Rhoten explained that Philmont creates a "learning situation which complements a cadet's experiences gained at the Academy and provides them with a broader base upon which to build their own leadership styles." Col. Rhoten also noted that "program director Lloyd Knutson and his staff are extremely dedicated professionals and provide
tremendous role models for our cadets."
"By allowing cadets to serve as rangers, the Academy is in fact attempting to produce better leaders for the United States Air Force," he added.
Philmont chief ranger Day
summed it up more succinctly: "everybody wins."
For the USAFA it means high visibility and good civilian leadership training; for the ranch, a savings of $14,000 in salaries; for the rest of the Philmont staff, who distinctly profit from the cadets' experiences, it also means some added time off; and for cadets themselves it often offers some mental and physical rejuvenation before tackling another year at Colorado Springs.
Do the cadets ever return as rangers?
Rarely, says Day. But some wend their way back in later years as Scoutmasters or Explorer post advisors. In the meantime, the words to the Philmont Ranger Song have been heard to echo off the Academy walls
"I want to go back to Philmont, where the old Rayado flows ..."
Some almost do, too; more than once a summer Air Force hardware in the Albuquerque flight pattern will dip their wings in a pass over the ranch. Chances are good it's an Eagle Scout at the controls with a touch of Philmont in his blood.

They were chosen for Air Training Command (ATC) Leadership, a six-week temporary duty (TDY) assignment to the Basic Military Training School (BMTS) located at Lackland AFB in San Antonio, Texas.
While at Lackland, the cadets became actual instructors in the Air Force Basic Training Program. Since the cadets had already been through the Basic Cadet Training Program, they had the opportunity to see the differences in both philosophy and execution, between the Academy's program and the USAF Basic Training program conducted for all enlisted Air Force personnel.
While both provide basic military training, they are unique and different programs. Their different missions are reflected both in the type of training received and in the lifestyles of the airmen and cadets.
One of the firstdifferences that may strike a cadet is the trainee/instructor ratio. At the academy there are approximately five basic cadets to each cadre member. At Lackland, it's not uncommon to find one Military
Training Instructor (MTI) in charge of a flight of 50 airman basics. Cadets working Basic Training at the Academy live with the basics and therefore can easily spend 15 or 16 hours a day on the job. Although the MTI's are NCOs (some are airmen), many with families they usually still put in that 15-hour day. The differences in instructors lead to vastly different training procedures, both in training and supervision.
At the Academy, basic cadets are "escorted" everywhere by cadre. It is possible to go to the Tailor Shop 12 times during Basic Cadet Training and still initially have only a vague idea as to its actual location. Logistically, this is impossible at Lackland. Therefore, airmen are given "appointment slips," informed as to the appointment location, and told to get there on time. They sign in and out of their immediate squadron area. This accountability system is lax by Academy standards yet, it works. The system at the Academy eliminates confusion and waste of precious time, but the lower instructor/trainee ratio at Lacklanddictates a different method of accomplishing the same goals.
Yet another difference, due to
the instructor/trainee ratio, is the role of "student leaders." At Lackland, it is impossible for the instructor to be present 24 hours a day. To oversee the proper functioning of a flight of 50 or more, the MTI appoints certain basics to leadership positions.
The "Dorm Chief" is the MTI's deputy. This airman is in charge when the MTI is not around. "Squad Leaders" are just that. They command a squad in flight drill, but they are also responsible for their squad members in the dormitory. Squad Leaders are the Dorm Chief's deputies. There are other jobs available that are associated with such Basic Training activities as meals, academics, cleaning the dorms, and religious activities. There's even a "latrine queen" to make sure the area is spotless and the sinks dry.
At the Academy, however, the upperclass cadre are the ones who who are getting the leadership experience. Therefore, all basics are of equal rank, and leadership posi- tions are solely for the cadre.
Another striking difference, to the average cadet at least, is the open bay dormitories. At the Academy, cadets are assigned to two or threeperson rooms which become their homes during the next four years. At Lackland, the airmen live in open bays large rooms with at least 24 beds Each airman gels a bed, a chair, and a locker not an entire room with

desks, dressers, shelves and closets.
One difference for the basic is the morning clean-up. At the Academy, cadets work out the arrangement with only one or two other cadets the tall one dusts the shelves, and the short one sweeps the floor. Lackland's open bay dormitory arrangement calls for team effort incorporating 50 people. According to one BMTS graduate, "It sounds strange, but it seems like every job is done at least twice. One person makes the bed with the help of an assigned partner, then the 'bed aligner' straightens all the beds, the 'shoe aligner' then aligns the shoes and then the bed aligner realigns the beds that were knocked out of place by the shoe aligner, thus moving some of the shoes
Everyone is afraid to get caught doing nothing, so things get redone but eventually the dorm becomes spotless. It taught us how to work together, kind of like the Academy's leadership reaction course."
Another shock to the average cadet is the method of correction used on the basics. At the Academy, at least during Basic Training, the primary method is verbal. Counseling is documented on Form 22's which become a permanent part of the cadet's record. These forms, however, are used mainly for major problems.
At Lackland, all mistakes are documented in writing using a Form 341. Basics at Lackland are required to have these forms in their possession at all times. The form identifies the airman by name and squadron. When an instructor observes an airman doing something wrong, hetakes the form, fills it out and sends it back to the airman's MTI via the distribution system. This way the MTI is informed of the airman's misbehavior and can use the form to counsel the trainee and/or take corrective action.
Some cadets may laugh at this system, but airmen don't. "They make it sound so serious," a recent BMTS graduate observed, "For four weeks I fretted, thinking that I would be disqualified from being an Honor Graduate, because I had gotten a 341
A basic takes time to get a spit shine on his boots.for having a button undone/' It's not unusual to see an airman start to tremble when asked to turn over his 341.
The emphasis placed on physical training is another major difference between Lackland and the Academy. The Academy emphasizes it with morning runs, physical conditioning (PC), the obstacle course, the assault course, and intramurals. These are designed to help the basic cadet adjust to the 7,000+ foot altitude, and to help ensure the cadet will later be able to pass not only the oneand-a-half mile aerobics run, but also 60 ATC Leadership
the physical fitness test (PFT), which measure upper body and leg strength. Since airmen in the Air Force are required only to pass the one and a half mile aerobics run, their PC program focuses mainly on running. It is designed to develop even the older, less athletically experienced airman. Cadets might find the program easy, but then they've been at the business longer. Unfortunately, because of the temperature and humidityduring the summer at Lackland, PC was held at 0500. Even the cadets found it hard to get motivated for PC that early in the morning!
In looking at both programs, one has to keep in mind the type of people entering the two Basic Training programs. Anyone entering the Academy must be 17-22 years old, unmarried, and have no dependents. This would rule out over half the basic airmen at Lackland. Anyone may enlist in the Air Force up to age 35, and many already have families when they apply. It's easy to see how counseling can be quite a bit more complicated at Lackland.
A woman basic prepares her locker for inspectionThe basics at Lackland also come from a wider range of educational and family backgrounds/ causing the MTI to go with the lowest common denominator in disciplining his flight. "The hardest thing for me to adjust to was being treated as if ! had no self-discipline/" said one new airman. "I had two solid years of college/ was married/ and had one » child/ and my first instructor said that all of us were lower than worms,” complained an airman firstclass just
out of Basic Training. An MTI simply cannot make the assumptions a cadet would in counseling another cadet.
Another surprise was the amount of free time allowed the airmen basics at Lackland compared to cadet free time. They are allowed 15-minute "smoke breaks" for every hour on the drill pad and several other breaks throughout the day. They also are allowed "patio breaks," where they may smoke, talk, relax and buy a coke or candy from one of the recreational "patios" provided. They have time at night to work on their personal areas (beds, lockers, etc.), shine shoes, study, and write letters.
To the Academy basics, who might use up several batteries shining shoes or writing letters under their blankets after taps, this would be heaven. The cadet in basic training gets perhaps one hour total per day to write letters, study, and take showers. Coke and candy are dreams of another world.
Weekends are also a different matter. At the Academy, during basic training, weekends are just two more days of training. Sunday, basic cadets march to church instead of running, and they may get a few free hours, but, in general, it's just another day.
At Lackland, weekends and holidays don't count into the 30 days a basic spends in training. After the first weekend, an airman is authorized "base liberty" for some of Saturday and Sunday. During this time, he or she may go almost anywhere on base and use such facilities as recreation halls, gyms, discos, and movie theatres. Details and other training may cut into this time, but, for the most part, it is theirs to do with as they wish. On their last weekend at Lackland, the airmen are also allowed a "town pass" and encouraged to see the sights of San Antonio. Basic cadets are lucky if they remember there is any civilization nearby.
These are just a few of the many differences between the two programs that the cadets in ATC Leadership noticed. The differences certainly reflect the differences in missions. Basic Military Training is designed to provide an orderly transition from civilian to military life for the airman. Basic Cadet Training provides a

Airmen continue their military training in Tech School or by OnThe-job Training (OJT) which immediately follows Basic Training. Cadets continue their program over the next four years, at the end of which they receive both a college degree and a regular commission as a second lieutenant. Cadets also progress from trainee to instructor, and, over the four years from basic to officer.
AVery sharp performers
Suicide? Revenge? Homicide?
This is not the itinerary of a psycho run amok, nor is it the agenda of a mass-murderer who recently escaped from prison. These are the names of some of the formations and movements, appropriately named, which the Sabre Drill Team performs for crowds across the nation.
"Oooh's" and "ah's" are any crowds' immediate response to the team's performance. Respectful silence soon follows. Unsheathed sabres are twirled, thrown, and exchanged as if they were plain sticks instead of sharp blades.
The key to a performance by the Sabre Drill is timing, precision, and synchronization. All these qualities must be learned and perfected during many long practice hours prior to any performance. Obviously these techniques go far beyond what the average cadet at the Air Force 62 Sabre Spinners
Academy learns for noon meal formations. Almost anything that can be done with a rifle is done with a sabre for the team's performances. A crowd favorite, and the epitome of the Sabre Drill Team's ability, is the formation "Suicide." During this movement two cadets walk between two rows of team members who are spinning sabres. The blades come from everywhere in front, behind and from the side. The sight of these two emerging unscathed never fails to bring applause.
The team's primary mission is not to thrill audiences or reap applause. They use their performance as a vehicle to do their real work: talking to people about the Academy. After any performance the cadets are available to answer questions and talk to prospective cadet candidates. Invaluable is the only word to describe this contact.
To fulfill this mission, the Sabre Drill Team performs year round, excepting the summer months, and is capable of performing at a wide variety of functions such as memorial ceremonies, athletic events, intercollegiate competition, and Mess Dress Balls. They can perform almost anywhere, from a football field to a ballroom floor. Because of this versatility, they are fast becoming known in the civilian as well as the military community.
The team itself is composed of cadets from all four classes at the Academy and acts as a self-contained unit with its own chain of command. The thirdclassmen train the fourthclassmen in the skills necessary to become a member of the team. The secondclassmen run the various staffs

Regular Air Force personnel provide the overall help and guidance needed by the team. This year, the Officer-in-Charge is SMS William Andrews, First Group Sergeant Major. TSgt Dave Goodrum of the SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape) staff is the present Noncommissioned Officer-in-Charge. An integral part of the team, they encourage the cadets to attempt the new and daring to do something different with an old tradition.
Joining the Sabre Drill Team is not easy. Cadets must try out during their freshman year if they are to try out at all. Most cadets do not learn sabre manual until they become seniors.
The freshmen on the team must learn not only the basic maneuvers like ''Present Arms" and "Order Arms," but also complicated weaves, variable cadence, and all those flips which are part of the team's repertoire.
Each candidate is screened carefully to ensure that each year the team maintains the highest integrity and ability. Only about one quarter of those who try out actually make the team. Even fewer are allowed to return as upperclassmen to the team.
It's tough competition just to get on, but most consider itworth it.
To make this team the professional performing group it is takes lots of practice and time. The team is on-season in both the Fall and the Spring, but in no way can it be considered an easy sport. Practice is almost a daily affair, and the team's schedule may often call for extra practices on the weekends, especially in the Spring. It's a lot of work and a lot of time.
Competition for the team is scarce, but they do attend at least one major drill competition a year. Performances and public contact take up most of their time.
The team performed at basketball halftimes at the Air Force Academy; at a Denver Nuggets halftime show; and at Open Houses at various Air Force bases across the country including Luke, Homestead, McDill, Moody and Barksdale. To liven up a silent routine, the team started putting some of their performances to music. This year, they have developed two performances, one to the theme from "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," and the other to the score from the television series "S.W.A.T." These performances integrate sabre manual and music to produce a unique and unusual production that seldom fails to astound on-lookers.

Fourthclass team members practice the ripple line. Men and womenTHE MISSION OF THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE ACADEMY: To provide instruction and experience to all cadets so that they graduate with the knowledge and character essential to leadership and the motivation to become career officers in the United States Air Force.
The idea itself is unadorned and somehow striking in its simplicity. This is the reason cadets are supposed to come here. This is the goal the institution sets out to achieve. And yet the "method" by which this admirable objectivemight best be met has always been a matter of controversy.
From 1959 to 1964 it was felt that fourthclass cadets ought not go home for Christmas in order that they have more time to be provided with the requisite "knowledge and experience." In days gone by "passing in one's plate," in essence being deprived of the "privilege" of eating a meal, for failure to answer a knowledge question or ask for some item correctly at the table was considered to be an "experience," without which the development of a qualified and motivated Air Force officer was simply not possible. Fortunately, time, and several classes of graduates proved these perceptions to be misconceptions, and yet in 1980-81 we are embroiled in yet another controversy over that topic near and dear to the hearts of cadets and officers alike Cadet Wing Training.
In August of 1980, 50-1, a new regulation making fundamental changes to the professional military training system became the law of the land, or at least the "reg of the Wing." These changes included implementation of study guides and Form 76's for both the third and fourthclass, elimination of on-call, knowledge bowls and phase tests for fourthclassmen, and direct involvement of the element leader in the training process. Although the Wing felt that these changes were thrust upon it very suddenly, the changes actually had their beginnings back in the spring of 1978 with the meeting of the Honor Review Implementation
Committee.
At that time anyone who wanted to talk to the Wing about anything from driver's education to how to balance a checkbook could schedule "training." The result was a series of
uncoordinated, unrelated, and often uninspiring series of lectures and presentations in what infamously came to be called the "big blue

bedroom" (Arnold Hall Theater). There was virtually no cadet input and no feedback solicited on this so-called training.
Before 1979, the responsibility for such training was shared by a large number of different mission units. The issue was further complicated by the fact that training had the annoying habit of skipping around from Saturday morning to Friday or Wednesday afternoon. Varsity athletes and onseason cadets were unable to attend because of schedule conflicts so the only individuals who did attend training were those unfortunate souls who could not think of a legitimate excuse.
In 1978 the Honor Review Implementation Committee charged with reviewing Military Training suggested the need for an integrated, coordinated, centralized training system. CWIT, known to most cadets as the "Mil Stu" department was charged with the task of developing such a program. Maj. Craig Lindberg, Directorof Professional Military Training, explains that CWIT began by identifying specific skills and knowledge that new officers ought to be provided with before embarking on their military careers. Looking at programs taught at West Point and Annapolis, looking at ROTC and OTS programs, and dissecting postgraduate military education programs such as Squadron Officer School, "we
identified over 600 areas graduates ought to have applicable skills or background in."
Many of these areas were already being covered by the Dean, in Military Studies or elsewhere. After developing three new military studies courses referred to as professional military studies, (a fourth was in the works this year), the CWIT committee was left with approximately 200 areas which needed to be addressed in varying degrees of detail. These areas became the basis for a four year Professional Military Training (PMT) program.
In the past, somewhere along the line, many cadets came to believe that
Concentration is the key to good rifle manual.
leadership skills were obtained through osmosis. When one completed Hell Week and was given one's prop and wings, the skills required to lead and teach others were assumed to be in some way magically attached to that sacred little piece of metal.
Unfortunately, experience has not borne this hypothesis out, and many brand new thirdclassmen found they had no more idea of how to lead the fourthclass than they had as brand new fourthclassmen. Some with natural leadership ability muddled through and actually learned something through the trial by fire. Others without natural talent were left high and dry.
In the absence of other guidance and waving the bloody flag of tradition, some cadets would resort to leadership by coercion or leadership by fear. Others, completely unnerved by the whole ordeal would back off, tune out, and turn off to training although, exercising a nonexistent form of leadership by default. In any case, the assumption that leaders are born and not educated seemed to be a little unfair to the second lieutenant who would graduate without ever having learned to cope with real-life problems, and to the Air Force that would have to pay for his/her mistakes.
Because of this the PMT program is designed to do two things. 1) It is

designed to cover those 200 areas which had been identified as needing coverage. 2) It is designed to teach cadets to impart instruction as they will have to later in their careers, without the artificial tools of knowledge bowls, on-call, special inspections or phase tests. The feeling is that these crutches, while extremely useful here at the Air Force Academy prevented cadets from developing the very skills they will need to use as officers in the real Air Force. As Maj. Lindberg put it, "We have done a good job of training cadets to be cadets but not always to be officers."
This year firstclassmen have found great emphasis placed on the role of the element leader as the primary first line supervisor. This is precisely the role they will shortly assume as second lieutenants. According to the feedback received by Maj. Lindberg, many firstclass cadets feel they have been ill prepared for it.
By the time the Class of '83 becomes firstclassmen they will have received the preparation firstclassmen feel they are lacking right now. The Class of '83 will be the first class to have seen a full four years of leadership training. Maj. Lindberg emphatically states, "Our goal is not to create another academic class for cadets, but to be as practically oriented as possible toward what's going on in the Cadet Wing and toward what will happen when cadets graduate."
The philosophy behind fourthclass training is that fourthclassmen are complete novices and require education in a number of things to include history of air power, theories of leadership, goal-setting, code of conduct training, orientation to the NCO Corps, etc. These subjects are important enough to warrant an open, relaxed learning environment such as the environment found in academic classes. Just as most of us would not be able to effectively learn chemistry or calculus in a brace Combo I, white gloves, under arms, it is felt by CWIT that the high pressure tactics previously applied to teaching this material really did not improve the learning process.
The thrust of thirdclass training is aimed at preparing thirdclassmen to
deal effectively with fourthclassmen. They are taught how to inspect rooms, conduct personal appearance inspections, sit as table commandants, and how to conduct instruction. Lessons are directed not at theory or "high falutin" principles, as Maj. Lindberg puts it, but at practical application to the conduct of fourthclass training. Thirdclass cadets assume training responsibilities upon being certified as competent in those areas.
Next year the drill training may be conducted as early as "dead week" during the fourthclass year, so that thirdclassmen will have immediate responsibility for morning formations. During Phase 3 this year, thirdclassmen will conduct the entire segment of fourthclass training. Each thirdclassman will teach three lessons to the fourthclassmen in his or her squadron. This is considered to be on-the-job application of job skills taught during the fall.
Cadets contemplate on the meaning of being an American as they participate in the retreat ceremony. 68 Spit & PolishNext year first and secondclass cadets will also become involved in formal training programs and will concentrate on leadership and management skill development and application. The first class will, to a certain extent, break away from the idea that everyone has to have the same kind of training. Military education will be tailored to the individual's needs and desires through a series of developmental workshops taken at the individual's or the AOC's option.
The idea will be to sharpen leadership/management tools in those specific areas where a cadet is weakest. For example, if a cadet is a terrific leader, able to get the squadron to follow cheerfully up San Juan Hill or anywhere else they're led, but cannot seem to organize his/her efforts, a management workshop
might be helpful. The cadet on the opposite end of the spectrum who is organized to the hilt, but cannot work well with others may benefit from a different kind of workshop.
Squadron Training Officers, similar to Squadron Faculty Offfcers and Squadron Professional Ethics Officers, will be the primary training advisor in the squadron working with cadets to develop these desired skills. "This is the way that it's done in the real Air Force," says Maj. Lindberg, "and there's no doubt in anybody's mind that the money is well spent."
Nonetheless, in the past few months several problems have surfaced. For example, Maj. Lindberg admits, "One of our biggest weaknesses was looking at large group meetings." The trend in '81-'82 will be toward small classroom size groups in which discussion is made possible and the environment is improved.
Morning training in general has proven to be a fairly ineffective time of the day. Contrary to popular belief, the new schedule of calls was not the brainchild of the people who brought you the in-flight guide and 50-1. "We pointed out that we needed to set aside a time when all cadets could be present for training. One of our suggestions was a military training period sometime in the middle of the day, but the details couldn't be worked out in time for the start of the

academic year." One of the proposals being considered now is the holding of certain group presentations at night, and setting aside the morning training period as compensatory time, as the academic departments do now.
Asked about the perceived lack of respect for authority, and lack of discipline on the part of the Class of '84, the Major agrees that a serious problem exists, but points out that the Class of '82, '81, and '80 had approximately the same comment about the Class of '83 this time last year. He addresses out the common misperception that the professional military training system is meant to undermine the fourthclass system and points out the distinction between what he calls big "T" and little "t" training.

This should be seen as separate from little 't' training the fourthclass system, SAMI's, IRl's, falling in on the marble strips, greeting, etc. The stress was taken out of big 'T' training to produce a proper learning environment. The Cadet Wing assumed that no stress was allowed in the fourthclass system, which has discouraged cadets from insisting that fourthclassmen buckle down. Nothing could be farther from the truth, and this is the

Ibiggest problem we have had to handle."
A final major complaint by some cadets has been the perceived lack of cadet input into a system which they have the responsibility of implementing. What many people do not realize is that CWIT seeks feedback by meeting at least once a week with the Cadet Wing and Group Training Officers and once a month with Squadron Training Sergeants and Training Officers.
Additionally, Maj. Lindberg is willing and eager to visit squadrons to discuss the system with anyone, at anytime. Many squadrons have taken

advantage of this standing invitation to clarify what is going on particularly with the thirdclass. Another means of feedback is the critique form which comes down on virtually every lesson taught. "These critiques are looked at and very carefully analyzed/' says Maj. Lindberg, "already some changes for the better have been made to next year's program because of them."
Finally, if you have a good idea on how training might be changed or improved, the door to CWIT is always open. Very recently C3C Kris Jamsa of CS-27 came up with the idea that there should be more code of conduct orientation for cadets considering the career they are preparing to enter. He went to CWIT to discuss the issue and is presently working with Capt. Ronald Richards of CWIT to design a six lesson block of instruction covering two articles per 72 Spit & Polish

Lindberg extends an open invitation for those who have ideas to come forward and work with CWIT on them, or to at least let CWIT know what you're thinking so someone else can work out the details.
What does the future hold? Along the lines of increasing cadet involvement at the planning stage, CWIT is planning to begin a military studies 499 course in which 2°s can receive credit for working side by side with the training staff. These students will essentially take a project and complete it, building it from scratch, staffing and coordinating it just as if they were lieutenants and captains. "There will be opportunities to work with the officer chain of command from the top right on down the chain

on real-life problems/' explains Maj. Lindberg, "This is a unique opportunity and people are already lining up."
Change is never very easy to implement and old ideas and traditionsdie slowly. Still, old is not always synonymous with good. From those of us who noted a certain amount of irony in the words of Maj. Gen. John M. Schofield:
"The discipline which makes the soldiers of a free country reliable in battle is not to be gained by harsh or tyrannical treatment It is possible to impart instruction or give commands in such a manner and such a tone of voice as to inspire desire to obey ..."
And unlike the incongruous manner in which those very words were pounded into us, perhaps the new system aimed at forcing us to impart instructions and give commands in an inspirational manner, deserves the benefit of the doubt.
The scene is a 90 foot sheer face of rock. Above there are some stirrings, then silence. The silence is broken with an “On repel!" followed by a, "On belay!" The rope goes taut as someone descends. This is repelling, one small segment of Reconnaissance Commando training, or RECONDO.
Have you ever seen a RECONDO trained troop? You can't miss him. He's the guy with the badge on his chest. You know, the green and gold one that is shaped like an arrowhead. Notice how proudly he wears that badge. Notice how he has that look of a person who is confident in himself. Some people call it conceit, but it's not. Truth is he has completed one of the most demanding programs offered by the United States Air Force Academy RECONDO.
This story is about everyone who has ever gone through and completed the RECONDO course. The course is a grueling three weeks spent at Camp Red Devil, Fort Carson, Colorado. This is the home of the Non-Commissioned Officers Academy of the Army at Fort Carson.
The program is run entirely by Army NCOs. These men are some of the finest
Living with nature is a challenge. Weapons training is a big part of RECONDO.in the Armed Forces. They are professional in every sense of the word. They know their material, and their leadership is by example. The instruction is excellent and
the facilities are unequalled anywhere.
The course itself is divided into roughly six areas. I say roughly because the areas overlap. These areas are: 1)
Academics, 2) Land Navigation, 3) PT, 4) Mountaineering, 5) Weapons, 6) Patrolling.
The academics last for six days in the classroom. Everything from map reading to ambush techniques is taught. Everything that will happen in the field is covered in the classroom.
Physical Training is a unique experience.If you have never been up at 0 dark thirty hours (0430) to run four miles you haven't lived. The real challenge of PT is walking, or trying to walk, 12 minute miles with a 50 pound sandbag on your back. The army can't run, but it sure as heck can walk, and walk, and walk, and walk.
Land Navigation is a challenge for the mind as well as the body. You must find four, 50 gallon drums in the light of day and two in no light. The distance between checkpoints could be anywhere from 2000 to 5000 meters. The real test comes when the sun goes down. When there is no moon, the woods around Red Devil become a nightmare to travel through. Everytime you turn around or take a step you stumble over something.
Mountaineering is probably the most satisfying and fun part of the course. Two days are spent downrange repelling, going across rope bridges, and being hauled up a wall of rock. The repels are completed off of a 45 foot and then a 90 foot cliff, with your favorite sandbag on your back. The rope bridge is done across a 70 foot gap in the rocks, again with your trusty sandbag. Finally, the vertical haul is done up 30 feet of rock wall, with, you guessed it, your sandbag. You finish the two days blistered and sore, but with a better idea of who you are and what you are capable of doing.
The weapons range is something else. You fire the M-60 machine gun, the M-16 rifle, and M-72 Light Anti-tank Weapon (LAW), and the M-72 Claymore Mine. You learn to have a healthy respect for these tools of destruction.
Patrolling is the final phase of the training. When you are out on patrol all the things that you were taught in the classroom start to make sense. Patrolling is the real test of your personality and character. Everyone is allowed the chance to lead the patrol in a simulated combat environment. What you do when someone is ambushing your patrol, when you are attacking a position and the smoke and tear-gas are blinding you, and the weapons and explosions are going off all around you, can make or break your patrol. This leadership chance is the real purpose behind RECONDO.
The chance to lead under pressure is not something very many people have an opportunity to do. But once you have done it, you can be proud of yourself, for having pushed yourself and given it your best. You then wear the RECONDO badge with your chest out, showing everyone that you are a cut above the rest.
RECONDO!!
One of the most difficult aspects of RECONDO is repelling.
The Cadet Honor Guard's winning tradition continues
The tension is clear on the face of every person as the team enters the competition field. Eight months of exhausting practice, as well as the reputation of the Air Force Academy, is at stake. The preparations are over and the time has come.
Team commander C3C Scott Schaeffer takes a deep breath and opens the competition: "SIR, THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE ACADEMY CADET HONOR GUARD, CLASS OF NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR, REQUESTS PERMISSION TO ENTER THE INSPECTION AREA."
The Cadet Honor Guard, including both the men's and women's
teams, had begun one of their most successful seasons. The scene was the southern California Invitational Drill Meet in Anaheim, CA on 14 March 1981. Held in the shadow of Disneyland, the meet is one of the nation's most prestigious.
USAFA's best, met noted teams from Texas A&M, University of Southern California, and Rutger's University. The competition included three categories: Regulation Inspection, Regulation Drill, and Exhibition Drill. Judged by Army, Marine Corps, and Air Force NCOs of the highest professionalism, the scoring was, as always, very close.
As expected, the Air Force Academy did well, but no one had dared hope for what came about. The Men's Honor Guard won the sweepstakes trophy for armed teams, a distinction which establishes them as among the nation's finest. They took first in Regulation Drill and second place in both Inspection and Exhibition Drill, upholding the team's proud winning tradition.
The USAFA women's team did quite well also. Taking first in Inspection and Regulation Drill and fourth in Exhibition Drill, the team won second place overall. C3C Schaeffer and C2C Liz Durham both

took home trophies as the top unit commanders, and C3C Jessie Morimoto won the women's Drill Down.
It was an impressive showing by another superior professional unit at the Academy. The successes reflect many, many hours of practice, but when the time came, poise pulled the teams through. A proud Honor Guard brought back 11 trophies that weekend, but by the next day they were practicing harder than ever, always seeking perfection.

Wings of Blue one of the most competitive of all of the clubs and activities available to cadets at the Air Force Academy.
Cadet life is an experience different from any other offered anywhere. If you don't believe it just describe your typical day to a friend uninitiated into the mysteries of cadet jargon. Out of respect for your status as one of the future leaders of America he will probably nod his head and mumble something unintelligible in agreement, but the blank look on his face should indicate to you that he has no idea what you are talking about.
"Last night I got hit with a CDB for PDA with my CCQ at the BOR during ACQ after PCE by the SOD. He called the OIC who happened to be my AOC, and who busted my roommate for OTF.
Where else in the world can you enjoy an intimate family style dinner atmosphere surrounded by 4417 other peo-
pie? In Mitchell Hall 5,000 people can be served 1600 calories in less than 4 minutes. Think how many of life's difficult decisions are taken care of for you. Every morning at the ungodly hour of 0555 the word of God (Command Post) tells you what to wear and how to wear it. When your laundry bin fills to the top and starts to crawl out into the hallway toward your AOC's office you don't have to decide whether to wash your colors with your whites or not. You stuff the crud into an issue laundry bag and hope the Denver destroyers don't send you back a lot of starched cleaning rags. If at times you feel that you are slipping the bonds of sanity that's fast, neat, average, friendly, good, good. You are not alone.
But also, unlike most other
colleges and universities, USAFA provides the average cadet with an overdose of things to do. There are in excess of 40 different, professional, mission-oriented or recreational clubs and activities to choose from. From the Wings of Blue, to the Cadet Ski Club, to the Forensics Team, to the Cadet Scuba Club, there need never be a dull moment if one doesn't want there to be.
Then there are other activities unique to the Academy environment such as the Superintendent's Christmas Ball, The Ring Dance, 100's Night, June Week etc, etc, etc. These events make cadet life what it is today, and taking the thought a step further, cadet life makes the cadet, the graduate, and officer what he or she will be tomorrow.
by Joyce Rothleder, '82The cadet social center was alive and well and living in Arnold Hall. Whatever your tastes, from bowling, to beer, you could find it at Arnie's. A welcome addition this year was the installation of the new electronic games room. At almost any time of the day or night, you could always find some crazed cadet frantically feeding quarters into one of the
electronic addictions.
There were pool and foosball as well as the eight lane bowling alley, for those who didn't get their fun from a cathode ray tube. Finally, who could forget about Arnie's Disco (though some of us tried). Changing the age limit for cadet guests from 16 to 18 drastically reduced the number of women present on Friday and
Saturday nights, but the size of the crowd rose again gradually. Changing the age limit also reduced the number of surprises some cadets received ("You're only how old?!"). All told, Arnies had a little of something for almost everyone.

The delicacy of a rose is captured by a close-up lens.
The Cadet Forensics Association was the most successful of all the competitive cadet activities. In academic year 1980-81 the team won 164 trophies bringing the total won over the past four years to 642. In addition, the team finished the season ranked seventh nationally in the Cross Examination Debate Association and eighth in the National Individual Events Tournament. A total of 37 cadets participated in 23 tournaments
throughout the country.
The Class of 1984 brought 22 new members to the squad last fall, the largest recruiting output ever. The new freshmen accounted for 45 of the team's trophies. Several outstanding freshmen made the selection of the "Outstanding Freshman" award difficult. C4C Jeff Jansen won over his classmates: Walt Lemanski, Daria Roithmayr and Doug McNary. But size wasn't the only "first" the forensics team experienced this year. The Academy had its first ever national championship with C2C Dave Fadok and C2C Marty Wojtysiak winning first place in the Dramatic Duo Interpretation Event at the National Tournament. C4C Jeff Burum and C4C Andy Eskengren were the first cadets to ever attend the National Junior Division Debate Tournament.
The team was led by CadetIn-Charge, C1C Joe Wood who

debated with C2C Heather Wilson. They also earned the chance to attend the National Individual Events Tournament in Impromptu Speaking. C1C Dusty Somerville served as the C1C for the National Debate Topic squad and was selected as the outstanding senior on the team this year. C1C Mike Dalby and Grace Battaglia jointly co-ordinated the efforts of the indivual events competitors. Other cadets who served on the staff included: C1C Bill Young, Joe Zeis and Gary Crowder.
Many of these cadets and others on the team also served in key positions in the cadet chain of command. The squad boasts of the highest cumulative grade point average and military performance average of any cadet organization. They proudly call themselves the "Dean's Team."

The Wing Color Guard prepares to step off smartly in President Ronald W. Reagan's Inauguaral Parade.
Fever," that surrounds Washington D.C. The thrill of marching proudly down Pennsylvania Avenue is one the cadet contingent to the 1981 inaugural Parade shall never forget.
by J. D. Seal, '81
If you were one of the fortunate cadets that was afforded the opportunity to attend President Reagan's Inaugural Parade, then you can completely understand when someone describes the "magical atmosphere" often called "Potomac
The day of the parade began in a typical military fashion, with "hurryup-and-wait" being the order of the day. After an early wakeup, and a somewhat sparse breakfast at Annapolis, we all boarded busses at 0600 hours and departed for Washington.
Driving into Washington is indeed
an experience not easily forgotten. We watched with fascination as all of the history books of our school years came to life. The Lincoln Memorial, the Capitol Building, signs pointing to Pennsylvania Avenue—to mention but a few.
Upon arrival at the assembly point, expectations and excitement once again began to build. The city was dressed in her best. As we formed up into our respective formations, there were silly smiles and nervous laughter as "Potomac Fever" took firm hold.
As we began to march we realized history was in the process of being made—and we were part of it. We marched with a precision unmatched by any previous USAFA group of cadets, down Pennsylvania Avenue, in an emotional state of disbelief and awe.
Uppermost in our minds were an overwhelming sense of pride coupled with the desire to soak up as much of the atmosphere as possible. Down the famous Avenue we went, past the White Flouse, past theNational Archives, past the endless crowd of smiling, supportive fans. We all nearly popped thebuttons off our parade jackets when someone would yell a cheer for the Air Force.
Then came the moment we all had secretly waited for; to personally view the President of the United States, Ronald Wilson Reagan. I doubt any of us could have stood up any prouder, or any taller than we did when we marched by our Commander-In-Chief.
What I shall never forget is the tremendous pride we shared that day, in the President, in the country, but most of all in the United States Air Force Academy, which had given 368 cadets the unique opportunity to "slip the bonds" of the normal cadet routine and experience andbe a part of our American history.
The Air Force Academy took its print and broadcast media to the Rocky Mountain Collegiate Press Association (RMCPA) competition for magazine, yearbook and television productions. TALON, POLARIS, and Blue Tube won 42 awards; more than was won by any of the other 29 colleges participating from the seven Rocky Mountain states.
TALON won the top honor in the magazine competition by taking first place in the magazine general excellence category. POLARIS won second place in the yearbook general excellence category.
TALON's writers took 25 awards on their way to the first in general excellence. Ten of these awards were first, six were second, and nine were thirds. Out of 11 categories, TALON swept six of them taking first, second and third in the Picture Story, Feature Photography, Color Photography, Advertisement, Typography, and Editorial Writing categories. The TALON magazine won more awards than any other magazine that entered the RMCPA competition.
Two of TALON's top performers were cadets Tony Hinen, '81 and Joyce Rothleder, '82. Cadet Flinen
contributed one first, a second and two thirds to the TALON's first place finish. Cadet Rothleder collected two firsts and a third in the competition. Providing the leadership for the TALON's first place effort were TALON Advisor and OIC of Cadet Wing Media, Capt. Jill Jydstrup and TALON Editors C1C Bill Roy, '81 and C2C Joyce Rothleder, '82. C1C Roy also contributed a first and a second to the TALON's tally of awards. TALON award winners and the categories they won in are:

Yet, even from such a critical audience, the U.S. Air Force Academy's Drum and Bugle Corps seldom fails to receive a loud standing ovation after every performance.
The cadet Drum and Bugle Corps is unique in several aspects. The first distinction is that it's a drum and bugle corps—not a marching band. The difference is that a marching band has woodwinds such as flutes, darinets, and saxophones—a drum and bugle corps does not.
The Corps contains 60 bugles: sopranos, mellophones, french horns, baritones and contra brass bugles. Never heard of such instruments? Most of the Corps' members never heard of them either before joining the Corps. Bugle players must learn how to play them in the five weeks they are given before their first halftime show. No easy job.
There is a variety of drums on the field also. There aren't many bands that field 22 drums, including the large kettle drums, for a halftime performance.
The second unusual aspect of the Drum and Bugle Corps has been their performance. They move! In past years, the 100 members of this organization have split up and formed stars, "V" formations, and this year they performed a rotating cross. Each a work of art, a marvel of precision. The flag line completed the sight with blue and white banners that seemed to never stop moving.
Thevisual aspect of the Corps' performance excited everyone, but this was only half of the effect. The other was their music. To be on the Corps, musical excellence is a must.
This year's musical selections included a modern arrangement of Moussorgky's classic "A Night on Bald Mountain," Gershwin's "An American in Paris," a bugle feature of Herb Alpert called "1980," and a drum solo entitled "Solo '80." The final arrangement was a cadet favorite

"Civil War Fantasy." The whole show had the dynamics and sound one would expect from a professional concert. When the intricate drill and flag maneuvers were added, the effect was breathtaking.
The Drum and Bugle Corps was also probably one of the hardest working organizations on base. They practiced on the average, about 2 Viz hours, four days a week to ensure a perfect performance.
The Drum and Bugle Corps was tasked with two very important missions. Its first and primary mission has been to support the Cadet Wing. It added to the spirit of contests, whether football, hockey or basketball games, by giving its musical support to the cheerleaders and team. Two or three times a week, the Cadet Wing marched to lunch to the sounds of the Corps, and there were few pep rallies at which the Drum and Bugle Corps did not lend their support.

Mall in the Inaugural Parade.The Corps' second mission was no less important to the Academy or the Cadet Wing public relations. The thousands of miles the Corps travels each year can more than be justified by this mission alone. Besides the Falcon football games, the Corps led the Air Force Academy's cadet contingent in the Inauguration Parade for President Reagan in Washington D.C. The Corps also performed at a nationally televised Denver Broncos game in Mile High Stadium. During the Spring, they marched in the Mardi Gras parade in New Orleans, appeared in exhibition in Ebensburg, PA, and performed at Walt Disney
World and the Festival of States parade and pageant in St. Petersburg, FI.
But the highlight of the year came in October when the Corps "Soundly" defeated their Navy rivals, the "Brigade of Midshipmen," in the annual inter-service Drum & Bugle Corps competition. It was the fifth consecutive year of victory, this year for the first time winning every area of the competition and by an overall score of 78.0 to 68.8.
Of course a big part of any organization is its leadership. Besides the active duty participants, the Corps has its own chain of command. C1C

Steve Doss, CS-01, was the Corps Commander. He performed many of the functions of a Cadet Squadron Commander and had overall command of the Corps. The Corps also had an Executive Officer, an Operations Officer, an Academic Officer and Project Officers. Others handle such jobs as accountability, uniforms and equipment, publicity, meals, and equipment loading. The commanders on the field during a performance are the drum majors. This year C1C Dik Daso CS-31, and C2C Harry Leach, CS-39, held the title.
Three active duty noncommissioned officers provided the extra experience needed. SMSgt Rod Stewart handled choreography and flag instruction. TSgt Ken Tyler composed the drum arrangements. The drumline instructor was SSgt Russ Daniels. To complete the picture, Captain Terry Swan, 26th Squadron Air Officer Commanding, was the Corps' Officer in Charge.
To most cadets, the Drum and Bugle Corps is an organization to be proud of. In the ten years it has been in existence, it has become a symbol of the Academy and what it can do. Precision, pride, hard work, excellence these are words that have meaning in the Corps.

Santana, a band that has been playing in the music world for many years, introduced some newer songs with a different sound. Although for many the concert was a chance to
enjoy old memories sparked by some old favorites such as "Black Magic Woman," there were still some who came wanting to hear Santana's new sound. Fortunately, there was something to please everyone.
The concert's most unique feature was the fact that it was held on a Monday night. This proved to be a great way to start the week, while easing the "Dark Ages Blues" with an evening of good music. Bassist waits for cue on "I'm Winning."
Thirteen hundred and forty days prior to this festive night, most of us were questioning our endurance and motivation, but most of all -our sanity. Did we really want to come to that magic castle called USAFA, and perhaps more importantly, did we really want to stay there? I question how many honestly believed they would be one of the few who had the necessary courage to survive long enough to attend their 100's nite (95's night-the point is well taken).
Although the evening began with a formal air about it, that was merely a camouflage to hide the crazy antics that were soon to follow. C1C Mike Mansfield and C1C Ed Knox described the evolution of the Class of 1981
most eloquently in a living color slide show. The class relived in words and pictures such unforgettable moments as the formulation of Goldfein's Rule, "If the sky is blue, then there is no ice on the terrazzo." And who could possibly avoid a few low level cracks at STAN/EVAL. "We're here to help you," they said. We have all come such a long way, despite Engineering 430 and goose down vests at Cermer's. Yet, a new beginning, a new frontier lies just ahead. The evening was perfectly summed up by our down-home, but humbly dynamic guest speaker, Maj. John Reitzell, when he advised us all to "Be There!!" Be There 1981, for you are indeed "Second To None."

For those who escaped the rigors of Sunday night academics and saw Makin' Whoopie, laughter did prevail. This Broadway show, starring Imogene Coca, was a combination of vaudeville and old fashioned melodrama. With an evil villain, a dogooder, lots of laughter, dance numbers, and many songs, it was an enjoyable evening.
Traversing the West with colorful cardboard sets and dancing cowgirls, Imogene Coca managed to keep the audience laughing throughout the show. The real star, it has been argued by some cadets, was the young nurse whose bedside manner would make most cadets long for sick call.
The show's costuming was exceptional and added to the drama. Colorful scenery added to the production.
On 30 November 1980 the Field House resounded with the memories of an earlier decade. When Beatlemania came to USAFA, through an elaborate show of song and film, the '60's were recreated and the audience mesmerized. From Kent State to Kennedy's death and thefirst man on the moon, ten years of history flashed by to the sounds of the Beatle's music.
While under a magical type of spell, the cadets felt the full range of emotion. From the wild nonsense songs to deep reflective tunes, cadets yelled; they screamed; they applauded continuously.
The band was caught up in the magic of the evening as they came back encore after encore and played for 30 additional minutes to the screams, chants, and clapping of the Wing. It was a nostalgic evening and one ofthe better Allied Arts concerts.
by Warren Lee, '84The snows came a little late to Colorado this year, but the USAFA Ski Club was still able to provide many excellent opportunities for it's members to enjoy Ski Country USA. Under the watchful eyes of Club President C1C Brooks Bash and Vice President Randy Peterson, the Ski Club flourished. During the membership drive, squadron ski reps signed up almost 3500 members, amounting to 83 plus percent of the eligible cadets.
Traditionally one of the largest ski clubs in the Rocky Mountain region, the USAFA Ski Club sent members to many famous Colorado resorts. Day trips to Keystone, Winter Park, Breckenridge, Copper Mountain, and A-Basin ran nearly every weekend from February thru Spring Break. Squadrons with 100 percent participa
tion enjoyed weekend trips to the Dillon Ski Resort.
Club members were entitled to discount lift tickets, free bus transportation to and from the slopes, and a free lunch. The Ski Club was also busy updating and improving the equipment and services available at the Cadet Ski Shop in Sijan Hall. "THINK SNOW" & "KEEP YOUR TIPS UP."

Middle Right: An out of control racer fights to gain his balance. Right: On a 21st Squadron ski trip, C2C Martin Harris, C2C Dan Shewmaker, and C2C Kent Brannum do a little "lodge skiing."The club provided basic instruction in Trap and Skeet shooting as well as opportunities to compete for positions on the Trap and Skeet Teams. Additionally, there was ample opportunity to learn basic firearms maintenance and repair as well as shotshell reloading. Members were encouraged to enter ATA, NSSA, and NRA competition at a local level.
Twelve members of the club enjoyed Limited On-Season status during the spring season. After preparing themselves through participation in many Colorado matches, they hosted the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Regional Championships during spring break and walked away with the high-over-all championship by dominating both the American and International Skeet Events. The team placed second to the University of Nebraska in Modified Clay Pigeon and second to Casper College of Wyoming in American Trap.
At the National Intercollegiate Championships at Peoria, Illinois, the Trap Team of Eric Best, Kevin Perry, Scott Schroeder, Roger Witt, and Bill Roy knocked down a 96.1% score to take the national title. Their second place finish in the Modified Clay Pigeon Event earlier established them as a real powerhouse.
The Skeet Team won third place trophies in American and International Skeet and accumulated individual trophies in several classes. Bill Roy and Scott Schroeder were third and fourth in International Skeet. Schroeder won the Class D championship and Mark Murray won Class E in American Skeet. Scott Schroeder won the high-over-all bronze medal for his combined score in the four events. Roy, Schroeder, Witt, Perry, and Dan
Shewmaker earned invitations to the U.S. World Shooting Team tryouts.
Club members maintained a close association with both the Hunting Club and the Rampart Range Sportsmen Club. Few weekends went by without participation in some activity.
Cadets were introduced to many recreational shotgun games such as "Quail Walk," "Annie Oakley," "Rabbit Run," and "Buddy Shoots"
which were used to settle many small wagers.
The official United States Air Force Academy mascot is the white gyrfalcon. Since the death of Baffin in early 1978, the Academy has been without a mascot, other than the performing prairie falcons, which are displayed at Falcon football games. In an effort to remedy this situation, the Academy made several attempts to obtain a new bird. The governments of Finland and Canada were contacted through official channels, but were unable to provide a new gyr. On the 25th of June 1980, the Academy launched its own expedition to Alaska in a final effort to obtain a new mascot.
The expedition was led by Capt. Cerry Henningsen, the Academy's base veterinarian and OIC of the cadet falconry program. The balance of the team consisted of: Dr. James H. Enderson, a recognized world expert on falcons; Alan Springer, an Alaskan biologist familiar with the proposed search area; and Ritt Enderson, Dr. Enderson's son, who served as the expedition's official recorder. The party found a falcon nesting site on 30 June, but the eyas (young falcons) were only a few days old and it was impossible to determine their coloration.
The search party continued to search the Seward Penninsula for another week, locating 30 other nesting sites with 59 live young, none of which were white. Before giving up and returning to the Academy, the team returned to the first nesting location they had identified and were pleasantly surprised to find the nest contained, not one, but two white (actually very pale grey) gyr falcons.
Since their permits, issued by the Alaskan game department, only permitted the capture of one bird, they selected the stronger and healthier of the two. The capture expedition returned to the Academy on 9 July 1980 with the Academy's new mascot, Glacier. The POLARIS extends its greeting to Glacier, the newest member of the Cadet Wing.

It's LMD Friday. The engines in the lower, lower, lower lot are revving up for another weekend on the town. Will it be Burger King, Taco Bell, McDonalds, or the cadet laundromat. It all depends on what coupons are left in the all-mighty Gold "C" book. Relax, sit down, put your feet up and lets have a look at the cadet at his leisure.
Webster's defines leisure as "free unoccupied time during which a person may indulge in rest, recreation, etc." One is at one's leisure "when one has the time and opportunity." Come LMD Friday most of us who have not engaged in any recent skirmishes with the Dean or the Comm have the time and opportunity to do something somewhere other than USAFA. Time and opportunity are one thing, means and motivation are another.
Whoever said the best things in
life are free was out of touch with the real world. Everything in life costs something. Nuts and berries won't get you into Cinema 70, and the beads and trinkets which were used to purchase Manhattan from the Indians a couple hundred years back won't get you past the "wait for Hostess to seat you" sign at the 1-Hop today. Times have changed.
The first and most important stop
for any cadet who forgets to cash a check at the bank on Friday is Clarks gas station which still preserves a touching old-fashioned trust in the ability of cadets to balance their checkbooks. If your plans for the evening cost more than $20 plan to
do something else.
Motivation is a given factor. Any excuse (the GR you failed, the IRI you failed, the PCE you failed, the GR you passed, the ORI you passed, the PFT you passed,) can be construed as a valid excuse to celebrate. Its LMD Friday. Downtown Colorado Springs is magically transformed into a giant extension of Arnold Hall. If you don't want to see any cadets for a while stay in the dormitory.
But where do they go? (Where don't they go?) For the flat-out broke to the unbelievably cheap cadet, there is the cadet laundromat conveniently located next to Leon G's where pizza may be purchased by the slice in case you need your last quarter to dry your clothes. On any given weekend cadets can always find good conversation and good company hunched over the coin-fed washers protecting their territorial rights.
For the moderately cheap, ternporarily solvent cadet, there are always the movies. Tell your date that popcorn has been recognized by scientists to be nature's most perfect diet food and you won't have to buy dinner. For the shy and socially inept cadet the movies are a good deal. You can sit in the dark for two hours and not be expected to talk. When the lights come up, grunt a few sentence fragments about the Academy Awards and everyone will think you're suave and in touch with what's happening in America today.
For the last of the big-time spenders, there are real restaurants
“Bennigan's
with tablecloths and silverware and everything. In recent times Bennigans, and Meadow Muffins have seen a lot of cadet customers, to the point when one walks in he believes he has stepped back into the upperclass lounge. The Hungry Farmer, Three Thieves and the Black Angus are also cadet favorites. A little less known and a little more out of the way are places like Wind Song, Zebs, and Williams for those who do not desire an evening listening to fragments of cadet shop talk: "Did you hear about CDB got discretion will get his car loan

Today the city offers something for everyone no matter what their tastes and pay allowances might be the best of all possible worlds for the cadet at leisure.
Swenson's has a perfect location next to Bennigan's. The sign says it all! Cadet cars always need a wash at one of many car washes in C-Springs.

In few other places here at the "blue zoo" do cadets get a laugh at themselves and their surroundings as much as they do in the DODO. It always pointed fun at those things in the Cadet Wing that weren't necessarily fun, and for at least a moment, even caused the Commandant to take things a little less seriously.
Nothing was sacred to the DODO as everything from sports, summer programs, Mitchell Hall, instructors,
81 & Jim Schwindt, '81
AOC's and even the movies got the knife via the DODO. Of course, all was done in fun, with the final intent to bring forth laughs from usually morbid cadet faces.
Here has been placed what was felt to be some of the best of DODO. Let us always remember to laugh, even when laughter seems to be impossible. I mean, who ever thought a jar of peanut butter could be funny?

Cadet humor would not be complete without
It was early in December, and Waldo was walking back from his last class of the day B.S. 110.
"All Captain Braggart talks about are the "brown shoe days/' thought Waldo.
It was early afternoon, so Waldo thought he would get some rack time before going to the Friday night buffet at Mitches.
"Gosh, am I ever tired. I guess I (yawn) had ZZZ."
Waldo fell asleep.
"Sir! There are 11 minutes until the evening meal .", screamed the minute callers.
Remembering what day it was, he though he had been dreaming.
"We don't go to meals on Fri ."
"Sir, there are ten minutes .," bellowed the doolies.
"Gosh, what have I forgot?," wondered Waldo as he scurried around the room, attempting to get dressed in as short a time as possible. As Waldo was dressing, he noticed how clean and orderly the room looked.
"Wow, it's not ever this clean, even before a SAMI. I'll bet C4C Kant Winn spent some 3M pads and generic cleanser on this job."
The second Waldo stepped into the hall, he was acoustically accosted by six upperclassmen who he had never seen before.
"Mister, what is your problem?!!! I only count three chins, don't you realize that this squadron's minimum is seven?!!!" Another jumped in. "You've got negative to get to dinner mister move out! You don't even want to be late!"
"What a buck-up," fumed Waldo as he hit warp drive, causing his corfams to smoke slightly and leave rubber streaks in the hall.
"Hold it! Well, well, well we've got a SMACK who thought he didn't have to get a tuck before coming out into the hall. Drop for 20 squat-thrusts Dumbsquat! Get up, give yourself a tuck nope, not good enough drop for 20 more ."
Exactly 127 squat-thrusts later, and the best tuck Waldo had ever given himself (or anyone else for that matter), he was once again on his way. After emerging outside, he noticed how much newer everything looked, and he didn't even recognize the planes on the terrazzo.
"Holy edge dressing, they must have really fixed this place up for the Supt's Ball."
It was then he noticed steam coming from the Air Gardens.
"And beautiful fountains! I must be dreaming or something." He pinched himself to insure that he was not.
"Hey Smack!" (He was not dreaming) "Drive out here! One, you were grossly gazing, and two, you were not walking on the marble strip."
Reflecting, Waldo now noticed that all of the strips were real marble and not one of them was cracked. Waldo hadn't been walking on the strips because of the ice and they were considered a safety hazard.
"Now then Mister, why were you gazing?"
"I was looking at ."
"What's the answer to a 'why question' Smack? Drop and give me 20 squad-thrusts, Dumbsquat!"
Waldo's legs were beginning to hurt like they never hurt before.
"Why weren't you walking on the marble strops?"
"No excuse Sir!"
"Give me a reason."
"It was the ice sir."
"You trying to blow smoke at me mister? Can't you see the sky is blue? Drop for 20 ."
"Waldo finally made it to dinner, but not before having to "drive out there" and do nearly 500 more squat-thrusts.
"Mister Dumbsquat," said the Table Comm, "give me cadets in the Wing by squadron."
"Sir, the cadets in the Wing are as follows .," sputtered Waldo, "Lord, how much more ridiculous can this get," he thought.
"I'll give you a hint," said the Table Comm, "it's Aardvark in CS-01."
"Sir, I do not know," choked Waldo.
"Don't know!!!" bellowed the Firstie.
It was then the mighty staff tower (affectionately called the B.S. balcony by the Firsties) came in. "Wing, Ah-Ten-Hut! Wing, Stand-At-East!"
After "take seats" was given and Waldo and two other harassed doolies had passed out the food and drink, the real trouble began.
"Dumbsquat!"
"Yes Sir!"
"Keep your eyes caged on your plate emblem. Is that clear?"
"Yes Sir!"
"You don't want to miss that enemy fighter that is going to shoot you down because your peripheral vision wasn't properly developed in Mitchell Hall, do you?"
"No Sir!"
"Mister Dumbsquat"
"Yes Sir."
"Get your shoulders back and down."
"Yes Sir."
"Mister Dumbsquat"
"Forehead back, chin in."
"Yes Sir!"
"Dumbsquat"
"Yes Sir!"
Find out from the waiter what we're having next month for breakfast."
"Yes Sir."
"Carry On."
No reply is necessary Mister Dumbsquat! Just snap your head back. Carry on!"
^Mr. Sanches, called Waldo, "what are we having
120 Cadet Humor
"Hey Table Comm/' said the waiter / "this SMACK here didn't address me as Sir."
"Mister Dumbsquat/' said the Table Comm, "can't you handle pressure?"
"No Sir! I mean yes Sir!"
"If you can't handle simple pressure here in Mitchell Hall, you won't be able to eat your box lunch while on a B-52 strike over Hanoi. I'm going to do you a favor Dumbsquat. I'm going to make you pass your plate up to keep you from tying up. Is that clear?"
"Yes Sir! Thank you Sir!"
"Mister Dumbsquat, only one 'Sir' per statement, and you don't have to thank me it's my job."
Waldo finally made it through dinner. He was pulled out into the "vulture line" more times than he cared to remember, and his aching legs! Because he didn't have on brown shoes, he was ordered to remove his shoes, at which time they were promptly tossed into one of the Air Garden's fountains. He was told that black corfams were for officers only and never for cadets. Upon arriving back at the dorm, he noticed a formation of doolies at the bottom of the stairwell, into which he was immediately herded without reason.
"Gentlemen," boomed a Firstie with more silver on his shoulders than the entire doolie class, "for your constant and consistent tying up at the evening meal tonight, you will run 50, I repeat 50, wind sprints up and down the stairs two at a time. Questions? Good begin."
Waldo sickened as the forthclassmen were run up and down the stairs, time and time again. Waldoknew something had to be done. Out from behind the wall of sickened doolies strodeCol Dumbsquat, a man who could see behind himself with his peripheral vision, a man who could eat anything while flying over Hanoi, and a man who never ate at Mitches.
.Stairwell-ah-Ten-Hut!" bellowed the Firstie.
"Great guy, just terrific," said Col Dumbsquat as he strode over to stand in front of the now trembling Firstie. "I'll just bet you think you're something fella, don't you? You will run two windsprints yourself for every windsprint the 4°'s would have had to run. At the conclusion of which, you will clean up the stairwell using only your hands. Afterwhich you will report to the Commandant, resign your rank, and write yourself up for a Class VI CDB. 100 tours Mister. Do I make myself clear 'centurion'?"
"Yes Sir!" gulped the Firstie.
"Doolies carry on," said Col Dumbsquat.
Waldo went immediately to his room and went to sleep, he was pooped. He was awakened by C4C Winn coming in and slamming the door.
"I'm sick 'cause I ate too much of Mitchell Hall's food," whined Winn. "And then on top of that, I had a 2° stop me on the terrazzo and ask me to get my hands out of my pockets and to quit slouching. What a Zit! Ya know Waldo," whimpered Winn, "sometimes this place really gets me."
"If you only knew," thought Waldo, "if you only knew."

What happens to the cadets who do not experience the thrill of seeing their hats thrown up, and then scavenged by crazed juvenile delinquents on graduation day? Many leave only to attend other universities the very next semester. Still others leave the Wing with hopes of someday returning to its ranks. I left without any plans for college, and certainly without any hopes of returning to the hallowed halls of Sijan. I left however, certain that nothing could be tougher than the Air Force Academy.
The act of involuntarily "punching out" or bilging out, as spoken at Annapolis goes quite a distance in destroying one's self-esteem. I left the North Gate on that cold overcast day; but I had no idea of where I was going, or what I would do once I arrived. Self-confidence destroyed, I left a thoroughly cracked, if not a broken man.
I managed to arrange a stay with some friends in downtown Colorado Springs until I could get something set up on my own. Actually this was the family of my doolieyear - roommate's girlfriend. Becka's horrendous blind dates had led me into the valley of social death on many occasions. Although not always on speaking terms following such outings, we had a strong friendship. Her parents, although critical of the Air Force, (her father had spent four years playing tuba with the Air Force Band in Japan) strongly supported cadetsand their fast-paced life style. This family was my source of confidence and security, at a time when such commodities were in short supply.
After learning how to tell time using the acronyms "a.m." and "p.m." again, my next major task was to find gainful employment. Initially I had to assess my marketable abilities. In high school I was: a camp counselor, a cook in a Polish restaurant, a paperboy with tenure, and a pearl diver in a Chinese restaurant. Those jobs were fine while in high 122 War Slory jL
school. At that time my total expenses resulted from restringing my tennis racquet to Stroh's Beer bought on Friday nights. Now however, I would be responsible for a roof over my head, food in my stomach, and wheels under my feet.
Looking to the back pages for help wanted ads, and looking to the back of my mind for helpful USAFA experiences, I found that I was well versed in Air Force doctrine, but I knew nothing of real estate; I could score from 30 yards out in flickerball, but I had no experience in arcwelding. Sure, I'd been Recondo as a Basic Cadet, but the current job openings for mercenaries in Colorado Springs, or even Pueblo, were limited. I soon came to the realization that I was not going to be sitting behind a desk employing what I had learned during four semesters of calculus. The only way I was going to subsist was by using my back.
After a week of "minesweeping" every industrial park in Colorado Springs I landed my first job. I was to pilot a garbage truck for a garbage company. It was not quite what I had in mind, but to use a simile I often used on unshaven basics, I needed a job like a pig needs slop! The job paid $210 a week. The wage, however, was well earned. I worked from 5:15 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. six days a week.
Although hired as a driver, I had absolutely no experience with 10speed transmissions or with garbage trucks. Considering the condition of the trucks themselves, my inexperience was as much a virtue as a vice.
My first ship, Truck #3, possessed no significant transmission linkage and consequently no third gear. The operating procedure required one to increase the R.P.M.s in second gear to the point where the motor screeched like a cat with its tail in a car door, and then quickly shift directly into fourth gear without stalling out the engine. For a guy who averages 15 to 20 "hacks" each time he shaves, this was no ordinary task.
Another problem with "Ole #3" was its lack of a door latch on the driver's side. Each time I managed to negotiate a right hand turn, the door would whip open into the oncoming traffic's left hand turn lane.
After two weeks with #3 she was condemned by the Public Utilities Commission. Like all great warriors, her service number was retired.
The demise of #3 was a great relief to me, because I now expected to receive a normal, functioning vehicle. This was not to be the case. However I later learned that #3 was a sacrifice to the inspecting officials in hopes of them overlooking the other trucks. After all, they had already gotten a kill. The ploy obviously worked because the next truck I was charged with was no better than #3.
When introduced to the truck I did not realize the magnitude of the challenge confronting me until the mechanic took a screwdriver from the back of his greasy Levis and proceeded to show me how to start the engine. Although she did not burn two gallons of oil daily (like #3), from the dents in the dashboard and the thrashed seat upholstery, #15 obviously had no definite third or fourth gear. I started to consider my current position relative to where I was only one month ago.
After a few weeks working in what I called "Trashland," the routine began to take its toll upon my mental, as well as my physical, well being. The 15 hour days spent toiling among mad dogs, maggots, and dirty diapers began to make me fear waking up each morning. Upon returning from the dump each night I had to hose myself down in the front yard to keep the stench, which was now my calling card, from infesting the house.
As I awoke at the alarm's 4:30 a.m. outburst, I could not help but wish that I was back in school doing something anything that I might gain satisfaction from. I was beginning to understand that I had not realized how good the cake tasted until it was
taken from my grasp.
My initial month in "Trashland" was spent in OJT. I drove with an IP named Dave. He had dropped out of the ministry in Minnesotaafter three years in college. He now found the garbage business more lucrative than his former job as a shoe store manager. Dave was bright, conscientious, and fast. The latter being a highly coveted virtue among garbage pickers. I actually ran more in one day in "Trashland" than in a week of BCT. I ran from house to house, truck to alley, alley to truck; I could not believe the physical stamina required to accomplish the job efficiently. Was this the way Frank Shorter started out?
After graduating from UGT (Undergraduate Garbage Truckin'), and having survived Ole #3 and #15, I was booted out of the nest and began to work alone. This is where my real problems began. My first day out was, although slow moving, initially uneventful. I was attacked by only one stray dog, but to counter, a lovely coed, home on summer break, told me that I was the best looking garbage man she had ever seen. This was taken as a compliment. However, by four o'clock I was well behind schedule. In an attempt to recover lost time, I decided to get from one street to another parallel street via a private driveway that traversed the two.
Moving carefully along I noticed that I was under the overhang of the landowner's house. I was at first alarmed. I then came to the conclusion that I must have enough clearance since I had not hit anything yet. What I did not consider was the fact that although the roof overhang was horizontal, the driveway's grade was increasing. Before I knew what had happened I was wedged between the horizontal overhang and the ever increasing grade ofthe ground. The timbers let out a bone chilling scream as the stress threatened to destroy half the house. The truck came to a jerky halt as I calmly put the brake pedal through the floor board.
After surveying the situation I found that I was able to go neither forward or backward without destroying the house. I decided upon the
frontal assault. I advanced ever so slowly as the ever loudening screeches brought my ears to the point of hemorrhaging. Able to stand the suspense no longer, I gunned the engine, popped the clutch, and tore $1300 worth of the house down.
After leaving a note for the absent owners, I proceeded back to the dump in a near catatonic state to inform the boss of the catastrophe. After threatening me with the $500 insurance deductible, I returned to duty. The frustration and aloneness drove me, now more than ever, to yearn for another place.
Two days later I destroyed an apartment building's log carport while backing the truck up to the dumpster in the back alley. Being quite accustomed to such occurrences now, I proceeded to explain the situation to the manager. She, however, was a nut and proceeded to abuse me verbally with an irrational psuedo accent. I was now at wits end and dreaded every moment spent at, or contemplating, my job. The money was good though, and consequently, I couldn't afford to quit.
The next day I was issued a new truck with which I was totally unfamiliar. This is not meant to suggest that I was familiar with any of the other trucks I drove. I hopped inside with hopes of good fortune for the day. As I proceeded to my route, I noticed an acute sluggishness in the vehicle. With the accelerator on the floor the truck still moved very slowly. I was soon to realize the cause of the problem.
As I drove down the road, smoke suddenly started to come up through the floorboards. Within seconds the cab was totally enveloped in thick black smoke. I opened the window and the black jinni billowed out. I was unable to see at all; I turned on the windshield wipers in a fit of desperation. No help. I stopped at a red light. Other motorists looked on in amazement as I coughed and choked uncontrollably. It was here that I decided to release the parking brake or at least what was left of it. With this minor problem taken care of, I continued on my merry way.
After stopping the truck at a house on Scotia and Platte I jogged over two fences and into the alley. As I put the offal into my carry-can I heard a woman hollering, "Hey garbage man, your truck is rolling away!" Looking up I saw the truck wheeling backwards toward Platte Avenue and the eight o'clock Blitz. I dropped my carry-can and sprinted for the truck hopping fences along the way. I managed to reach the cab and hop in before the Deathmobile and I reached the interesction.
After two more similar occurrences, I determined that the parking brake was not working quite up to par. I called the office on the truck's CB and I informed them of the problem. They insisted that no such problem existed, and beseeched me in less eloquent terms to return to my job.
The next house I stopped at was on a steep hill. I toiled with one eye on the trash and the other on the truck. At one point I turned completely around to lift a stack of shingles. The next thing I knew, the truck was upon the lawn of a house down the street. The truck approached a large trunked tree. I felt sure the tree would stop the truck. No such luck! The tree bowed until it could bow no longer; it then snapped at the base of the trunk.
Totally digusted with the events of the last two hours specifically, and the last six weeks in general, I informed the unlucky owners. To my surprise, the family said they were going to have the tree cut down anyway. They then asked if I would haul it away for them; it was the least I could do. They brought out the McCullough and hacked the birch into kindling. For my efforts the family rewarded me with a six-pack of Coors.
The next morning I was fired. And I thought the Academy was tough. Take a good hard look at where you are, and the next time you're moaning about your AOC, or your Mech instructor, or those lousy SAMIs, just sit back and imagine where you could be.

The "Dark Ages" at USAFA are like a church disco during a power outage. You can't have any fun unless you're with friends.
Hey doolie wheel out here.
So you think you eventually want to be an upperclassman? Ha! Do you think you're strong enough to make it? Can you hack USAFA? I mean, I know how you handled Beast and how you could probably validate the fourthclass system and all, but even if you can validate physics 211, 311 and 411 and PMS, you might just fall short of making it to recognition. They warned you about that firsthaircut. You heard about the nutritional value of assault course (SIR) dirt. You've heard "wait until Hell Week" in exponentials, and SERE sounds like some wild outrageous cult initiation ritual where everybody eats ants and screams "Ches! Ches! Stupid ones!" You are, however, obviously uninformed about the ultimate USAFA challenge: THE DARK AGES.
You can't possibly be ready as long as you plan to sign-out any time between 5 January and 20 March. You're kidding yourself if you expect to kiss-off Chem 102 energy shells to write the girl or guy back home very

often. They'll stop writing to you about the time the Dean starts writing about you to your AOC. Only those doolies who accept boxing as a religion can single-handedly conceive of an end to the season. Friend, you are not ready. If you expect to be around when (and if) spring reappears, you've got to be prepared. Are you ready for the day somebody accidently takes your gloves 20 minutes before lunch? Do you know how to handle a noon meal while out barehanded? Can you eat ice cream and then venture into an ice crystal filled world sans jacket? If concepts such as rapid body heat
entropy in action thrill you, you might just survive.
If you're more into social activities such as wine and song, or whatever the case may be, brace yourself (no pun intended, doolies). The "Dark Ages" have a tendency to bring out USAFA's monastic tendencies. As you climb across the terrazzo sometimes the fog is punctured by phrases that sound faintly of Gregorian times. The combination of your black hooded vestments, coarse and unlined; your day in and day out task of cryptic decipherment; and your lack of contact with the modern world sometimes turn calls of "Mornin' sir,
Rebels" into the medieval phrase of similar meaning, "Pater, nos volar minimus, in excelsis deo."
Your English teacher starts to look more and more like a monk and you occasionally catch yourself about to call him "Father Dominic" instead of "Sir." You find yourself taking notes in class that go beyond mere doodles and start to resemble Gutenberg bibles. Your faith is reinforced by the fact that you're already up, showered (iced) and fed in time to see God arise each day. You notice that the elders around you who have long ago forsaken boxing, strangely ritualize coffee, and many of your peers worship fuzzy blueblankets. Only the hardy survive.
126 The Dark Ages
There is another scenario that looms for those whose imaginations haven't snapped in the cold. You might envision a great aluminum castle, replete with gargoyles and bats, situated upon a great isolated hill. It looks like something Boris Karloff would have adored, with fog that crunches and winds approaching mach velocity. You could picture unsuspecting innocents stumbling in from thecold only to find themselves trapped in a fortress of unrelenting torture. Unable to endure the elements any longer, the innocents are forced to battle monsters such as training officers and operations sergeants, not to mention Mitchell Hall dragons and black knight D.I.s. In hidden alcoves strange men whose remaining hair stands white on end seem to be devising methods of torture called Chem and Mech.
In a nearby portion of the complex weird figures are seen as they concoct food stuffs so dangerous that the natives resort to buying cheese-filled crackers from vending machines. Elsewhere in thealuminum abode, the innocents are driven from consciousness by more subtle methods of torture called history, political science and a variety of languages, all finely honed and developed over the centuries and passed clandestinely from master to master. All around, odd and numerous creatures called 3°s, 2°s, and 1°s (so named due to the extent to which they burn their
The sun occasionally shines on the Monks of USAFA. Cadets struggle thru the Dark Ages in hopes of brighter days.
victims) roam in search of flammable material. Guided by a warlord staff, the beings assemble daily in a fiery feast reminiscent of medieval witch hunts. Only the strong ever again emerge to see society.
Finally doolie, a prominent way of dealing with USAFA's three month long holiday season hangover is the "I'm Luke Skywalker and this is the death star" routine. You can see during this period at least one rebel fighter pilot jedi knight warrior (sir) candidate seemingly surrounded by hordes of empire droids (the guys in white helmets who always end up shooting each other). You might look with Luke for his light saber, for with it returned to his grip, even Darth Vader would be in peril. In the meantime you can observe him putting the "force" to work trying to steal Vader's shoulder boards.
This method of coping with the "Dark Ages" quickly comes to an end when our young freedom fighter gets a "Dear Luke" letter from Princess Leia who has run off with Flan "ROTC" Solo. Soon thereafter Luke is told by the empire that his hair is longer than most Wookie's, without his princess or his light saber, and with the millenium falcon (no, not Andy Bark) in another part ofthe galaxy, he retreats to Tatooine. While the others party at the empire cantine, Luke scrubs his floor, the "force" no longer with him.
Indeed, dear doolie, no matter what your scenario, it takes a special kind of strength to live through the "Dark Ages." Being Luke Skywalker doesn't put mail in your box. Parkas are no refuge in a castle of horrors, and 4° study guides are not the key to survival when you're abode is a Midwestern monastery.
However, there really is an inspiration, a way to survive USAFA's darkest age. It is indeed possible to spend three months as a monk, or as a medieval castle captive, or as the recipient of an empire onslaught. The secret is in numbers. You've heard enough to be up for a lot of the other challenges USAFA has to offer, but you'll only survive the "Dark Ages" if you stick together with your fellow "Dark Ages" dwellers, be they monks, innocents, freedom fighters or whatever. Get up for everything else but get together for the "Dark Ages." Carry on. Yeh, beat 'em.
As the wind swirls the snow across the terrazzo, a brave cadet trudges to class. As the fog lifts, the Chapel takes on an eerie effect."And there they are ladies and gentlemen, the United States Air Force Academy Team, the Wings of Blue!" The narrator's words boom over the loud speakers as the distinctive blue and white canopies spiral down and swoop in for graceful, stand-up landings. This past year, over 750,000 people saw and heard this show at 41 demonstrations by the "Wings of Blue" across the nation.
In addition to the many demonstrations performed by the team, another very successful aspect of their endeavors was competition. There are three basic categories in competitive sport parachuting. Style is an individual event in which the jumper performs a set series of 360-degree turns and backloops on heading to a ground target, and is timed. Accuracy is also performed individually and in this event, jumpers aim for a disc which is ten centimeters in diameter
and attempt to step on it. Scores are tabulated by measuring the distance from the disc to the point on the ground where the jumper first touches down. To illustrate the extreme precision possible in this event, C1C Kevin Silva won more than one parachute meet with a perfect total of 0.00 cm for as many as four jumps. The third category of competition is called Relative Work and is normally done with four jumpers who freefall together, joining to build a certain sequence of different formations in the air.
The cadet parachute team has dominated the National Collegiate Championships for the past 14 years. Team member, C1C Kevin Silva, captured the overall individual National Collegiate Championship honors for two years in a row (1979 and 1980), also winning the accompanying Andre Istel scholarship.
The team has also dominatec Tri-Service Academy parachute com' petition for many years. The Air Fore* Academy hosted the Naval anc Military Academies at the 198( Tri-Service meet where the Air Foret team garnered 35 of the 55 available awards.
Cadets competed in the 1980 U.S National Championships where tean member, C1C Amy Markert was the first cadet from any Service Academy to be chosen for the national team She competed in the World Cham' pionships at Kazanlak, Bulgaria along with nine other men and women fron the United States.
Another very important facet o the parachute team activities is the AM-490 program. Supervised by ar extremely talented and professiona staff of officers and NCO's, the cadet: on the team perform the bulk o instructor and jumpmaster duties foi this basic free-fall parachuting course Although this is probably the mos time consuming of their responsibili ties, many of the "blue-suiters' agree that it is also the mos rewarding. The AM-490 program thi past year put out a total of 55( graduates. Each graduate completed I hours of academic instruction, 1! hours of ground training, and the ! jumps that earned each of them thei military parachutist's badge and rat ing. The Academy is the only Ai Force unit authorized to award tha rating.
Beyond the AM-490 course, then are three other parachuting course offered to a select few who hav* shown aptitude and interest in mor< advanced parachuting.

chute team, with cuts being made periodically throughout the year. Those who pass all requirements during this period of time earn their "Blue Suits" and a place on the Academy Parachute Team.
AM-496 is the course which all team members have earned enrollment in, and once again, they spend weekday afternoons and weekends polishing their own parachuting skills and teaching the basic free-fall course to other cadets.
The 1980-81 cadet team, captained by C1C Pat Duffy, consisted of Firstclassmen: A. J. Britschgi, Rich Brook, Scott Butcher, Jersey Castillo, Miles Crowell, Todd Denning, Pat Duffy, Mike Kadlubowski, Amy Markert, Kevin Silva and Gregg Verser; seven Secondclassmen: Bob Carroll, Phil Contorno, Todd Dehann, Lori Fulton, Dave Grilley, Austen Meyer and Dean Mills; and one Thirdclassman, Mike Wermuth.

Wings of Blue
To an actor's ears, applause is the sweetest music in the world. This past year, those in the Academy drama club, the Bluebards, were not deprived of its flavor. With the production of two vastly different shows, the club again showed that it had the talent and versatility to handle anything.
In the Fall, Shakespeare came to the stage of the F-1 Theatre as the Bluebards gave their lively interpretation of the classic "Taming of the Shrew." The play required that several actors don specially made period costumes and unusual personality disguises.
The Spring musical, Sugar, was a challenge for everyone. It was probably one of the most ambitious
musicals attempted at the Academy, and with a new OIC for the Bluebards, it was even more of a challenge, fudging by the audience approval, Sugar was an unqualified success.
After this year, some may feel that the Bluebards have gone as far as possible. Thanks to the effortsof Maj. Ray Harlan, the club's attendance and reputation grew tremendously. Maj. Armstrong, the new OIC, inherited a living well-balanced production group.
Arnold Hall Theatre also grew in its capabilities. New tools which were desperately needed were obtained and added to the existing equipment. A computer-programmable light board was installed just last year, and a new sound system will be installed.
Shakespeare came to the Bluebard's stage for the first time in the club's history in the ever popular "The Taming of the Shrew" which was presented as the fall play. It was a special time for all. As Maj Raymond C. Harlan's final directing effort before leaving the Academy, the play was an unprecedented success.
Thanks to the efforts of Mrs. Arlene Grauch and Mrs. Carolyn Ford, the cast was able to perform in specially made costumes.
Besides presenting the play four times to an enthusiastic cadet audience in F-1, the cast and crew were invited to perform at the Brown Palace in Denver before a convention of Modern Language teachers from
the Rocky Mountain area. Despite many unusual problems that arose in transitioning from a set stage atmosphere to a bare platform in the hotel, the cast and crew performed with enthusiasm and vigor. As Linda McCullers, who played "Bianca," said, "We could have toured forever."
Playing the leads were Barbara Huggett as "Katherina" and Chris Kapellas as "Petruchio." As Chris was wooing Barbara on stage, Linda McCullers kept the audience entranced as she kept four suiters at bay, under the not-so-watchful eye of her father "Batista," played by Todd Tasseff, the Bluebard's president. Jim Robinson, who played "Lucentio,"
With an increased budget, the club will be able to put on even more professional shows.
As attendance figures grew, so did the Bluebards membership. The future promises to be even brighter. Besides a fall play and spring musical, the Bluebards would like to stage several traveling dinner theatre plays for other Academy activities.
With the increased support from all directions, the Bluebards hope to move closer toward their dream of becoming truly a part of the "entertainment of the Academy." It'll take more actors and more crew, but with the energy and talent of the Cadet Wing, the Bluebards are well on their way.
finally won Bianca under an assumed identity. Chris Broyhiil, Bob Nuanes, and Tim Sakulich all put on fine performances as Bianca's three other suiters.
Overall, the play was a definite change of pace, one that was enjoyed by all.

Is "Lucentio," C1C Jim Robinson, really interested in teaching "Bianca" Latin?
C2C Chris Kapellas as "Petruchio," proves to be more than a match for the spirited "Katherina." Right: C2C Chris Brayhill (right) and C4C Robert Nuances (left) star as "Bianca's" two amorous suiters.
Sugar is the Broadway version of Marilyn Monroe's famous movie Some Like It Hot. Who could resist the appeal of the dumb blond and her friendship with the two masquerading male musicians on the run from Chicago gangsters.
Serious—the show was not, but with a tap-dancing group of gangsters, an all-girl band, and a lovable old millionaire, who fell for one of the disguised male musicians, it was hilarious!
Playing the part of "Sugar" was Bluebards veteran C1C Maureen-Rose O'Connor. With a blond wig and a complete personality change, she fit the part to a "T." C1C John Jackson had the difficult part of playing three separate parts: the penniless musician Joe, Josephine (his cover for joining the all-girl band), and the fake millionaire, Junior. He pulled it off with flair, but what can you expect from the veteran of four Bluebards productions?
C3C William Thaden did exceptionally well playing the part of Jerry, Joe's partner. When he transitioned to his female disguise, Daphne, he almost brought down the house. A
total success is the only description anyone can call his first Bluebards role.
Several other cadets put on splendid performances. As Sir Osgood Fielding, C1C Ed Knox left an impression on the audience that will be remembered as much for its humor as well as its excellence. "Sweet Sue," the not-so-nice band director, was played by another Blubard's veteran, C1C Janice Gunnoe.
C4C William Eichenberger won the love and sympathy of the audience with his portrayal of the band's manager, "Bienstock" just as C2C Mark Baker tap-danced his way into the audience's hearts. In other words, everyone did a super job.
As with the fall play, acting and script weren't everything. It took someone to put it all together. That person was the director, Maj. Mike Armstrong. With the Academy's 557th T-41 squadron as an Instructor Pilot, Maj. Armstrong was also the new Officer-In-Charge ofthe Bluebards. His drive and determination molded the performance into a piece of art.
Obviously, a musical takes more
than a director to make it work. SSgt Robin Forrester handled the difficult and fast-paced job of Musical Director. A member of the Concert Band and the Moods in Blue, her musical credits includethe Tucson Symphony, Tucson Opera Company, Colorado Springs Chorale, Colorado Springs Opera Company and far too many others to list. ''Well-qualified" is definitely an understatment when referring to SSgt Forrester.
The Commander and Conductor of the Air Force Academy Band, Maj. John D. McCord served as Conductor for the musical.
Of course, no musical would be totally complete without a choreographer. Fortunately, the Bluebards had the talents of a professional, Mrs. Carolyn Ford. Besides handling the job of choreographer she personally made and collected many of the costumes. Without these people, Sugar could not have been the success it undoubtedly was.
C3C Bill Thaden, as "Jerry," and C1C John Jackson as "Joe," find jobs scarce during the Depression.

Red, blue and green lights twinkled on the Christmas tree which reached nearly to the ceiling of the Arnold Hall Ballroom. The winding staircases were strewn with green pine tree cuttings which added a special scent to the festivities and which made each person aware that it was finally Christmas.
After a whirlwind semester of BCT, academics, football, Smoker's Nights, more academics, military duties, and more academics it was awesome to stop for a few moments to see such a beautiful sight that night ofthe Superintendent's Christmas Ball.
The semester was almost over it was almost time to go home to family and friends whether to the
cities of New York or California; the farms of Iowa, or Nebraska; or a distant Air Force Base around the world. It was Christmas a time to temporarily forget about the chrome, the steel, and the glass. But it was also a time to remember that no matter where we ventured we were still cadets and our lives had been touched by special experiences which
created a pride that would follow us not only thru a career but a lifetime.
As we all glanced at that beautiful glittering tree and watched the candle light bounce off the sabers of the Drill Team as it performed for Superintendent General Tallman and his guests, we all knew that although we were ready to go home for a Christmas visit, we'd be equally anxious to return to continue our pursuit of excellence.
The Supt's Christmas Ball was a spectacular event with the sparkling tree reaching close to the ceiling of Arnold Hall. Two cadets dance the night awav at the Supt's Ball. Gen. Tallman's receiving line was constantly busy during his Ball.
The Dean's Ball in February was a welcome event bringing a little cheerfulness to the Dark Ages. Although the Ball was open to all officers, cadets and their dates, the members of the Class of '82 were sent special invitations.
Also known as the Valentine's Ball, the event gave cadets a chance to meet our Dean, General Orth.
If you didn't get into the dance scene, (or you couldn't find someone to dance with), the atmosphere was rather thrilling in itself. Pink, red, and white was to be seen everywhere. Red valentine hearts floated down the length of the room. Carnations on the refreshment tables filled the room with sweet fragrance. Yes, the Dean's Ball was a breath of fresh air in the middle of the Dark Ages.
After a hard year's work, striving for military, athletic and academic excellence, at last the Class of '84 was given recognition for their achievements. Held after a too short spring break, and after a too long Recognition Week, the Recognition Ball was "the" special event for the Cadet Wing's freshmen.
General Beckel, making his first appearance as the new commandant at this ball, greeted the freshmen as they joined the gala event. Congratulations for a super job during Recognition Week were tossed back and forth among all in attendance the General was no exception. "Yes General, it was tough, but we worked together, and we all 'put out' 110%."
The ballroom was filled with cadets in white summer messdress. Music reached all corners of the room. Due to a shortage of women to dance with, most cadets spent the evening telling war stories and eating cookies.
The main attraction had to be the large silver prop & wings display, which was centered over the refreshments table. A blue light shined upon the prop & wings leaving no doubt that this was 84's night!

At 0730 Sunday 17 May, many bleary eyed fourthclassmen gathered into their SARs to face a cold and dreary day. The rain continued to fall and, with the help of about one and a half thousand warm and loving individuals, even the coldest cadet heart was warmed by Monday afternoon. The Special Olympics was a very human moment at this often cold steel and marble institution.
Pure and simple, love was everywhere, as the Special Olympians filled the air with hugs. On the athletic fields the love continued. After months of practice, everyone worked to do his/her best, not necessarily to beat the other person but to reach his or her maximum. It was sort of like two days of Beast on the "O" Course. They cheered each other on and the cadets were cheering every step of the way too. Struggling and sweating, each did his or her best, whether it was in gymnastics, swimming, or track and field. From the smiling faces underneath huge service caps, swimming in athletic jackets far too large, and decorated with ribbons and medals, it was obvious that no one lost.
Encouragement is given with touch of a hand. We all enjoy leaning on someone after a busy day.
148 Special Olympics .L This Olympian was prince for a day in more ways than one.
The Academy seemed vibrant, glowing, and alive. Not since Beast had Arnold Hall been packed with so many happy people and they were dancing. Even the dance floor of the disco was crowded. Despite the weather, the stars came out to honor these special people, from the generals including General Tallman to the founder of the Special Olympics Eunice Kennedy Shriver, Ronald McDonald, and Miss Colorado it was a regular constellation.
On Monday afternoon when they left, more eyes were dampened than by rain alone. It was not just a lesson in strength and determination, but more importantly, an invaluable lesson in love that the Olympians gave the Academy those two days.

The last class has been attended and the last final of one's undergraduate education has been completed. After 2352 classes, 60 finals, and 640 noon meal formations, a firstclassman looks forward to the last and most important June Week of his cadet career. A famous world class runner when asked why he liked to run so much replied, "because it feels so good to stop." It does feel good to finish four years at the Air Force Academy because those years represent a difficult but rewarding challenge.
June Week with its parades, buffets, dances, and ceremonies is a salute to the graduating class and is joyfully shared by all involved in the making of an Air Force Academy graduate: family, friends, officers, NCO's, the community, and the Cadet Wing. It is a time of pomp and pageantry, sharing and caring, unmatched by any other time of the year, and well it should be because the graduation of highly qualified and motivated Air Force officers is what the United States Air Force Academy is all about.
by Joyce Rothleder, '82After a banquet in Mitchell Hall, complete with a "fine rose wine," members of the Class of '82 began to arrive in the Arnold Hall Ballroom for the cake cutting ceremony. Mrs. Brown, the Cadet Wing Hostess had everything and everybody in place for the evening ahead.
In the theatre, cadets and their dates were photographed within the ten foot high '82 rings. Downstairs in the northeast side of the ballroom the Ring Cake was on display, slowly spinning on its platform. The cake stood halfway to the ceiling, with miniature waterfalls on the three branches reaching from the center cake. Decorated with flowers, the 3-tiered, red and white cake was the center of attention.
Blue Steel and The Falconeers performed in the northeast end of the ballroom and the dance floor was filled with dancers.
And then the moment arrived. Cadet aides lined the winding stairwell as Mrs. Beckel and the Cadet Wing Sgt. Major, Dave Synder, began their walk down to the cake. A
drumroll played in the background and a spotlight followed their every move. After cutting the cake with the Wing Commander's saber, Mrs. Beckel and Cadet Synder exchanged pieces of cake much like a newly married couple and the cameras flashed away.
Amid the cadets in their white
mess dress and the atmosphere of happiness and smiles, members of the Class of '82 beamed with pride and all for that ring, the ring of the Class of '82, which each cadet wears with pride.

4th Sq. achieves Honor Squadron - 3rd year in a row!

The Cadet Chorale is one of the best known singing organizations in the Air Force. Composed of cadets from all four classes, the Chorale is maturing into a truly fine mixed chorus after the second year of women's participation in the group. Our versatility increased further as we enjoyed our third year "On-Season," a status that gave us more time to add to our steadily widening music repertoire and to polish our performances.
Although each concert and each trip meant sacrificing valued time and activities to accomplish the Chorale's mission representing the Cadet Wing through music our efforts have brought us even greater rewards.
The trips that the Class of 1981 participated in, each involved three or four days of hard work, very little sleep and lots of fun. We usually sang at two high school assemblies, two churches on Sunday morning, and at least one public concert. These trips enabled us to reach out and touch the lives of thousands of Americans, young and old, from coast to coast.
Our director, Mr. James Roger Boyd, is completing his 24th year as the director of the Cadet Chorale. Since coming here in 1957 (before most of us were born) he has also served as the Protestant Choir Director and Organist. Our associate director, Mr. Edmund L. Ladouceur is also a superb director and musician.
Since 1961, Mr. Ladouceur has been the Catholic Choir Director and Organist and has helped build the Chorale to what it is today. Cadet Chorale officers are: OfficerIn-Charge - Lt. Col. Larry Thacker; Assistant Officer-In-Charge - Capt. John Sherfesee; President - C1C Marty Waugh; Vice-President - C1C
Tom Lawrence; Secretaries - C2C
Carol Foote, C2C Dean Vogel, C2C Atwell Williams; Librarians - C3C
Dwyer Dennis, C3C Pat Eastman, C3C Leslie Forsberg.
Like everything else at the Academy, the Chorale has seen many changes during the four years that the Class of 1981 has been at the 160 Chorale
Academy. But one constant factor has been the tremendous satisfaction and enjoyment that each person gained from their participation in it. As we leave our cadet years behind us, it will be difficult not to remember the Chorale with fondness.

Guests of the graduating cadets filled the cadet chapel and gave the whole scene a wave of color which made the event all the more spectacular.
Three services were held simultaneously Protestant, Catholic
and Jewish. After a full year of practice and performances the cadet choirs were at their best. Chapel personnel monitored the large crowds to keep every detail running smooth'y-
At the Protestant service, Brigadier General Todd, Class of '59 spoke to the congregation. Rabbi Schwartzman spoke at the Jewish service, while Bishop Mugavero was
the guest celebrant for the Catholic mass. All these distinguished guests gave the graduating class a moment to look at what they had accomplished here at the Academy while presenting to them the future challenges of the "real world."

A highlight of the Protestant service was the presentation of two awards to first class cadets who distinguished themselves during their four years here by way of their service and devotion to chapel programs, the choir and to the council. C1C Waugh was awarded the Dean A. Kinder award, while C1C Chapman was awarded the James C. Fey award. In the Jewish services, Bible presentations were made to C1C Chapman, C1C Kline, C1C Richter and C1C Taffet. The Kenneth M. Berg Award was presented to C1C Michael Schilz during the Catholic service.
The Catholic chaplains summed Protestant Cadet Choir Processional
up the whole purpose for these special services in the following paragraph:
We are justifiably proud of our cadet graduates. Their road has not been an easy one. In contrast to their contemporaries graduating from the colleges and universities of the nation, they have led a restricted life. With the purpose of molding them to the unique requirements of the military profession, discipline has been demanding. The Academy's academic courses, military training and athletic requirements have placed rigorous demands upon their time, talent and stamina. It is a tribute to their courage and determination that they have succeeded ..."

Culminating the festivities of June Week was the Graduation Buffet and Dance. Although Mitchell Hall absorbed quite a bit of verbal abuse during the year, especially from Firsties, and the mandatory balls were usually mentioned in the same sentence with several of four-letter words, the Graduation Buffet and Dance were really gala affairs perhaps as a last hurrah for the graduating class.
Mitchell Hall was in rare form for the Graduation Buffet. Colorful ice sculptures graced tables throughout the hall, while long buffet lines of delicious food aromatically reminded the visitor of why they were there.
Shrimp, Lobster, T-Bone, Cheese Quchini, and au-graten potatoes were but to name a few of the delicious entrees included in the menu. Bringing an empty stomach was perhaps the best idea a food lover could have had. It was an evening where all of the "Roast Beef ala woodcock, grape punch, and princess slices" and other plastic descriptions were forgotten.
The Graduation Dance was extraspecial because it preceded the
Swearing-In Ceremony and the sudden realization that four long years were almost over. Reflections on the last four years flowed with unconcealed sentimentality. The verdict that "it really wasn't so bad" and "the time really flew by" carried the day. The dancing became more fun and less inhibited as the clock advanced toward midnight. Finally, as midnight and Swearing-In time approached, nervous Firsties and their dates slowly proceeded to the appointed place where they were to slip the bonds of cadet status forever.
The Class of 1981 gathered at Mitchell Hall for the Graduation Buffet. Buffet decorations included a miniature space shuttle and the Thunderbirds.It's almost over at USAFA but just beginning in the Air Force
I, having been appointed a Second Lieutenant, United States Air Force, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge duties of the office upon which I am about to enter, so help me God.
Basic Training / Doolie Year/ Hell Week, SERE, CCQ, Academics, OnCall, the first car, T-41, Element Leader Reports, Brevet images, people, places four years of pride, pain, sadness, and joy.
Graduation isn't a day it's a four year process. It begins when you're marched up the "Bring Me Men" ramp. It's the longest and fastest four years anyone goes through. It's the people who make it possible parents, family, officers, roommates even the BCT cadre.
There's more to graduation than a diploma. It's the times you wanted to quit and didn't. It's all the friends you started Basic Training with who, for many reasons, left. It's four years of growing up.
Graduation anywhere is special, but at the Academy it's something more it's the end and the beginning of your life a life that follows the "road not taken."
Secretary of Defense, Casper Weinberger congratulates a cadet after presenting him a diploma.
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And lookeddown one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that, the passing there Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence; Two roads diverged in a wood, and I I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

Contrary to what some may believe, June Week weddings in the cadet chapel are not automated, cold "quick in-quick out" affairs, but rather warm, well orchestrated, formal events that pay solemn tribute to the marriage ceremony.
From the majestic spires that reach high into the Colorado Rocky Mountain blue, and the symbolic and modernistic pews, to the double row of glinting metal sabres, the atmos
phere is one of overwhelming awe. Beautiful music is performed on either of the Chapels' two impressive organs which immediately catch the eye and steal the breath away.
Marriage should be a beautiful memory, captured in the mind, vivid and lasting. The Academy Chapel stands as a permanent monument Jo those who chose to be joined in holy matrimony soon after "slipping the bonds" of the Academy's curriculum.

"On the fields of friendly strife are sown the seeds which on other days and on other fields will bear thefruits of victory."
Douglas MacArthur
Slipping the bonds to a large degree means breaking free of our own preconceived, psychologically self-imposed notion of our own ability to perform. There is perhaps no better way to accomplish this than within the context of athletic competition. Here at USAFA, home of the whole person concept, heavy emphasis is placed from day one of a cadet's career on pushing himself beyond that point which he believes he can go no further. Our limitations tend to be 90% mental and only 10% physical, the body being willing when the soul is not. Mastery over that little mental voice entreating an individual to quit when the going gets difficult, is a quality that will serve an officer well in any activity undertaken.
Besides enabling a cadet to
break the tyranny of the mind over the muscle, athletics promote selflessness and teamwork as athletic teams endeavor to face the common enemy as a finely honed completely unified, undefeatable victory machine. Victory is not created out of a vacuum, and is rarely won alone. The upset defeat of the Soviets by America's 1980 Olympic hockey team demonstrated dramatically how the strength of the whole can exceed the sum of its individual parts.
Finally, the sense of fair play and sportsmanship an individual develops on those "fields of friendly strife," cannot help but spill over into one's professional and personal life strengthening one's honor and integrity off the playing field where society must pay dearly for an officer's lack of those qualities.
Recognizing that athletics have something to offer everyone, the Academy seeks universal participation by the
Cadet Wing. Intercollegiate athletes compete in sports and sports clubs. For others, intramural sports offer an opportunity to unwind from the tensions of the day, burn off excess energy, bring the squadron together, and just have a good old time. The intramural program is cadet supervised and administrated providing another leadership opportunity for cadets serving as coaches, referees and CIC's.
For a relatively small school, with strict height and weight limitations, and nonnegotiable academic standards, intercollegiate teams do very well. When a team wins, the Cadet Wing wins, and whether its win, lose, or draw in any athletic endeavor, cadets can be proud because the nature of the first of the seeds we sow today will not be determined by whether we won or lost, but rather by how we played the game.
by Joyce Rothleder, '82 Section Editors: Dunning Idle V, '82 SrA Bryan DangerfieldJust as the Falcon's keen eyes kept a vigilant watch over an entire field, so also did the five officers watch over the athletic programs which proudly carried her logo. These five "men behind our athletic muscle" were Colonels John J. Clune, Richelieu N. Johnson, and Don L. Peterson; and Lt. Colonels Edwin R. Cliatt and Richard A. Wolfe. These five oversaw a huge, varied, and ever-expanding athletic department whose latest jump in both size and status came just this year with our entry into the Western Athletic Conference (WAC).
Colonel Wolfe, Director of Facilities, was charged with the care and use of both the Field House and the Cadet Gym along with every piece of issued sports equipment intramural as well as junior varsity and varsity. Through scheduling magic, he found time for both intercollegiate and intramural use of the Academy's athletic facilities and saw to it that the necessary equipment was in place and ready to go for each contest. The new WAC status placed the additional, but welcome burden of handling the WAC Championships hosted at USAFA on his shoulders. Fortunately this new mission was placed in secure and experienced hands.
Colonel Johnson, as head of the department of Physical Education, indirectly affected the lives of all cadets. PE classes, intramurals, and special testing such as the PFT and the aerobics run fell under his particular area of leadership. (USAFA has one of
Colonel John Clune Athletic Director
the most extensive programs of its kind in the nation. We field 680 intramural teams throughout the year). Add to this one hundred percent participation in PE classes and the PFT and you have an idea of the complexity of his job.
Colonel Peterson, who lettered in baseball and basketball at the University of Washington and served as the PE department head just ended his first year as Deputy Athletic Director, a newly created post. "'Mr. Inside' handled all internal intercollegiate arrangements with the exception of basketball and football to compliment me," states Colonel Clune, the
Director of Athletics. He also coordinated scheduling with other WAC teams for both home and away games and accomplished this feat with the assistance of Colonel Cliatt who handles all transportation an ever growing expense.
Colonel Clune, the Director of Athletics and a former All-American from Annapolis, has had to adapt the most to a new role in the WAC. The budget, which has been his largest responsibility, changed drastically. As a full fledged member of the WAC, they share in TV revenues. WAC membership has also brought increased interest and record crowds.
Colonel Clune also oversaw the entire football and basketball programs while promoting all intercollegiate sports. WAC membership meant new Conference contests to plan and promote.
He also served as the athletic department's up front man with the NCAA and other colleges in all athletic concerns. While the WAC meant added responsibility, Colonel Clune believes recruiting will be enhanced and our intercollegiate athletic program improved across the board.
Membership also allows our athletes of today to set goals. The WAC football champ receives an invitation to the Holiday Bowl in San Diego so every WAC game is important as our Falcons wing their way to the top under the watchful supervision and leadership of dedicated professionals.
It was a proud day in Air Force Academy sports history. The Western Athletic Conference (WAC) and the Falcons welcomed each other with open arms after inking the contract on 1 July 1980. The Falcons became the first service Academy to join an athletic conference, meaning they are no longer on independent status like Army or Navy. Besides the opportunity to challenge the other league members for conference titles, WAC membership also offers prestige and publicity and adds clout to recruiting programs.
The decision to add USAFA to the list of other WAC teams (Brigham Young, Colorado State, Hawaii, New Mexico, San Diego State, Utah, Texas-EI Paso, and Wyoming) was
aided not only by our fine athletic programs and facilities, but by our outstanding academic reputation as well. In joining the WAC, no one had Cinderella dreams that USAFA would become an instant dominating team in the conference. While the Falcons floundered through a rough football season (having to play four bowlbound teams) 11th ranked Brigham Young polished off Southern Methodist in the Holiday Bowl capping a record breaking season.
The Falcon Basketball team showed flashes of tremendous talent but barely edged out Colorado State for the league cellar. Meanwhile, Utah, Wyoming and Brigham Young flexed their muscles in the NCAA tournament and the University of
Texas-EI Paso (UTEP) played in the National Invitational Tournament (NIT). Hawaii went almost all the way in losing the college baseball World Series. UTEP is the perennial national champion in Track & Field, CrossCountry and Indoor Track.
So the so-called major sports are to take a back seat to the other conference powerhouses until these programs can be built up. The rich athletic heritage of USAFA will always produce a fair share of "minor" sport champs, and as talented athletes choose to accept the active duty military commitments a cadet is required to make, USAFA will see a rise in WAC team sport success.

The Wyoming Cowboys came to the frozen Falcon Stadium with a confident air. After 3A's of a season of almosts, not quite's and one tie game, it seemed to even the most optimistic fan that the Falcons would somehow clutch "defeat" out of the jaws of "victory" once more.
But it was not to be. The Falcons could do no wrong in winning 25-7.
The Falcon offense rolled up 421 yards (319 rushing), while holding Wyoming to 262 yards.
Fighting the bitter cold, the Academy fans watched the Falcons play football the way it should be. The consistent Sean Pavilich tied a school record for the most field goals in a game (4). He started the offensive momentum while junior linebacker Mike France and crew were in the face of the once powerful Cowboy wishbone crew.
France, Ooug Dunbar and David Carraway each had three pass interceptions to stifle the Wyoming attack. Senior Scott Schafer tossed two touchdown passes to freshman Jimmy Adamsand sophomore Andy Bark and added 62 yards rushing to his 102 yards passing.
The breaks that seemed to belong to the opponent in games past were going to the Falcons interceptions, tackles for a loss, superb catches, and advantagous penalties.
The bright Indiana sun was filtered by smoke rising from streakfry gatherings. Notre Dame's stadium flags were teased by the cool breeze. The spirit of Knute Rockne still lingered along with the awesome tradition of Fighting Irish football history.
The cards were stacked against the fledgling Falcons. The Irish were undefeated, they had just shut-out Alabama 7-0. Retiring Coach Dan Devine was looking toward a possible National Championship and an impressive home victory.
There was a twinkle of hope for victory, however, that Notre Dame might be looking ahead to the next week's game with USC. Perhaps there couldn't have been a better time to play them; hoping that USAFA would be an oversight on the Irish season schedule.
The first half was a total defensive struggle. The noise from the confused and angry sellout crowd turned from thunderous roars to a nervous rumble.
The Falcon offense, though struggling, managed to light the score board first with three points. The 3-3 halftime score was identical to Georgia Tech's "upset" previously in the season but could the Falcons hang on to at least tie the Irish?
For a while it seemed possible. The stalemate continued until it seemed that the Falcons were going to win it. johnny Jackson's interception followed by Charlie Heath's touchdown put them in the lead. But, the powerful Irish rallied in the Fourth quarter and the Falcon's moment in the sun had vanished.
Even in defeat Jackson was named the defensive player of the game by the Mutual Radio Network that broadcast the contest. He had 18 tackles, including 15 unassisted, besides a pass interception, a fumble recovery and two pass breakups.
While the Irish seemed to be on their way to breaking open the game, Johnny Jackson intercepted a Blair Kiel pass. The momentum seemed to sway back to the Falcons when Jackson returned the misfired pass 26
It was everything. It was everything, and nobody (in blue) could deny it. That single point, that single dream and hope, was, unquestionably, everything: Air Force 21 Navy 20
I can imagine Coach Hatfield and all 59 players thinking before, during, and after the game, "This is everything." I can imagine Andy Bark thinking the same as he sprang into the air to grab a piece of pigskin thrown by someone nearly 40 yards away. I can imagine the center, the holder, and kicker Sean Pavlich thinking the same, as the trio sent that ball southward right through two verticle posts. I can imagine the thoughts of one lanky safety David Carraway as he tucked away that little brown bag of air, at the same time tucking away any last victory hopes for a sinking Navy. I can imagine how they felt, as I probably felt the same.
All in all, it was a perfect game. The Big Blue came out moving, and those floating Middies weren't about to stop it easily. With the first seven points, the Blue was looking extra tough, especially against the number184 Football i
one ranked defense in the country. Senior signal caller Scott Schafer slipped ten yards to cash in on a 66 yard, 14 play drive that said for the first time in the season, "Falcons in full force."
But the Falcons had no victory contract with the destined Midshipmen. A Navy interception, followed by a Navy 34 yard, three-point play, was just the beginning of the near fatal turnover story. Navy put up seven points more just four plays after Midshipman Jon Ross came up with an untimely Air Force fumble.
Navy did work for at least three of their score of points, as another field goal capped a second half kickoff drive that ended 35 yards out.
Eleven plays and 69 yards later, Scott Schafer drove in from the one foot line to put things back in perspective. By kicking the extra point, Air Force rookie Sean Pavlich had his say in the matter, putting the Falcons on the pro-side of the 14-13 skirmish.
Included in that scoring drive were some impressive aerial maneuvers, most notable, Andy Bark's long yardage breaker, off of a very strategic and picture perfect halfback pass.
With Air Force ahead again, the one point that would span an entire season, was now a mere teetering point around which the Middie defense could turn the tide.
And like a script Air Force has acted so many times in the past, the opposing defense had its chance. Act four, scene one, Air Force spills a live ball right into the sweeping hands of a Navy defender. Act four, scene two, a gracious Navy offense takes that live ball over a quarter of a field to button up what should have been the same old anti-climactic denouement to the same old story for any other team.
But on that day, the Falcons weren't by any means any other team. No, Air Force was not to be the weak sister of the league that
Saturday; Air Force was to be the proud victor of a tough battle, the uncontested winner of a sound decision.
Like a classic tragic hero with a single tragic flaw, the Navy brain made one fatal assumption that Air Force could not mobilize and score with less than two minutes remaining, and three quarters of a field to cover. Navy was faced with a third-and-long situation, deep in Falcon territory. If they could get the first down, they could run down the clock and be one step closer to the Commander's Trophy. If they didn't get the first, the Falcons would have the ball on their own 29 yard line, with under two minutes to play. Not enough time for the Falcons to score, too much distance, too little momentum.
Too little Navy foresight.
A field goal on that series would surely have wrapped it up for the Middies. Instead, the Navy orders were to go for the first down: the fatal tactical error as a result of the fateful tragic flaw. Air Force got the ball. ************

There is a good feeling that goes with being associated with a group of winners. That feeling is:

The raspy feeling in your throat after yelling a skyful where no one can hear anything but an amalgamation of high-pitched shouts, yells, and drums that match your racing heartbeat. And a sigh. Then the plea of a crying bugle as the Corps splashes sound and color around in your head and Dik Daso's sabre shoots up to prod the highest spirits in five years; spirits that go back to the Civil War and Old Glory on the football field.

Like fish out of water, the Falcon Water Poloists found themselves with their first losing season ever. Three games of losing by a point turned the tide. If there was a bright spot for the year it would have to have been the 17-4 drowning of the Navy Squids. There were three consistently outstanding seniors on the team: four year letterman and team captain Joe Wotton, Randy Stedman and Ed Phillips.
The season was one of rebuilding and much improvement. The team, led by team captain Ann Reaser, consisted of six returning players and 12 freshmen. After a shakey start (losing their first five games) the team started rolling. Spikers Ann Reaser, Linda Samuelson, Cheryl DeVita, Susan Hall, and Cathy Callaghan led the scoring attacks. The defense was almost inpenetrable because of super saves and extra effort from Sue Johnson, Nora Vick, and Dorothy Simpson. Setter Suzi Smith was the team "quarterback" setting up the
plays and coordinating the attack. Suzi was also named to the all-tourney team at the Colorado College tournament.
With enthusiasm, hard work, and coachingtips from Captain Colleen Turner and her Assistant Captain Ed Halik, the team won their last eight games in a row. This included victories over arch rivals Metropolitan State College and Colorado College to end up with a 13-10 season record and the first berth to the regionals in three years.
Despite many upsets in this year's season, most would agree the Air Force Academy's Men's Basketball Team really came out ahead.
The height of the season came when senior Tim Harris, broke two Academy records in the last game of the season against Colorado State. With a turn-around jump shot from almost 15 feet that just happened to score he became the Academy's new all-time scorer, surpassing Brig. Gen.
Robert D. Beckel's old record of 1,526 points.
The game also ended with him holding the new record for the most career field goals. Not stopping with the minimum, Harris ended the game with a game-high of 25 points and a career total of 1,550 points.
It was a weekend to remember. The day before, at the game against Wyoming, a record crowd of 6,300 showed up to cheer on the Falcons.
Harris came within two points of breaking the scoring record then, but had victory postponed as the ball was slapped from his hands with four seconds left after an offensive rebound under the hoop.
On Saturday, however, the Falcons finished their season right on cue. With two records broken and a smashing defeat of Colorado State, most teams would have been satisfied with that. The Academy went one
step further by setting yet another record. Senior Reggie Jones became the Academy's top career rebounder.
Overall, the season might have been better. With a 3-13 win-loss record in the WAC and an 9-18 record overall, the season looks bad on paper, until you get the facts.
There were some fantastic individual efforts and these were recognized. Tim Harris was selected to the All-Western Athletic Conference's second team as a forward. Senior Reggie Jones and sophomore Rick Simmons, were given Honorable Mentions.
The record also doesn't mention the games that had everyone on their feet in shock. An example was the Air Force-Hawaii game. With zero time left on the clock, Reggie Jones recovered a rebound and shooting from the foul line made the ball gracefully arc to land in the net. At least the Falcons did better than sports writers orginallypredicted.
Pat Swanke prepares to outmaneuver her taller foe.

Lead by seniors Pat Swankeand Michelle Johnson, the Air Force Academy's Women's Basketball team ended this season with an excellent record. Winning 11 of their 15 home games, the women ended the season with a 17-11 win-loss record.
Team effort gave the edge in a lot of games but outstanding individual efforts sparked the team when things seemed to go flat.
Pat Swanke and Michelle Johnson set the pace by scoring 455 and 426 points, respectively. Johnson led the way with 80 assists in just one season. She also was selected to the college division Academic All-American basketball team for the second straight year. Sophomore Linda Huggler put in a fine performance with 63 assists and 186 points. Scoring 309 points, freshman Susan Niemeyer certainly earned a place on the team.
Throughout the year, rival Colorado College proved to be a nemesis. After being squeaked out, 56-55 in their first meeting, the Tigers humbled the Falcons in the last regular season game 68-57.
AFA went into the four-team regional tournament with revenge on their minds. After downing Colorado Women's College only one game stood between them and the National playoffs but it was to be Colorado College's year. The Falcons and Tigers clawed their way to a stalemate, sending the game into overtime. The taller Tigers came away with a 2 point overtime victory.
Fencing is one of those sports that makes people either think of Errol Flynn flicks, Star Wars duels between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, or just two people trying to sever each other's limbs. Actually, today fencing is a contest that matches two people in a battle of speed and quick thinking.
The main idea is simple; get five touches on your opponent (stab him five times) before he or she gets five touches on you. All of this takes place on a rubber strip aboutVA meters wide and 20 meters long, usually under a 6 minute time limit. It may not sound like much, but to win, you have to move fast and think faster than the other person.
The basic position is standing sideways to your opponent, front foot facing toward him or her the other foot a shoulder's distance back and pointed out to the side. Your knees are bent about a third of the way, leading arm about half extended, and your back arm up over your head and out of range. Not an easy position to hold or an easy one to move in. Six minutes of this can really wear you out.
There are three weapons for mens fencing: foil, epee and sabre. Foil was the original weapon, and the weapon of beginning fencers. It has a light blade about a meter long and the only way to score with it is straight on no slashing the other person. The target is from the arms in, the neck down and the legs up. Foil is a good starting weapon, as it teaches hand coordination and quickness.
Epee is a heavier weapon than foil, and about the same length. The target is the whole body. Since everytime you move in to attack, you expose the target. The blade movement is more concise and the legs become important in quick attacks and retreats (if someone is coming at you, you either move his
blade or get out of range).
Sabre was a cavalry weapon, so the target is what you could hit from above, namely the head, arms, and body from the waist up. Slashing is allowed as well as straight attacks, and you often have to run down your opponent for the length of the strip to score. It probably comes across as the most "violent" weapon, but not any more so than the others.
Women only compete in foil, and can compete against men in some meets. They follow the same rules that govern men's fencing.
Air Force finished with a winning season in both men and women's competition. The outstanding fencer was senior and team captain Wendel Kubik. Kubik, after finishing the regular season and placing in the Westerns, went on to compete in the Nationals. Other outstanding fencers were seniors Steve Nagy and Steve Alltop. The men's varsity team had an addition this year with freshmen Carl Blatz and Doug Coughlin, both recruited fencers. The women's team had a greatly improved season over last year, with the usual good job by both Ellen O'Sullivan and Vivet
Maragh. Sullivan was the women's most valuable fencer award winner. She holds the women's school record for most foil wins in a season with 40 and career foil wins with 52.
This was the last year for varsity coach Captain Todd Chirko. Himself a grad, Captain Chirko was the J.V. coach for the last three years. Replacing him as varsity coach is Captain Rick Bereit.

The Falcons had a perfect record until the final
240.15
meet of the season. Setting the foundation for this strong performance was in the excellent effort, skill, and leadership by the seniors on the team. Led by Mike Spencer, team captain, the seniors Rick Aldrich, Bob Hamilton, Paul Montgomery, Bill Pfau, and Jeff Plaisted placed high in every meet.
The team excelled individually as seven other school records were broken. Jeff Plaisted placed the best average score on the pommel horse, while Bill Pfau excelled on the rings with an average of 9.35 and a high score of 9.70. Bob Hamilton, selected as the team's Most Valuable Gymnast, broke two records in the floor exercises with an average of 9.26 and a high score of 9.6 as well as two records on the horizontal bars with an average of 9.36 and a high score of 9.75. Hamilton was ranked seventh in the nation on the horizontal bar and 11th in the floor exercise competition.
Bob Hamilton performs a perfect "L" on the horizontal bars. He was ranked 7th in the nation in this event. His high finishes in the National meet earned him the team's most valuable player honor.

The dedicated freshman Heidi Croeber earned All-American honors three times at the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics Division II national championships in Williamsburg, VA.
After two days of competition, Croeber finished fourth on the balance beam (17.95); fifth in vaulting (17.9); and fifth in overall competition with 35.10 points, making her the first Falcon women gymnast to ever earn All-American honors. Air Force finished 10th out of 13 teams, scoring 129.15 points with Centenary College of Shreveport, La., defending its AIAW crown for the fourth consecutive year by scoring 141.05 points.
Air Force ended the regular season 5-4 and was second in Region Seven competition.

The 1980-81 Falcon hockey team was lead by the staunch goal-tending of junior Mike Drake. Drake denied the opposition a total of 914 times in an outstanding year. Head coach John Matchefts will be counting on Drake to be the backbone of the Falcon icers in the 1981-82 season. Offensively the Falcons were led by junior center Tom Richards who found the net 22 times and had 20 assists. Richards consistently came up with the key goals when the pressure was on. Also contributing on offense were senior captain Chuck Evancevich with 31 points and senior defenseman Steve Moes with 19 points. With only two seniors on the squad, the Falcons had a youthful and inexperienced club. Several freshmen, including Jeff Connors, Bruce Umland, John Yelle,
Bill Andersen, Jim Mackey and Bob Sullivan, saw regular ice time and helped the Falcons to a 13-13 season against some of the toughest competilion in the country. Junior Daryl Randall's play typified the spirit and determination of the young Falcon squad. His continuous efforts made him a standout in the Falcon offensive zone. The early return of Rich Lund mid-way through the season added experience to the youthful Falcon defensive corps.
Early in the season the scrappy Falcons traveled to Grand Forks and North Dakota to take on the defending National Champion Fighting Sioux. Although the Falcons did not emerge triumphantly, they gained valuable experience that would help them throughout the rest of the
season. The season was highlighted by the Falcons trip to Anchorage, Alaska where they challenged the Seawolves of the University of Alaska at Anchorage and skated home with a pair of thrilling overtime victories. The Falcons were in good company when they stepped on the ice in the Holiday Hockey Classic at the Broadmoor World Arena. There the Falcons faced off against two of the top ranked eastern clubs, Cornell and Princeton. All in all it was a year of gaining experience for the young Falcons.
In addition to the loss of its senior players, Chuck Evancevich and Steve Moes, the Falcon hockey program also lost Lt. Colonel Robert Taylor, the team's Officer Representative.

The Men's Indoor Track Team finished another outstanding year with a third straight season of undefeated dual, and home meet competition. To top off the 1981 season and the Academy's first year in the Western Athletic Conference, the indoor team placed third in the WAC Championships, behind UTEP and BYU. AFA finishers in WAC were senior Lantz Balthazar and freshman Greg Marshall, 2nd and 3rd in the triple jump; sophomore Alonzo Babers, 3rd in the 400m; senior Bryan Kelchner, 3rd in the 1000m; senior Bret Hyde, 4th in the 5000m; and the mile relay team of sophomore Ted Holloway, sophomore Dan Yancy, freshman Lamont Scott, and Alonzo Babers finished first. With strong spiritual leadership, and individual dedication many individuals highlighted the team's success throughout the season. Bret Hyde set a school record in the indoor 3-mile, when he ran a 13:40 at the University of Illinois Invitational, while junior Dan Rooney broke the same record with a 13:43. In addition, junior Chris Benich tied the school record many times in the high jump at 6'10", and senior Jim Schwindt cleared 15'5" in the pole vault. The success story of the team, Babers, set two school records with a 30.5 sec. 300 yd. run, and a 46.9 sec. 400m. Babers also finished 12th out of 40 in the 400m at the NCAA Division I National Indoor Championships. As icing on the cake, senior Tim Roberts tookAll American honors in the indoor pentathlon.
Alonzo Babers was a runner who stood out from a team of standout runners. These runners made up the USAFA men's track team, undefeated in dual meets over three seasons. Sophomore sprinter Alonzo Babers played a large role in that success. Babers, whose 46.9 second time in the Indoor 400 Meter sprint ranked him fourth in the nation and ninth in the world, first tied on his Nikes as a freshman at Carver High School in Montgomery, Alabama.
Babers said that he began running because "I was in PE and we had to run track much like everyone at USAFA boxes. Then the coach asked
me to come out for the team." Since that day, the 400 meter, or quartermile, has been his race. "I had fun," he recalls, "but the quarter's a hard race."
Babers has made it seem easy. He transferred from Carver High School to the base school at Ramstein AFB, Germany, during his junior year when his father, then a master sergeant, was relocated. He continued to run the quarter during his last two years in high school and captured the European Title in the 400 Meter.
Because his consistently quick times attracted the attention of the Academy, he was one of the few cadets who were heavily recruited for Track. Babers said he "knew what to expect" of USAFA thanks to his
liaison officer a USAFA graduate. He received a Presidential nomination, awarded only to dependents of military personnel.
Once he entered the Academy, he ran "quarters (400 Meters) and two hundreds (200 Meters) for two hours a day in practice. To make up for lost academic time he had to "study on the weekends" if there was not a meet to attend and workuntil after 0100. He admitted that he "might" run better with more sleep.
Babers does believe that he "can go faster" in the 400 Meter Outdoor Race. He will also have to improve upon his indoor time to meet his goal: an individual WAC Championship in the 400 Meter Indoor. His time of 46.9 this past year, while quick enough to place him fourth in the nation, was no better than third at the WAC Championships in Idaho. He finished behind two sophomores from the University of Texas at El Paso. The winning time was 46.4, an obtainable goal for Babers next year.
He has also set his sights on being an All-American next year but is "not really shooting for the Olympics at this time."
Babers is enthusiastic about what the future holds in store for both himself and the team. In their first year of WAC competition, our Falcons placed a very respectable third behind powerhouses UTEP and Brigham Young University. According to Babers, USAFA's strong point is the youth on the team: "everyone is young," he stated. The mile relay team, composed of three sophomores and one junior, is a prime example. He encouraged all cadets who ran in high school to "just come out." Since the track team doesn't heavily recruit, except for distance runners, many present team members were walk-ons.
With another year of experience to compliment their youth, Babers and the rest of the Falcons will continue to fly high in the years to come.
The women's indoor track team continued their undefeated string by going 6-0. The sophomore team captain Roxanne Goetz did well in the hurdles and middle distances while her classmates Rita Burr and Apryl Ford also excelled.
Rita Burr finds life at the top lonely, winning every race this year she blew them all away.

Ford, who was named as the Most Valuable Track Runner (women), broke several school records in the sprints.
Burr, an All-American in cross country, showed her strength in the distances as she broke school records in the 800 and 1500-meter runs and was also named to the All-Region Team. There wasn't a race during the regular season in which she didn't finish first, because of this feat she was votedthe Most Valuable Track Competitor (women).

This was a year of real ups and downs for the men. They were strong in spots and weak in others, and these strengths and weaknesses could be overcome or reorganized for dual meets, but presented insurmountable problems for the WAC Championships. As a result, the debut into the WAC was satisfying to nearly everyone but the swimmers. The team was young this year and will be younger next year, butthis young team was strong in the freshman class and, consequently, went 13 and 0 during the season and 4 and 0 in the WAC.
The sprinters were strong throughout the season and made it very difficult for the opponents in dual meets. Alan Arata, Paul Sullivan and Joe Wotton could be counted as sure points as anyone of them could produce on a given day. This is certainly a nice situation for any team, but Sullivan broke his jaw before Christmas and was out for six weeks. He continued to do his leg and strength work which brought him back at 50 yards better than ever. Wotton performed steadily throughout the season but didn't match his high level performances of a year ago. Arata was hot against New Mexico in November at 200 and 100. He also produced against BYU in the sprints and he slowly developed into an all-around swimmer by the end of the season. Sprinter John Livingood had his best year as he qualified for the WAC and Ken Davison showed consistent improvement in the sprints and breaststroke. Ken has the ability and if given the opportunity could develop over the next couple of years.
Sam Woodward was the top breaststroker for the third year in a row, but Matt McKeon, Glen Luette and Alan Arata showed promise in this area for the future. Chris Cook was the solid number two backup as he produced crucial points against BYU, New Mexico and San Diego State. Chris's Individual Medley was off of his school record time but he scored
points at the WAC in the 100 Butterfly.
Dave Nichols had a slow start as usual but ended the season with substantial performances in the butterfly where he was a finalist in the WAC. Freshman Bryan Riba turned in consistent 200 Butterfly performances throughout the season and qualified for the WAC in three events. Jim Simpson and Jeff Stoddard came off water polo and didn't produce until late in the season, but Stoddard did qualify for three events in the WAC. Stoddard shows promise for he is a big, strong swimmer.
Junior George Nelson teamed with Brian Losey and senior Randy Stedman in an attempt to earn backstroke points at the WAC. Although George wasn't previously a backstroker, he did manage to score. George appears to have potential in the backstroke and the individual medley. Dave Specht, Mark Mason, Dave Roth and Garrett Thompson
held down the distance races during the season. Mark Mason doubled into the individual medley where he scored valuable points against BYU, San Diego State and New Mexico and he also qualified for the WAC in three events.
Garrett Thompson led the way for the distance swimmers with fine performances in all of the races from 100 yards to 1650 yards. Although he didn't break any school records he did move to second on the all time list at 500, 1000 and 1650 yards. Garrett also swam 1:42 at 200 yards freestyle and 1:58 at 200 yards butterfly. He certainly appears to have the potential to be an outstanding butterflyer.
John Sayre was the most valuable swimmer this year as he did everything that was necessary to support the victories over BYU, New Mexico, San Diego State and TCU. He turned in three wins with relative ease and each time looked like he could have been faster. He proved that he was faster at

the WAC with a championship, a championship meet record, and a school record in the 200 Individual Medley. He later turned in a second at 200 Backstroke that was also a new school record. John placed himself on the all time list at 100 and 200 Breast, 100 and 200 Back, 100 Butterfly and in the 200 and 400 Individual Medley.
The weakest spot on the team this year was the diving where Jeff Carnes and Stan Bates did their best week after week. Jeff had his high point in Albuquerque where he scored some critical points. Stan showed some considerable improvement throughout the season and appears to be on the verge of becoming a fine diver.
Although we were able to cope with the dual meet season we were unable to perform at a high level in

the WAC Championships and finished sixth. The losses of three key people certainly contributed to our poor showing but most of the swimmers at the meet failed to do their best in what was a bad situation for us. The outdoor pool and the cold and rainy weather were a new experience for us and we were unable to adapt as easily as the more experienced teams.
This was certainly the best season that the women have had in their five year history. The season record of 21 wins / 1 loss and 1 tie was a good entry to the Regionals and the Nationals. The loss and the tie were both suffered at the hands of Texas Christian University. Unfortunately, these meets were held immediately following Christmas break when TCU was sharp and the Falconshad not recovered from the layoff. TCU proved their worth as a nationally strong team as they finished third at the Nationals. However, Air Force's women managed to revenge these setbacks with a second place finish a good 40 plus points ahead of TCU at the Nationals.
Although the team was led by Diann Christianson, Pattie Martinez and Linda Telkamp for the second straight year, a new found depth and a dedication by many individuals to team success played an equally important role. It would be easy to overlook the considerable improvement of freshmen Melanie
Lori Pulaski cuts through the water. Although not one of the All-Americans, she added depth to the strong team.
Freel, Christina Vance, Tammy Myers and Tiina Landschulz. Tammy and Christina dropped their times considerably at the Regionals and just missed qualifying for the Nationals. Christina and Tammy both had fine performances against Brigham Young and New Mexico. Tiina Landschulz improved steadily all season and although she had to be content to dive behind four All-Americans on her own team, she proved herself at the Nationals with two All-American performances and points for the team. One of the top contributors to
the success of the team throughout the season was Nicole Anderson. For the benefit of the team she had to switch from her butterfly specialty to the back stroke and the sprint freestyle. She made this switch with exceptional results. She beat the team record holder in head to head competition everytime they met and is now a member of the Medley Relay that holds the school record. In addition, she made All-American at the Nationals as a member of the 200 Freestyle Relay.
Enough can't be said about the contributions of Freshman Karen Burton. She took the pressure off Patty Martinez by quickly developing into an outstanding breaststroke and butterfly swimmer. She broke five school records, won three races against BYU, beat triple All-American Sonja Miles twice in the Regional meet, won three events in the regionals, scored 75 points at the Nationals, took three third places and made All-American in six events.
Diver Janet Peterson made AllAmerican on both boards for the fourth straight year after having been out of competition for three straight months due to a back injury. Certainly, she is the classic case of a team captain making her contribution to the success of her team against overwhelming odds.
Linda Telkamp showedher class this year as she went undefeated during the season and won the Regionals on both boards. She ended the season by finishing third on both boards at the Nationals and was just
slightly off on her last one meter dive or she would have been the champion.
Shawn Whitson was at Navy the first semester where she suffered an injury that clearly affected her season. However, she managed consistency throughout the season and finished 8th on the one meter board and sixth on the three meter board to run her three year All-American total to five.
Nancy Burdick had her ups and downs during the year but proved her competitive drive at the Nationals for the second year in a row. She added 16 points to the team total as she made All-American on both boards. Kim Bentler showed improvement in all of her events at the end of the season as she posted lifetime best efforts at the Regionals. As a result, she went to the Nationals as a relay alternate. This turned out to be beneficial to both Kim and the team. It was necessary to use her on the 400 Freestyle Relay where she turned in a 54.8 leg in the finals to help the Relay finish third. Although Kim Hillen wasn't the superstar of two years ago, her contributions to the success of the team throughout the years were
crucial. She scored critical points against BYU and New Mexico and for the third year in a row made All-American on all three freestyle relays.
Diann Christianson seems to be largely ignored in the overall context of the complete season, however, that would have been fatal to the success of the team. Diann just does her job without any fanfare. When the job must be done Diann does the job. The tougher the job, the more certain is the prospect that she will win. She may be one of the very best competitors that we have ever had. She is certainly in a class with Bryan Rye. To put it very simply, she won the tough races, earned the necessary points for victories time after time and made All-American in seven events for the second year in a row.
Patti Martinez had help this year from Karen Burton and as a result had to sacrifice victories in order to get necessary points for the team's success. This is not always an easy thing to do when you are the champion and everyone expects you to turn in nothing butvictories. It is also very tough for a coach to put his

She did it all again for the second year in a row. She won seven regional titles, made AllAmerican in seven events on the AIAW and Coaches All-American Team, was the high point winner at the Nationals with 87 points and became swimming's Broderick Award Nominee for the second year in a row.

For their initial WAC season the Falcon grapplers fared very well. USAFA placed third with 56 points, behind Wyoming, 57 (whom they had beaten earlier in the year during dual meet competition) and champion Brigham Young with 73 points. Bringing home championship honors were junior Dale Walters (177 lb) and senior Gary Chadwick (190 lb). Walters also went on to win the Mountain Intercollegiate Wrestling Association Championships and placed second in the
NCAA Western Region. He had an outstanding career at USAFA. He qualified for the NCAA championships for three consecutive years and his record of 80 wins, 15 losses and two ties is an Academy record. Chadwick completed his senior year with an impressive 22-2 record. Also doing well was second place finisher Mel Proffitt (118 lb) who had beaten a highly regarded CSU opponent. Dave Stark (142 lb) took the consolaton title as did Larry Ching (HWT).

Walters, Gary L. Plumb, Mathew A.In sharp contrast to last year's record breaking baseball season this one went foul.
Even beyond a reasonable doubt this one really went foul. At 12-30 overall and a 5-19 WAC record, this was one of those seasons you'd like to forget. The newspaper headlines read "Air Force plays like 'a funeral'," "Robison hardly syrupy after Falcons' 'pancake' effort." To state the obvious it was dismal.
Coach Robison pointed out, "It's a team that played poorly in the early innings and didn't have enough talent to come back in the late innings. You can't always score 10 runs in the eighth inning. We played dumb, lazy baseball early and started playing scrappy when we were too far behind."
To illustrate this frustrating season, a classic case came in a game with Northern Colorado in which the Falcons fell behind early and started to rally back. Needing only five runs to tie, AFA hit into three rallysquelching double plays in the fifth,
sixth, and seventh innings.
In the seventh, AFA had the bases loaded with no outs. The next batter grounded to the firstbaseman who quickly fired home for the force out. The batter apparently thinking the
firstbaseman had tagged the bag, stopped short of firstbase. The alert catcher flipped the ball back to the firstbaseman thus squelching the rally.
The Falcons had a rugged pitching record. The team's leading pitcher had a 4-5 record while posting a 6.41 earned run average. Other defensive stats showed AFA with 34 double plays to the opposition with 37. Passed balls were equal with 11 for the year.
Offensively, two juniors John Johnson and Joe Romanko, did pretty well. Johnson, a centerfielder, led the team with 57 hits, eight doubles, three triples, 23 steals in 26 attempts, 39 runs scored and a .407 batting average. Romanko, at first base, led the team in runs batted in and was second in runs scored, he batted .331. One stat that looks deceivingly good is the runners left on base category
"Pop ups" cost the Falcons a lot of opportunities to score.
Kent Nonaka seems to be saying to himself, "what else can I throw these guys." Falcon pitchers gave up 64 homeruns to opponents. AFA only had 26 in comparison.
with 283 to the opponents 327. If runners don't get on base to begin with this stat doesn't mean much.
Paul Ayres (9), a freshman thirdbaseman, moves in to cut off a possible bunt. The Falcons were off balance all year. They lost to easy teams but twice defeated overpowering favorites.
After a miserable season, everyone should remember there were a few bright spots. One of these occasions was when the Northern Division Champion Brigham Young came to town hoping to blow away the fledgling Falcons but lost two out of the three games.

The 1981 Wing Open Boxing Championships are now history. Friday, 27 February, eager spectators packed the cadet Field Flouse Basketball Arena where the contest took place.
A total of nine bouts were fought in the weight classes ranging from 125 lbs through heavyweight. The first one pitted 34th's C1C Michael A. Cox against 25th's C2C James A. Demarest. The combination of Cox's classical style against Demarest's powerful left hook made for an excellent opening bout, with Cox winning in the end.
The 132 lb class featured C2C Lin A. Mack of CS-02 against C3C Moses B. Winston, CS-13. Winston, with longer arms and body, seemed at first to have the advantage, but Mack's experience as runner-up in the 139 lb class last year helped him go away with the title.
In the 139 lb class, C3C Richard A. Graham, CS-29, continued his quest for four Wing Open Championships against 13th's James A. Long, Class of '81. This was one of the evening's finest bouts, with Ricky coming up with his second title in two years. With two years ahead, this left him with the chance to becoming only the fifth cadet to accomplish the feat of a perfect 4 year record.
The fourth bout of the evening in the 147 lb class saw another returning champion, CS-12's C1C Aaron "Chief" Swanier defending his title against CS-10's C2C Mike Hollister. Swanier had beaten Hollister earlier in intramurals in a close bout, and this proved to be another good one with "Chief" coming out on top again.
Next came the first of two bouts pitting classmate against classmate, in Jack's Valley pugil stick tradition. C1C Bobby Steigerwald, CS-27, and C1C Eric Garvin, CS-04, faced off in the
156 lb class. Both boxers were 9-0 in the regular season, but Garvin had to relinquish his perfect record to Steigerwald in a close match.
The 165 lb class pitted last years runner-up, C1C Terrence J. Foley, CS-07, against 32nd's C2C Jim Young. Foley had to settle for runner-up again when he could not defeat Young's aggressive style.
Another returning champion, C1C T. J. Hasty, CS-39, defended his 175 lb title against C2C Eric Jacobsen, CS-40. In another battle ofthe unbeaten in seasonal play, Jacobsen took the initiative until Hasty made good his reputation as a powerful hitter.
In the second bout pitting Firstie against Firstie, the 185 lb class saw 16th's Larry Steuck, national champion at 180 lbs, against 27th's Ken Byrd. Byrd could not wrest the title from Steuck, who went on to defend his title in the Nationals.
Finally, the Class of '84s only entry, 39th's Carl Dieudonne, battled C2C Clay Vertrees of CS-12 for the Heavyweight title. Dieudonne could not begin a string of victories against Vertress, who won the bout.
Each year a collection is taken at intermission and the proceeds are donated to a chosen charity. This years record proceeds went to the Colorado Springs Chapter of Muscular Dystrophy. The muscular dystrophy poster child was on hand to accept the check just before the final bout. This child's heart warming acceptance of the check made the evening complete.

This was the second year the Air Force Academy won the National Collegiate Boxing Association's national championship. What makes the team championship unique is the fact that the Academy has only fielded a full intercollegiate team for the past two years. Head Coach Ed Weichers and Assistant Coach Al Wile worked the corner for the Air Force team.
Cox
Senior Mike Cox, in the 125 lb. class gave the Academy its first champ of the evening when he knocked out (referee stops contest) South Carolina's Billy Pickett midway through the first round. Cox was surprised at the early finish saying, "I was a little intimidated. He was coming at me and talking." The punch that floored Pickett was a straight right. "I threw a looping left and he ducked away from it right into the right," Cox said.
In the 139-pound class, sophomore Ricky Graham, successfully defended his national championship by recording a unanimous decision over David Feori of Virginia.
Graham consistentently pounded the "bulldozing" Feori with solid left hooks. "I just kept sidestepping him as he put his head down ana charged and slammed the left hook into him. I led him like you would a duck with shotgun, so he would get the full effect of the punch."
Steuk
round. In the third, Steuck dominated Shaw to assure the victory. Shaw received two warnings during the bout for holding the back of Steuck's head. "It's hard to keep cool when they're holding you like that," Steuck said. "But, you have to and I did. I just kept scoring."
The next Academy boxer in the ring was senior Bobby Steigerwald, at the 156-pound class. Steigerwald used the classic upright style and a quick left jab to outpoint nis opponent in the finals, Frank Delzampo of California.
"The coaches told me to keep my head on straight out there, but it was hard with him always coming at me, really charging. But, I just kept the jab out and that's the way I played the whole fight," Steigerwald said. Steigerwald also was awarded a unanimous decision for his semi-final bout with Steve Gubber of Chico State.
Senior Larry Steuck, in the 180 lb. class, also defended his national championship by defeating Jessie Shaw of Lock Haven State with a unanimous decision.
Steuck bombarded Shaw's midsection with solid hooks that wore down the other fighter for the third
Vertrees
Falcon heavyweight, junior Clay Vertrees, also drew a bye into the finals where he faced Gerry Rogers of Villanova. Vertrees' quickness and style advantage kept the more muscular Rogers completely out of the bout and gave him the decision.
"I think what really won it for me was beating him to the punch. He never had a chance to get anything set up," Vertrees said after receiving the gold medal.
The top three finishers were Air Force with 58 points, West Chester State with 34 points, and Nevada-Reno with 20 points.
The men's golf team stretched its winning streak to 32 in posting a 19-0 dual record. This was the best record in AFA history, beating the 17-0 record in 1979. Finishing second behind Colorado in the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Golf Association (RMIGA) for the second year in a row, the Falcons played two players on the RMIGA team.
Steve Kirkpatrick was the number one standing member of the all-star team by having the lowest stroke average for the season with a 75. Also, Len Patrick made the five-member team with a 76.14 average. Kirkpatrick also qualified for the NCAA championships.
Concluding the season the Falcons placed sixth in the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) championships. They edged Wyoming in the seven-team tournament when five of the six Falcon golfers shot in the 70s the last day, led by Craig Heise's 74. Lee Anderson, a junior, was the medalist for AFA with a three-round total of 224 while Heise was second with 231.
After losing its first match of the year, women's golf completed its fall schedule with a 7-1 record but fell to 3-5 during the spring for an overall total of 10-6. In the fall, junior Carla Gammon and freshman Kristi Lambert tied the lowest stroke averages of the team with a 85.5. Junior Kim Corcoran also added her talents with medalist finishes. Gammon took third individually in the AIAW Division II Region Seven playoffs and qualified for the nationals.

The scales of justice tipped to neither side during the dual match season, but at Regionals it was "Our Day
in
Court." Upon completion of
the spring season with an 8-8 dual record and a 4-3 mark in the fall, the women had an overall record of 12-11 and tied for third place in the AIAW Region VII playoffs.
Besides placing fourth at the No. 1 singles position in Region VII, junior Gail Cooper was also selected to the all-region team for the second consecutive year. During the dual meet season Cooper compiled a record of 15 wins and eight losses as the number one seeded singles player.
Other Falcons did well at regionals which helped the team move from last place on the first day up to third place in a field of eight teams. Freshman Ruth Deniston took third place at No. 2 singles. In the spring season Deniston and Jackie Butler had identical match records at 10-6. Butler placed fifth in the No. 3 position while No. 4 seed Sue Easter earned fourth. Sophomores Emily Regh and Chris Duffy each won the consolation bracket at the No. 5 and No. 6 singles while Butler and Easter combined for third place in the doubles.
Even though Rita Lane did not place in the Region VII tournament she added strength in an alternate role as the varsity's sixth seed.

After gliding through an undefeated dual meet and successful invitational meet season, the trackmen placed fifth in the tough WAC conference.
Senior Brett Hyde won AFA's first ever WAC outdoor track title by taking the 3,000-meter steeplechase with a stadium-record time of 8:43.40. Other top Falcon scorers were senior Tim Roberts, who was third in the decatholon (behind the national champion from Brigham Young, Tito Steiner) with a school record score of 7,051 points and sophomore Vic Morganthaler, who was fourth in the hammer throw with a heave of 168-0. Another fourth place finisher was sophomore Chris Kasselder, who ran 14.80 in the 110-meter hurdles.
The Falcons lost sure points when Alonzo Babers was scratched from the WAC meet because of a pulled right hamstring muscle suffered in the Drake Relays.
The Falcons showed strength in winning the Colorado Relays, Redlands Invitational and the Southern Colorado Invitational.
Alan Jarrell passes the baton to Tony Hudson. The relay team did well this year.
The Trackwomen finished the season with no official dual meet record but did well in their invitational meets throughout the year. At the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) national track meet two Falcons came away with All-American honors sophomore Rita Burr and freshman Gail Conway. Burr finished second in the 1,500-meter run with a time of 4:31.11, behind Eileen Kramer of Cal-Poly. Conway placed fourth in the 400-meter dash with a time of 56.22. As a team the Falcons finished 16th in the 75-team field.
“We don't mess around well at least when we compete."
The Academy Judo Club is an 18 member competitive club with limited on-season status from November to February. The cadets enjoy the comradery of being a part of the Judo Club but when tournament time comes they become a force to be reckoned with. They don't mess around.
At the Rocky Mountain AAV Development Tournament the club brought home an unprecedented four first place trophies.
In the U.S. Judo Association's National Championships, freshman Alan Abangan took first in the 143 pound class. Another first place finish for Abangan came in the advanced lightweight division at the Rocky Mountain AAU Development Tournament. For his performance he was given an unusual spot promotion to first degree black belt, thereby bypassing the normal promotion procedure. Abangan was undefeated in competition.
Also showing impressive skills were National Championship qualifiers, Lee Jackson (156-pound), Chip Henderson (172-pound) and Kirk Cypel (189-pound). Tammy Senz and Kathy Lee did well in the women's competition.
The cadet Karate Club has grown tremendously in its' two year history. Not only in numbers / but in the amount of awards won. The Club led by Capt. Charles Bohn, a second dan blackbelt, has grown to over 100 members and when the year was over they had won 106 individual and team awards.
The team competes as a member of the U.S. Tang Suo Do Noo Duk Kwan Federation. At the federation's national tournament AFA had one national champion as freshman Tony Williams came from obscurity to win the lightweight red-belt sparring championship.
In the Rocky Mountain National Tournament 16 cadets entered the competition and the team brought home 10 trophies. In the men's kata yellow belt division, Dan Griffith placed first and Brian Dooley took third while Anthony Williams placed second in the red belt division. The cadets dominated the color belt weapons competition with Ryan Orian capturing top honors and Griffith, named white belt competitor of the year, placing a close second.
In free sparring, Williams won his second trophy, Orian placed second and Kern Stearns and Chuck Ross tied for third in the yellow belt division.

Both clubs, officially called AFA Rugby Football Club, were plagued by injuries. The men (4-3 overall) led by Bruce Stark, and Mark Ploederer lost to CSU 3-0 in the state championship.
Meanwhile the women (2-3) led by Sandra Yope and Sarah Himeon, limped shorthandedly through the year.
Janet Hoar (middle) floats like a ballerina during a "lineout." Sarah Himeon bats the ball toward the waiting Sandra Yope.
The men's cross country team, coached by Maj Phillip Elliot, had an excellent season. Led by senior captain Brett Hyde, the team placed third in the tough WAC conference championships held in the Boise, Idaho mini-dome.
The eventual NCAA champion University of Texas at El Paso took first with 18 points (low score wins). Next came Brigham Young with 65 and Air Force with 78 points. So the Falcons did very well in their initial season.
Although the cadets didn't claim title to any invitational meets they were runner-up in the Adams State, Southern Colorado and Colorado meets.
Individually, Hyde was the pace setter. Hyde was the first Falcon to finish the distance in every meet, including a first place finish in the Southern Colorado Invitational and a respectable 7th place in the NCAA District 7 championships. The 5 mile record for cadets was broken by Hyde (24:17.6) who also broke the home
course record with a 25:35 time.
Other team standouts were seniors Alan Babcock, Perry LaMont, Bryan Kelchner, and John Fagnant. Dan Rooney, junior; and Brian Maas, sophomore were also integral members of the team.
The defending AIAW Division II National Champion Women's Cross Country team placed third in this years competition. The Falcons were led by All-American Rita Burr, who finished 13th with a 18:38.4 for the 5,000 meter course. Also placing high in the Seattle, Washington meet was sophomore Theresa Hanrahan at 16th place and narrowly missing the coveted All-American status. Receiving the award for most valuable player at the athletic awards banquet in May was Theresa Hanrahan.

Afternoon athletics were not overlooked, however. Sometimes the intramural field saw as much heroic effort as the intercollegiate field. Here, average cadets had thechoice to surprise themselves by pushing their skills past previously attained levels. Although

there was not always a huge crowd to cheer each cadet on, there were many pressures to face. Cadet's confronted the exhaustion of cross-country running in thin air and the pre-match nerves of boxing. Leadership skills were also tested as cadet coaches tried to produce the best team they could from whatever talent was available. Cadet Referees had to contend with the difficulty of sticking to unpopular
decisions. Although intramurals were potentially quite challenging, they also provided cadets with a chance to relax and forget about academics for awhile. They provided squadrons, including those with mediocre records, an additional area in which to develop spirit and a sense of belonging among their members. All that individuals needed to succeed in intramurals was enthusiasm.

THROUGH LIFT IS SUSTAINED BY THE POWER OF HIS KNOWLEDGE.
"Education is what remains after you have forgotten what you learned in school."
Anonymous.
Ignorance is a handicap which at times binds each of us to faulty decisions; and unfounded prejudices. Conversely, knowledge is power. As Air Force officers we will be expected to wear many hats, as soldiers, leaders, administrators, managers, ambassadors, and scientists. The scope of these jobs require a similarly broad educational foundation. For this reason the United States Air Force Academy differs from most civilian institutions by placing the emphasis on diversity through its core curriculum, rather than on specialization in individual academic majors.
Individuals who can communicate, who can write and speak clearly are like vintage wine, precious metals, and antique cars. The less of them there are the more valuable they become. In the military there can be no function without communication.
Section Editor: Anthony Hinen, '81
To be sure, there can be no war without planes and pilots, but just as surely there can be no war unless someone cuts the orders for their bombs and bullets. To a very real degree, the mission of the Air Force in our communication-oriented society is to fly and to write.
The Armed Forces of the United States have a unique and important role in national and international affairs. Given the delicate balance of political power, and the technologically intensive state to which the conduct of warfare has evolved, there will be little margin for error in the planning and in the conduct of the next military conflict. The Air Force officer must therefore have a working understanding of the world, its people, and their cultures, as well as the political superstructure defining the context within which war will be fought.
In the days when war was fought with rocks and spears the early forerunner of today's military research and development branch which invented the catapult was an important asset to the military forces of his
day. No less an asset are the engineers developing weapons systems in our own age. Technology advances geometrically. While it took mankind hundreds of years to discover the wheel, modern man has gone from Kitty Hawk to the moon in less than 70 years. Scientists are an important part ofthe Air Force of today, and even the pilot requires a rudimentary understanding of the principles which allow his complex million-plus dollar aircraft to function.
As the inscription indicates, "Man's flight through life is sustained by the power of his knowledge." More important than the facts and figures to which cadets are exposed in quantity, are the educated world view and the problem solving processes which they develop during their undergraduate tenure at the Air Force Academy. This kernel of knowledge and experience will stand the graduate in good stead long after the formulas, names, and dates are lost and forgotten.

Trying desperately to escape a profound discussion of the nature of the universe while in an English class, more than one curious cadet has inquired: “But what for is us fighter jocks gonna need English when we go in the real Air Force? And more than one weathered officer has replied “A whole lots.”
While the fanatics in the English Department are quick to replace a misplaced modifier or clarify unclear antecedents, they’re sure to keep proper emphasis on developing the cadets’ ability to think and to communicate. Yes, the English department, according to department head Colonel Jack M. Shuttleworth, is a place where “thinking is authorized.” In fact, all cadets have at least four semesters of English to prove their capacity for creative, original, and logical thought.
The doolies start right off with English 111, the introductory writing and literature appreciation course. With three different levels of 111, the Class of 1984 sampled anything from T.S. Eliots’ The Hollow Man to a journey into Joseph Conrad’s The Heart of Darkness, with no one escaping that ominous freshman research paper. But most of the writing assignments consisted of short essays and a creative project.
The 3°s had an even greater opportunity to express their creativity in English 212, speech and composition. The Class of 1983 switched to the verbal mode as the pencils dropped and the cameras rolled. At least three separate speeches were required: a description speech, a persuasive speech, and an oral interpretation, each allowing for some individuality in expression and presentation. The descriptive speeches were filmed and all students were allowed to view and critique themselves an eye-opening experience for many otherwise potential TV stars.
The secondclassmen had no such luxuries; not only were they critiqued by their own instructors, but the technical writing jocks were required to have technical experts from other departments evaluate their work as well. Though the tech-writing course (English 330), didn’t quicken the pulse of too many 2°s, the course is one of “extreme practical value in varied applications.” In lieu of English 330, secondclassmen majoring in the social sciences took the advanced composition course, English 350. With studies in literature and other intellectual sinks, the 350 troops exercised their specialties reasoning and writing. And for a select few hardcore humanities types,

either core English 330 or 350 was foregone for a choice of an enrichment English course ranging in subjects from studies in American literature to surveys in Russian literature. An even smaller few were accepted into English 330H, the Academy’s famous Blue Tube program, a cadet produced TV “popular” program, consisting of newsbriefs, advertisements, and activity and personality spotlights.
Although the Class of 1981 didn’t have quite the flexibility in core English options as the 2°s, some Firsties were allowed to substitute an enrichment course for English 406, didn’t have it half bad: the “book of the week club” (as it is often called) also featured several films including Citizen Kane, To Kill A Mockingbird, The Graduate, and Apocalypse Now.
While most l°s were somewhat relieved at completing the last of the core “fuzzy studies,” there was still an obvious sentiment that the English core “wasn’t really all that bad.” In fact, some cadets enjoyed “fuzzies” so much they enrolled in some of the (30 + ) enrichments like Shakespeare, Women in Literature, Studies in Existentialism, The American Reniassance, and even a creative writing course taught by Distinguished Visiting Professor Dr. Charles Clerc, from the University of the Pacific in California. Much of the creative writing was submitted for publication in the Academy’s (English Department sponsored) creative magazine Icarus, and for publication in the cadet magazine, the TALON, as were several English 350 “popular article” projects.
The English department includes about 45 instructors to direct boththe core and enrichment courses. In addition, over 50 literarily inclined cadets were humanities majors in 1980-1981, each having the opportunity to enjoy nearly a dozen additional English courses. Whatever the motivation for concentrating on studies in English and the humanities be they enjoyment, enrichment, or insightful edification the cadets’ benefits were tremendous. No doubt, the English department is turning out some of the finest communication experts in the Air Force pencil pushers, desk drivers, silo studs, and fighter jocks alike.
C2C Dave Levy prepares to read his scriptduring a dress rehearsal for English 330 Honors “Blue Tube.”If you should be strolling along the sixth floor of Fairchild Hall and happen to hear phrases like “Como esta Usted?” or “Bonjour Monsieur” or even “3 II PABCTBYNTE” you have not passed a space warp to the United Nations building nor have you been transported to a foreign Air Force headquarters, it is just the Foreign Languages Department. The department’s mission is to awaken cadets to the fact that other languages and cultures are of vital importance to our nation and to the Air Force and to instill in them a curiosity about those cultures through the use of a particular foreign language. We offer such cultural experiences in Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Spanish and Russian. The department is particularly fortunate to be complemented and enriched by foreign exchange officers from Argentina, France, Germany, Mexico and Spain.
One of the Department of Foreign Languages’ greatest contributions to the Academy and the Air Force is the preparation of cadets participating in the exchange programs. The oldest of these programs is the exchange with French Air Force Academy. The most recent group of cadets in the exchange had the following comments on their trip: “We spent one semester in the ‘Ecole de l’Air’ in Salone, France. We feel this program is of tremendous value to all partaking in the exchange and we received numerous benefits. Among these were

the opportunities to increase our language proficiency and cultural exposure, a firsthand look at cadet life at another academy and perhaps, above all, the formation of lifetime friendships.” Highlights of this program included tours of Paris, flight instruction and flights in French fighters. “The ski trip to the Alps and the reception by Princes Grace of Monaco will always live in our memory. We feel that of the many ‘good deals’ here at the Academy, this exchange program tops them all.”
Another important exchange is with the Argentine Air Force Academy. Cadet Flores has this to say about the Argentine exchange program. “Participating in this year’s exchange program has been the highlight of our cadet career. From the minute we got to Argentina the ‘red carpet’ was rolled out. Our first stop took us to Bariloche, an Argentine ski resort; then to Mendoza, home of the IV Brigade A-4 Skyhawks and the heart of the Argentine wine industry. Our trip continued to Cordoba where the Argentine Air Force Academy is located, and finally to Buenos Aires. This was a unique experience! It was rewarding to see the level of commitment of the Argentines to their academy. This experience is sure to be a long lasting memory for all of us who had the privilege to go on this trip.”
Today the modern world needs effective communication to achieve common goals of all nations. Foreign language learning is one way to help achieve this goal. No matter what field an individual decides to pursue in his or her life, the knowledge of a foreign language is an asset which can contribute to the welfare of our world. We at Foreign Languages are proud of our contribution!

“I learned that the study of history is much more than the memorization of dates
Under the command of Lt. Colonel Carl W. Reddel, the Department of History offers courses designed for cadets interested in the ideas and forces of the past that have shaped the present. Because the major emphasizes the development of historical judgment, research techniques, writing skills, and critical thinking, it is excellent management and leadership training for junior officers aspiring to future staff and command positions.
The Department of History offers a degree in one of four areas of concentration: Military History, American History, Area History, or General History. Common to all four tracks is History 330, Historical Methods. This course introduces the cadet to the process of “doing” history; that is, researching, organizing, and writing an original history paper of 15 to 20 pages. In addition to this and other courses listed in the catalog, the Department offers several unique courses; History 495, a special topics course offering each semester selected subjects in history such as the The Arab-Israeli Wars (Fall 1980), the The History of Christianity (Spring 1981); History 499, an independent study course, is designed to let the student investigate a topic of his own choice under the guidance of an instructor; and honor sections of core History courses for selected students.
Although the primary responsibility of the Depart
ment lies in instruction, faculty members devote a good deal of time to several cadet-enrichment activities, among themthe History Club, the Distinguished Professionals in Residence Program (DPIR), and Summer Research.
The History Club, with over 430 members, is second only to the Cadet Ski Club in terms of overall membership. The club fosters discussion on historical issues through a series of dinner-lectures. Under the leadership of Captain Pittman, OIC, and C1C Yvonne Wilhelm, Preisdent, the club has enjoyed such speakers as: Lt. General A. P. Clark, USAF (retired), former Superintendent of the Academy; Brigadier General David W. Winn, USAF (retired), former Commander of the NORAD Combat Operations Center; Major Robert Young, former member of the U.N. Peace Keeping Force in the Middle East; and Mr. Bill Madsen, from the Academy’s Public Affairs Office, who lectured on World War I aviation.
In addition to the History Club speakers, the DPIR program gives 3rd Class cadets in History 202 an opportunity to talk to senior military officers who have had an impact on the Air Force. This year the Department had six distinguished speakers: General John D. Ryan, USAF (retired), former Chiefof Staff of the Air Force; General T. R. Milton, USAF (retired),
former Chairman of the NATO Military Committee; Lt. General James D. Hughes, Commander of PACAF: Brigadier General Robin Olds, USAF (retired), former Commandant of Cadets and Commander of the famous “Triple Nickle” Squadron during the Vietnam conflict; and Brigadier General Robinson Risner, USAF (retired), former Vice Commander of the 4th Allied Prisoner of War Wing imprisoned in North Vietnam.
Besides these enrichment activities, Summer Research provides an unparalleled opportunity for top students in the Department to receive “hands on” experience in Air Force Operations and senior level staff work. Four cadets from the Class of 1981 Randy Bently, Steve Barrington, Randy Breault, and Pete Costello spent six weeks of their first class summer in HQ Logistics Command at Wright-Patterson AFB and HQ USAF at the Pentagon.
In addition to these programs the Department plays a substantial role in the development of one of history’s important subdisciplines Military History. Beginning in 1967 the Department, in cooperation with the Academy’s Association of Graduates, has sponsored the ongoing Military History Symposia. Each symposium has been organized around a key military issue, enabling the publication of a proceedings volume by the Government Printing Office on each theme. This year’s topic was “The American Military and the Far East.”
The activities and accomplishments of the Department of History have all been directed toward the development of Air Force officers. Within the Academy program, history contributes to the basic process of education. It emphasizes the development of reasoning ability, the appreciation of how the past influences human affairs, and the ability to explore issues with a perspective informed and made more penetrating by historical inquiry. Through its outstanding program of academics and enrichment activities, the Department of History continues to fulfill its mission of preparing future Air Force officers to meet the challenges of the next century.
When I was a kid I disliked history because I could think of many more interesting things to do than memorize silly dates and events. I mean, I couldn’t remember whether the SpanishAmerican War came before or after the German bombing of Pearl Harbor, or when Archie Livinquist (son of Jack and Jill Livinquist, who are second generation Himalayan immigrants now living in the manufacturing section of Philadelphia, Ohio) moved to Liddsville, Iowa to raise chicken livers. And who cares about the significance of who the first fully automated spinning jenny was named after, or which Tuesday in the second week of November John Hancock signed the Consitution?
But somewhere along the way, as I think most graduates of History 101 can attest, I learned that the study of history is much more than the memorization of dates and names and places of conflicts. I came to realize that because history is so dynamic, it can help teach those who study it to ask the right questions, one of the most important skills any academic discipline can provide. The importance of critical thinking and asking the right questions came home to me again while I was at the Pentagon last summer, preparing a briefing on future plans for dealing with low level conflicts (such as guerrilla warfare and terrorism). As we explored different scenarios, avenues of attack, and possible solutions, I realized that the identification of the critical points was often, as it was in that particular case, the key to solving the problem.
But the real reason that I became a history major was because of enjoyment. I enjoy the challenge to think and to understand, rather than merely memorize and repeat; a challenge that is presented in dynamic subjects such as history. I enjoy the challenge of translating my thoughts ijtto coherent arguments, and of expressing myself clearly. And since the Air Force will provide the necessary training for all but a few skills after graduation, history is applicable to everyone. In the final analysis, history relates to all areas of life even engineering. In 1687 some obscure scientist wrote something to the effect that F=MA, thus revolutionizing Man’s understanding of the physical universe. At least, that is what I have been taught. But only in history class, of course
by C1C Steven A. BarringtonWhat does today’s Air Force Academy cadet have in common with Socrates? And why should future military leaders study the writings and teachings of both ancient and modern philosophers? Besides being a soldier himself for a time, Socrates, through Plato, focused Western man’s attention on the central moral questions of human existence. In the Apology, Plato has Socrates saying, “The unexamined life is not worth living.” For cadets in our philosophy classrooms a parallel thought might be that “the unexamined ideal is not worth dying for.”
All cadets take at least one course in ethics and may choose electives from several other philosophy courses. Department members assist the Cadet Professional Ethics Committee in its difficult task of educating peers concerning the Honor Code. More formally, the department’s courses in philosophy and religion prepare cadets to be better thinkers, educated citizens, and competent Air Force officers. In their ethics courses, in addition to examining the moral insights of important ethical theorists, cadets address issues such as
“officership as a profession,” “the ethics of leadership,” and “the morality of war.” As a result of their ethical studies at the Academy, cadets are better prepared to handle the moral problems they will encounter as tomorrow’s Air Force leaders.
The Air Force Academy, however, does not necessarily agree with Plato, one of the most famous Greek philosophers and a student of Socrates, when he advocates, in The Republic, an ideal state void of “imitative artists.” Because we do not view art as merely imitation, we think that an understanding and appreciation of the arts are admirable qualities for a well-rounded officer to possess, and we offer courses in both art and music. These courses are designed so that cadets can expand their own creativity while recognizing the creativity of others. History has repeatedly demonstratedhow architectural structures and other valuable works of art have been unfortunately destroyed by the ravages of war. Should our nation again be involved in armed conflict, we would hope that those decision-makers who had gained a certain awareness and sensitivity to the arts through their education at the Academy would spare those artifacts which are unrelated or inessential to tactical or strategic objectives.
If we can help our potential officers to become better thinkers, imbued with moral and aesthetic sensitivity, then perhaps we will have contributed in some measure to their development as good persons and good leaders.

“SUCCESS FOUR FLIGHTS THURSDAY MORNING ALL AGAINST TWENTY ONE MILE WIND STARTED FROM LEVEL WITH ENGINE POWER ALONE AVERAGE SPEED THROUGH AIR THIRTY ONE MILES LONGEST 57 SECONDS INFORM PRESS HOME CHRISTMAS.”
The above telegram, sent from Orville Wright to his father on 7 December 1903, ushered in a new era in the history of mankind the era of powered flight. The ever increasing pace of aeronautical development has brought abouttremendous changes in the types and uses of aircraft since that first flight nearly 78 years ago. The establishment of the United States Air Force Academy was a direct result of the importance of manned flight to our Country. The Department of Aeronautics is dedicated to providing all cadets, through our two core courses, with an understanding of, and appreciation for, the basic principles of powered flight and an ; introduction to the quantitative evaluation of energy usage, a subject of ever increasing importance in our Nation. In addition to the 2 core courses, the Department teaches 16 advanced courses, and offers a degree in Aeronautical Engineering to the interested cadet. The
Aeronautical Engineering Major provides the cadet with a strong background in the fundamentals of flight mechanics, propulsion, aerodynamics, and structures. The curriculum takes the student over the mental hurdles that stimulate and develop his mind. Although the ability to think logically, to identify a problem, and to provide a solution is not exclusively derived from engineering disciplines, it is essential to them, developed through them, and carried over from them. The Aeronautical Engineering Major provides the cadet with a sound and relevant engineering background upon which to build an Air Force career.
The Aeronautics Laboratory is a superb research and teaching facility which directly supports the Aeronautical Engineering Major. The Laboratory includes a trisonic wind tunnel, a subsonic wind tunnel, flow visualization facilities, and 4 test cells for testing jet engines and rockets. Cadets, under faculty guidance, perform research to further their education and, in many cases, to do original investigation in an area of current interest to the Air Force. Two cadets from the Class of 1981, Andre Gerner and Christopher Mauer, won first place in the 1981 regional American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) competition for their research program. The Cadet Chapter of AIAA is sponsored by the Department of Aeronautics.
The Department makes a determined effort to relate classroom academic theory to the real needs and interests of the Air Force. The varied Air Force backgrounds of the members of the Department provide a solid foundation for achieving this objective. In addition, extensive use is made of guest speakers such as Air Force test pilots and engineers, NASA astronauts, and prominent aircraft designers and engineers from civilian industry.
The members of the Department of Aeronautics are very proud of their role in preparing the graduates of the Class of 1981 for their graduation and commissioning. We wish them well as they embark on their Air Force careers.
Maj Hammond explains a problem to C1C George Odernheimer and C1C Blane Hook in Aero 463 Advanced Flight Controls.“When do we get our own department?”
When an unwary thirdclassman finally decides to sell his soul to the Department of Astronautics and Computer Science in return for an Astronautical Engineering degree, something miraculous happens. Armed with a scarlet “A” engraved on his chest (impervious to all but the strongest SSBM) and a starry look in his eye (blurring his vision and allowing him to go so far as to assume that the earth is a nonrotating, spherical, homogeneous point mass), the new Astro major has become a unique addition to the academic world.
During his three years of study, he will become an optimist, and a strong one at that. Only the toughest of cadets could receive Lab Handout 3 the same day he turned in Lab 2 (65 pages and two all-nighters long) without having a nervous breakdown right in class. Only a blind optimist would ask that the computer stay up until 2330 because he knows that “this time it has to work.” And only a will of steel would allow a man to dig out 21 lessons worth of work on a rocket without first setting fire to the valley it is buried in.
The Astro major will also develop a “cando-anything” attitude. Project II in Astro 453 will help show that, though he does not understand the theory behind the problem, the method of solution, the computer’s calculations, or the use for his results, he can solve anything. Unfortunately, the Department already
knows that he can do anything. They will set out to prove this by forcing him into Engineering 350, EE 340, and Astro 452. The equivalent of this punishment for any other mortal man would be to starve, to burn, and then receive a frontal labotomy.
Finally, the Astro major will become (for lack of a better word) different. First, he will be the only person to stay awake during all the Astro 332 movies. Then, he will gladly spend all weekend on the computer trying to make the output for Project PREDICT look “pretty.” Later on, he will pull two all-nighters a week for lab reports “because I like this stuff; it interests me.” Last of all, he will decide on either the design track and regress to his childhood dreams of building rockets or the control track and graduate understanding less about Astro than when he first entered.
So, next time you run across an Astro major, console him for his red eyeballs and his ninety-page computer run, but do not pity him. After three years of orbits, rockets, and control systems, he does not need pity; he has become proud of the effort he has put forth and of the degree he will receive. Working hard was worth it. Besides, there is always hope that life will eventually be kind to those it treats harshly now.
-CIC Robert J. Alvarez A “firstie” works on the wing of a human-powered airplane in his Engineering 430 class. Engineering 430 is administered by the Department of Astronautics and Computer Science with instructors from all engineering science departments.“Computer Science.” Besides “Hell Week,” what other two words instill greater fear into the faint hearts of doolies? Even Firstie engineering majors tremble at the thought of having to grapple with the almighty Billy Burroughs for some exotic term project. Yet the computer science department here at the Academy isn’t f,! nearly as bad as cadets make it out to be. As a matter of fact, both the computer science instructors and majors have a pretty good time over in Fairchild Hall.
Overthe past few years, this good spirit has enabled the Academy’s computer science curriculum to become one of the best in the nation. There are three available “tracks” in the major, these being software engineering, scientific applications, and data base management. There is a broad range of courses offered as well, ranging from the CS 100 “core” through the 362 simulation course up to the advanced compiler and design courses. Many of the offerings are unique, such as CS 467 (networks), r which is the only such undergraduate course of its kind nationwide.
But courses aren’t the only things that make up an r academic department here at USAFA. Naturally, it’s the it
to “can-do-anything”
people who really make an organization go. With the all-powerful Lt Col Eller as the department head, one knows that things will get done in DFACS. Lt Col Zingg, and Krause as the leaders of the Computer Science section, ensure this with their steady smiles and easy-to-work-for dispositions. There are some truly outstanding instructors in the department as well, with such die hards as Capt Bolz, Capt Jones, and Lt Col Sorce, along with such newcomers as Capt Albracht and Lt Booch. The cadets hold up their end of things too, with the number of majors more than doubling from the Class of 1980 to 1981. DFACS graduated over 40 computer science majors this year, and more than 60 cadets in 1982 have declared the computer science major.
With this ever-increasing interest in computers brought on by the 1980’s, the computer science major is quickly becoming one of the best offered here at the Academy. Our only question is, “When do we get our own department? .”
-C1C Philip R. Landweer A second-classman waits for “Billy” to reply.“Oldest discipline of the applied engineering sciences”
Civil engineering, the oldest discipline of the applied engineering sciences, is a field which has a direct and significant impact on our daily lives. In fact, the social welfare and high standard of living which most Americans enjoy today are contingent on the safe and economical roads, buildings, and utility systems made possible by civil engineers. Civil engineers also play an integral role in the design, development, and maintenance of the strategic systems upon which the safety and sovereignty of the free world rests. Contrary to popular belief, civil engineering requires much more than mere technical expertise. It demands a working knowledge of economics, management, the basic sciences, and an appreciation of the needs and problems of society.
The Academy’s Department of Civil Engineering provides a diverse curriculum and sponsors many interesting activities in order to produce junior officers
possessing the professional qualities and knowledge required to meet the needs of the Air Force and society as a whole. Courses include such interesting topics as hydraulics, construction, surveying, steel and concrete design, structural dynamics, and alternative sources of energy. Moreover, every CE major has the opportunity to participate in a variety of field trips, projects, and informal lectures. For instance, field trips to CF&I Steel in Pueblo, the Air Force Weapons Laboratory at Kirtland AFB, the Coors Brewery, and the infamous trip to Offutt AFB are excellent learning experiences not to mention a nice break from classroom instruction.
Today’s society requires that the engineering disciplines be dynamic and flexible in order to meet the requirements of our rapidly changing technologically oriented world. As such, civil engineering is a growing field with a fantastic future and limitless opportunities.
CIC’s Len Patrick and Steve Moes perform a compression test on a soil sample.
Affectionately referred to as “The Magic Kingdom,” the field of electrical engineering science is often viewed by the ordinary cadet as an object of profound and inviolable mystery. Dedicated to the goal of reversing this perception and committed to the idea that the understanding of basic electrical engineering concepts is not only within the grasp of the least of cadets but also essential for the Air Force officer of the future, the Department of Electrical Engineering has devised a relevant and well-balanced program.
At the heart of the program are the two core courses. Digital Signals and Systems (El Engr 210) is the first electrical engineering course encountered by the cadet, majors and non-majors alike. Repeatedly emphasizing the application of systematic design procedures for the development of digital information processing systems, the course divides the study of digital logic design into four parts: combinational logic design, common logic circuits, subsystems design, and overall information processing systems design. The course culminates with the design of a four-bit digital computer system.
The other core course, Signals and Systems (El Engr 310), is for the non-major exclusively.Having been recently revised, it is built on the premise that the non-engineer need not know the intricacies of the workings of operational amplifiers, transistors, and
other details of circuit analysis. Rather, he gains a knowledge of the functional capabilities of electronics today and an understanding of signals and systems constructed from elementary building blocks and the methods by which they are combined to form useful systems.
The cadet who chooses electrical engineering as his major takes Circuit Analysis (El Engr 340) instead of El Engr 310. Here the cadet learns both theoretical and applied circuit analysis techniques. Continuing in the majors program, all majors also take courses in solid state electronics (El Engr 341 and 342), signal and systems analysis (El Engr 346), electromagnetics (El Engr 443), and design (El Engr 464).
Each major also has an opportunity to concentrate his studies in one of two areas. The computer electives include courses in modern logic design (El Engr 380), real-time computation (El Engr 487), and microprocessor systems (El Engr 488). The communications program offers courses in communications systems (El Engr 447), data communications (El Engr 448), and optical electronics (El Engr 449).
In addition to the academic studies, cadets may also participate in any of several enrichment activities. For example, members of the Cadet Electronics Club can pursue hobby interests and share ideas with faculty

One of the highlights of this year was the trip that Club members took to the Keesler Technical Training Center (KTTC) and the NASA Space Technology Labs (NSTL). Eighteen majors toured the communications - electronics facilities at Keesler AFB, Mississippi, which included air traffic control and mobile tactical radar training facilities, the 1939 Engineering Installation Group, and the “Hurricane Hunters” of the 7 ACCS. Following tours of the facilities at Keesler, the group visited NSTL at Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, best known for its role of testing the engines for the space shuttle.
Cadets may also join the local Student Branch of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the world’s largest professional engineering society. The mission of IEEE is directed toward the advancement of the theory and practice of electrical engineering, electronics, radio, allied branches of engineering, related arts and sciences, and the standing of the members it serves. Participation in the Student Branch provides insight into the electrical engineering career field by offering activities such as field trips, lectures, seminars, and design projects. Two of our students won recognition this year when they each took honors in the annual IEEE Student Paper Contest. At the Area competition held at the University of Wyoming, Laramie, where students from three Rocky Mountain states competed, C1C Silvi Kiisk received the first place prize for presenting her paper on “A Simple Digital Voice Recognition System” and C1C Kurt Baum receivedthe second place prize for his paper on “Design of an Intelligent Robot through the Use of Multi-Computer Communication.” C1C Kiisk then went on to win first place in the Regionnl competition held in Oklahoma City which culminated competition between students from 40 colleges and universities located in 11 Midwest and Rocky Mountain states. This was the first time that an Academy cadet had ever won first place at the Regional level.
This past year, eight cadets from the Class of 1981 spent six weeks of their First Class Summer participating in the Summer Research Program. This program provides an exceptional opportunity for top students in the Department to receive “on-the-job” experience in the research and development scene. Each cadet went to one of the following locations: the Air Force Weapons Lab at Kirtland AFB: the Air Force Armament Lab at Eglin AFB; the Rome Air Development Center, Griffiss AFB; the Air Force Communications Command at Lindsey AFS; the 475th Test Squadron at Tyndall AFB; the Electronic Systems Division at Hanscom AFB; the Air Force Test Pilot School at Edwards AFB; and the Air Force Avionics Lab at Wright-Petterson AFB.
Through its outstanding program of academics and enrichment activities, the Department of Electrical Engineering continues to fulfill its mission of preparing future Air Force officers to meet the challenges of the Electronic Age.

Our adventures with the Engineering Mechanics Department started with a band the infamous BOARDWORK of Mech 110. Little can smother those warm memories of hours spent at the blackboards slaving to convince ourselves that yes, “F” does equal “ma.” Perhaps for some of us it took quite a while for those new ideas to sink in because, being the conscientious doolies and military professionals we were, we were always worrying about the “inevitable” shoe inspections which never happened! But we survived those first true traumas and proved our beaming wisdom and insight by declaring academic majors in the “Mech Department.” The years ahead as Mech or Engineering Science majors brought with them a true satisfaction of having met and survived a real challenge.
Some of the highlights of our chosen majors the design and manufacturing projects ranged from exercises in creativity to fumbles in futility. The “Knife Course” produced everything from knives reminiscent of the stone age to true works of art and more than one bloody finger! Certainly the “old standby” (the Egg Drop Project) showed us that dropping an egg from the ceiling of the Field House with even our ingenious protection devices is a great way to scramble it on the astroturf.
Other interesting design efforts included a reclining chair, a therapeutic walker for a child with cerebral
palsy, and a still to produce gasohol. And we all have to pity the guy who chose to build the impossible: a perpetual motion machine. To our successes and “almost successes” in these endeavors we owe heart felt thanks to our beloved lab technicians and instructors. All in all, our minor “hall marks of engineering” taught us through lots of sweat and a handful of ulcers that engineering is indeed both a science and an art.
Through feats of unquestionable engineering magic, the Mech Club managed to stretch the classroom all the way down to Pueblo and up to Martin Marietta. These field trips exposed us to real-life engineering and how it applies to at least one topic near and dear to all of us the Space Shuttle.
Our experiences as Mech and Engineering Science majors were important stepping stones for the years to come. As we leave the Academy, in various directionsUPT, test and design labs across the country, and one Rhodes Scholar on his way to Oxford we will remember, as we cross paths in distant times in far-away places, our common thread in the Department of Engineering Mechanics at USAFA.
Under the command of Colonel Harvey W. Schiller, the Chemistry Department offers courses designed for cadets who are interested in chemical research or applications.
The Chemistry major provides fundamental knowledge in analytical, inorganic, organic, biochemistry, and physical chemistry. The Chemistry major allows the cadet to select one of two degree programs. One program leads to a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry degree, and the other leads to a Bachelor of Science degree.
The B.S. in Chemistry degree is designed to prepare cadets for a junior officer position in research, development, or graduate training. This major fulfills the recommendations of the Committee on Professional Training of the American Chemical Society. It emphasizes the use of laboratory methods for reinforcement of lecture material and individual research projects. In addition to the core curriculum, cadets must take ten advanced courses in chemistry and one science option in order to be awarded the B.S. in Chemistry degree.
The B.S. degree program, General Chemistry Track, is designed for cadets who wish to combine an emphasis in chemistry with advanced courses in other disciplines.

This sequence in General Chemistry reduces the number of laboratory courses. In addition to the core curriculum, cadets must take eight advanced courses in chemistry, two science options, and one open option.
The Department provides several cadet-enrichment activities the Chemistry Club, Cadet Summer Research, and the Independent Study Program. The Chemistry Club fosters discussion on current issues of chemistry through dinner lectures, by presenting the “Chemical Magic” show at Academy Open Houses, and through tours of chemical laboratories in the local area.
Cadet Summer Research provides an unparalleled opportunity for top students to receive “hands-on” experience in chemical research and development at various Air Force laboratories. The Independent Study Program (Chem 499) allows the chemistry student to work side-by-side with an Air Force chemist while accomplishing fundamental research in support of an Air Force project.
The Class of 1981 chemistry majors are a small, but elite, group. They are looking forward to a variety of assignments, which include research, Undergraduate Pilot Training, and graduate school.
The physics major is perhaps the toughest major at the United States Air Force Academy. Each cadet who becomes a physics major spends endless hours attempting to learn classical physics only to find out later that the inadequate classical physics must be replaced by quantum mechanics. And no one really understands quantum mechanics.
Presently, there are three different types of physics majors. They are traditional physics, atmospheric physics and engineering physics. Physics majors take at least seven majors courses in common. These courses include Physics 357 where we learn that the Coriolis Force is truly the underlying force in nature. In Physics 358 we find that the wave equation can describe the motion of a recent graduates hand as he waves goodbye to the Academy. Modern Physics 363 is all relative relatively “Bohr-ing” that is, and lasers are studied in Physics 382. But whatever the specific field of concentration, all physics majors would agree that the uncertainty principle applies more often during a physics GR than at any other time.
To keep the physics major from switching to a basic sciences major, the physics club offers many outstanding activities. Some of the more recent trips taken by members of the clubinclude the Livermore Laboratory,
Vandenburg AFB, Wright-Patterson AFB, Malmstrom AFB (to photograph a solar eclipse), and the Weapons Laboratory at Kirkland AFB. In addition to the trips, the club sponsors numerous parties and dining-ins throughout the year. Occasionally, the cadets have an opportunity to demonstrate their superior athletic skills by defeating the physics instructors in nearly every sport. The huge success of the physics club is mainly due to the club’s advisor and the vigorous support of the physics faculty.

From the smallest organic molecule to the largest redwood tree, from the depths of the ocean to the reaches of space, from the distant past to the distant future, biologists are concerned with the incredible diversity and flexibility of life. Our faculty imparts knowledge, but we also try to encourage the basic appreciation, curiosity, and wonder which bring people into a study of biology. Progress through the courses offered by the Department of Biology allows the student to indulge his curiosity, to discover new facts, to integrate new concepts, and to obtain new insights for an understanding of the total phenomena of life.
The Department is structured to match the diversity and flexibility we see in life itself. Beyond our core course, three common courses begin each biology major: Bio Sci 330 surveys animal life, Bio Sci 331 surveys plant life and Bio Sci 380 explores the inter-relationships of organism and environment. With this common background each student then individually tailors his study program to meet his own interests and needs. Historically, three main “tracks” have developed: 1) an emphasis on ecology and environmental biology; 2) an emphasis on human performance relating to stress, sports, and systems design and 3) an emphasis on building a background compatible with future graduate or professional studies.
Additional flexibility is provided to our basic course
offerings through two courses, Bio 495 and Bio 499. Bio 495 is a special topics seminar structured each semester around faculty expertise and student interests. Topics covered have included Space Biology, Nutrition, Parasitology, Experimental Biology, and others. Bio 499 is a chance for independent research by the student. Here we are doubly endowed with indoor laboratories and, as well, perhaps one of the greatest outdoor environmental-study areas of any school in the nation.
Away from structured courses, the Biology Club offers a chance for cadetsand faculty to meet in an informal atmosphere to discuss biology and other topics of concern. Additionally, there are club-sponsored field trips, picnics, and lectures to provide a well-rounded enjoyment of biology and the company of fellow biologists.

function is vitally important not just for the future scientist, but for any officers. The applications and implications of biological research are having profound medical, ethical, social, legal, and political impacts on our world. In very recent years such issues have been raised as depletion of the ozone layer, cloning, drug use, technologies that surpass the biological limits of the operator, genetic engineering, bionically modifying (improving?) man, biological warfare, and more. A study of biology places this “biological revolution” in perspective and permits informed decisions by the citizens and leaders of tomorrow. The deeper we delve into the nature of life, the more successfully we are able to manage our own bodies and to cooperate with our environment for our own welfare and the benefit of others.
A ’76 grad once wrote back to the Academy, and in his letter he remarked, “It turns my stomach when I see someone plug-and-chug without the foggiest idea of what’s happening, wasting time or money because of a lack of appreciation for the limitations and/or pitfalls of mathematical tools.” These tools are what the math major learns to apply to everything from management to the applied sciences.
As a math major, the cadet has the option of choosing from one of three fields in math representing this entire spectrum. The Operations Research (OR) field is oriented towards applying the problem solving approach to management and economic problems. While OR orients itself more towards the non-technical areas of application, the applied mathematics field is more technically oriented. Several cadets major in applied math along with other applied sciences and engineering such as computer science, electrical engineering and physics. It provides the tools for these applied sciences. And then there is the purist the theoretical math major who studies math for itself, just like the kid who dives into a freshly raked pile of autumn leaves just because it’s there.
Along with the broad-based core curriculum required of every graduate, the math major program awards the student a most prized possession, flexibility. This ability is critical to adapt to an unknown future. The cadet who majors in mathematics is qualified to enter any number of Air Force career fields, from the management-oriented to those requiring knowledge of the latest scientific technology. Current options open to the math graduate include Space Systems, Scientific Analyst, Communications, and Computer related jobs. For those interested in graduate school, the math major offers more options than would otherwise be available to one with a Bachelor’s degree in a specific engineering discipline. In sum, the math major offers the flexibility needed for the technical requirements of the Air Force.
Boardwork is used by instructors to enforce the students understanding of the problem.

C1C Rosco Ramjet throws his hat up in the air during graduation four years later. As he watches his hat return to earth he recalls the highlights:
1) The day he slipped (oops) during brain surgery in psychobiology.
2) The day he overslept and missed his own social psychology presentation on “apathy.”
3) The day he got a D- on an anthropology paper on primitive dating rituals observed at the Ring Dance.
4) The day he found out that yoga isn’t something fat people eat.
5) The day he found out what Freud really did write about.
6) The day he discovered that Carl Rogers wasn’t married to Dale Evans.
7) The day he found out he didn’t really have to “build a person from scratch” for his project in Human Engineering.
8) The day after his counseling class when he tried to be open and authentic with a manic depressive.
9) The day he was disappointed when he found out that “OB” stands for Organizational Behavior and has nothing to do with examining tables and stirrups.

What made the difference between “Ramjet” the cadet basic and “Ramjet” the 2nd Lieutenant? Well, the Behavioral Science major didn’t hurt.
The Behavioral Scientist Has A Real Concern for People.
The Department of Behavioral Sciences and Leadership prepares the cadet for operational command positions in the Air Force. The Department performs this function by offering the cadet one of three areas of concentration for study.
Human Factors Engineering is a rapidly growing field within the Air Force and deals with designing systems so they can be used more effectively by their human operators. By its nature, human factors is an interdisciplinary field. To interface the man and machine, the human factors engineer has an understanding of both engineering and behavioral sciences. Therefore, cadets in this track take additional w engineering courses along with their concentration in behavioral science. Human Factors Engineers have an
opportunity to work at the very forefront of space systems and modern weapons systems development.
Unlike the Human Factors Engineer, the Individual Behavior track allows the cadet to study the individual and his/her interaction with otherindividuals. Of the three tracks, Individual Behavior is the most flexible and covers the widest assortment of behavioral science issues. The specific advantages of this track are a chance to learn more about yourself and an opportunity to improve your interpersonal communications skills. It is also a great way to prepare for graduate education in psychology.
The third track, Organizational Behavior, is appropriate for almost any Air Force officer who will find him/herself in a leadership supervisory position. This major teaches how to work with people and how people behave in organizations. It provides instruction on topics such as efficiency in human resource use, job satisfaction, organizational dynamics, and productivity. In short, courses in this field stress the human considerations of management.

The ordinary cadet may derive enjoyment from reading Gary Trudeau’s political satire “Doonesbury” or from skimming a weekly news magazine, but the prospect of majoring in the “fuzzy” science of politics is anathema to many who prefer the concrete (pun?). Visions of abstract ideas taught through a series of lengthy lectures taken from even lengthier reading assignments and then regurgitated in a lengthy paper deter the faint of heart. Many hope to satisfy the Academy’s homo universale requirements through no more than the nine hours of political science included in the core curriculum.
But for the student who is willing to lay calculator aside and endure uncertainty, who is willing to venture beyond the daily headlines, and who wishes to understand “Doonesbury,” the Political Science Department offers an International Affairs (INTAF) major. This major allows the individual student to concentrate in one of four “tracks,” or specialties: International politics, American Politics, Area Studies, or National Security Policy. Common to all four tracks are three
“majors” courses. Political Science
232, Comparative Politics, introduces the INTAF major to political systems of other nations, while Political Science 349, Political Analysis, finds the major in the computer room longing for the prose of Pol Sci 232. The other required majors’ course, Political Theory (Pol Sci 352), gives the major the opportunity to delve into the ideas of political philosophers, old and new.
In addition to the courses listed in the catalogue, the Department teaches several unique courses: Pol Sci 495, a special topics seminar course offering each semester a different, timely topic such as Arms Control, the 1980 Elections and Campaign, NATO, or Intelligence; honor sections of core Political Science courses for selected
students; and, Pol Sci 441Y, Senior Seminar in International Relations, a hand-picked merit section of less than 12 top INTAF majors. Taught for the first time in the fall semester of 1980, Pol Sci 441Y included seminars taught by Undersecretary of the Air Force Antonia Chayes and her staff, focusing on bureaucratic politics and the MX missile. Another highlight of the course was a Congressional simulation in which students assumed the roles of Congressmen in subcommittee hearings for MX appropriations.
Although the primary responsibility of the Department lies in instruction, faculty members devote a good deal of time to several cadet-enrichment activities, among them the Forum Club, the Academy Assembly, and Summer Research. The Cadet Forum on Public Affairs, with over 200 members (open to cadets of any discipline), is one of the largest cadet clubs. The club fosters discussion on current world issues through a series of dinner-lectures featuring local and nationally recognized guest speakers, including: Maj Bob Young
(USA), who gave a slide show and lecture on U.N. peacekeeping in the Middle East; Col Ed Shirley, Deputy Chief, Middle East and Africa Division, HQ USAF/AFXOX, lecturing on Air Force planning for the Middle East; Gen Brent Scowcroft, who related his experiences and impressions as National Security Council Advisor to President Ford; and Brig Gen Robert Oaks, the first graduate to attain that rank.
The Forum Club also sponsors cadet participation in several major national student conferences, including: The Student Conference on National Affairs (SCONA) at Texas A&M, the U.S. Naval Academy Foreign Affairs Conference (NAFAC), the Student Conference on U.S. Affairs (SCUSA) at the U.S. Millitary Academy, and the
National Student Conference (NSC) at the Citadel. The Academy Assembly, co-sponsored by the USAF Academy, the American Assembly of Columbia University, and the Association of Graduates, also provides a forum for discussion of prominent political issues. Cadets have the opportunity to interact with students representing universities and colleges from across the nation as they participate in round-table discussions of topics which parallel those of the American Assembly. Following the smaller round-table sessions, the entire group gathers together for the challenge of producing a consensus report. The topic for the 1981 AcademyAssembly was “Mexican-American Relations.”
Summer Research provides an unparalleled opportunity for top students in the Department to receive “hands-on” experience in the national security policymaking arena. Four cadets from the class of 1981 spent six weeks of their First Class Summer in Washington D.C. working in the State Department, the Defense Intelligence Agency, Headquarters Air Force (RD-M) and the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs, and one cadet served at SHAPE Headquarters in Brussels where he traveled to various military installations in Europe, observing NATO processes in action.
Through time devoted to instruction and various enrichment activities, the Department of Political Science continues to fulfill its mission of providing future Air Force officers with a general knowledge of national and international political concepts and events a subject vital to the effective performance of a career in support of U.S. national security objectives.

Far Left: Maj Kozak lectures to his Pol Sci 442 class American Politics and Public Policy.The 1980-1981 school year turned out to be the last that the Department of Economics, Geography and Management would be together as an entity. Next year, each of these disciplines goes its own way, splitting in to the Department of Economics, the Department of Management, and the Office of Instruction for Geography. The three fields, though somewhat diverse, have complemented each other well over the years and will continue to do so in the future.
Economics at the Air Force Academy is a multi-faceted academic discipline which concentrates on economic defense issues and attracts approximately 30 cadets from each class as Economics majors. All cadets take Economics 221, The Economics of National Defense, and Economics 222, Principles of Economics. This venture into the seemingly uncertain world of supply and demand, interest rates and inflation, “supply-side” versus Keynesian policy is often the first such exposure for many cadets, and their reactions are diverse. From excitement or dismay to intrique versus mystification, no cadet emerges untouched by his or her core economics experience. In addition to traditional and current economic thought, these introductory courses also offer
lessons in defense applications as well as personal financial management. Those cadets who pursue the Economics major are offered a challenging mix of theory and application in a major’s curriculum which allows them to specialize in particular areas of interest. Economics 333, Price Theory, and Economics 356, Macroeconomic Theory, are at the heart of the major, and these courses in classical microeconomic and macroeconomic theory are constantly updated to stay abreast of the dynamic and sometimes scarey economic world around us. At the other end of the spectrum, Economics 465, Introduction to Econometrics, is a highly quantitative course which dwells on the application of statistical tools to economic data and the formulation of economic models and forecasting techniques. All in all, the economics curriculum at the Academy prepares each cadet, to better enter the economic world which is ours whether we like it or not.
No matter what career paths Air Force officers choose, they share one common experience at some point they will be responsible for achieving through other people the objectives of their organizations. They will be managers. They will discover then, if not before,

Managers must also know where to lead their people, how to organize for the journey, and how to tell if they are reaching the goal. Further, managers must understand how their organizations affect and are affected by the environments in which they live. The Department of Management exists to help meet these needs.
All cadets at the Academy take Management 203, the introductory management course. Unlike some core courses, this course is not designed to introduce cadets to the exciting areas they will study as management majors. Rather, its purpose is to impart to each cadet the basic knowledge and skills needed to begin the lifelong study and practice of management. Some cadets, appalled by the lack of definite solutions to vaguely defined problems, make this their last management course. Other cadets, desiring to know more, choose management electives to complement other programs of study. Finally, about 100 cadets each year elect to major in Management or Operations Research (OR).
The Department of Management offers majors in both OR and Management. The OR major combines courses from mathematics, computer science, economics, and management to prepare students to apply the scientific method to management problems. The students select either a mathematics or management track, providing a different emphasis on the basic OR major. The cadet majoring in Management can choose from five areas of emphasis: human resources management, financial management, quantitative management, the management environment, and general management skills. The major includes six required courses, four
majors elective courses, and one open option. The program not only provides a sound managerial foundation but also offers great flexibility. Cadets can, after consulting with their advisors, create a course sequence specifically designed for their career objectives if none of the five established areas fit their needs. The majors electives courses themselves cover a wide spectrum of disciplines, including accounting, finance, organizational behavior, marketing, management science, psychology, economics, cultural geography, potential science, and contract law. Thus a cadet majoring in Management can select courses from any department in the Social Sciences Division.
The diversity of courses in the Management major reflects the complex requirements placed on today’s Air Force managers. The Department of Management seeks to prepare cadets to begin this challenging career.
Geography is a diversified field of study that relates to both the natural and social sciences, and serves as a bridge between the physical and cultural worlds. The geography program offers a flexible curriculum designed to permit in-depth study of a geographic subfield or cross disciplinary study of regions of the world. Recent efforts have been directed to updating the popular techniques courses in cartography and remote sensing. During this past year the department has benefited considerably from the addition of our Visiting Associate Professor, Dr. David Schwarz, who is a noted authority in these highly technical fields. The recent union with economics and management has been an enriching experience. The future is faced with revived optimisim and anticipated growth of the geography curriculum.
Dr. Dave Schwarz, a visiting professor from San Jose State, goes over a G.R. with his Geog 382 class.“The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.” So said Dick the Butcher in Shakespeare’s Henry VI, and all too readily did Jack Cade agree with him. Now really, that’s a little harsh, but one does wonder what all those lawyers are doing on the Academy faculty. Well, they teach, of course, giving the cadets their first structured look at that omnipresent, ever-changing, dominating force we call law property, torts, and the like and struggling to convey some understanding of how all the pieces fit together. Later, for seniors who by then are presumed worldly enough to handle such material, attention focuses on criminal law, evidence, the “real” Air Force legal system, laws of armed conflict, and even a plunge into estate planning. Beyond that, for those with an insatiable interest in law (or those who need additional social science credits), there are challenging courses in constitutional law, government contracts, and international law.
But there’s far more to what these scholarly rogues do than merely teach. They provide legal advice and representation on all sorts of real world problems ranging from contracts to covenants, taxesto trusts, probate to paternity, and on into the most serious of criminal and administrative matters. Basically, if there is an issue you can put a “legal” label on, these people stand ready to go to the wall in the pursuit of justice and the protection of the legal rights of their clients. The bottom line seems to be that they are an integral part
of the faculty and much more: they’re the cadets’ law firm on permanent retainer at just the right price. This may explain why here at the Academy, Dick the Butcher’s recommendation has been put on hold at least for the present.

“There’s no such thing as a free lunch,” as the current trendy phrase states, or, as cadets interpret existing Wing phenomena, “Any good deal has to be accompanied by a bad deal.” Well, according to the thinking of some cadets, the Physical Education Department, historically a hotbed of one-sided good deals, seems to have fallen prey to the “no freebies” mentality this past year when it offered an Elective P.E. Course to all cadets (Yea, good deal) but toughened the administration of the PFT (Boo, Hiss), a definite counterbalancing according to some cadets. However, cadets’ often biased views notwithstanding, the P.E. Department had two major areas of change this year: Elective P.E. courses and stricter administration of the PFT.
In the past, cadets took four P.E. courses per year. This year, however, they were required only to take three courses, leaving one ten-lesson block open. They could then choose to fill this block with one of a variety of courses only as Electives. These courses ranged from Scuba to Air Pistol to Advanced Racktime. The Department offered cadets not only the choice ofwhat new and excitingly different physical education course

they wanted to take, but also the chance not to take any course at all but to lock themselves away in the library and really learn what’s going on in Astro.
However, into each life a little deluge must fall, and this year it fell in the form of a Captain Nope, who revamped certain portions of that all-time cadet favorite, the PFT. Although the test items remained the same, he tightened the administration of those items, working with other officers in the P.E. Department to oversee each test event. These officers now ensure that test events are administered uniformly and that all cadets have only three minutes per station and no extra time between stations. Therefore, although the test may seem more difficult to some cadets, this increased officer supervision results in a more uniform, standardized, and accurate test which is fair to all concerned.

The Fall Semester of 1980 began with the Class of 1981 taking functional command of the Cadet Wing. The Cadet chain-of-command was led by the Cadet Wing Commander, C/Col. Ted Knowles, and his Wing Staff. All were hard working idealists. Their strongest attribute, however, was their ability to work well together. This developed a relaxed environment that helped them stick together in representing the Cadet Wing to the officer leadership. Their individual personalities made them a staff that will truly be remembered.

Major Timothy J. Collins Activities Sgt. David S. Fadok Operations Sgt. Training Sgt. Darryl A. Williams Jeffrey N. Mullett Transportation Sgt. David B. Schapiro
The reins of Cadet Command were turned over to C/Col. Michelle Johnson in the Spring Semester of 1981. As thefirst female Cadet Wing Commander, C1C Johnson and her staff performed well while under the intense pressure and public spotlight brought about by her being the first woman to command the Wing. Amid numerous changes to cadet life, this Wing Staff helped to complete many transitions using a positive approach, which led to an increase in cadet morale. She and her staff will be remembered for their efforts in making this period of 1981 the best of any that has occurred for some years.

We also discovered that privileges were proportional to job performance, and inversely proportional to rank.
Our new secondclass turned out to be a real tight knit group, and one heck of an asset on the intramural field.
The thirdclass, who go by nick names we haven’t figured out yet, learned a valuable lesson from a

superior force when they introduced the concept of “Firstie abuse.”
After an unsuccessful attempt at reconstructing the Chapel, the doolies found that their efforts could be more positively concentrated in their PMT study guides.
The squadron lost its outstanding reputation with the Dean, but impressed the new man on campus, “Stanley Evil.” The end of the year found the Firsties sweating under the guillotine of brevit, and biting at the bit to enter the “real” Air Force, and perform their two inspections a week.

The Loose Deuce, Second Squadron, had a very eventful year. With new fourth and secondclassmen, this big influx of new faces brought with it a few new ideas, and the continuation of a lot of good old ones.
The second annual Gong Show, Superfowl parties, and strict training standards went hand in hand with new squadron wall paintings, a new CQ desk, and a new AOC, Jr. (Brian Phillip). Through it all, with

A highlight of the year was the first meeting with our new squadron sponsor, the 47th Flying Training Wing from Laughlin AFB, Texas. We look forward to our continued exchange with the members of the 47th and our continued production of fine officers.

Cerberus Three started the year under Craig Franklin’s, ’81, command. We welcomed in a new second class along with the traditional doolies in August. Fall semester was highlighted by our soccer team going to Wing finals in intramurals. Duty ran high with Janet Peterson ’81, Pat Saunders ’81, John Turack ’82, Eric Bjorn ’82, Greg Tate ’82, and Don Lindberg ’83, recognized by the squadron for outstanding performance.
As the Dark Ages closed in, Mark Ingram, ’81, took command in December. Swimming dominated the intramurals scene with the superb coaching of Eric Bjorn ’82. We had an eventful winter semester with Stan Eval, C squared, Recognition Training, one squadron party and numerous morning runs. Outstand

ing performers in the squadron were Bob Cayton ’81, Craig Butler ’81, Rick White ’82, Joe Dhillon ’82, Greg Tate ’82, Joe Stret ’82, Randy Leruth ’83, and Lou Caporicci ’83.
It was generally agreed upon by the upper three classes that Cerberus had a “good group of doolies.” ’84 lost six classmates to USAFA’s attrition not bad out of 41! They met the challenge of Recognition Training undaunted and no one will forget Deemer ’84, and Calls ’84, PTVOD for rifle manual training or Peterson’s ’84, dozen + prop and wings.
Brevit finally arrived in Cerberus in mid-April and Jeff Smith, ’82 took the command position. As the year closes, Cerberus bids farewell to ’81 and ’83 and anxiously begins planning for ’85’s arrival.

Fighting Four continues to uphold its own tradition of being the #1 squadron in the Wing. Fourth squadron’s success stems from spirit and hard work in intramurals and also the belief that it takes more than just one class to make a squadron successful.

Four is also the home of Dancing Bear, New Wave - Nogrady, Mental Ward, Eddie Munster and the big Red Rooster. With characters such as these how can Four not live up to its motto, “work hard and play hard.”

This suffering was soon overshadowed by the coming of football season. We had some great times sitting down in the “easy seats”

there was still an outside world, one that the Firsties would be going into in five short months. Winter intramurals produced a Wing Champ basketball team and several other strong finishes. SAC was good to us and flew us out to Travis on our sponsor trip and gave us a chance to sample San Francisco. The year ended when the Firsties threw their hats in the air May 27th and began a new adventure.

007 members had a shock awaiting them this academic year. First it was their new name. Second was the new motto of, “Live and Let Die,” as Form 10’s missiled in and out of the Maj’s office with the chant of soul dressing echoing down the hallowed halls of our blissful domain. After moods had mellowed, nothing could stop us.
From 40th, we brought marching up to 2nd in the Wing ( or was it 1st?) and we had to celebrate with a few squadron parties.
The doolies got into their own form of partying with their infamous 007 honey and feather nukes which left the upperclass sticky, blue, and pillowless. Others partied on their

Stan Eval came up and even with the big chief in our squadron (J. D.) we couldn’t quite fool them. All classes appeared to be pulling together and we formed a strong squadron. ’82, the new incoming upperclass, started the new year with a class meeting at the Trail Dust and then tried to qualify for their pilots’ licenses by flying back up to the Academy. Ten minutes is a quick flight and unfortunately only a few of us made it all of us read about it.
It was a fun and interesting year and it goes without saying, “Nobody does it betta!” SEAGRAMS LIVES!!!

We Eagles started the year with a trip to Barksdale AFB, LA for a fun-filled visit with the folks of the 2nd Bombardment Wing. Horse races, parties, and good food, all add to the memories we share. A warm, windy Fall night was the setting for the “eight-balling” of the planetarium, our crowning achievement for the early year.
Throughout the first semester, academics TRIED to interfere with our education, but we struggled through and finally had our Christmas party, exchanged gifts, and went home to our families. By the end of January we were back into the swing of school again, and we were definitely in need of a break. Upholding a squadron tradition, we decided to have a bake sale where we

sold cookies, cakes, and other “goodies.” Later, we all got together at the fieldhouse with plenty of food and drink to party and cheer the basketball team on to another victory.
Looking back on the year, it seems that maybe we should have had a few more parties, but we did alright. Some of us were lucky enough to live in the DMZ, but the doolies made sure that even the DMZ was a war zone on “100’s Night.” Hell Week gave the Firsties revenge on the doolies and was our last big happening of the year (besides Graduation!).
In summary, our year wasn’t a spectacular one, but we had a good time.

When Viking Nine started the academic year, the doolies were the only class who knew everything of the new AOC, Maj Faris. The rest of us were anxious to see just who was foolish enough to try to command a squadron that distinguished itself in two areas the previous year: parties and rebellions. So imagine our surprise when we met Maj William L. Faris, who not only seemed to lack the killer instinct we felt certain that SAC instilledin all of its personnel, but was also a man we simply couldn’t do battle with because he reminded us of a little brother half our age.
With the enthusiastic support of Mrs. Faris and the Vikings, he helped transfer an alien squadron area into a place we all were proud of. During the year there were many achievements and efforts we were

proud of, not to mention a few we were not too anxious to admit.
When CW recognized Maj Faris’ integrity and character by making him the Commandant’s Executive for Professional Ethics, Niners braced to “break in” another new AOC, our third in three years. But when Maj J. O. Johnson arrived, fresh from TAC duty in F-4’s and the A-10 “Wart Hog,” his aggressive leadership and strong pride in the squadron instead broke us in, giving us renewed spirit and motivation to make Viking Nine the best in the Wing. Like our Commandant, Maj Johnson loves a winner, and the Vikings aren’t about to let him down. We welcome Maj Johnson to his first tour at USAFA, confident that his leadership will help the Academy and us to become better than ever.

A parade of long black limos pulled up in front of the dilapidated second floor quad, the latest hideout of theinfamous Tiger gang and their “Boss” Smith and Don Vito Thompson.
Don Vito’s right-hand man, “Pal” Ronstadt, gave his report: “The hit on the library stairwell was a complete success. None of the participants could be identified by the authorities. Also, the exorcism of the Big Rig from the Southside has reopened that area for our operations.” A wild applause broke out.
“Pal” continued,“Bobo, Buck, and Mangrove have insured our control of the vater shafts. We all know the Mick got a bum rap from the judges. But no fear, he’ll come through like a champ in this next appeal. This concludes my report. So is there any new business?”
The room was a melee when the gang’s high placed informant, the enigmatic “Sue,” sent word that Police Chief Big Mac had caught some of Smith’s lieutenants in an illegal booze ring. Not only that, but he was on his way over with some questions. The Grey bosses knew that this meant it was time for them to leave. They hastily passed their power to the Red bosses and made for the exits somehow knowing they soon would miss the old Huzzah
On a more serious note, Tiger Ten has enjoyed a successful year. The hard work and dedication put into passing “Stan Eval” and taking 1st in Wing in academics has been rewarded by a Squadron Sponsor trip to the 21st TFW in Alaska along with several squadron parties. Farewell and good luck to the graduating Tigers of ’81.

At the center of USAFA, situated literally at the crossroads of the Cadet Wing, is Eleventh Squadron, home of the Rebels. We moved to our present location after last summer, just in time to take advantage of the new paint job and carpeting on the third floor.
The Rebels have a lot to be proud of, including some definite breaks with tradition. For example, whereas our predecessors have generally avoided serious romance like the Plague, our Firsties boast of seven engagements, a few more in

the making, and even two “disengagements.” In addition, no matter how hard we tried, we could not live up to our reputation as “Doolie Destroyers”; exactly one fourth classman left this year. The twosmokes are now tasked with turning them all into great third classmen and insuring a repeat of this year’s thrashing of the Stan-Eval team. Regardless, we will always maintain our cohesiveness and perpetuate our heritage, for we’re proud of what we are The Rebels!

Although most of this year was spent breaking in the new AOC, the Dozen managed to survive with its dubious reputation intact.
Under Bruce’s steady hand, J. D.’s steady pen, and the Maj’s steady eye, the squadron was very surprised to find itself in an unprecedented second place in academics after the first semester. Not about to let success stand in its way though, the squadron’s academics were back to normal by the end of the second semester.
Intramurals went well with the soccer team, the “Longbodies,” leading the way.

out militarily. Stellar performances on Standard Evaluation and group marching competition bear this out.
Remember how the third classmen tried to set the world (and the fourthclassmen) on fire? Naturally, some cadets tried to deviate from squadron standards of excellence but the Deadly Dreaded Demerit Clan was always there to whip them back into line.
In keeping with the Dozen tradition, the squadron parties ended with virtually 100% casualties.
All in all, it was a pretty good year and a pretty memorable one.

Totally Ruthless BullDAWGS! There was something about that name that made you proud to be a member of the squadron. Starting with the fourthclassmen, the BullPups, on up, everyone knew the Dawgs were a select few.
Those select few will always be remembered by nicknames such as: Birdlegs, Shah,Clone, Judog, Rodent, Chuckles, and Silk.
Traditions such as tough training, Alcove, the kashmir shuffle, the 1000’s Days War, and the Spring Dining-In will always help to pull the squadron together to get over the “tough” times. But still there were unanswered questions as the

year pulled to a close: Did ’81 really have an Informal Dining-In at the Horseshoe table? What about our First Lady, Wafflehead? What really happened on lOOths Night? And of course is the AOC called Chevy by his wife also? Who can forget all the improvements that made the “Squadron area” more like a “home?”
But even with all the good memories we can’t forget the bad ones. Things like the Lesson 10 GRs, all-nighters, the Hostage crisis, and the disastrous winter intramural season all helped pull us together and make the “Dawgs” a cut above the rest, ready to go out and make the Air Force a cut abovealso!

In compliance with War Eagle tradition, times in the Big 1-5 were “a bit rough” once again. We were well represented in the ranks of Academic Probation. We failed to capture Squadron of the Month, and we, to date, have not managed to find an intramural wing champ.
However, these occurrences are simply minor set backs which will make our inevitable triumph all the sweeter. Highlighting this year were Dan Wyman’s incredible 4.0 CUM GPA and acceptance to medical school. Gary Chadwick achieved national ranking as a Falcon wrestier.

In the squadron many of us compiled perfect attendance records in the “M*A*S*H Appreciation 101” correspondence course, which met twice daily. General Hospital and the Guiding Light also developed significant cult followings. The ’80-’81 season also witnessed the entrance and exit of our AOC, Capt. Silvester. He will be a TAC at West Point beginning with Beast Barracks in June. We will all miss him and Mrs. Silvester, an outstanding cook and gracious hostess.

Have you ever seen a chickenhawk? I mean, really Just what is a chickenhawk? When one hears “chickenhawk,” one thinks of Saturday morning cartoons foghorn legghorn and copey dawg protecting the roosts!
In all reality, however, it takes more than an overgrown rooster and a dim-witted dog to deter a chickenhawk. This bird of prey is known for its swifty efficient attacks and its lightening speed. At the same time however, the chickenhawk is considered a good-natured creature one that enjoys spending much of its time just cruising the sun-soaked open skies.
These two instances serve as suitable analogies of the Chickenhawks of cadet squadron 16. Under the guiding hand of their new AOC,

Squadron 16
Major Don Westbrook, the Chickenhawks set out to swiftly and efficiently attack the new year. High standards were maintained in all areas, all year long (the squadron passed stan-eval with an outstanding 20/23 score).
Hawks participated in intercollegiate football, baseball, wrestling, track, fencing, and lacrosse. Notable Hawk intramural teams included the squash, football, rugby, and wrestling squads. Many Hawks ran the Denver marathon for “fun” (confirming that the chickenhawk is not a creature known for its excessive brightness.)
Alas, we bid farewell, as the Hawks of ’81 set out to “cruise the sun-soaked skies.” Good luck, God speed, and above all, have fun (good natured, of course!).

Stalag 17 has traditionally been a quiet and mellow squadron yet has many achievements to boast about. Although the squadron did not go to Washington, Stalag continued to march well and uphold the reputation it earned in winning the 1979-1980 Military Proficiency Award. In the year of STAN EVAL, Stalag passed the first time through with flying colors. Rebounding from a low in academics, Stalag finished the year very strong and produced a Rhoades Scholar, C1C Bill McLendon. Intramurals continued to be a nemesis for Stalag but they held their own once again.
Along with hard work, Stalag also had fun. The squadron par

ticipated in Operation Christmas and also had a strong relationship with their sponsors, the 347th Tactical Fighter Wing. Each unit exchanged visits and are looking forward to doing so next year. Stalag also visited Farish for the first time in ages and held a large ski weekend at Steamboat Springs during February. What squadron wouldn’t be complete without its share of parties and dining outs? Stalag was no exception.
With two strong returning classes and a newly “broken-in” AOC, Stalag will be looking towards bigger and better things in the future.

The doolies contributed greatly in preparation for open ended SAMIs and Firstie’s rooms on lOOths Night, however, their lack of athletic prowess contributed greatly to our outstanding 37th place intramural ranking.
The squadron environment was enhanced with the addition of Midshipman Krug whose brain lacked normal ballast. Grades plummeted as the foosball and TV rooms replaced AC Call. The leaky roof in the south hall provided exclusive beach front property and indoor aquatic sports enjoyed by all. But,
the year was not a loss as the Horney Foot Stomp survived repeated brutal attacks of extermination by Group.
We appreciated the hospitality shown by our squadron sponsors at Dyess AFB and attempted to return the kind gesture upon their visit to the Academy. Although we didn’t sparkle in all endeavors, the year had to be considered a success as we worked, learned, and grew together.
As the year ends we bid a sad farewell to our fine AOC. His integrity and fine leadership were an inspiration to us all.

No one can say it was a dull year. The l°s welcomed the new crew aboard with open arms and drawn sabers. The 2°s wandered aimlessly before they discovered their true military nature. The 3°s

played hard and complained and the 4°s just worked.
The squadron again excelled on the intramural field, while lagging behind on the Dean’s turf. One academic distinction we did hold was never being late to 5th period class.
In sum, for a squadron whose upper echelon was better known as the Firefall Six, we didn’t stray too far from the austere traditions of Playboy and Road Dogs. Dag gummit, it’s little wonder that ’81 had more talent in it than ’80!

As summer programs ended, the Trolls rolled into the long haul for Christmas with hearty appetites for academics, intramurals, and military training.
’84 came sliding in against the walls, wondering who in the world were all of these new cadets. We were new to them and they were new to us. For the thirdclassmen it was relief to see the new doolies.
Once again policy from above, the 3° shuffle, made its path down the road of red tape and was being implemented this year for the first time. The Tough-Twenty accepted their new members with a willingness to conquer our objectives and excel in the Wing!

making flanking encroachments at his desk. Some believed he would often combat them with motivation from quotes. Our bulletin boards can be described as most entertaining. However, “Patriotism cannot be minimized,” right Trolls?
In the fall we enjoyed the leadership of John, “No-Neck” Casey and later Ron, “is she really that young” Sincavage for the winter.
Although intramurals and academics seemed to be rolling down rather than up, we learned a lot about ourselves and tried to be good soldiers. We even managed to get two glorious paid vacations to Kirtland AFB, NM.
Good luck in the future Trolls, especially those in ’81. We’ll miss ya.

Some things were different with the Tarantulas this year: The AOC, Maj Bill Dalecky, a ’69 grad and F-4 jock; our new sponsors, the “Boneheads,” at Tyndall; the classes of ’82 and ’84; the French cadet, Patrique Brame; the down-and-up of academies, finally moving into the top 15 in the Wing; Firstie decorum finals; and the unusual course of intramurals starting off slow, but building through a strong winter to a magnificent climax in spring, sweeping intramurals three times in the spring alone.
Yet some things remained the same. The Class of 81 kept alive the Tarantula tradition of late-night card games and seems to have started a new tradition of handwalking in the halls.

lowed by Jose Salinas in the second go-round. Both of them put forth a great deal of effort to help the Tarantulas attain excellence.
And there’s that award with many names, and Erm, won by such outstanding feats as leaving flashers on all night, right-facing with 4th group, fixing a car estereo with a flip of a switch, trying to march over Blackjack in parade practice, putting 3 socks on the same foot, and swirling Gore-guess’ glasses. Sadly, we may have to retire it this year because our spring squadron commander won it so often.
The Tarantulas’ this year kept their own special character and flavor in the squadron, and the Tarantula’s will surely carry on these traditions for many years to come.

You have to be up mighty early to beat a Barnstormer. This year the Barnstormers set out to set the minimum standard way above the minimum standard and the result hasbeen a highly motivated outfit striving to maintain a high level of professionalism along with a high level of morale. In October the Barnstormers put their performance on display for the Stan-Eval ORI team, and became the first squadron in the Wing to pass. As the year drew to a close Barnstormers still held the position at the top, with the highest ORI score in the Wing on an inspection stressing cadet leadership and job performance. But the Barnstormin’ 23 emphasis has been on producing better officers not better numbers. If you’re doing the job the numbers take care of themselves.

But it hasn’t been all work and no play. The squadron that plays together stays together. We kicked off the year with a couple of “Casino Nights” at the home of Maj. Gary L. Shimer, Barnstormin’ 23 AOC. In the spring the squadron made its annual pilgrimage to Farish Memorial to recharge the mental batteries with some good outdoor cooking, some Rampart Range hiking, and some excellent sunbathing.
One of the major highlights of the year was the biannual visit to Travis AFB, CA, CS-23’s sponsor unit on the West Coast.
The year concluded with the traditional Firstie/two-degree roast, held at the Raintree Inn.
You have to be up mighty early to beat a Barnstormer because the Barnstormer’s have set out to build a reputation based on unit pride.

Our Firsties were like all the ones before them, ready to graduate. The secondclass was ready to take charge. The thirdclass wanted to be upperclassmen, and the fourthclass just existed. Finals came and Form 10’s were written for late assignments, but the MASH-club lived on.
We might not be first in Wing, but when it comes to motivation, dedication and quality people, 24 has it all and a little bit more.

CS-25 was a new squadron this year with two new classes and a new AOC with new “idears” and an infatuation with peanuts. New athletic prowess also reigned supreme as we swept intramurals three times and claimed the Wing Champ Swimming Team. The soap opera (AMC and GH) and MASH congregations didn’t help make us Squadron of the Month two times running and they didn’t contribute to our two additions to the Wing’s Outstanding Cadre, but Capt Spirit with his pick-and-fling, chicken walk, gallery applause, and under the chestnut tree, did generate the spirit to help us reach those plateaus.
We did hit one minor roadblock when we failed the ORI. Maybe the

Squadron Commander knew something when he went TDY just before Stan Eval visited. Of course it was nothing to worry about, the failure that is, since we all like getting walked on by an elephant. Just don’t call the folks at one in the morning.
Our weight loss program didn’t take any weight out of our nuke missions as Second Group found no way to defend against our night attacks. It must have been those late nights that kept the lower three classes from ever beating the Firsties in any athletic endeavor. And thanks to the doolies for giving the Training Officer his first “really close shave.”
Oh Yeah, one more thing, “Get those chariots outta here.”

Using nightly PFT and aerobic workouts, we were an overwhelming first in the combined PFT and aerobic’s run rating. The Thunderbirds also really kicked in for intramurals and we greatly improved our record over previous years. Not only have we done well physically, but the squadron has shone in Academics and placed first

The Thunderbirds’ nest has undergone a major face lift this year, with everyone helping out. By saving coke cans and hangers, we were able to earn enough money to completely remodel the SAR. Then, after an excellent casino night, enough money was raised to decorate the study room with Garfield and his friends.
Overall, the T-birds have made the Wing stand up and take notice of one of the best squadrons going.

The ’80-’81 academic year saw a dramatic change in the 28th Cadet Squadron. During the transition period when emphasis was on professionalism, the squadron took on a new name, “Blackbirds.” With Capt Cafiero as our AOC, we overcame such obstacles as dust on the ceiling, documentation, threehour SAMIs and the feared Stan Eval inquisition.
This year could be described as one filled with changes the “new” training program, 0705 meetings, regulation tests, the “FCIF” and many more. But nothing could keep 28’s spirits down; remember the commando-style raid on the X-4?
And how about the B-Ball game?
Even the squadron “GI” party was fun (hamburgers and everything!)— it even got us out of a SAMI so we could spend the weekend at Farrish, ice-skating and stuffing ourselves with barbequed chicken. Our trip to
Mather, with T-37 rides and side trip to Lake Tahoe was a blast!
This was the year the squadron bought the ping-pong table, designated a “Brain Cage” for those who put their minds above their bodies and a weight room for those who put their bodies above their brains! Spring intramurals saw the best results of the year with team handball and water polo leading the way.
As the year ends and as the Class of 1982 begins its transition into the key leadership positions, we have re-initiated the Magpie back into the squadron this time with a new meaning and purpose. We can honestly, and deservedly say to all who pass through the halls of 28th, “Best of Luck” and “Proud to be a Magpie!”

The Black Panthers of 29 began their fantastic year by acquiring a new AOC and 2 new classes. The Panthers began their ascent to the top with class and squadron parties, and a class baseball tournament. Working hard together, the Panthers, by the spring of 1981 were second in academics and first in intramurals. They received their second consecutive Wing championship in cross country in the fall, along with a stunning wrestling victory in the winter. Boxing also did well, with Ricky Graham going on to win his second Wing Open boxing title, and on to win nationals.

On the military side, the doolies and 3°’s received top scores on their PCEs. In February, the Panthers amazed the Wing Stan Eval team by passing with flying colors. By mid-April, the Panthers were breathing down 4th squadron’s neck for the outstanding squadron of the year. The Panthers will begin next year by having a new AOCand 2 new classes once again. This has certainly been a very successful year for the Black Panthers by any standard, and next year will be even better!

As the Knights of Thirt returned from summer 1980 there were many new faces and a desire to place 30 first in Wing competition. With Maj Jack Lefforge as AOC and Duane Dick as squadron commander, we set high goals in academics, athletics, and military training.
Our first goal realized was a Wing Championship in intramural tackle football and then the selection as the top marching squadron that would represent the Academy at President Reagan’s Inaugural Parade. Between the first day of school and Washington D.C., we placed first in both fall parades, and dominated

As the military positions changed, Rick Martin took over as squadron commander for the spring semester and we continued our trend of success. We may not attain all of our goals but the effort has made all of us better people and 30 the squadron to beat. The Squadron will miss Maj Lefforge as he leaves the Academy for Germany and F-4’s, and the squadron will never be the same without the J.C.’s, John Boy’s, Bone’s, and cheese’s. But, “82” is ready to command and 30 will stay in its rightful position first!

The Grim Reapers of 1980-81 are proud to admit that they were true to their squadron heritage and work ethic of working hard, performing well, and partying harder.
The easiest going and best squadron in the Wing, known by most as the “mellowist,” consistently surprised all by rising to any occasion when it counted. The Reapers took three firsts and two seconds in 4th Group’s monthly squadron competition. With the excellent supervision of our new “Nav” AOC, Capt Ray, Reaper seniors influenced and showed 31 the way it should and would be a successful year to the top without SAMI’s and with more parties, including Friday nights.

Pease AFB, New Hampshire was a highlight that started the year off right. We highlighted the rest of the year surprising ourselves; the reaping athletes of 31 brought intramurals to the 600 club or better all three intramural seasons, something not done since at least 1977.
And, of course, the unforgettable high points were the good times with the best squadron participants in the Wing the 0300 hospitality checks at two of our outstanding participants homes’, Major Reitzell’s and Colonel WolFs.
31 is grateful to all that made 31 best. A little hard work, a little luck, support, and the special friendships that have developed helped 31 to be what it is the finest, mellow, successful. “Do it 31.”

It was the year 1980-1981. The upper three classes returned from summer frolic to the cruel, grey world of academics and the alltoo-familiar routine. They were met by 1984, a group with a lean and hungry look.
How long was it before things got “back to normal?” ’81 became an all-male class in 32. Element leaders agonized over Form 76’s (not Forms 76) as did both the 3 and 4°s. Stan Eval hit like a white tornado. A new Commander-in-Chief and a new Comm. The boomerang wings went on sale. The hostages came back. Our grades, on the whole, went down from previous years; in the balance, intramurals improved. It was a warm winter. We got a 100-page LOI

Our social life included a sponsor trip to McClellan AFB and an enjoyable beer ballgame. Hundreds night destroyed every ’81 room in the squadron. In short, nothing is as constant as change; everything does change, and yet nothing ever seems to change.
We got mad, everybody does, but we always pulled together. And, when it is all said and done, it is pooled strength amid mutual suffering that got us through. A sense of humor at the strangest of times; a kind word when you needed it. You can’t see it, but you know it’s there and it is no accident.

If the word “unpredictable” could be used to describe a single squadron in the Cadet Wing, it would have to be the Cellar Ratz of 33. This year, the squadron got off to a dynamic start that left many in awe. In the three graded parades of the fall semester, the Ratz finished in the top three of the Wing each time. However, to the delight of other squadrons who were vying for a place at the Presidents’ Inauguration, noon meal marching slowly eroded this commanding position as the vice-like grip of the Dean took hold.
Soon, to outsiders it appeared that things were too quiet on the second floor of Sijan. But silence should not be mistaken for inactivi
ty, for the Ratz were feverishly engaged in squadron improvement projects and intensive preparation for the ultimate test: Standard Evaluation. At the precise moment, 33rd Squadron rose to the occasion and demonstrated that it could not be discounted, entirely. The squadron came to within a decimal point of maxing this test and, since then, has been on the upswing.
Brevit staff has succeeded in putting new fire into the veins of the Cellar Ratz, especially with regards to intramurals. In this area, all four classes are working together to run in the best team records we have seen all year. Once again, the Cellar Ratz of 33 are on the move.

Although many have tried, no one has been able to convince the Hogs that you can’t have fun at a military Academy. In the true squadron tradition, the hard work of academics which kept 34 high in the Wing was tempered with equally vigorous parties and dining-outs.
When the two rookie classes of ’82 and ’84 came together with the old hands in ’81 and ’83, a breed of unity and togetherness resulted that let the squadron pull through some tough spots. When the Stan Eval team came through in April, the inspectors could find nothing wrong

From the fateful day we all step off the bus and confront our first cadet to the time we loft our hats into the Colorado sky, we learn to change and adjust to this institution.
For the members of 35th Squadron, 1980-81 was a year of instruction in day-to-day survival. While having the same AOC lent some continuity, early morning marching practices and Saturday afternoon SAMI’s made us unique among the rest of the Wing. The new juniors and freshmen were easily assimilated into the ranks, but this wasn’t reflected in noon meal marching results.
Although we were never Squadron of the Month, we never slacked off, were always up by 0705 and passed Stan Eval. Like those first

We hope that 81 looks back on the Form 76’s and element leader notebooks as preparation for the “real” Air Force and just remember guys:
May the runway rise to meet you,
May your landings be into the wind,
May the rain fall soft upon your silos,
And the sunshine warm upon your ranges, And until you return again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

yahoos could do anything right, they pulled together to pass standard evaluation and finished higher in the group than they had in eons.
Conventional they’re not, but they are one of the most spirited squadrons at the Academy. They showed this by nuking the Army Base at Fort Carson before the Army game and by winning two kegs of “spirit” over the course of the year.
Peter Sellers may have died this past year, but the legend he helped create and the Pink Panthers of the 36th cadet squadron continue on. “And that’s what I’m talkin’ about.”

Things took a turn in 37 this year, but we haven’t figured out which way yet. Once we got used to “Documentation” things started going smoothly nevertheless, we still cleaned behind our laundry “bins” for the ORI.
As always, the Hardbodies proved they could party with the best of them (and we only got one stomach pumped in the process).
Squadron spirit hit new highs this year; we got 37th in the Wing in
academics, and we all participated in the Junior Officers Club run. Kermit the para-frog got his jump wings this year, successfully completing five jumps.
After Maj Forepaugh left, we got a new AOC, Capt. Ray Longi.
Among the more pleasant surprises was the rise of our intramural teams during second go, definitely a first for the Skyraiders of 37. The future looks bright. HOOYAH!

The All-Stars showed outstanding performance in academics. Athletic performances were also fabulous (probably due to the rewards of the coveted Filbert and Eatfood trophies). Although ’81, ’83 and Captain Drinkwater left, someone could still be heard asking, “Is there an All-Star in the house?”

There was never a dull moment in the “Jedi” squadron this past year. The Knights were able to pull it together in fine fashion and claim Squadron of the Month twice in Fourth Group. Under the direction of our new AOC, Maj Greenawalt (known as Yoda, the Jedi Master), the squadron became highly motivated and excelled in Fourth Group competition.
The highlight of the first go was the squadron sponsor trip to Hollowman AFB where several squadron members received an F-15 ride. The

second go was highlighted by an excellent squadron party held at the Woodmoor Barn. The party was attended by nearly everyone, and will not be forgotten for a long time to come. Because of a demand for seats in the T.V. room, Firsties pulled rank for seats for General Hospital and MASH. The Jedi Knights always worked hard when there was a job to be done, but played just as hard when the work was through. Here’s looking at you, Jedi! The Knights are on top to stay!

The annual 40th Squadron Dining In was very special because they were privileged to have Apollo 15 moon-walker Col. James Irwin as guest speaker. The year for 40 was marked with notable success which fortells a promising future for Fatima’s roomie Ali.

The Fall First Croup Staff, commanded by C/Col. Craig Butler was dedicated to the goal of "Commitment to Excellence." They motivated each of the Squadrons under their command to help achieve that goal. Total teamwork played a major part in the success of this staff.
Group Commander Craig A. Butler Dep. Commander John C. Jackson HI Executive Officer James R. Dodd Training Officer William B. Roy Ac/Ath Officer Gregory A. Beaves Sgt. Major John T. Lindgren IV
The Spring Semester saw C/Col. Mark Brennan and his staff take Command of First Group. While stressing the command structure, this staff continued its "Commitment to Excellence." Through positive, firm, professional and dedicated leadership traits, C1C Brennan and his staff will be remembered for many fine contributions to the Cadet Wing.

C/Col. Don Ford and his professional, dedicated staff motivated the squadrons of Second Group to excel in all areas. This task was made easier by the fact that each staff member was constantly striving for excellence. Each group would like to lead the Wing, and Second Group under C1C Ford and his capable staff, was a strong contender for that role during the Fall Semester.
Group Commander Donald A. Ford Dep. Commander Josie A. Ballato Executive Officer William C. Kass Training Officer Kelly L. Oberbillig Ac/Ath. Officer Sgt. Major Gregg Montijo Glen D. Montgomery Training Sgt. Michael H. Geczy Admin. Sgt. Mark E. Miller
C/Col. Pat Duffy assumed command of Second Group for the Spring Semester. He motivated and led his staff in a fashion that developed a team effort and spirit throughout all Squadrons in Second Group. These attitudes and cooperative spirits created high morale and were indicative of the effective leadership of C1C Duffey and his staff.

The Fall Semester Command of Third Group was placed in the capable hands of C/Col. Sue Malick. Her professional and self-assured staff met all the demands of their Commander to perfection. They made the "Doolie of the Week" competition a model program for the Wing. C1C Malick and her staff set an example that will be hard to match in the future.

C/Col. Dwayne Dick assumed Command of Third Group for the Spring Semester. He and his staff stressed teamwork, dedication, professionalism and coupled it with a sense ofhumor. These attributes contributed greatly in preparing the Class of 1982 to take command of Third Group. The Class of '82 will undoubtedly perform well because of the leadership displayed for them to emulate.

During Fall Semester 1980, Fourth Group was commanded by C/Col. Stephen Fienderson who motivated his staff with the living examples of "Do It Right" and positive leadership. This professional staff led the Wing in appearance and spirit. They were highly visible within the Group and Wing at large, and set a pace and example for others to follow.

C/Col. Jeffrey Stambaugh assumed command of Fourth Group for the Spring Semester of 1981. He and his highly capable staff set about insuring that high standards were maintained and enhanced. Their "Commitment to Excellence" kept Fourth Group in the limelight and highly respected throughout the Wing. C1C Stambaugh and his staff have left a legacy of professionalism and dedication that they and the Wing can be proud of.

To the lives of each come certain moments when all words and doubts and confusion fall away and we see clearly that we have reached an important pinnacle. In such moments we see how far we have come and how far we have yet to go. There is wonder and exhilaration. Without such moments how easily might we fail to recognize our own growth and progress, caught up in the eternal rat race down in the proverbial trenches. Only the hollow echo of a thousand clocks would mark the passage of time and our lives would be poor indeed.
Because such moments are the very staff of life which sustains us when the path seems too long, the hill too steep, the sacrifice too great, we must preserve and savor them. They are the bread and wine of human experience. These pages are dedicated to such moments we have experienced together as cadets. As officers and
citizens we will be strengthened by them. They bind us together, and set us apart from all others, for only those who come to the Academy, struggle, fall, rise, spit out the dirt and carry on until the job is finished may understand them.
In day to day life we often cannot see the forest through the trees. We cannot remember where we came from or when we began. We do not know where we are going or why. We are afraid. At other times we believe we have all the answers, but perhaps having the right answers is not as important as asking the right questions; not "why did I come?" but "Where shall I go?" In those rare moments when we truly see, we see clearly without prejudice or illusion. Having slipped the bonds of ignorance and self-doubt, we trust ourselves and step confidently forward into the future.

The American Eagle’s stance on the Great Seal of the United States symbolizes what our country’s great leaders have taught for two centuries: Seek peace from a position of strength.
President George Washington captured its meaning in his first message to Congress in
1789. “To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace’.’
Today, the United States Air Force F-15 Eagle is a manifestation of the Great Seal’s symbology. Strong enough to win, awesome enough to deter. By its very presence it is an expression of national will.

The USAF/FairchildA-10 helps strengthen NATO’s European defense.
There's no anti-tank weapon tike it in ground attack today.
It's lethal—with an advanced 30mm gun, air-to-ground missiles and a wide ordnance mix. It's built tough—to survive hard-nosed combat. It's highly maneuverable using low-level tactics to avoid enemy defenses. A- 10's are in service to protect our NATO allies. And they’re ready now to move out to trouble spots the world over.

WHERE THE SKY IS NOT THE LIMIT
Freedom, if it is to be preserved, demands unflagging commitment. This shining ideal tarnishes with any compromise of principies. Its very existence is jeopardized by any weakness in the ability to defend against aggression.
Fortunately, many free nations stand united in a pledge to preserve and protect their common heritage. Together they have the skills and prowess to repel an
assault. Even a surprise attack.
Just as border guards once stood watch and lighted signal fires of warning, radar eyes and computer brains today scan the heavens for any hint of surprise. And better than the border watch of old, these, electronic eyes and sensors never rest, never tire, never sleep.
Hughes takes pride in being recognized as a world leader in air defense systems. We will always
design and build the best that advanced technology can provide. For free people. Everywhere in the world.

We are proud to say
Founded in 1947, the Armed Forces Relief and Benefit Association has continuously provided low-cost group term life insurance and related benefits for the welfare and financial security of its Members and their families. More than $6 Billion of insurance protection is in force on these Members and more than $113 Million has been paid out in benefits during the Association’s history.
The more than 112,000 Members of AFRBA makes our Association the largest of its kind. Many of these Members are our strongest “boosters” and have introduced a large number of their associates to AFRBA so that other military families can enjoy the same low-cost group term life insurance benefits they have.
All of our insurance programs are available to Active Duty Officers and Senior Enlisted Personnel (E7-E9). Depending upon your age, these programs include up to $200,000 of Basic and Supplemental Life Insurance Coverages, plus Dependents Life Insurance for the entire family—all for the lowest net cost available today!
With AFRBA, your insurance protects you anywhere in the world. And, there is no war clause. In addition, you can continue your Membership and insurance protection under a special program after you retire or separate from the Service.
All insurance programs provided by the Armed Forces Relief and Benefit Association are underwritten by the John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company andthe State Mutual Life Assurance Company. Both are among America’s oldest and strongest Companies, with combined insurance in force in excess of $140 Billion.

The low-cost insurance plans available with AFRBA are an even better value because of the Association’s history of cash refunds. Although refunds cannot be guaranteed, the Armed Forces Relief and Benefit Association has paid refunds every year since its founding in 1947 34 consecutive years!
AFRBA Members frequently take the time to praise the personalized and prompt service provided by the dedicated Staff of the Association. This relatively small group of individuals are willing and able to provide you with the service you deserve when you join the AFRBA. As an example, the Emergency Death Benefit payment is forwarded to the beneficiary the same day the notice of Death is received by the Association.
Each year, the Armed Forces Relief and Benefit Association publishes an Annual Report for its Members which reflects the audited income, expenses and retained funds of the Association’s operations for the previous fiscal year. This Annual Report, in effect, verifies that the operations and financial management of the Association are in the best interests of the Members.
