Support Academy, not criticize

Character has no off-switch

By Kay GrangerTexas Congresswoman and Board of Visitors member

I feel compelled to bring to your attention a matterof national concern. I am a former teacher and educa-tion is a top priority for me. Because of my deeppersonal commitment, I have served on the boards of anumber of educational institutions, and I currentlyserve as a member of the U. S. Air Force AcademyBoard of Visitors. The board, under the strong leader-ship of former Virginia governor Jim Gilmore, is asengaged and attentive as any board on which I haveserved. Other Congressional members on the board areSenators Wayne Allard, Larry Craig and Mark Pryorand Representatives Joel Hefley and CarolynKilpatrick. From our vantage point, we have had a clearview of the cultural problems that surfaced at USAFA,as well as the response by both the Air Force andUSAFA leadership.

Let me state this clearly – I have never seen aninstitution face its problems more courageously,examine itself more carefully, and set goals to achievechange more clearly than USAFA. After the report wasissued from the commission on sexual assault headedby former colleague Tillie Fowler, the administration,staff, board and cadets made enormous changes to theAcademy, and the efforts should be a model for institu-tions throughout the nation. Lieutenant General John

Rosa, Academy Superintendent, has exercised tremen-dous leadership since he took command of theAcademy in July 2003. General Rosa deserves nothingbut praise for leading the Academy through this diffi-cult time and I am grateful for his service.

The problem of religious intolerance and discrimi-nation was discovered through student surveys initiatedby the Academy and that problem is being addressed;however, I can’t state clearly enough that the resultingmedia coverage has blown this issue completely out ofproportion.

Like any institution of higher learning, theAcademy faces those cultural challenges prevalentamong youth in America today. The difference is thatdedicated Air Force and Academy leadership are identi-fying and addressing the tough issues such as sexualassault and religious intolerance in an open and forth-right manner – while their smallest actions aredissected and analyzed under the national microscope.Identifying the right solutions for the Academy is evenmore difficult because they must maintain that criticalbalance between military institution and a university. Ifwe only held the Academy to the same standard as acivilian university then there would be no cause forconcern. In actuality, the Academy campus is undoubt-edly one of the safest in America. I only wish otheruniversities would follow in their strong lead. The factis the Academy is light years ahead of most universities

in addressing and resolving these issues. TheAcademy should be praised, not criticized.

Unfortunately, those most hurt by overzealouscriticism are the cadets themselves. I am veryconcerned about the long-term impact this excessivelynegative publicity will have on these bright, energeticyoung people from all over America who are dedi-cating themselves to the service of our nation. Thesteady stream of untrue, and sometimes outlandishlyunfair, assertions leave the totally inaccurate impres-sion of routine rapes and rampant proselytizing. Thisnegative atmosphere takes an underserved toll on thecadets (and the faculty and staff who mentor them).They should be totally focused on learning to be thebest officers they can, rather than being distracted bythe constant bombardment in the media that unjustlysullies their reputations. These are young men andwomen we appointed – and they are great individuals.If you have any doubt what I am telling you is true, Istrongly urge you to personally visit your Air ForceAcademy. You will return proud of the Academy, itsleadership and the cadets.

Please join me in spreading the truth. TheAcademy is a national jewel. The cadets are amongthe finest men and women America has to offer. AirForce and Academy leadership are out ahead boldlyaddressing critical national issues and for that, theydeserve our support and praise; not criticism.

By Col. Michael Isherwood355th Wing vice commander

“At least I can say I served with men of character.”— Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower

General Eisenhower wrote those words to his sonwhen rumors surfaced that he would be forced to retireduring the early days of World War II. Serving with menand women of character for the good of our nation isperhaps the greatest reason why we remain in uniform.

Simply said, character counts.This is true of the Airmen I see as I travel to the

flight line, backshops and work centers. I find young Airmen of character. They tell me how

it is. Good and bad. I can sense their unease at passingalong bad news. I suppose they fear they might getblamed or that they’re making their leadership look bad.Their character allows them to shoot straight with meand pass along bad news.

But this wing’s leaders are not interested in blame.They are committed to fixing problems. If we don’tknow the problems, we can’t get the resources, time ortraining to allow the mission to get done.

This same character must be present when we takeoff our uniforms after our shift and on weekends. Ourstandards apply 365/24/7. We must demonstrate ourintegrity fresh each day.

How? There are many examples. You and I surely have seen examples when we’re

out with friends at a restaurant, club or someone’shouse. We see someone have a couple of beers or alco-holic drinks. The “easy” thing is to not say anything …not to highlight them as not able to drive home.

Or, we see a fellow Airman, underage, with a beerin their hand. Our character, however, compels us tostep up and shoot straight with them. In the first case,get their keys. In the second case, get them a soda.

That’s how character counts when we’re out ofuniform. Character is not a light switch that we turn onwhen convenient or when we put on our BDUs or flight-suits.

Character is what compels you to set aside yourinterests to help the “new guy” or young Airman masterhis or her career development course or technical skills.You pause on your way home or to lunch to ask how heor she is doing. Then, you act ... to help that Airmanlearn what you know. That’s character.

We must have character when we show installationstewardship. We translate “don’t walk by a problem” to“pick up that empty plastic bottle” along the curb at thebase exchange. You set the example. That’s character.

Finally, we must have character when we fightwhen called. Airmen here have demonstrated characterin spades for years.

The attack pilot showed it when he provided closeair support to help Soldiers and Marines caught in afirefight. Rescue and Compass Call crews are showingit as you read this, in the air and on alert in Iraq and

Afghanistan. What they do is irreplaceable and criticalto saving American lives and getting the mission done.

Security Forces showed character as they stood alertat the entry point to Balad and other bases. They stoodalert for the next suicide bomber.

The explosive ordnance disposal Airmen showedcharacter when they disarmed more than 260,000pounds of explosives. Several hundred improvisedexplosive devices were among that count. They didalmost 1,000 missions, most while under direct and in-direct fire.

Vehicle operators showed character as they drovemore than 500 convoys in Iraq. They delivered a milliontons of supplies. And, they were attacked more than 100times. One Airman told me how a rocket-propelledgrenade ricocheted two feet in front of him. Anothertold a story of how he recognized AK-47 slugs passingthrough the cab of his vehicle.

These Airmen are steadfast in their duty. Their char-acter gives them a sense of purpose and drive to get themission done, to not falter as part of the team, not lettheir buddies down around them.

We know that it is not if or when we will comeunder hostile fire. The question will be how often.Airmen who never apologize for our conduct under fireunderstand that character is not a light switch they turnon only when the bullets start to fly.

Each day, I strive to reflect the privilege to servealong side you, men and women of character.

Majors Night seeks academic majorsBy the Academy Public Affairs

Rocket motors, human brain matter, satellites, robots,a spacesuit and a lovable 8-foot boa constrictor namedMartha all awaited Academy freshmen and sophomoresduring the Academy’s Academic Majors’Night, Sept. 15,in Fairchild Hall.

Majors’Night offered the Academy’s 1,298 freshmen,400 currently undeclared sophomores, and the PreparatorySchool’s cadet candidates, the chance to learn more aboutthe opportunities, requirements and adventures avail-able in the Academy’s 32 academic majors and twominors.

For this event, each academic department show-cased its most visual and unusual wares. For theElectrical and Computer Engineering Department, thatcame in the form of cadet-built robots.

From the Astronautics Department, cadet-designedsatellites and solid fuel rocket motors were demon-strated, while the History Department instructors donned

historic military uniforms. As usual, the biology department turned a few heads

when they brought out the cold-blooded Martha.Martha, an 8-foot boa constrictor is housed in the

Biology Department. The 33-pound snake spent theevening wrapped around a Biology Department member,gently looking around and waiting to be petted by theoften-shocked passers-by.

A bit further down the hall, the Behavioral Scientistsshowed off human brain tissue samples that cadets study

in an effort to understand the biological aspects of humanbehavior.

While the visual impact drew the cadets in, it was thenup to the instructors to explain where their department’sparticular offerings can lead in terms of challenging class-work, and how their academic majors translate into aspecific Air Force career.

Each cadet must select their academic major by themiddle of their third semester at the Academy.

Fernandes, Hispanic HeritageCommittee Chair.

“We’d like to get as many people aspossible involved in this celebration,which is why we’ve planned eventsinvolving active duty personnel, cadetsand children here on the Academy,” shesaid.

Volunteers are needed for two otherevents this month. People can help chil-dren make a chicken enchilada dinnerat the youth center starting at 4 p.m.,Monday.

The child development center needspeople to read to children Wednesdayat 2 p.m. Books on Hispanic heritage,food and other appropriate topics willbe provided.

Capt. Eric Garcia, Hispanic HeritageCommittee member, said both childrenand staff are excited to have peopleparticipate in these events. “The kidshave a lot of fun with this, and we’re

hoping to get a good turnout,” he said.The finale event for the Academy’s

celebration of Hispanic Heritage Monthwill be a dance at Arnold Hall Oct. 29from 6 p.m. to midnight. Food will beprovided by the Hispanic HeritageCommittee, and the cadet club LosPadrinos will have a DJ and dance lessons.Cadets, as well as active duty and otherbase personnel, are invited to attend.

Lieutenant Fernandes says cele-brating Hispanic Heritage is vital tothose both within the military andoutside of it.

“Because Hispanic Americans makeup less than seven percent of the AirForce’s population and less than fourpercent of our officers,we need to makesure that they and all minorities recog-nize they are important to the Air Forcemission.”

Web site educates work force on Constitution, citizenshipAmerican Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON – The Defense Department devel-oped a new way for its employees to learn more aboutthe Constitution and citizenship as part of the nationalattention on both this week.

A new DoD Web site at http://constitutionday.cpms.osd.mil contains a 20-minute course on theConstitution that highlights the relationship betweenthe Constitution and DoD employees. Also included isthe complete text of the Constitution, an interactivetimeline of events before and after the signing of the docu-ment, and a question-and-answer section.

The new Web site was developed to support the

efforts of the heads of DoD components responsible forproviding educational materials on the Constitution Dayand Citizenship Day, officials said.

Each DoD component may organize activitiesincluding educational programs and ceremonies to reaf-firm the oath of office that federal employees take uponappointment to the federal service, officials noted.

Constitution Day and Citizenship Day were estab-lished through Public Law 108-447, which also requiresthat training and educational materials on the Constitutionare made available to all federal agency employees eachyear.

“I encourage federal, state and local officials, as wellas leaders of civic, social and educational organizations,

to conduct ceremonies and programs that celebrate ourConstitution and reaffirm our rights and obligations ascitizens of our great nation,” President Bush said in aproclamation which designated Sept. 17 as CitizenshipDay, and the week of Sept. 17-23 as Constitution Week.Congress issued a joint resolution as well.

“Constitution Day and Citizenship Day is an impor-tant occasion for all Americans, but it has specialsignificance for members of the DoD family whowork so hard and sacrifice so much to protect and defendthe principles of liberty and democracy upon whichthis great nation was founded,” said Marilee Fitzgerald,acting deputy undersecretary of defense for civilianpersonnel policy.

Cadets volunteer military skills for orienteering clubBy Eddie KovskyAcademy Spirit staff

Two members of Cadet Squadron22 gave up their Saturday afternoon tohelp out at the National OrienteeringDay in Black Forest.

Cadet 1st Class Marie Nicholson-Hutt and Cadet 1st Class Daniella Hellerspent the day handing out maps, cluesheets, collecting money, registeringparticipants, recruiting new members,answering a lot of basic orienteeringquestions and running through coursesto pick up markers.

Orienteering participants use a mapand compass to locate a series of check-points shown on a specialized topo-graphic map. The goal is to find all thecheckpoints and get to the finish line inthe shortest amount of time. Successfulcompletion of a course requires goodmap reading skills in addition to overallphysical fitness.

Cadet Nicholson-Hutt started helpingwith the Rocky Mountain OrienteeringClub last spring when she was lookingfor volunteer opportunities for hersquadron. Last weekend’s meet in BlackForest was the second time they had

participated as volunteers since their firstmeet in Boulder last spring.

“I was looking through the ColoradoAdventure magazine and saw the orien-teering club and thought it would be a goodthing to get cadets involved in,” said CadetNicholson-Hutt. “I thought they (the orine-teering club) would like help from cadetswho have been through survival training andhave the skills necessary to navigate throughthe Colorado forests.”

The Rocky Mountain OrienteeringClub hosts 15-20 orienteering meets per yearin Colorado.

“The club aims to introduce the sport

of orienteering to kids and adult beginners,as well as to provide challenging coursesto more experienced orienteers,” said BrookeMann, Black Forest meet director. “Wehost a multi-day national event everysummer.”

The Black Forest meet is specificallytargeted at kids, families and beginners.The event organizers offered free beginnerinstruction, and free compasses and hatswere provided to participants.

The Black Forest meet is one ofRMOC’s more popular events each year,with more than 80 participants coming outthis year.

MyPay aims tocurb identity theftAir Force Print News

ARLINGTON, Va. — The under-secretary of defense-comptroller and theundersecretary of defense for personneland readiness have cosigned a new policythat directs military departments and alldefense civilian employees to support thepolicy to eliminate paper copies of leaveand earnings statements and W-2 tax state-ments.

Under the new policy, servicemem-bers and civilian nonbargaining employeeswho log on to the myPay Web site areconsenting to receive electronic copiesof their documents.

Bargaining unit civilians will bebrought onto this system as soon as localnegotiations are completed.

MyPay is currently available to allservicemembers, Department of Defensecivilian employees, and military retireesand annuitants. Although the policy appliesto servicemembers and DoD civilians,the benefits of using myPay to eliminateidentity theft associated with postal

delivery of these statements also appliesto retirees and annuitants for their 1099tax statements.

For many years, myPay has providedservicemembers and civilian employeeswith a secure method to view, print andsave their LES, W-2 or 1099s electron-ically. Receipt of electronic documentseliminates risk associated with hand-delivered mail. By using myPay to viewand print statements, names, addressesand Social Security numbers areprotected.

The individual controls when thedocument is viewed and printed, andsensitive data is under his or her controlat all times. This is particularly impor-tant for W-2s and 1099s, where the SSNcannot be masked because of InternalRevenue Service regulations.

Besides obtaining electronic copiesof LES and tax statements, customers canmake adjustments to federal and statetax withholdings and update bank accountand electronic transfers by accessingmyPay.

Maj. Rebekah Friday, Academy CFCproject officer, calculates that if everybase employee contributes what theymake in an hour, just once per month,the Academy will reach 100 percent ofit’s goal.

The CFC was established in 1961and is the largest workplace charitycampaign in the country.

This annual fall fundraising driveallows nearly four million federalemployees and servicemembers tocontribute to thousands of local andnational nonprofit organizations.

Last year, federal employees and

servicemembers donated a record-setting$257 million to the campaign.Contributions can be in cash, check orby payroll deduction.

On average, one in four federalemployees or their dependents willbenefit from the campaign charities thisyear, CFC officials said.

Civilians have ways to help Katrina survivorsAir Force Print News

RANDOLPH AFB, Texas — In the aftermath ofHurricane Katrina, many Americans want to do what-ever they can to help those directly affected, and nowgovernment civilians have some opportunities to helpin the effort.

The emergency leave transfer and the federalemployee volunteer programs are two avenues civilianemployees can take to do their part in helping hurricanevictims.

Through the emergency leave transfer program,Air Force civilian employees may donate unused annualleave for transfer to fellow employees adversely affectedby the hurricane.

Leave transfer recipients who need additional timeoff from work can then do so without having to use theirown paid annual or sick leave.

“This is a great opportunity for each of us to helpfellow government civilians as they need time to carefor a variety of family issues as a result of HurricaneKatrina,” said Greg Den Herder, Air Force Personnel

Center executive director here.Emergency leave donors may contribute up to 104

hours of leave in a leave year, but they cannot contributeleave to a specific person. Donated annual leave not usedby emergency leave recipients will be restored to emer-gency leave donors.

Employees may volunteer to become emergencyleave donors by submitting an Office of PersonnelManagement Form 1638 through their civilian personnelflight to the Air Force Personnel Center’s civilian fieldactivities office. The form must state the specifiednumber of hours of accrued annual leave to be trans-ferred from their annual leave accounts to the leaveprogram.

In another effort to help hurricane victims, govern-ment civilian employees may also volunteer to help theFederal Emergency Management Agency’s HurricaneKatrina efforts through the federal employee volunteerprogram.

“Air Force civilians are already providing outstandingassistance to those in need simply by doing their jobs,”

Mr. Herder said. “This program offers those people,whom supervisors can release, another way to serve inthis effort to overcome the effects of Hurricane Katrina.”

Potential volunteers must receive permission fromtheir chain of command to participate. Those who volun-teer will likely face difficult working conditions whilebeing exposed to potential dangers to their health andwell-being. Volunteers should also expect to be deployeda minimum of 30 days to locations affected by HurricaneKatrina as determined by FEMA.

Along with this awareness, supervisors must weighthe volunteer opportunity against costs to the unit.Volunteers’units will continue to pay salary and benefitcosts, including workers compensation costs if volun-teer employees are injured. FEMA officials expect topay additional travel, overtime and training costs, butowning organizations must be prepared to cover thosecosts until reimbursement is made.

Interested civilian employees, with their supervisors’permission, should contact their base civilian personneloffice for more information.

Wings of Blue catch airBy Tech. Sgt. Matt Gilreath21st Space Wing Public Affairs

Most college students are still sleeping at 5 a.m.Some might be getting up early to cram for an upcomingexam.

That’s when some Academy students are preparingfor an adrenaline rush only a few people can ever dreamabout.

They are the men and women of the Wings of Blueparachute demonstration team.

Technical Sgt. Jason Tepool, NCO-in-charge ofthe team, has been an instructor at the Academy for15 months, but has been jumping for 17 years. He hasmore than 12,000 jumps to his credit.

He said before the cadets get to step out of anairplane, they must first step into the aerospace phys-iology altitude chamber at Peterson Air Force Base.

“We have to make sure the cadets can perform atthe altitudes we jump at,” Sergeant Tepool said. “Wehave a couple of instructors who go down to Petersonto help out with cadet training and sometimes withthe Army troops from Fort Carson who certify here.We don’t want anyone getting hurt.”

Sergeant Tepool said once they get past thechamber, it’s off to jump school and opportunities toperform in front of millions of people.

“We did our first jump Sept. 3 into Qwest Fieldup in Seattle for the Academy’s first game,” SergeantTepool said. “This year we’ll be jumping into theInsight, Fiesta and Rose Bowl games.”

The jump master said being in the spotlight is great,but he likes to work things on a smaller scale.

“I really like when we get to jump into high schoolfootball games,” Sergeant Tepool said. “What a great

recruiting tool. The cadets get a chance to talk withstudents and tell them what Academy life is like.”

It was that same kind of event and wanting tofollow in her father’s footsteps that motivated Cadet1st Class Jennifer Evans to join the Air Force and

pursue her goal of being a member of the team.“My father was a pilot and used to jump,” Cadet

Evans said. “I heard about the Wings of Blue when Iwas in high school and decided that is what I wantedto do.”

Sergeant Tepool said making the team isn’teasy, out of an average of 200 applicants, only 25make the cut. He said the freshmen and sopho-mores make up the team of hopefuls they affec-tionately call, the ‘Wings of Green.’

“There are 25 juniors and 25 seniors whomake up the Wings of Blue,” Sergeant Tepoolsaid. “They are the ones responsible for trainingthe lower classman. It builds teamwork and ourmost important focus, character development andAirmanship.”

With so many cadets wanting to learn how tojump, one of the most important functions ismaintaining the parachutes.

Mr. Steve Archuletta, parachute loft super-intendent, said the loft has nine riggers and theykeep 500 chutes online at once.

“It’s a lot of work,” Mr. Archuletta said. “Wehave a lot of experience here between our civilianand military people. One of our most experi-enced guys, Bonz Alteri, is a former GoldenKnight (Army elite parachute team).”

With every stitch checked and automatic acti-vation devices calibrated, the Wings of Blue boardthe plane with confidence.

Sergeant Tepool said they look forward tonew challenges and adventures.

Perhaps one day, another little boy or girlmay look to the sky and say, “That’s what I wantto do.”

Cadet joins world power lifting eliteBy Wayne AmannAcademy Spirit staff

In Cadet Squadron 4, he’s known simply as the guywho lifts a lot of weight. Outside the Academy he’srecognized as the world’s third strongest 18-23-year-old.

Cadet 2nd Class Mike Tuchscherer (pronouncedtoo-sheer) finished third overall, in the field of morethan 250, at the International Powerlifting Federation’sWorld Subjunior and Junior Powerlifting Championship,Sept. 7-11, in Fort Wayne, Ind.

His 749.5 pound squat won him a bronze medal,while his 573 pound bench press earned him a goldmedal. Both were personal bests. His dead lift was688.75 pounds.

Tuchscherer’s showing helped the United States (58points) finish second to Russia (70 points), in the 21-team international field.

The 270-pound junior management major’s threelift total of 2,011.25 pounds trailed only Alexey Pankovand Anton Kibiru of Russia who lifted 2,154.75 poundsand 2,089.25 pounds respectively, in the 243- to 275-pound weight class.

“They did what I thought they would do,”Tuchscherer said. “I knew it was going to be close. I’mone of those people gunning for first place all thetime.”

Five months earlier at the U.S. PowerliftingCollegiate Nationals in Baton Rouge, La., the Corydon,Ind., product hoisted a meet record total 2,007 pounds,including a 551-pound record bench press, to takefirst place in his weight class, the first cadet to do soin 17 years.

Accomplishments and notoriety aside, the soft-

spoken Hoosier is blazing a trail he hopes other student-lifters will follow under the Academy’s Fitness Clubumbrella.

“We try to make it as team oriented as possible,even though you’re on your own lifting,” the 20-year-old Tuchscherer explained. “I’m the cadet-in-chargeof the team so I try to develop programs to help the

junior athletes succeed. The freshmen and sopho-mores need a little more direction. I explain the ‘why’of the programs to them.”

where he believes they’ll be competitive.“I’m excited about that,” he said.

“Generally speaking, most cadets coulddo really well at a local competitionbecause they’re pretty strong, at leastin the bench press. We have some peoplewho’ve been training hard. A couplemay qualify for the collegiate nationals.”

If they do, Academy backing will beinstrumental to their success asTuchscherer can attest.

“Money is the big thing,” he said.“Without the support of the Associationof Graduates and cadet clubs, it wouldn’tbe possible. They financed my trips toLouisiana and Indiana. They picked upthe tab for plane tickets, hotel rooms, thereally big ticket items. I took care of

entry fees, membership,equipment costs and personalexpenses. This leaves moneyfor our younger competitorsand other cadet clubs.”

When Tuchscherer isn’ttraining three to five days aweek, he’s an avid student ofhis sport.

“I try to be as intense andas focused as possible in thegym, plus I do a lot of powerlifting research on my own,”he pointed out. “Sometimes Istruggle with my passionbecause my research conflictswith my homework. I have toget the school work done orelse I can’t lift anymore. I findtime to make it work. It’s abalancing act.”

Motivation has never beena concern for Tuchscherer.

“I’ve always been into theweight lifting. Getting strongerwas the main reason forgetting into the gym,” he emphasized.“When you leave the gym you knowyou’re stronger than the day before. It’sone of those natural highs people expe-rience and talk about.”

Tuchscherer’s game plan is to win theCollegiate Nationals around mid-Aprilof 2006 in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., then,if selected to the U.S. Junior World Team,travel to Sofia, Bulgaria, for the next IPF

World Junior Championship.A powerlifter normally peaks out in

the mid-to late thirties.“Barring serious injury, I’ve got 15

more years of competition,” Tuchschererpredicted. “I plan to do a lot of bigthings. I keep a paper with all my longerterm powerlifting goals. I’d like to breaksome more records and do some reallycool things in the sport.”

So far – mission accomplished.

By the Academy Spirit staff

A random peek into Academy classroomsyields an incredible diversity of efforts and disci-plines.

In the Academy Astronautics Lab, two cadetswere making a demonstration one morning earlierthis month.

Cadets 1st Class Mike Grant and NicoleStenstad were showing Staff Sgt. MickaelWickershien how to hook up FalconSAT-2’s umbil-ical for battery charging in the classroom.

Not far away, Cadet 1st Class Rob Holland washefting a block of aluminum.

The new milling machine enables cadets tofabricate all of the mechanical structures for in-house FalconSAT efforts.

“The machine I placed it in can make it intoalmost any shape I need,” said the 21-year-old cadetmajoring in astronautical engineering.

The senior cadet said he is working at gettingahead of classes, trying to work more during theday than late at night.

From languages to lasers, Academy classroomsand state of the art facilities and projects offer adaily flow of challenges and learning experiences.

Cadet 1st Class Tyler Kimes, 21, Eden Prairie,Minn., was inspecting the antenna set up ofFalconSAT-3’s qualification model.

“We were trying to get a feel for the programthat we just entered at the start of this semester, andgetting right into it is the best way to learn,” said theastronautical engineering major.

The Falcons football player said concentratinghis focus and energy in Fairchild Hall’s Astroclasses can be hard, but he keeps up with Lt. Col.Timothy Lawrence’s classes.

“There are a lot of different things at theacademy that all compete for a cadet’s time but it isimportant to push forward every day and devoteyour full attention to the present and not stressabout what may be coming up,” said Cadet Kimes.

“It makes for some long days and short nights ofsleep but the end result is an engineering degreefrom one of the best programs in the nation, whichputs me right where I want to be.”

It’s all in a day of academics at the Academyfor this cadet.

“This is my senior year and I don’t have muchtime to myself, but playing division I football andgetting my engineering degree will be the bestexperience of my life,” Cadet Kimes said.

Cadets 4th Class Hunter Myers, JamesBurrows and Michelle Fryling were working ananswer to a “limit” question in Maj. Lem Myers’Math 141.

That morning, Cadet Stenstad, 21, Woodbury,Minn., had a good feeling about what she wasdoing.

“It’s awesome to know that my efforts willhelp send our satellites into space,” said the astro-nautical engineering major. “So many studentsdon’t get such great ‘hands-on’ opportunities. Ireally want to succeed in this program. I feel likeI’m making a worthwhile contribution andlearning so much at the same time.”

She said classes have become more chal-lenging at the Academy.

“I find that it is easier to succeed in classesthat I can relate to and enjoy,” Cadet Stenstad said.“My Astro classes keep me busy, but interested. Inless than a year my classmates and I will be takingpart in real missions and that motivates me to learnall that I can now.”

Cadet 1st Class Michael Cole was studying anunusual enzyme that stays stable at extreme temper-atures, using molecular techniques to identify thegene that leads to production of the enzyme.

In another Fairchild Hall classroom during thesecond hour, Cadet 3rd Class Beverly Broome,majoring in economics with a minor in Chinese,was immersed in Maj. Paul Howe’s Introduction toChinese 131. They were writing new Chinesewords on the blackboard.

“We do this because writing Chinese characters

helps reinforce meaning and retention,” said Maj.Howe. “The character has a good story behind it.It’s pronounced nán and means ‘man’ or ‘male.’The top part of the character means ‘field’ and thebottom part is ‘strength,’ so a memory tool for thischaracter could be ‘strength in the field equalsman’.”

Students began the class with little or no expo-sure to Chinese, said Maj. Howe.

“This is a very challenging program becausethere are no individual letters like we have in theEnglish language,” said Cadet Broome, 19,Springfield, Pa. “Each word has its own character torepresent it.”

Like other cadets, she was feeling the pressuresof academic requirements

“Sometimes it is very difficult to keep aheadwith classes at the Academy because we all do somuch,” Cadet Broome said. “I have intra-murals, I play lacrosse, have to sit CQ(dorm admin. duty) and constantly havemeetings to attend. I just try to stay orga-nized.”

Some classrooms away, students poredover the parts of a UAV in Lt. Col. RickySward’s CS 453 Software Engineering I, theComputer Science Department’s year-longcapstone course for computer sciencemajors.

Cadets 1st Class Jonathan Ball andAdrian deFreitas appeared intent on theUAV servos, batteries, power converters,autopilot, wiring antennae and othercomponents.

“The plane is initially controlled by theRC controller, then controlled by acomputer through the autopilot,” theinstructor told them.

This year, 453’s project is to takevideo from a camera on board the UAV asit is flying, capture it on the ground andthen have the video available in thecommand post.

Arena Falcons gift wrap game for WyomingBy Wayne AmannAcademy Spirit staff

The Mountain West Conference billed thegame as Air Force vs. the University ofWyoming. In reality, the Falcons battled theCowboys and themselves – and lost to both.

An afternoon marred by inconsistentplay caught up to Air Force Saturday atFalcon Stadium when Wyoming quarterbackCorey Bramlet’s 1-yard touchdown run, andDeric Yaussi’s successful extra point, gave theCowboys a 29-28 lead with 1:25 left in thefourth quarter.

In football, 85 seconds can be an eter-nity if managed properly.

The Falcons took the ensuing kickoff attheir own 20-yard line and fired three incom-plete passes. On fourth down, Air Force widereceiver Jason Brown caught a clutch 15-yardaerial from quarterback Shaun Carney tokeep the outcome in doubt. After halfbackChad Smith ran for six yards, Carney threwtoward the Falcon sideline where Wyomingfree safety John Wendling intercepted with:48 left to ground the Air Force comebackbid.

The pick-off symbolized nagging AirForce mistakes that kept Wyoming in thegame. The Falcons fumbled three times andlost one. They were intercepted twice. Theywere whistled for eight penalties totaling 50yards. The kicking game was inconsistent atbest.

What proved to be the most telling miscuecame with 3:27 to play in the game. Carneyappeared to put the Falcons ahead for goodwith an 18-yard touchdown strike to Brownfor a 28-22 lead. What normally is a formality,the extra point, became a misadventure whenholder Danny Heaton couldn’t cleanly handlea high snap from center Bryan Jones. Heaton’sdash to the end zone fell short.

Bramlet and company took full advan-tage on their ensuing drive. In just six playsthey marched 65 yards in 1:54 to recapturethe lead and the win.

“That was a great, great college footballgame,” a disappointed Air Force head coach

Fisher DeBerry said. “We let it slip away. Weshould have won. You’ve got to make playsthroughout the game. We didn’t make themdown the stretch at the end. That hurt us agreat deal. We said earlier in the week if wedidn’t do something about fumbling it wasgoing to bite us in the rear, and it did.”

Air Force (2-1, 1-1 MWC) pleased theoverwhelming majority in thecrowd of 41,240 late in thefirst quarter, when Carneycapped a 79-yard, 13-playdrive with a 1-yard touch-down run. Scott Eberle’s extrapoint made it 7-0. It markedthe first time this season theFalcons took the first lead ina game. It was short lived.

Wyoming (2-1, 1-0MWC) quickly countered onits next possession as Bramletburned the Air Forcesecondary with a 63-yardtouchdown bomb to widereceiver Jovon Bouknight.Earlier in the quarter thesenior wide-out from Denvercaught a modest 8-yard pass,giving him 39 straight gameswith a catch, a streak thatleads the nation.

“That one big play hurtus,” Falcon cornerback ChrisSutton admitted. “I can takesome blame for that. Overallour defense played a heck ofa game. It comes down tomaking plays at certain times.They made the right plays atthe right times.”

The Cowboys, tying touchdown starteda string of 16 unanswered points, includingthree field goals by Yaussi that stakedWyoming to 16-7 cushion late in the thirdquarter.

Air Force rallied behind halfbacks JustinHandley and Chad Hall. Each delivered thefirst Falcon touchdowns of their careers.Handley’s was a 1-yard sprint in the third

quarter while Hall motored 16 yards on thesecond play of the fourth quarter.

“It was exciting (to score) but I’d muchrather have a win,” a somber Hall said.“Shaun made a good read, pitched to me, andI did what they taught us in practice, makeone guy miss. I was lucky enough to do it.”

Following Hall’s score, DeBerry optedfor the two-point conversion featuring offen-sive tackle Robert Kraay. Carney’s pass to the6-8, 295 pound lineman worked.

“I was surprised when Shaun returnedto the huddle with a grin,” Kraay said. “Wepracticed it a bunch of times the last two years.It definitely put the nerves on me.”

The play put Air Force up 22-16, but aFalcon fumble in their own territory openedthe door for Wyoming running back WynelSeldon to cap a five-play, 30-yard drive witha 2-yard touchdown run. Yaussi had his extrapoint attempt blocked by Nelson Mitchell,setting the stage for the seesaw finish.

The Falcons out-gained Wyoming intotal yardage 339 to 335, including 286 to68 on the ground.

Air Force still leads the all-time series21-20-3. It was little consolation to a teamwhose 2005 motto “Every Day, Every Play”did not materialize in this outing.

Air Force played Thursday at Utah, afterpress time. They face Colorado State Sept.29 and visit Navy Oct. 8. The Utah and CSUmeetings mark the first time in Air Forcehistory the Falcons will play back-to-backThursday night games.

“It’s fun to get a break from theAcademy,” Carney said. “Getting into a hoteland sleeping in a big bed you don’t have tomake in the morning is always nice.”

The Air Force volleyball teampainfully learned all good thingscome to an end.

Entering the second annualAll-Armed Forces TournamentSept. 16 and Saturday at CluneArena the Falcons had a sevenmatch winning streak, and 9-1 all-time series lead over Army andan 8-0 all-time series advantageover Navy.

The Black Knights andMidshipmen did an about-face,or at least put a halt to both trends,when they defeated the Falconsto prevent Air Force from repeatingas tourney champions. Bothfinished the tournament with 2-0match records but Army wasawarded the title thanks to its 6-1record in games compared toNavy’s 6-2 mark. Air Force was 1-2 and the Citadel 0-3 in matchplay.

Navy downed the Falcons 30-24, 22-30, 30-27 and 30-23, whileArmy rallied for a 26-30, 30-21,30-23, 30-22 victory. Thosesetbacks were sandwiched aroundAir Force’s 30-28, 30-20, 30-29sweep over the Citadel Bulldogs.

The win was little consola-tion for the bluesuiters.

“It hurts a lot to be beaten onyour home court by them for thefirst time in the 10 years I’ve beenhere,” Falcon Head Coach Penny

Lucas-White admitted. “I’ve gotto give Army their due. They werewell prepared and so was Navy.”

Meanwhile, Air Force wasnot 100 percent healthy for thetourney. Kristin Hamlett, whowas injured in the Sept. 13 matchat the University of NorthernColorado, saw limited playingtime against Navy and Army anddidn’t appear at all against theCitadel. The 6’Escondido, Calif.,senior entered the tournamentleading the Falcons in kills (173),digs (92), blocked shots (18) andservice aces (13).

“She went down with a third-degree right ankle sprain on thefirst play of the match,” Lucas-White explained. “She had treat-ment around the clock. Just to gether out there was huge. (The orig-inal prognosis had Hamlett out ofaction four to six weeks.) She’s

the leader in everything for us.”Hamlett’s presence on the floor

inspired her teammates in gameone versus Army.

Her block tied the score at 8.From there the Falcons reeled offfive unanswered points includinga back-to-back kill and serviceace by Rebecca Gallegos.

Army pulled within 19-16when a Hamlett kill triggered a10-4 Air Force run highlighted bya back-to-back kill and block by6’ 2” sophomore Brooke Akers.

“Kristin’s a big, strong force,”Akers said. “We do what we canto help her compensate for herinjury, while keeping her in thegame as long as possible.”

Army rallied with six straightpoints before Gallegos’ third killof the game won it.

From there, the Black Knightstook charge of the match.

Falcon senior outside hitterBrianna Thomas’ kill tied gametwo at 4 before an Air Force errorand six consecutive kills stakedArmy to an 11-4 lead they wouldnever relinquish.

Air Force could pull no closerthan three points the rest of the way,eventually losing by nine.

The Falcons led game three,6-4, when Army’s ElizabethLazzari drilled the first of hergame-high nine kills. The pointignited a 13-6 run forcing Lucas-White to call a time out. The respitedidn’t matter.

Air Force closed the gap to 20-17 with a Carly Siefken kill beforeArmy pulled away. Lazzari sand-wiched two kills around an AirForce error to end it.

Facing elimination in gamefour, Air Force got an ElizabethArrington kill to tie matters at 6.But, an Air Force error and threestraight Army kills gave the BlackKnights the lead for good.

“I can’t say I was overjoyedby the way some of our kidsstepped up,” Lucas-White said.“They should have brought more.We’ll work on that in practice.We’ve got to get stronger.”

Lucas-White had each Falconwrite a two-page paper this weekon what they can do, individually,not just to compete, but beat theiropponents. Air Force dropped to4-9 on the season following thetournament.

Pennell, Hospital halt cops, grab flag leadBy Wayne AmannAcademy Spirit staff

It was a boxing match withoutgloves, a 40-minute toe-to-toe bout.

Two undefeated heavyweights,the 10th Medical Group and the10th Security Forces Squadron,traded fiesty blows Tuesday hopingto claim undisputed first place in theAcademy Intramural Flag FootballLeague on Field #2.

SFS was a two-point conver-sion away from tying the game at14 with 1:20 left in regulation.Cops quarterback Rick Martinspotted Mike Wardingley open, justinside the end zone pylon, and fired.The Medic’s Drew Pennell broke upthe pass at the last instant to protectthe lead for the eventual 20-12Hospital win.

“That was the key play in thegame,” Hospital coach CordneyMorehead acknowledged. “Thatpreserved the victory for us.”

The knockout punch came with:45 left. The Cops’Scott Jacobsonfielded a punt deep in his own terri-tory. Just before getting ‘tackled’hislateral was intercepted by Luis Najarwho ran it back for an insurancetouchdown.

“I knew he was going to run it

to the outside and he was containedso I stayed back a little,” Najar said.“When he pitched it to the otherreturn man, I stepped in and tookit all the way. Special teams helpedus out a lot.”

The Medics defense providedan early spark by hurrying SFSquarterback Rick Martin intothrowing three straight incomple-tions inside the Hospital 20-yard lineon the game’s first possession.

Hospital (5-0) took over ondowns and capitalized. Quarter-back Cyril Luster found Pennellcircling out of the backfield andthe Hickory, N.C., product raceddown the left sideline for a 58-yardtouchdown.

“We planned on exploiting theirsecondary,” Pennell said. “I caughta little burst when I saw the goal line.I felt them getting a little close soI had to kick in the speed and leavethem.”

Pennell’s extra point made it 7-0.

Another defensive stop insideSFS territory gave the Medics excel-lent field position at the Cops 35.A 30-yard Luster pass to CarlJackson parked Hospital on theSFS 5. Following a sack, Lusterscrambled to his left to escape a

heavy SFS rush and flipped the ballto Pennell, who beat two defendersto the goal line from 10 yards out.

“We expected they would pres-sure us hard so I slid out of thepocket,” Luster explained. “Somescrambling is by design. A lot of itwas by habit. We had to make thempay with big plays.”

A second Pennell point-aftercatch ballooned the lead to 14-0,where it stood at halftime thanks toLuke Hopstad intercepting a Martinpass in the end zone just before theintermission.

Security Forces (4-1) came outswinging after the break.

Martin capped a drive by hittingThomas Cheney from 5-yards out,

slicing the deficit to 14-6. The extrapoint failed, but the Cops weren’tthrough.

After a Hospital punt, SFSdrove. A key fourth down comple-tion to Bill Allen, who was held incheck by Luke Hopstad most ofthe game, set up Martin’s 15-yardreturn strike to Allen making it 14-12 with 1:30 to play.

That’s when Pennell steppedup defensively.

Round two of this AIFFL seriesis slated for Oct. 11 and the regularseason title may hang in the balance.

“I figured the championshipwould go through us, the Cops orthe Prep School,” Morehead said.“Right now it’s ours to give away.”
