PLA YING THE FIELD Saying farewell to what could be its most accomplished group of first-class cadets, the Falcons made the goodbye that much more special as an 11-1 win against Fresno State May 18 secured Air Force’s firstever regular season Mountain West Championship. Ben Weber was the catalyst for blowout win, as the sophomore matched his season high with 7.0 innings of one-run ball. Weber surrendered an RBI single in the 2nd, though the right-hander was responsible for 12 groundball outs and three double plays, effectively negating his six allowed hits. Weber also picked up three strikeouts. The win becomes Weber’s second in as many days, and the third start this season he’s reached the seven-

inning plateau. Charlie Jones has yet to slow down, producing three hits in four

at-bats, including a 7th-inning grand slam to create a 10-1 Air Force lead. Jones also doubled home two runs

in the 1st. His six RBIs gave him 25

RBls in the last 10 games.

Factoring in the grand slam, Jones has also slugged nine home runs in his last 10 games. Tripp Garrish, ended the game with an RBI double to initiate the 10-run mercy rule in the 7th. Garrish finished 2-3 with two runs scored, closing the weekend 6-8 (.750) with 4 RBIs. Walker Zapp’s 7th inning RBI double ignited Air Force’s seven-run 7th, as the Air Force catcher ended the day 1-2. Chase Spencer was 2-3 with an RBI single, as he floated a base-hit into shallow right field in the 3rd to bring in a run. Jay Thomason also managed a pair of hits in four atbats. Sam Kulasingam didn’t record a hit, though he was credited with a run batted in after a bases-loaded walk in the final inning. Zach Peters and Aerik Joe each managed hits as well. Air Force led 3-1 entering the

First Team Honors for AF Slugger

bottom of the 6th, though a lightning delay at the start of the half inning brought upon a delay of roughly an hour and a half. Upon the restart, Thomason opened the frame with a single, eventually advancing to third. Thomason raced home following a passed ball, extending the Falcons lead to 4-1. Weber remained in the game in

spite of the lengthy break in action, and allowed a leadoff single in the 7th. However, Weber induced his third double play of the day to erase the base-hit before ending the inning with a flyout. In the bottom of the 7th, the first five Falcons of the inning reached, as

Kulasingam’s RBI walk increased the lead to 6-1. Jones’ grand slam later jolted the lead to 10-1. With two outs and the bases empty, Peters’ single and Garrish’s double off of the right field wall were enough to force the 10-run mercy rule. The Falcons’ 18 conference wins Continued on page 322 ABOVE: Jay Thomason dives back into first base to avoid

being picked off. The senior thirdbaseman led the Falcons

batting .358, 21 home runs and 55 batted in. He also stole 14

bases in 15 attempts,

are tied for the most Mountain West victories since joining the league in

scored in conference games. He is the third-consecutive Air Force

2000, matching Air Force’s total set in 2021. Air Force clinched its third-

player to earn at least a share of Player of the Year honors, as Kulasingam had received outright recognition of the award the past two seasons. Thomason has now claimed First Team honors for three-consecutive seasons. Seungmin Shim becomes the third

consecutive Mountain West Tournament

berth, posting a 5040 (.556) conference record the past three seasons. The span of 2022-24 represents the most successful three-year span in Air Force’s 24-year Mountain West membership. Five Air Force players earned All-Conference placements. More impressively, the Falcons represented three of the Mountain West’s four individual honors, including Player of the Year, Pitcher of the Year, and Coach of the Year. Thomason was named Co-Player of the Year along with New Mexico’s Jake Holland, as the senior was among the most potent bats in conference play this spring. Thomason slashed

.385/.476/.795 in 30 Mountain West games, equating to a monstrous 1.271 OPS. Thomason’s 11 home runs in

MENT Petratis three-pointer tops New Mexico, gives AF rare victory in ‘The PiV In an up and down season that saw Air Force men’s basketball notch only nine wins overall and two in Mountain West Conference play, the team pulled off a huge 78.77 upset win on the road in one of the MWC most challenging arenas at New Mexico (21-7, 9-6 MW) in front of a crowd of 15,011 at the Pit.

Rytis Petraitis hit the game-winning three with seven seconds left in regulation to lift Air Force to its first win at The Pit since 2007. With the win, Air Force snapped a 13-game losing streak to the Lobos at The Pit. In a back-and-forth battle that featured nine lead changes, Air Force battled back late to take the win. An 11-0 run by New Mexico erased a six-point lead and had the Falcons trailing by five with 4:30 to play. Air Force quickly tied the game back up with a basket by Petraitis and a three by Ethan Taylor to make it 70-70 with 3:12

and four assists. Freshmen Luke Kearney and Wesley Celichowski also played impact minutes, with Kearny hitting a pair of three’s to go with eight points. Celichowski scored five points, making his first-career three as well. Becker and Taylor shared the team’s Bob Beckel Most Valuable Player honor. Becker ranked second on the team in scoring, averaging 13.8 points per game. He was Top 10 in several categories in the Mountain West, ranking third in three’s per game (2.4), and sixth in both field goal percentage (48.5) and total three’s made (74). Becker’s 74 three’s ranked 10th most in a season at Air Force. He scored a career-high 31 points in a win over William & Mary, earning Air Force Classic All-Tournament honors. Taylor also had a standout junior season, ranking third on the team in scoring, averaging 13.5 points per game. Taylor led the Mountain West in minutes per game (36.9) and three’s per game (2.77) and was second in total three’s (84) and three-point percentage (35.7). His 84 three’s are the second-most in a season in program history. Taylor was the Air Force Classic Tournament MVP, leading the Falcons to a 3-0 record and tournament title. Brown earned the Cliff Parsons Award for the member of the Falcon basketball team that gives his best every day, in every way. After playing in just 28 total minutes in 10 games across his freshman and sophomore seasons, Brown had a breakout junior season. He played in all 31 games and averaging 20 minutes per game. Brown was primarily a key scorer off the bench, averaging 5.1 points and 1.9 rebounds per game. Brown upped his game in conference play, averaging 5.9 points per game and 2.1 rebounds. Brown shot 56.9 percent from the field in MW play, setting a program record for highest field goal percentage in a conference

to play.

Jamal Mashburn Jr then followed with back-to-back baskets to put New Mexico up by four with under two minutes to play. The Falcons kept it close with another three by Taylor and a bucket by Byron Brown, sandwiched around a UNM bucket, to make it a one-point New Mexico lead with 58 seconds to play. Following a free throw that put the Lobos up two, Beau Becker was able to swing the ball to a wide open Petraitis, who calmly drilled the three from the top of the arc to give the Falcons the lead. Air Force was able to withstand a last second shot by New Mexico to pull out a rare win in Albuquerque. It was just the program’s fifth-ever win at The Pit. Air Force shot 52 percent of the day and committed just eight turnovers. Becker led five

Falcons in double-figures with 19 points and six rebounds. Petraitis scored 15 points to go with three rebounds. Kellan Boylan scored 10

BOXING 10 champions secure

regional team titles for Air Force men, women

IN THE RING Headlined by 10 individual champions, Air Force boxing swept the men’s and women’s team titles at the National Collegiate Boxing Association Western Regionals, which wrapped up March 9 in Reno, NV. It is the third-straight team title for the women and the 40th championship for the men, who have dominated the top spot of the regional standings over the last 43 years. The women captured a program-record seven regional titles, with senior Mack Lucas and

With the additional walkover victories from junior Peyton Glenn (139 pounds), senior Katie Bush (156 pounds) and sophomore Malaika Ndifang (165 pounds), the women accounted for individual

titles in seven of the eight weight divisions. On the men’s side, the Falcons posted a 5-3 record, enroute to their 40th team title. Senior Victor Benitez won his third-straight

heavyweight title by walkover, while classmate Jacob Mendoza won his second consecutive 175-pound title (and third overall after

winning the 185-pound belt as a sophomore) after forcing the referee to call his bout with Santa Clara’s Frank Tittinger in the opening

round. Junior Luke Kohout defended his 147-pound title with a decision over Utah’s Joshua Strong, while the sophomore duo of Carson Watkins and KJ Johnson earned their first regional titles with decisional wins. Watkins defeated Santa Clara’s Ethan Chung for the 119-pound title, while Johnson earned the 132-pound championship after claiming a split decision over Washington’s Justin Wong.

Although three Falcons lost their championship bouts at the Silver Legacy, they advanced to the NCBA Championships as regional finalists. Senior Leo Camacho suffered a 125-pound loss to Jordan King of USC, while classmates Angelo Ganac (185-pound retirement, Robert Zihuan Zhao) and Joe Wilson (195 pound split decision, Femi Chisom Okafor) both lost to opponents from

Washington. A third-straight title for Benitez, a repeat championship for junior Luke Kohout, and the first-ever title belts for sophomore Chinonye Mbanugo and senior Mack Lucas highlighted Championship Saturday for the Air Force boxing team, as it wrapped up competition at the National Collegiate Boxing Association Championships in Charlotte, NC, April 13. Benitez secured his third-straight-heavyweight title late in the second round of the night’s finale, as he connected on several hard hits to force the referee to stop his bout with Navy’s Lian McCarthy at the 0:10 mark. Kohout also defeated a competitor from Navy during the defense of his title, earning a majority decision over Nicholas Smith in the 147-pound championship. Mbanugo captured the Falcons’ first championships of the day and the first title belt for the women since 2017 during the 132-pound final, as she earned a unanimous decision over Navy’s Gabrielle Shultz. The women, who had just one national title prior to Mbanugo, gained its third in the next fight, as Lucas swept the judges’ decision in her 147-pound bout with Haley Shaw of Army West Point.

Finding a way in

SAN JOSE Down a goal to start the second half,

Air Force mustered a pair of scores over match’s final 45 minutes, including a one in the 87th minute to slide past San Jose State 2-1 on the road Oct 22.

Following a Spartans penalty kick score in the 34th minute, Peyton Ferrell produced the equalizer for the Falcons 25 minutes later. Air Force was rewarded for its constant pressure in front of goal, as a clever pass from Mia Otero set up Ferrell right in front of the net to tie the match at 1-1. The goal was Ferrell’s second of the season, while the assist gives Otero 14 points this season, leading the team. With the match tied late, Kendall Rippley supplied her first-career goal with just over three minutes left in the match to give the Falcons a 2-1 lead. Lauren Mirande was responsible for her first-career assist as a result of the goal. Air Force was able to ride out the remainder of the match to snap a fourmatch winless streak. The Falcons were relentless with possession for the entirety of the afternoon, producing 24 shots to tie their season-high. Conversely, Air Force allowed just five

shots on goal to 10 total attempts. Air Force entered the last match of the season in need of three points to keep

its hopes alive for a potential Mountain West Tournament berth. The Falcons

were unable to find a

goal in the second annual City for Champions Cup at Weidner Field, as the 0-0 draw with Colorado College effectively ends Air Force’s 2023 campaign. However, as a result of the tie, Air Force will retain the Cup for the secondconsecutive season. “I think, more than anything, I’m proud of

the fight that we showed,” head coach Laura Busby said. “We’ve done that all season.” Understanding the position that the Falcons were in, Coach Busby’s squad held a steady offensive attack for all 90 minutes. The Falcons heavily out-shot the Tigers 19-13 in total attempts, and 13-2 in shots on goal. The 13 saves were the most by a goalie in opposition to Air Force this season. “Even though it didn’t work out, their goalkeeper made some incredible saves, so credit to her,” Busby said. “It looked like we were knocking on the door and we were trying to put the ball in the back of the net.” The Falcons end the season 6-9-3 overall and 3-5-3 in the Mountain West. Air Force players were responsible for 53 points in 2023 as compared to 39 points in 2022, Coach Busby’s first season at the helm. “I think more than anything, we wanted to make it to playoffs this year,” Busby said.

“That is difficult for our seniors, they’ve been incredible for us. But I know the future is bright for our program.” Following the conclusion of the 2023 regular season, Air Force received three All-Mountain West selections including Mia Otero, Ava Carpentier, and Addie Doyle. Otero was named Second Team AllConference, as the junior led Air Force in goals (5), assists (4) and points (14). The midfielder totaled 992 minutes in 18 matches in 2023, sharing the team lead in shots with 43. Her 14 points this season were the most by an Air Force player since 2019. The distinction is Otero’s first such AllConference honor of her collegiate career. Carpentier was relied heavily throughout her freshman season, as the defender made 17 starts in 18 matches this season.

Accruing 1423 minutes, Carpentier helped stabilize an Air Force defense that allowed just 1.39 goals per game. Doyle burst on to the scene as an attacking threat for the Falcons, registering two goals and an assist. The freshman appeared in all 18 games, including eight starts. Doyle was responsible for an impressive .414 shot on goal percentage. Her five points this season were thirdmost by a Falcon in 2023. Athletic Media Relations -

Later in the night, Clark, as well as Ryan Mills, Ella Martin, and Abby Turner managed to post a 3:21.69 in the 400 freestyle relay. The previous school-record, a time of 3:22.63, had stood since 2014. The Falcons sixth-place finish in the race accounted for 48 team points. Mills also improved what was already a spot at sixth in the 100 Freestyle portion of the Air Force record book, going from 50.61 to 50.55 as the 400 freestyle relay lead.

with Trio of Top-Three Post-Season Finishes

Peyton Hall of WVU. Hall, a 2022 NCAA All-

American and three-time national qualifier, posted a technical fall over the Falcon, sending him to the fifth-place bout. In the fifth-place bout, Petrucelli met with UNI’s Jack Thomasen. Petrucelli put on a

clinic, scoring a decisive major decision win (14-2) while conceding no offensive points to the Panther. Petrucelli won three Big 12 tournament matches by major decision. Wolf took a 2-1 record from day one into the final day. He met with fifth-seeded Will Feldkamp of Iowa State in his first match. Feldkamp, a 2023 All-American, scored the first and last takedown; however, Wolfs takedown and nearfall handywork in between yielded an impressive 17-11 decision for the Falcon. Wolf moved on to the third-place bout where he met with South Dakota State’s Bennett Berge- the same Jackrabbit he bested in the quarterfinals, 4-1. Berge, nationally ranked three spots ahead of Wolf, was only able to muster escape points while Wolf tallied an escape and the match-

winning takedown soon after. Big 12 perenial juggernaut, Hendrickson entered day two with a 2-0 record by way of fall and major decision. He met with secondseeded and third nationally ranked Younger Bastida of Iowa State-both wrestlers undefeated headed into the championship. The heavyweight duo took the first period to find a rhythm and look for potential openings, ending the first three minutes scoreless. Hendrickson took the down position to start the second period,

mounting a speedy escape. Hendrickson snatched a single leg on Bastida but the hold went awry and Bastida put Hendrickson to his back for a takedown and an additional three nearfall points. Wyatt added another escape point before the expiration of the second period. By the final whistle, Wyatt scored a takedown and was awarded a stall point, but it wasn’t enough to chase the Cyclone down after a third period takedown. The match ended at 10-7 in favor of Bastida. Hendrickson became the first Falcon all-time to earn a Big 12 podium four times. He is the fifth all-time Falcon to become a four-time NCAA qualifier. At the NCAA Finals, the three falcons squared off against the best in the country. Wolf fell in his two bouts by a decision to David Key from Navy and a major decision to SDSU All-Americn Bennett Berge. Petrucelli went 3-2 on the Championship tournament, landing one position shy of AllAmerican. He caps his career with a stellar senior campaign highlighted by his second consecutive Big 12 podium and second NCAA Qualification. He tallied 59 career wins at USAFA and finalized his Air Force career with two Big 12 podiums, two NCAA

qualifications. Hendrickson claimed third place for the second time. One of Air Force’s most decorated wrestlers, Hendrickson concludes his career a two-time All-American, two-time Big 12 Champion, four-time NCAA qualifier, four-time Big 12 placer, and a total of 104 career wins.

(

Hendrickson went 5-1 on the tournament,

finishing third place for a second consecutive season. The heavyweight won three matches with bonus points, two by major decision of NCAA All-Americans. On the final day, Hendrickson met with a tough opponent in (9) Nick Feldman of Ohio State. Hendrickson dominated the Buckeye round after round, scoring a pair of takedowns in the first period and one in each period thereafter while only conceding escape points to Feldman. In the third period, it took Hendrickson about a

minute to tally the final takedown. With the addition of 2:21 of riding time, Hendrickson finalized the match by major decision, 14-5. Hendrickson moved on to the third-place bout against (6) Zach Elam of Missouri who he beat by 8-1 decision in the quarterfinals. He was equally as dominant in his thirdplace bout, scoring three takedowns and four nearfall points while conceding just two escapes to the All-American Elam. Hendrickson put up 11 points in the second period, putting a display of might on for the Falcon faithful. Hendrickson

sealed the deal on Elam by major decision, 14-2.

Hendrickson caps his stellar season with pins in Division I wrestling (16) for a third-straight season. Air Force finished with 21.5 team points, ranking 21st of 68 teams. The Falcons’ team finish is second best only to last a 25-2 record and the most

BASIC CADET TRAINING

NO THING BASIC ABOUT IT Cadre has six weeks to turn appointees into cadets fourth class Every cadet begins their Academy journey with Basic Cadet Training. The six-week program shapes and tests incoming appointees through a series of mental and physical challenges. For most appointees, BCT is their first military training experience; for others with prior enlisted experience or those who attended a preparatory school this is not their first rodeo. Despite the different walks of life each incoming cadet comes from, they are all connected by the same graduating class. The Class of 2027 began its journey on a warm summer day June 28, -

2023, with in-processing. I-Day brings out many emotions, ranging from excitement to fear. Smiles, tears, and cheers fill the air, as families and friends sendoff incoming basic cadets. Like the calm before the storm, incoming basics undergo administrative actions before taking

their Oath of Office. Training begins shortly after, as the cadre’s thunderous voices echo outside, directing basic cadets to the widely known “Bus Ride.”

“It was really hectic and there were a

lot of things all going on at once,” C4C

Avery Vigneault said. “It was a crazy introduction to a new place and definitely a change of pace.” The Footprints give basic cadets the “Shock and Awe” as cadre greet and make corrections the moment newcomers step off the bus. Basics go on to “move quickly” and “close the gap” as they walk up the Core Values Ramp to continue the chaos of 1-Day. Buzzcuts to buns, wearing a fresh set of OCP Continued on page 396

uniforms quickly transforms basics compared to just hours before. First BCT builds the foundation for cadets. Cadre train basics in drill and ceremony, military customs and courtesies, and various standards and expectations needing to be met. This phase of the training is designed to break and mold basics to adapt to their new environment. Second BCT is highlighted by the rigorous challenges basics face at Jacks Valley. With a fresh set of highly-motivated cadre, cadets march out to the field site and are greeted by an intimidating lineup of the course cadre. Basics face grueling physical and mental challenges such as the infamous Assault Course, tear gas chamber and Leadership Reaction Course. Jacks Valley gives cadets an introduction to the basics of Forward Expeditionary Skills, and tactical casualty combat care all the while building confidence in their

After the parade, upperclassmen place shoulder boards on the new four-degree class to symbolize they are ready to be accepted into the Cadet Wing. C3C Ryiel a

“The heritage tour was especially impactful because we have a chance to reflect on the history of those who came before us,” C2C Matthew Sharkey said. “They walked the same halls, lived in the same rooms, and lived lives which we seek to remember and emulate with our own.”

recognition/training ordeal

UNUSUALLY RECOGNIZABLE The culminating event for the four-degree class, which takes months of planning and coordination by upperclassmen, tests all

aspects of training and character in a single weekend. At the beginning of the week leading up to Recognition, excitement, fear and relief resonate within the Cadet Wing. While the freshman class rejoices as the countdown to

recognition ends,

upperclassmen also celebrate that they no longer wake up from morning minutes echoing in the hallways. “I was stressed out about all the unknowns of Recognition,” C4C Jenna Graham said. “But at the same time, I was

excited and anxious to finally go through it and join the Cadet Wing in the end.” But like grey clouds approaching Jacks Valley in the summer, the wing receives a gift from Mother Nature in the form of an AtHoc Weather Warning for blizzard conditions within the next 12 hours a day before the start of the biggest event of four-

THE DODO **

A Consise History ofthe DODO

1957 2024 -

n a very real way, the DODO, “A Cadet Publication for

Cadets,” has been an integral part of this institution for nearly 70 years. As the story goes, on May 16, 1957, J.M. Reeves, c/o ‘59, began what he believed would serve

as one of the

outstanding campus newspapers in the nation.

Instead, he ended up with the DODO. Poor guy. Back in those days, the DODO didn’t include much humor, and instead served

would come to adopt taking cues from the underground culture

that would come to define the spirit of the ‘60s. When Mike

Regnier, c/o ‘63, inherited the publication in September ‘61, he expanded on Pat’s example, working with renowned artist Mike

Ditmore to create some of the DODO’s first humorous covers,

the DODO made a comeback under the leadership of J.D. McBriety, who

eventually left these hallowed halls in 1971. Throughout the early and mid70s, the DODO remained lively, under the proud command of “Spooner,”

end, receipt of class ring with formal dinner, dance Perhaps the biggest highlight of the second-degree year is the day juniors get their Academy rings. With party shirts ready, mess dress out of storage and dresses picked out, cadets prepare to attend the annual Ring Dance held for the rising Firsties. “When I finally saw my ring for myself, I felt a wave of gratitude for how far I’ve come at the Academy,” C2C Paige Davis said. “Being surrounded by everyone that had gotten me to that point and sharing this milestone with them was the best part because I wouldn’t be here without them.” From fresh haircuts to doing braids, curls and makeup in friends’ rooms, cadets scramble to prepare for a night filled with joy and excitement as they start the last chapter of their cadet life. With a slight overcast looming overhead, cadets and their guests smile as they take pictures throughout the Air Gardens and Terrazzo,

braving cool winds before entering Mitchell Hall.

Tables lined beautifully with champagne glasses greet cadets and their dates as rings patiently wait inside boxes. The Class of 2025’s crest hides behind a veil before its reveal after a series of toasts. Ring boxes are handed out to their owners but not

opened until after a message from the class president and of course the Mitchell Hall dinner specialty steak and tortellini. The unique crest includes elements common to all Academy rings the North Star, an eagle, class year and class number expressed in Roman Numerals. The 2025 design features an F-16 paying homage to class exemplar Col William “Psycho” -

Andrews. As tradition holds, the ring is typically dropped in a glass of champagne before the owner wears it. “I felt like everything leading up to

that moment was worth it.” C2C David Kenney said. “We’re finally firsties now and graduation is just around the corner.” With rings now in their possession, cadets celebrate as they reach the end of their second-degree year. Smiles wide and rings to the camera, cadets take pictures throughout Mitchell Hall and the Air Garden to showcase their custom designs. Following the formal dinner, cadets remove mess dress coats to reveal party shirt designs or change into party dresses as they make their way to Arnold Hall for the ring dance. The theme for this year’s gala emulated the roaring 20s. With live music, an open dance floor, a feathered backdrop, endless alcohol, and yes, coveted raffled prizes, cadets danced the night away as they celebrated the end of their second-degree year and the start of their last year here.

‘I [STATE YOUR

NAMEy Cadets Swear Oath Before Family, Friends Pin On 2nd Lt Bars A cadet raises their right hand in the air simultaneously feeling, excitement,

anxiousness, and relief because they know, this is one of those moments for which they have been waiting. The moment they take that first step on a new journey, closing out their chapter as a cadet and beginning a new one as a commissioned officer. Commissioning ceremonies hold a special place for cadets as they choose the officer that leads them while reciting the Oath of Office. Cadets often choose mentors who inspire them, but there are also special moments when a family member commissions a graduate into the service. C1C Kaitlyn Katz follows in her father’s footsteps by attending the preparatory school, finishing the Academy, and now joining him in the Long Blue Line. “I was filled with deep emotions of pride,

patriotism, and humility. Knowing that my baby girl was commissioning as a second lieutenant... all grown up now and serving in the Air Force that I’ve loved my whole

life was incredible to witness,” Col Andrew Katz said. “I couldn’t believe my eyes... 1 fought hard to hold back the tears, but I was all teared up inside.” There are instances too where recent graduates come back to the Academy, returning sooner than they expected to commission friends. It’s an offer 2nd Lt Anthony Torres, Class of 2023, could not refuse so he flies halfway across the world to be a part of this special moment. “Knowing how meaningful and powerful the Oath is and administering it to one of my best friends, [C1CJ Audrey Hines, was such a surreal moment and an honor. There was no other feeling like it,” Lieutenant Torres said.

Once the graduate completes the Oath of Office, family members and friends go up and remove cadet rank in exchange for new second lieutenant epaulets. The feeling of finally having the bars on their shoulders, after years of hard work from training sessions, athletics, and “Astro” is indescribable for the graduates and their loved ones. Freshly commissioned and proudly wearing a new set of butter bars, the last thing to do for the lieutenant is to return their first salute. For this the officer

chooses an enlisted member who has had a significant impact impact on them. “It was a super exciting moment!” 2nd Lt Ashley Arbegast said. “I was honored to have my father who served in the Air Force be my first salute since he is the one who inspired me to join.” C3C Ryiel Crumrine -

uniform. On behalf of our Commander-inChief, President Joe Biden, and our entire nation, it is my honor to congratulate you on taking your place in the Long Blue Line.

(Applause.) Today today, you join the United States -

Joint Force, our sword and shield. Today, you join the ranks of the United States military, warriors who possess extraordinary skill, discipline, and dedication. Today, you join the greatest fighting force the world has ever seen. (Applause.) Next month, we mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day, that shining moment of Allied bravery and sacrifice made possible because of America’s air power. In the months leading up to the landings, it was our pilots, our planes, and our air crews that knocked the enemy from the

sky. It was America’s forces in the air that bombed train tracks and fuel depots to prevent Nazi reinforcements from reaching the front lines and helped defeat tyranny and fascism in Europe. Eighty years ago, over the beaches of Normandy, America won control of the skies, and we have kept it ever since. From air-to-air combat over the Korean

Peninsula to providing close air support in Vietnam, from our dominance in

Desert Storm and the Balkans to Iraq and Afghanistan, America’s record of air and space superiority has been unmatched

and unbroken. And today, around the world, our allies are in awe and our adversaries in fear of America’s dominance in the air.

GRADUATION where our air patrols deter Putin from

extanding [extending] and expanding his war of aggression. We see it in Ukraine, where our weapon deliveries and missile warnings help the

people of Ukraine defend their homes and homeland, their sovereignty and territorial integrity. We see it in the Indo-Pacific, where our presence ensures a free and open region.

We see it in space, where America’s

military watchful eye protects and supports our forces.

And we see it in the Middle East,

where, last month, when Iran launched an unprecedented attack on Israel, it was our air and space forces that mounted an

unprecedented defense along with our allies and partners. More than 300 drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles were fired at Israel. And thanks to our airmen and guardians, 99 percent of those threats did not hit their target.

Cadets

(applause)

as it has been for

generations, America’s national security and global stability depend on our strength in the sky and space. And as officers, our nation is counting on you to preserve and extend that strength, including, I will add,

through your ability to innovate. Since the days of Kitty Hawk, the United States has led the world in aerospace innovation: the first modern drone, the first GPS satellite, the first stealth aircraft. And you are uniquely positioned to carry on this legacy of innovation. Because, after

all, your generation grew up online. Technology that might be unfamiliar or intimidating maybe to some people on this stage; I don’t know but to previous is intuitive and even exciting generations -

to you.

Here at the Academy, it is you that built aircraft designed to neutralize drones, you who learned how to use AI to protect

military technology in space. And as a

point of personal pride, as Chair of the National Space Council, I was particularly proud to learn that, last November, you

designed, built, and launched your own satellite, FalconS-X -SAT-X. (Applause.) -

FalconSAT-X. And I am confident that as the nature of warfare changes, you will make sure that no one will ever match, must [much] less

exceed, America’s military power. As you innovate and shape our future,

be guided, then, by the foundational beliefs that have defined our nation for centuries.

Today, is not only a graduation; it is a commissioning. In a few moments, you will take an oath

and protect our democracy. This tradition goes back to the founding of our nation. And even in a world of continuous change, this oath well, it remains constant. And I am confident that both in and out of uniform, this oath and the ideals it represents will guide you in all that you do. Class of 2024 AUDIENCE: Roy! THE VICE PRESIDENT: I will conclude with this. As 4 degrees, as has been mentioned, you chose an exemplar to inspire and guide Major, excuse me, LeRoy Homer, Jr., a 1987 graduate of you: Mayor this academy and First Officer of United Flight 93 on September 11th, 2001 As has been said, Major Homer was a true American hero who gave his life to protect our country. And here today, as my honored guests, I’ve invited Major Homer’s

—

wife, Melodie, and daughter, Laurel, to join us. And, Melodie and Laurel, thank you for all your family has done to serve our nation.

(Applause.) So, looking out at these cadets, we know Major Homer’s vision and his spirit lives on. And, graduates, then, finally, I will say: Wherever you go from here, you are ready. You all are ready. You have the skills; you have the knowledge and the strength of character to meet any challenge. You are warriors. You have dedicated yourselves to the service of our

■

nation.

And America’s security relies on you. I know you will make our

country proud. And as your Vice President, it is my profound honor to congratulate you on this tremendous accomplishment and to soon address you as

graduates of the United States Air Force Academy. God bless you. And God bless the United States of America. Thank you.

(Applause.)
