More Than A College

The 2025 Polaris theme, “More than a College,”

reflects on the numerous changes taking place at our Academy. I think all of us can attest to hearing the words “this is not a college” repeated at numerous all-calls. Yet, some familiar things that made this place “not a college” were called into question as unnecessary and not part of “good order and discipline.” Examinations of traditions and training led to some being

replaced. Standards were re-emphasized, especially personal appearance and correct wear of the uniform. It is in these times I believe many of us started to un-

derstand how our Academy distinguishes itself from typical colleges and universities. This is the reason we favored a classic cover design showing familiar icons which allude to what makes USAFA different. Saber, wings, compass and marble are timeless and recognizable symbols of our (mostly) fouryear journey here. The tail photo on the back points to Class of 2025 exemplar Col William F “Psycho” Andrews, an F-16 pilot and Gulf War hero.

The history behind these features is why this place is not called “Sijan Community College” or “Vandenberg Technical University.” The combination of USAF Academy-specific experiences, rigorous academics, and high moral standards set us apart. “More than a College” is meant to ground this year’s yearbook in what makes the Academy special and embrace that uniqueness. Too often, the Academy struggles with whether it should be the same as any other officer commissioning source, a regular college, or something distinct. Shouldn’t we divert from paths that make us like regular colleges and even other

commissioning sources, embracing our own distinct experience? I will never forget the grueling DDTs, standing in the hallway at attention for minutes, fighting our way through Recognition, and being a part of the many surviving traditions of the Long Blue Line. It is these unique experiences that make our Academy different, and they shape us into the leaders we need to become. -

Emily’s time with us was far too short, but the impact she made on our squadron and the Academy will endure for generations. She was a proud Killer Cobra, a devoted cadet, and a friend to all. We remember her for her unwavering positivity and steadfast dedication—not just in service to our nation, but in every task she embraced and every person she encountered. Emily was a fighter. She exemplified the warrior mindset

through her resilience and her constant effort to uplift others. She shared her passion and her faith with unparalleled strength and amazing grace. Though she is deeply missed, we know that she is good, and that her legacy lives on through her classmates, her family, and the enduring light of her faith. Cadet Squadron 14 -

CLEAN short of fourth consecutive PLATE conference tourney berth Air Force baseball (20-34,12-18) closed their season after falling late to UNLV

(3122,16-14), 9 8, in the series finale May 17. The Falcons collected 11 hits with a pair of doubles, a triple, and a homer while the pitchers totaled eight strikeouts. At the dish, Christian Taylor went i-for-3 with a two RBI double, while senior Chase Spencer notched a pair of RBIs off his seventh home run of the season.

Regional Team, and helped the Birds to their first ever Mountain West Regular Season Championship title in 2024.

The team was represented by a lone honoree on the Mountain West All-Conference Second Team by Peters as released by conference officials on Tuesday afternoon. “Zach has had a tremendous season and is well-deserving of being an all-conference player,” expressed the Falcons’ skipper, Mike Kazlausky. “What a great way to wrap up his Air Force Academy career and he will now take what he has learned on the friendly fields of strife to lead our Airmen as a second lieutenant.” Peters earned his first All-Mountain West accolade after completing the 2025 season at the top of the charts for Air Force. The CiC was a vital contributor to the Falcons’ lineup and picked up overall team bests in: batting average (.347), OPS (1.029), runs scored (54), hits (68), doubles (20), home runs (8), and slugging percentage (.602). When the season came to a close, Peters was on a 15-game hit streak and plated at least one run in the last six games of his career. Athletic Media Rela-

HONORS

Senior ends AF career with all-conference selection Senior guard Ethan Taylor was named to the 2025 All-Mountain West Men’s Basketball Team. Taylor was named to the third team.

The Houston, TX, native led Air Force scoring this season, averaging 13.6 points per game. He ranks first in the Mountain West with 91 three’s made and is 16th in the nation in minutes per game (34:31). His 91 three’s is second-most in a season at Air Force and his 54 three’s made in

MW play is a new school season record in

the MW era. In his second season as co-team captain, Taylor is the first player in program

history with 1,000 career points, 500 rebounds and 300 assists. He is also the school record-holder with 120 career starts. He is also the first player in program history to record a triple-double, doing so as a freshman in 2021. A Taylor assist against Fresno State

Feb. 22 led to a win in the Falcons’ most thrilling moment of the season as the

Falcons won in overtime, 72-69. Trailing 69-67 with under a minute in overtime, Taylor whipped a pass into the left corner to Luke Kearney, who connected on the three to put the Falcons ahead 70-69 with 34 seconds to play. Freshman Will Cooper led the Air Force with 21 points and sophomore Kearney hit the go-ahead three in overtime. On Fresno State’s final possession, Cooper blocked a Bulldog shot attempt and the Falcons got the dead ball rebound with 17 seconds to play. Air Force then got a huge bucket on the inbounds play, as Jeffrey Mills sent a pass over the Bulldog defense, to a wide open Taylor, who scored the layup to put the Falcons ahead by three with nine seconds to play. Fresno State missed a field goal with two seconds left and had a final attempt called off at time expired and Air Force snapped its 16-game losing streak. Cooper led three Falcons in double-figures with a career-high’s for points and three’s made with six. Kearney

MENS

added 19 points, with 16 coming after the first half. Kearny scored seven of Air Force’s 11 points in overtime, finishing with three made three’s and three assists. Mills was the third Falcon in double figures with 13 points. Mills hit three

three’s, adding four rebounds.

Taylor led the Falcons with eight rebounds and eight assists. Chase Beasley made his first start of the season for the Falcons, recording three points, four rebounds and four assists in 22 minutes. Fresno State, which was down to just seven available players for the game, had four players in double figures scoring. Air Force made 15 three’s on the day, one shy of its season high. The Falcons also had 20 assists, its most in a MW game this season. The Falcon bench outscored Fresno State’s 26-0. It was a contrast of styles in the firsthalf, as Fresno State went to the break with a 32-31 lead. The Bulldogs did its

damage inside, holding a 20-2 advantage in points in the paint. Air Force, meanwhile had nine made three’s, out of its 10 field goals, in the first half. In the second half, the game was a back-and-forth battle with no lead bigger than six points. Fresno State got up by four points early, before the Falcons would retake the lead. After several back-and-forth lead changes, the Falcons went up by sixth with 4:35 to play.

Fresno State closed out regulation on a

9-3 run to send the game to overtime. Air Force won three more times at

home while going winless on the road. The Falcons topped Jacksonville State, 73-67; Mercyhurst, 82-48; and Stony Brook, 69-61. Athletic Media Relations -

The Falcons hosted Utah Valley in the NIT March 21 in Clune Arena but fell to the Wolverines, 70-64, to close out the season. In the final game of her career, senior Madison Smith led all putting up 20 points (7-16 FG). Smith closes out her

Junior Milahnie Perry closed her junior season with 17 points, and sophomore Keelie O’Hollaren finished 4-6 from threepoint range, contributing 14 on the night. Senior point guard Jo Huntimer logged four points and three assists in her career finale, as Huntimer caps her career with the most assists in a season by a player in the Falcons’ DI history (150) and second-most for her career

(421).

Air Force led 23-12 to close the opening quarter, with Smith topping all scoring at 10 points while leading a 9-18 shooting quarter for the Falcons and 5-6 showing from three-point range. Five-straight for O’Hollaren on back-to-back baskets forced UVU

head coach Dan Nielsen into a timeout and started a 13-2 Falcon run to get the Falcons out to as much as a 13-point lead in the

quarter. Utah Valley dug in and flipped the script in the second, outscoring Air Force 29-11 as every Wolverine found a basket, matching the most points scored by a Falcon opponent in a single quarter this season.

In the final quarter, Perry willed the Falcons back into the game, scoring 12 of her evening’s points inside the final 10 minutes. A 5-0 Falcon start, lifted off by O’Hollaren’s fourth-straight

Hoopes dominates NCAA pommel competition again

GYMNASTIC

Patrick Hoopes added another chapter to

his legendary Air Force gymnastics career April 19 as he successfully defended his national title on the pommel horse during the final night of competition at the NCAA Men’s

Gymnastics Championships in Ann Arbor, MI. The senior, who became the Academy’s

POMMELING THE COMPETITION

first-ever NCAA champion last season, secured his second title in dominating fashion tonight at Crisler Center. Hoopes, who had to wait until the fifth rotation to compete, had watched the apparatus stifle several of his competitors but, when his name was called, he took control of the event and secured a !4-833 a score that bettered the event’s 37man field by nearly 0.400 points and accounted for the largest margin of victory in any of the six individual events. With the title, Hoopes captured NCAA All-America honors for the third-straight year and became just the third NCAA gymnast since 2010 to claim the pommel horse title in back-to-back years. Hoopes wasn’t the only Falcon to make a trip to the podium, as classmate Erich Upton capped his stellar collegiate career with All-America honors in the all-around. Com-

bining for a score of 79.531, Upton finished seventh in a field that included two Olympic medalists. Individually, he finished within the top half of the field on the parallel bars (13.600,14th) and floor exercise (13.560,15th), while scoring a 13.355 on the vault, a 13.300 on the still rings, a 12.933 on the high bar, and a 12.766 on the pommel horse. The podium finishes from Hoopes and Upton mark just the second time that Air Force has accounted for multiple All-Americans in the same championship meet (2016). Three other Falcons also competed in the national championships. Junior Jack Matlock finished within the top half of the field on the pommel horse following a I5th-place score of 13.466, while classmate Tai Gopaul tied for 23rd on the high bar (13.033) and fellow junior Denis Irimiea finished 33rd on the still rings

(12 733 ).

One week after defending his NCAA title on the

pommel horse, Hoopes captured his

second international medal of the year with

third-place performance on his signature event at the FIG Artistic Gymnastics Apparatus World Cup in Cairo, Egypt, April 27. Hoopes recorded the highest score of his three World Cup events during the finals, as he tallied a 14.700 (5.9 difficulty, 8.800 execution) to place third and join Armenia’s Hamlet Manukyan (14.800) and Italy’s Gabriele Targhetta (14.766) on the podium. Hoopes advanced to his third final in as many World Cup competitions after scoring a 14.666 to finish second out of 25 athletes during the qualifier. a

In his first season on the international

stage, Hoopes medaled in two of his three World Cup events, placing second at Baku and third at Cairo. In fact, he never finished lower than fourth in any round of World Cup competition (qualifications or finals) this spring. Five Falcons were named all-conference by the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation: Upton, floor, vault, parallel bars and all-around;

Sophomore named MW All-Around champion for second year In the week leading up to the 2025 Credit

Union 1 Mountain West Gymnastics Championship in San Jose, head coach Jennifer Green

of the Air Force Women’s Gymnastics team told her Falcons that she wanted them to walk the away from Saturday’s title meet “leaving of ounce forth tank on empty,” putting every effort they could muster in Air Force’s final meet of the 2025 season.

The Falcons may have finished the day in fourth place, but they took Coach Green’s directive to heart, leaving the MW Championship with a 195.150 finish, earning Air Force’s best team score since they broke the all-time record on Jan. 31 against SJSU at home

(195 775 ).

Sophomore Maggie Slife, the 2025 Mountain West Gymnast of the Year, added MW All-Around Champion and Co-Beam Champion honors to an already extensive list of awards, finishing as the top all around performer (39.250) while tying the top score on beam with San Jose State’s Madison Gustitus

(9 875). .

“We’re all thrilled for Maggie, the backto-back Mountain West AA Champion,” said Green. “It’s so fun to watch her perform calm and confidently.” Opening competition on bars, Air Force scored a 48.775 to match a season high. A pair of 9.800s for both Slife and MW Co-Freshman of the Year Alyssa Bigler led Falcon scores on the apparatus. Junior Gabriella Hartley followed up, finishing with a 9.750 to earn a season best.

On balance beam, Air Force scored a

48.950; Slife’s title-worthy 9.875 set a bar which would not be surpassed the remainder of the day, while freshman Anna Bacott’s third 9.800 or better of her inaugural season helped lead the way to the Falcons landing their best

finish on beam since Feb. 9. Moving over to floor, the Falcons earned a 48.675, topped by Slife’s 9.825, earning the three-time conference floor specialist of the week her isth-straight 9.800 or higher finish in the event.

Closing the day on vault, the Falcons earned a 48.775, as Bigler, the final Air Force competitor of the day, closed out Air Force’s

CAUTION ROADWORK Season’s lone win, tie earned during road trips Air Force men’s soccer did the best work on the road this season finding

their only two non-losses away. First was a 1-1 draw at Michigan State Sept. 6 and later they won 2-1 against Grand Canyon Oct. 10.

The Falcons rallied from behind to knock off Western Athletic Conference foe Grand Canyon at GCU Stadium. It was Air Force’s only win this season. Grand Canyon set the tone early with a strike the 16th minute. Air Force took five shots in each half with eight attempts taken on goal. Senior team captain and AF shots leader Carter Rizzo took three shots, all on target. The Falcons climbed out of a first half deficit behind the Sean Flynn and Ryan Daunt who scored their first collegiate goals to propel Air Force to victory. Flynn broke the Falcons’ month-long scoring drought with an unassisted goal in the 49th minute to ignite the team. Just 10 minutes after, Daunt claimed the lead and eventual game-winner for AF via assist from freshman Dane Baker who notched his first collegiate assist. Sophomore goalkeeper Will Collins recorded two saves on the night in his first collegiate win. Air Force’s defense was anchored Noah Higbie, and Andrew Durkin who clocked 90 minutes of action on the pitch. The Falcons’ tie against Michigan State was the team’s first positive result of the season. For the third time in the early season, the young Air Force team held a power conference team to a scoreless first half. The tenacity of the Air Force defense, anchored by Higbie and Brody Smith, set the tone for a long night for the Spartans. In his first collegiate start, freshman goalie Smith made two critical saves,

braced by a stout defense and midfield who helped keep the game even. Flynn stepped up in a big way as well making a save in a critical moment of the match.

Michigan State was the first to strike in the 60th minute but a mere 27 seconds later, Wunsch dished a brilliant through-the-legs assist to Ridge Owen who finished to the left side of the frame to equalize in the 60th minute. The goal marked the first of Owens’ collegiate career while Wunsch was credited with his second career assist, first of the season. With a breath of fresh air and a pulsing will to fight, the Falcons put the pressure on, controlling the attack in the waning phase of the match. Air Force, who had its best chances to score in the first five and last five minutes,

for a 1.000 shots on goal percentage. This is Johnson’s second distinction for the Mountain West, following her selection to the all-newcomer team as a freshman in 2021. This season, the defenseman was named the Mountain West Defensive Player of the Week (Sept. 9) for the first time in her career after her impressive performances against Montana and Northern Arizona. Dillingham was an integral part of the Falcon defense making 17 starts in 18 matches to compile 1,107 minutes with one assist

and four shots on the pitch. As a newcomer along the Falcon back line, Dillingham was extremely effective in one-on-one defensive duals and aerial challenges against opposing wingers. A pair of Falcons, Lauren Mirande and Chase Borntreger, were

selected to the 2024 College Sports Communicators Academic-All District Team as well. Mirande is a junior, majoring in Geospatial Sciences with a minor in Spanish. She earned the distinction for the second time in her career. This season, the midfielder logged 1,273 minutes on the pitch, recording one goal for two points and four shots on goal. Borntreger is a sophomore Political Science major and made her way onto the CSC Academic All-District Team for the first time. The sophomore played 885 minutes for Air Force, while tallying two goals and two assists for six points, 18 shots on goal,

and one game winner against California Baptist. As a team Air Force did its best work early in the season recording four wins and a tie in its first six games. The Falcons didn’t allow goal against Northern Colorado (4-0), California

Eleven wins this year for men’s tennis nearly doubled the previous season’s total of six. The Falcons were especially strong at home earning eight dual match victories here. One of them was especially memorable. Air Force upset #65 New Mexico 4-3 in a Mountain West home contest at the USAFA Indoor Tennis Courts April 5. It was the first win over the Lobos in 20 years, snapping a 25-match losing streak. It was also the first win over a ranked opponent since 2013. The Falcons took the doubles point and held

commanding 3-1 lead after winning two of the first three singles matches. New Mexico rallied back with two straight wins in singles to pull into a

a 3-3 tie.

Junior Jack Brown capped the match with a

win at No. 6 to secure the first-ever MW conference match win over UNM.

Brown came back

MAKING NOISE Tennis topples #2 seed in MWC

TEN IS

Women’s tennis delivered two dominant wins, including a 4-1 win over second-seeded Nevada, making for an exciting run through the Mountain West

Conference Tournament before falling to UNLV April 23-25 in Las Vegas. The victory over Nevada marks the seventh-seeded

Falcon’s highest-seeded postseason win since downing Fresno State in the 2016-17 MW quarterfinals. Air Force scored its eighth consecutive doubles

point and ninth in its last 10 matches to gain an early 1-0 advantage in the match. The Falcons picked up wins on lines one and two, snapping two-match win streaks for both Nevada pairs. All-Mountain West doubles pair Arianna Van Houweling/Nadia Kojonroj got out to a 3-0 advantage in their set before taking the final three games to close out in a 6-1 win. Court two’s Alexis Odom/Maya Michalski played out to a 4-3 lead and then closed out 6-3, improving to 13-5 on their seventh-straight doubles victory as a duo. Nevada managed to even the score on line one, as Odom fell to the Mountain West Player of the Year in two sets, but the Falcons were able to get back in front

of the tally as Kojonroj won 6-1, 6-2 against an opponent who defeated her April 6 match in Reno. Sofia Mavor and Van Houweling, both also squaring off in rematches of the Falcons’ previous tilt with Nevada, were able to secure victory where they had

previously fallen short. Mavor, who led in her first match this year against Maria-Costache but ended up with an unfinished result due to clinch, secured a 3-1 Falcon lead off of a 6-3, 6-3 win to snap her opponent’s three-match winning streak. Van Houweling secured the Air Force clinch on line two, earning a two-set win as well. One day prior, Air Force handled 10th seed New Mexico 4-0 in the opening round of the tourney. Odom/Michalski and freshmen Shivaani Selvan/ Mavor combined to take the doubles point. Kojonroj and Selvan won their singles matches 6-1, 6-1 and 6-1, 6-3 respectively. Odom clinched the shutout on line one in a tight 6-4, 7-5 match in only the third loss of the season for her All-MW opponent. Falcon doubles pairs Van Houweling/Kojonroj and Selvan/Mavor were named to MWC All-Tournament Team. Both duos were 5-1 in post-season play. Odom was an All-Mountain West singles honoree. The senior closed 2025 regular season competition with seven dual singles wins against conference opponents, all earned in three sets. Van Houweling and Kojonroj were a doubles selection.

Tanner once again takes discuss, hammer titles Junior Texas Tanner defended conference titles in discus and hammer throw leading Air Force at the 2025 Mountain West Outdoor Championships

May 17 -19 in Clovis, CA. Senior Joe Nizich, javelin, and the 4xioo-meter relay team of senior Javin Bostic, freshman Asher Jenkins, sophomore James Warmbrod and freshman Brayden Richards were also conference champions. The quartet of sprinters combined for a 40.14 finish, a 0.11-second victory, and the sixth conference title in program history. Tanner would have won the hammer event on day one with any of the four countable throws in his series (69.28m, 69.15m, 73.23m, 72.06m). His third attempt bettered the field by more than six meters and added more than two meters to a championship standard that had stood since 2003.

Fiaseu set freshman records in hitting and solo blocks

during the modern era (since 25-point scoring began in 2008). The Ewa Beach, HI, native became the first Air Force freshman to hit over .300 in a season

(minimum 200 attempts). She attacked at a .306 pace with 166 kills on 399 attempts, with just 44 errors. The first-year Falcon also posted a freshman record in solo blocks, with 11 single-handed rejections. In addition to those two records, Fiaseu tallied the second highest freshman marks in service aces (23), assisted blocks (78) and total blocks (89), while recording the third-best blocks-per-set average

(0.88). Classmate Mia Loyd of Terre Haute, IN, also entered the Air Force freshman top 5 in several events, including No. 3 in

service aces (22) to give the 2024 freshmen class two of the

three-best first-year servers of the USAFA modern era. Loyd, the Falcons’ starting setter, also ranked third in assists per set (4.89) and fourth in both assists (489) and digs (191). Fiaseu and Loyd also impacted the program’s overall standings, with Loyd finishing her first season ranked eighth in career assists in the modern era and Fiaseu’s 78 assisted blocks ranking in the single-season standings for both the modern era (ninth) and Division I (10th). Loyd was one of two Falcons to debut on the career assists’ list, as senior Elbe Eichhorn finished her career in 10th with 424 helpers. The freshman duo was also chosen to take part in the USA Volleyball Women’s National Team Open Program in February. Junior Jordan Suan, whose 353 digs was the seventh-highest single-season total of the modern era (eighth in Division I), now has 918 total digs for her career a tally that ranked fifth since 2008 and sixth since the program joined DI in 1996. Senior Ella Tschuor finished her career ranked among the program’s modern era top 10 in attempts (seventh, 2290), points (eighth, 891.5), kills (ninth, 750), hitting (ninth, .155). Despite missing most of the season, fellow senior Mac Russ finished her career ranked among Air Force’s Division I leaders in blocking fifth in assisted blocks (256), fifth in total blocks (302) and eighth in solo blocks (46).

Glazier, starting from bottom in the third period, escaped in eight seconds and scored his last takedown in the waning seconds of the period to seal the deal, 8-0. Burburija headed to the fifth-place match against second seed Joey Novak of Wyoming. Burburija entered the match with a previous loss to Novak in the quarterfinals, 4-3. Novak got to work early with a takedown at 2:20 and a ride out to the whistle. The Falcon took the bottom position and was unable to wrangle an escape point in the second period.

three weeks. First BCT serves as an introduction to military life. Basic cadets learn skills they will need throughout their time at the Academy. Basics quick-

ly learn how to march, make their bed, and prepare a room for inspections. This is also where the basics start learning knowledge from Contrails, a small book filled with quotes and information about the Air Force. Basic cadets spend the majority of Second BCT in

Jacks Valley. This presents various challenges for basics to complete, including the Assault Course, tear gas chamber, and Obstacle Course. They learn additional skills, including defending forward operating bases, Tactical Combat Casualty Care, and small unit tactics. “The assault course, in my opinion, was a blast. The gunfire and smoke in the background while we were getting yelled at was pretty unreal,” C4C Aidan

McCleery, CS-17, said. “In the moment it was horrible, afterward, it was a blast. It felt like what the military always looked like in movies, and once we finished, it was an amazing feeling.” Second BCT focuses on building skills that basic cadets will need upon entering the cadet wing and when they commission. This training builds on their experiences from First BCT and gives them more focus on the operational military. “Jacks Valley training gives basic cadets the opportunity to test their grit and skills in more field-like conditions than can be achieved on the hill. It is an incredible atmosphere to build determination, flexibility, and teamwork.” C2C Abram Schwach, CS-34, said. -

Shortly after, they enter the cool lake to begin. The parachute drag is a morning highlight. Cadets swim over to a floating platform in the middle of the lake and attach themselves to a harness connected to the back of a jet ski. This scenario mimics a situation in which a cadet’s

survival at Kettle Lake In order to return to shore from the

platform, cadets bail out of the dock and “chain up.” This survival technique links cadets together to swim as a unit. Some groups quickly coordinate themselves whilst others go in a circle or veer off course. Cadets quickly wrap up their lunch break to begin the water survival seenario. SERE instructors and CST cadre evaluate trainees in two main areas:

single-man rafts and a 20-man raft. Each group starts on opposite ends of the lake. They look across the water and see crashing waves from jet ski wakes. It feels and looks like a scene from a

movie as cadets brave the rough-choppy waters while making their way to

rafts. “It was so chaotic trying to swim to

the one-man life rafts because the jet skis made massive waves pushing us all in different directions. The rafts quick-

ly filled with water if we didn’t completely cover up with the spray shield,” C3C Rory Shedd said. “The experience was very stressful, and I had to keep reminding myself to stay calm and breathe. And then, a helicopter hovered right over us, making it harder to stay covered up.” An unforgettable moment throughout the training would be in the twenty-man raft. Cadets pile on top of each other as they struggle to climb aboard amidst the waves. Working together, they put together a spray shield, concealing themselves from dangers outside.

“Being in the 20-man is always chaos, with jet skis causing waves and splashing water in the raft, but now that you are cadre, it’s your chaos,” C2C Jaimey Weidner, CST cadre, said. “You know how to guide the students and start to see how they work together and what makes cadets so like-minded. When things get tough, cadets bond

together.” Cadets secure the bright side of a raft’s spray shield to help search teams spot them.

The spring CULEX tookl place over the course of three days. Squadrons completed stations to test their knowledge of TCCC, land navigation, law of war, and communications. The most demanding station was called the Field Training Exercise, or FTX. This included a march out to Jacks Valley, where cadets defended a forward operating base while examiners tested their ability to demonstrate RAT skills. “The FTX really challenged how you operated under pressure, cold, tired, and hungry.

SPLIT SECOND Video app compiles year of cadet

experiences moment by moment One Second Everyday (lSE) is an app some cadets use to record their

experiences at the Academy. Users film one second of a moment every day, and at the end of the year, the app creates a full video of their cadet

experience to look back on later. Not only is the app a fun way for cadets to rememher their journey through the Academy, it’s also a good way to share their experiences with others. In fact, some of these videos have been shared on various platforms and have inspired others to come to the Academy. “I actually heard about lSE when I was coming to the Academy because I think it’s just a popular thing for people to do here—there’s a lot on YouTube. When I thought if I wanted to come to the Academy, I was iffy, but then those were cool,” C3C Julia Bennett said. Although the polished videos hint at excitement in everyday cadet life, it’s not always easy to capture interesting moments. “Some days it’s just random [what I record],” Cadet Bennett said. “If we have a ceremony or something, I’ll try to do that. I really just try to pick moments that don’t happen every day, and I try to pick things that I would want to look back on and remember like, oh,

this was cool when I did it.” Everyday cadet life is filled with academics, military

training, athletics, meetings, and more. While this routine can get repetitive, it is rarely boring due to the numerous events or activities that happen around the Academy to break up the monotony. There is always something to do or see, from therapy dogs roaming the hallways between classes to flyovers of fighter planes. One Second Everyday also allows cadets to look back and reflect on certain parts of their Academy life. “It helps me to appreciate all those moments more,”

C3C Moriah Smith said. “In the moment, when I film my one second, I’ll think it’s just another normal day. Then when I look at my videos months or years later, I find myself looking at those moments from a different

perspective. Each second I filmed brings back more memories, and it helps to remind me that even the mundane moments can be special.” For cadets who use One Second Everyday, it’s more than an app. It’s a way to record their cadet lives—all the highs and lows—and hold onto those memories beyond their four years here.

The reward for success by the freshmen is full acceptance into the Cadet Wing as symbolized by the pinning of prop and wings to service dress uniforms as well as some additional privileges (usually).

DANCE

This annual celebration for the junior class occurs the week before graduation. It marks the cadets’ new role in leading the cadet wing. Cadets receive class rings, representing their

accomplishments and responsibilities as seniors. These contain materials from class rings belonging to the Class of 1976, legacy class for the Class of 2026, showing the bond between graduates and the rising senior class.

Class rings are christened in champagne (or a non-alcoholic choice if desired) at the dinner in Mitchell Hall and then cadets carefully sip the drink until they catch the ring with their teeth.

The Class of 2026 and guests socialize in the Arnold Hall Ballroom.

Meink recalled how the military has changed since his active-duty service almost 30 years ago, but even more importantly, how it’s transformed in the short time since the Class of 2025 arrived at the Academy. He emphasized the importance of national security, noting the shift of focus from the Middle East to the

“This administration has made its national security focus crystal clear. Number one, defend the homeland. Number two, deter China in the Indo-Pacific,” he said.

“We are treating space like the contested environment that it is

by inserting resilience and space superiority into every aspect of our overhead architecture,” Meink said. “We are building the stealthiest and most lethal airborne platforms in history. We are building low-cost drones. And we are building the sensors and battle network to stitch it all together.” Meink said his expectation of the graduates is to innovate and take initiative, attributing many of the Air Force’s proudest achievements to junior officers. He charged them to never quit and never settle. “No matter what the conflict of the future looks like, airpower and will be at its spacepower leading edge and you must be ready for it at all times,” he said. “Congratulations, Class of 2025. Welcome to the Air Force and the Space Force. We are counting on you.” The ceremony concluded with the Class of 2025 tossing their white caps in the air with excitement. Following the hat toss, children from the audience ran onto the field to collect hats, often pinned with money and notes from the graduates to the children.

BEE

RESPONSIBLE Cadet apiarists learn sweet

leadership lessons in club The USAFA Bee Club offers cadets a unique

leadership opportunity as they manage on-campus hives while promoting environmental stewardship and biodiversity. As a cadet-led organization, members take full responsibility for caring for the bees, maintaining hive health, and guiding community outreach efforts. This year, cadets expanded their impact beyond the hives. They hosted a gallery-style art exhibit in Exemplar Hall, featuring hive photography and posters to showcase pollinator conservation. During a follow along painting event, Bee Club members shared honey samples and educated the Cadet Wing about the critical role bees play in sustaining ecosystems. Leadership and education are at the heart of the club’s mission. Cadets organize and lead hive tours for permanent party and faculty, sharing their work and raising awareness about pollinator health. Seasonal inspections, colony care, and maintaining healthy hives present a year-round commitment for the club members. “The opportunity to take care of the USAFA bees and learn more about these wonderful pollinators provides experiences unlike any other club offered here,” CiC Mychele DeLauney said. “You make a positive impact on the local environment and develop a skill and hobby you can take with you after graduation.” By taking on leadership roles in hive management and community education, cadets gain hands-on experience that builds both ecological knowledge and leadership skills. “Going from never having kept more than a dog to overseeing two beehives, USAFA Beekeeping has been an amazing experience that greatly expanded my depth of knowledge about these pollinators,” CiC Austin Curtis said. “One

of my favorite parts is all the random bee trivia I now know, like bees having five eyes or how

they have been trained to sniff bombs.” Through hive leadership, outreach, and environmental initiatives, the Bee Club gives cadets a meaningful way to grow as leaders while helping the Academy’s smallest but most essential workers thrive.
