"Lightning unthiri “This is the command post, lightning is within 5 nautical

miles of the cadet area, I say again...” A warning well known within the Cadet

Wing, “Lightning within 5” brings a pause to our schedules as we shelter indoors or walk under cover to avoid the risk of being hit. Lightning is a fascinating natural phenomenon and a catalyst for change. It brings to mind many of the unique characteristics of this past year, and how they’ve shown our growth as a wing and our ability to “improvise, adapt, and overcome” challenges that are thrown our way. It also ties nicely to the Class of 2023 cheer of “Thor” to honor our exemplar Lt Col Leo Thorsness. Dramatic changes have come at all four classes this year the firsties graduated, both 2-degrees and 3-degrees shuffled into new squadrons with mostly unfamiliar people, and the 4-degrees accomplished graduating BCT and transitioning into their new -

life at USAFA. The Academy can be a volatile place and we’re not

just talking about the weather. Finding ways to manage

change happens at squadron and individual levels also. These challenges are part of the curriculum which helps us grow into future leaders of the US Air and Space Forces. To the Classes of 2024, 2025 and 2026 may

Hunter Brown February 2001 January 2023 -

Hunter was more than just a friend to those at USAFA, he was family. Within minutes of meeting Hunter, those around him felt included, cared *

for, and loved. He never failed to put a smile on

someone’s face. He made

people feel at home. He helped people forget about the hard times even if it was just for a few minutes. For those who knew Hunter, they understood how much love he had to give. They

recoginzed his unselfishness and courage. Hunter was truly one of a kind. So, from the friends he left behind, all we have to say is thank you. Thank you for being our friend. Thank you for being our teammate. Thank you for being our classmate. Thank you for being our brother.

attending the NCAA meet and they finished ahead of Navy (T-50th, 2.5) and Army (T-56th, 0.5). “We will have eight returning starters next year so if we can stay healthy until the NCAA championships, there is no doubt that we will top this year’s performance yet again,” Hendrickson’s bronze finish earned him AllAmerican status. Other awards came for most falls in the season

year laying a foundation expected to sustain the team for many years to come. The

growth comes after decreased operations during the COVID-19 epidemic. “This year was a huge step in the right direction towards getting our name back out to the public,” C3C Heath McDonald said. “We had more exhibition drill

performances, and it was amazing to see the four degrees and the drill team rally around the Tulane Drill Invitational and revive the Sequence, a heritage exhibition piece. I joined to do drill and stayed for the people and this year, both worlds collided, and I could not be happier.” This foundation is primarily composed of the dedication and commitment the training staff gives to four

degrees, colloquially known as “team candidates,” who strive to become a part of the club. Four degree training is a fundamental part of the team’s history with the intent to instill the Honor Guard’s mission and heritage that will be built upon over the next three years.

Superintendent Lt Gen Richard Clark, and ultimately being the image by striving for perfection. Upper three teammates teach and perfect drill and ceremony performances to honor our fellow cadets, graduates, and service members. In February 2023, for the first time since before COVID-19, the team traveled to New Orleans, LA, to compete in the Tulane NROTC Mardi Gras Drill Meet,

showcasing solo exhibition routines by C2C Christian Pittman and C3C Heath McDonald, platoon regulation, platoon inspection, platoon exhibition, and a color guard

performance. The team brought hardware home for the first time since 2018, earning second place in platoon inspection. Drill team and color guard members went above and beyond expectations when marching in the Krewe of Tucks Parade in downtown New Orleans for Mardi Gras.

Traveling and competing is a readily accepted challenge that promotes synergy which inspires greatness and comraderies among teammates. Another highlight was multiple performances at

the Academy’s graduation

ceremony. The team annually

performs a cordon for the guest speaker by marching onto the field in two symmetrical lines at the beginning of the ceremony. This year the team had the pleasure of performing for President Joe Biden as he walked to the stage. The cordon is a synchronized event, showcasing teamwork and professionalism instilled in each class after they endured six to eight months of rigorous training. The graduation ceremony also featured the new 10-man drill performance, including two freshmen, C4C Justin Beaudreau and C4C Cody Beauchamp who demonstrated courage and dedication to the intricate performance. The successful completion of these performances throughout this year exemplifies the result of dedication of many individuals who work together toward the same mission. “While the team faces a lot of challenges, both physically and mentally, it was amazing this past year to see so much hard work pay off,” C2C James Christian said. “It was fun to travel with the team to march in parades in Denver and even New Orleans for Mardi Gras. Whatever someone did on the team or how involved

they were, everyone had so much passion about what they focused on whether it was

drill, ceremonies, or team candidate training.” C3C Serena Miller, USAFA Cadet Honor Guard -

Basic Cadet Training is a

demanding and challenging military program that serves the purpose of transforming civilians into warriors of

discipline, leadership and teamwork. The incoming Class of 2026 reported for Inprocessing Day June 23 at the Holaday Athletic Center. Thereafter, the basics sat on a

bus making the unforgettable trip to

the footprints. Six weeks of physical training,

knowledge, front leaning rests and becoming very familiar with their Contrails aims the trainees toward a commission in the Air Force or Space

Force. Immersion begins in Vandenberg

Hall during the first three weeks, or First Beast, to give an introduction to

customs, basic drill and time for physical acclimation. Once prepared, their

knowledge is field tested at Jacks Valley. This year’s freshmen experienced CONEX living facilities for most of their deployment, but they lived in Vietnamaged tents during the overnight FEST course. Additionally, the Class of 2026 is one of the few recently to participate in the tear gas chamber since the

COVID-19 pandemic arising in 2020. New experiences shared, lessons learned,

and teamwork throughout Basic Cadet

Training were all in preparation for the next four years and will be translated in

the long blue line, once commissioned. -

is for firstclassmen to dunk themselves in the shallow waters after

completing their last final exam before graduation. Photo by Gary Devore

Mix together long hours studying, a few energy drinks and sometimes all-nighters and the result is finals week. The final stretch

for first class cadets is charged with excitement as the fountain jump with friends is at the finish line. The quiet hallways of Fairchild Hall

radiate the Academy’s rigor and the Cadet Wing demonstrates all their knowledge and skills in order to “beat the Dean.” To fuel the brain, Mitchell Hall never fails to step up their

game during finals week. Due to the rise of cadets eating radioactive ramen and Red Bull to have more time to study, Mitches brings

supply of new drinks, snacks, and the infamous “Tendies and Mac.” It’s widely known for these reasons to bring a backpack to Mitches to stock up for the week. As seniors await their fountain jumps (except those lucky few with no finals), the Cadet Wing can also take 96 hours, which gives a four-day pass until reporting back to base. Many cadets go home, road trip, or spend time relaxing and recharging. But all are due back the following Monday to prepare for end of year activities like graduation.

great milestone toward

commissioning during each cadet’s two-degree year. The Class of 2024 held out its tradition May 26 and

received their customized class rings, which are tokens of achievement showing how

far they’ve come and where

they will go. This year, Ring Dance was held in Arnold Hall with a plentiful amount of food, drinks and music that filled the room with excitement for what is yet to come

in the final year at the

Academy. The class crest

plays tribute to their exemplar, Leroy Homer Jr, a heroic first officer on Flight 93 during 9/11, who flew a C-141. Alongside the center

C-141 are two F-15s that flew over the Class of 2024’s

Acceptance Day Parade to display the beginning of its Academy journey. Once the ring is placed on the cadet’s right ring finger, the crest is placed facing one’s heart. After graduation, tradition states the crest is then
