VOL. 45 NO. 38 SEPTEMBER 23, 2005 Academy honors Hispanic heritage By Academy Public Affairs Diversity is one of the most important components of the military, and the 2005 Academy Hispanic Heritage Committee is celebrating that diversity with events starting today. Hispanic Heritage Month kicks off at 11:30 a.m. with a fiesta in the community center ballroom. The guest speaker will be retired Brig. Gen. Joe Cubero, former Academy dean of the Faculty and current president of the Falcon Foundation. Other highlights include Capoeira dancers and home-cooked Hispanic food. Presentations will also be made to the winners of an essay contest for Air Academy High School students and cadet art contest, both sponsored by the Hispanic Heritage Committee. Hispanic Heritage Month is part of a larger celebration of diversity in the military. “We need to take advantage of and celebrate the heritage that we as Americans all share, which comes from a wide variety of races and backgrounds,” said Col. Ellsworth Tulberg, 10th Air Base Wing vice commander and advisor for the Hispanic Heritage Committee. Hispanic Heritage month runs to Oct. 15, and the Department of Defense’s theme for this year is “Hispanic Americans: Strong and Colorful Threads in the American Fabric.” “This year’s committee is focused on reaching out to all audiences on base.” said 2nd Lt.

Tyler suffers from endstage renal failure, and is awaiting a kidney transplant. Cadets welcomed their newest “Cadet for a Day” participant to the Academy for a 9 a.m. flight. Via the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the Air Force Academy’s Cadet for a Day program, the youth donned a flight suit and flight cap to participate in a host of cadet activities. These included a parachute demonstration at the 98th Flying Training Squadron and a tour of the airfield control tower. Tyler also visited the cadet area with Cadet Squadron 31, his honoary squardron and had lunch with 4,000 Academy cadets. After lunch, Tyler showed off his piloting skills in an Air Battle Laboratory flight simulator, toured the cadet chapel and met the Academy’s falcons and falconers. On Saturday, he joined CS-31’s pre-game tailgating and watched the Air Force Academy vs. Wyoming football game from the Academy Superintendent’s stadium box. Cadet for a Day started in 2000 and is funded through cadet donations.

I am a former teacher and education is a top priority for me. Because of my deep personal commitment, I have served on the boards of a number of educational institutions, and I currently serve as a member of the U. S. Air Force Academy Board of Visitors. The board, under the strong leadership of former Virginia governor Jim Gilmore, is as engaged and attentive as any board on which I have served. Other Congressional members on the board are Senators Wayne Allard, Larry Craig and Mark Pryor and Representatives Joel Hefley and Carolyn Kilpatrick. From our vantage point, we have had a clear view of the cultural problems that surfaced at USAFA, as well as the response by both the Air Force and USAFA leadership. Let me state this clearly – I have never seen an institution face its problems more courageously, examine itself more carefully, and set goals to achieve change more clearly than USAFA. After the report was issued from the commission on sexual assault headed by former colleague Tillie Fowler, the administration, staff, board and cadets made enormous changes to the Academy, and the efforts should be a model for institutions throughout the nation. Lieutenant General John Rosa, Academy Superintendent, has exercised tremendous leadership since he took command of the Academy in July 2003. General Rosa deserves nothing but praise for leading the Academy through this difficult time and I am grateful for his service. The problem of religious intolerance and discrimination was discovered through student surveys initiated by the Academy and that problem is being addressed; however, I can’t state clearly enough that the resulting media coverage has blown this issue completely out of proportion. Like any institution of higher learning, the Academy faces those cultural challenges prevalent among youth in America today. The difference is that dedicated Air Force and Academy leadership are identifying and addressing the tough issues such as sexual assault and religious intolerance in an open and forthright manner – while their smallest actions are dissected and analyzed under the national microscope. Identifying the right solutions for the Academy is even more difficult because they must maintain that critical balance between military institution and a university. If we only held the Academy to the same standard as a civilian university then there would be no cause for concern. In actuality, the Academy campus is undoubtedly one of the safest in America. I only wish other universities would follow in their strong lead. The fact is the Academy is light years ahead of most universities in addressing and resolving these issues. The Academy should be praised, not criticized. Unfortunately, those most hurt by overzealous criticism are the cadets themselves. I am very concerned about the long-term impact this excessively negative publicity will have on these bright, energetic young people from all over America who are dedicating themselves to the service of our nation. The steady stream of untrue, and sometimes outlandishly unfair, assertions leave the totally inaccurate impression of routine rapes and rampant proselytizing. This negative atmosphere takes an underserved toll on the cadets (and the faculty and staff who mentor them). They should be totally focused on learning to be the best officers they can, rather than being distracted by the constant bombardment in the media that unjustly sullies their reputations. These are young men and women we appointed – and they are great individuals. If you have any doubt what I am telling you is true, I strongly urge you to personally visit your Air Force Academy. You will return proud of the Academy, its leadership and the cadets. Please join me in spreading the truth. The Academy is a national jewel. The cadets are among the finest men and women America has to offer. Air Force and Academy leadership are out ahead boldly addressing critical national issues and for that, they deserve our support and praise; not criticism. Character has no off-switch By Col. Michael Isherwood 355th 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 son when rumors surfaced that he would be forced to retire during the early days of World War II. Serving with men and women of character for the good of our nation is perhaps 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 passing along bad news. I suppose they fear they might get blamed or that they’re making their leadership look bad. Their character allows them to shoot straight with me and pass along bad news. But this wing’s leaders are not interested in blame. They are committed to fixing problems. If we don’t know the problems, we can’t get the resources, time or training to allow the mission to get done. This same character must be present when we take off our uniforms after our shift and on weekends. Our standards apply 365/24/7. We must demonstrate our integrity fresh each day. How? There are many examples. You and I surely have seen examples when we’re Directorate of Public Affairs mission: To responsibly inform and educate the Academy community and the public about the Air Force Academy Lt. Gen.

We see someone have a couple of beers or alcoholic 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 beer in their hand. Our character, however, compels us to step 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 of uniform. Character is not a light switch that we turn on when convenient or when we put on our BDUs or flightsuits. Character is what compels you to set aside your interests to help the “new guy” or young Airman master his or her career development course or technical skills. You pause on your way home or to lunch to ask how he or she is doing. Then, you act ... to help that Airman learn what you know. That’s character. We must have character when we show installation stewardship. We translate “don’t walk by a problem” to “pick up that empty plastic bottle” along the curb at the base exchange. You set the example. That’s character. Finally, we must have character when we fight when called. Airmen here have demonstrated character in spades for years. The attack pilot showed it when he provided close air support to help Soldiers and Marines caught in a firefight. Rescue and Compass Call crews are showing it as you read this, in the air and on alert in Iraq and The Academy Spirit is published by Colorado Springs Military Newspaper Group, a private firm in no way connected with the U.S. Air Force, under exclusive written contract with the U.S. Air Force Academy.

What they do is irreplaceable and critical to saving American lives and getting the mission done. Security Forces showed character as they stood alert at the entry point to Balad and other bases. They stood alert for the next suicide bomber. The explosive ordnance disposal Airmen showed character when they disarmed more than 260,000 pounds of explosives. Several hundred improvised explosive devices were among that count. They did almost 1,000 missions, most while under direct and indirect fire. Vehicle operators showed character as they drove more than 500 convoys in Iraq. They delivered a million tons of supplies. And, they were attacked more than 100 times. One Airman told me how a rocket-propelled grenade ricocheted two feet in front of him. Another told a story of how he recognized AK-47 slugs passing through the cab of his vehicle. These Airmen are steadfast in their duty. Their character gives them a sense of purpose and drive to get the mission done, to not falter as part of the team, not let their buddies down around them. We know that it is not if or when we will come under hostile fire. The question will be how often. Airmen who never apologize for our conduct under fire understand that character is not a light switch they turn on only when the bullets start to fly.

Academy Spirit September 23, 2005 NEWS 3 Majors Night seeks academic majors By the Academy Public Affairs Rocket motors, human brain matter, satellites, robots, a spacesuit and a lovable 8-foot boa constrictor named Martha all awaited Academy freshmen and sophomores during 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 Preparatory School’s cadet candidates, the chance to learn more about the opportunities, requirements and adventures available in the Academy’s 32 academic majors and two minors. For this event, each academic department showcased its most visual and unusual wares. For the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, that came in the form of cadet-built robots. From the Astronautics Department, cadet-designed satellites and solid fuel rocket motors were demonstrated, 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 the evening wrapped around a Biology Department member, gently looking around and waiting to be petted by the often-shocked passers-by. A bit further down the hall, the Behavioral Scientists showed off human brain tissue samples that cadets study in an effort to understand the biological aspects of human behavior. While the visual impact drew the cadets in, it was then up to the instructors to explain where their department’s particular offerings can lead in terms of challenging classwork, and how their academic majors translate into a specific Air Force career. Each cadet must select their academic major by the middle of their third semester at the Academy. Martha, the Academy’s boa constrictor, is an annual draw at Fairchild Hall’s majors night conducted to assist cadets select an academic major. Photos by John Van Winkle (Top) Capt.

A new DoD Web site at http://constitutionday. cpms.osd.mil contains a 20-minute course on the Constitution that highlights the relationship between the Constitution and DoD employees. Also included is the complete text of the Constitution, an interactive timeline of events before and after the signing of the document, and a question-and-answer section. The new Web site was developed to support the efforts of the heads of DoD components responsible for providing educational materials on the Constitution Day and Citizenship Day, officials said. Each DoD component may organize activities including educational programs and ceremonies to reaffirm the oath of office that federal employees take upon appointment to the federal service, officials noted. Constitution Day and Citizenship Day were established through Public Law 108-447, which also requires that training and educational materials on the Constitution are made available to all federal agency employees each year. “I encourage federal, state and local officials, as well as leaders of civic, social and educational organizations, to conduct ceremonies and programs that celebrate our Constitution and reaffirm our rights and obligations as citizens of our great nation,” President Bush said in a proclamation which designated Sept. 17 as Citizenship Day, and the week of Sept. 17-23 as Constitution Week. Congress issued a joint resolution as well. “Constitution Day and Citizenship Day is an important occasion for all Americans, but it has special significance for members of the DoD family who work so hard and sacrifice so much to protect and defend the principles of liberty and democracy upon which this great nation was founded,” said Marilee Fitzgerald, acting deputy undersecretary of defense for civilian personnel policy. Heritage From Page 1 Fernandes, Hispanic Heritage Committee Chair. “We’d like to get as many people as possible involved in this celebration, which is why we’ve planned events involving active duty personnel, cadets and children here on the Academy,” she said. Volunteers are needed for two other events this month. People can help children make a chicken enchilada dinner at the youth center starting at 4 p.m., Monday. The child development center needs people to read to children Wednesday at 2 p.m. Books on Hispanic heritage, food and other appropriate topics will be provided. Capt. Eric Garcia, Hispanic Heritage Committee member, said both children and staff are excited to have people participate in these events. “The kids have 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 Month will be a dance at Arnold Hall Oct. 29 from 6 p.m. to midnight. Food will be provided by the Hispanic Heritage Committee, and the cadet club Los Padrinos will have a DJ and dance lessons. Cadets, as well as active duty and other base personnel, are invited to attend. Lieutenant Fernandes says celebrating Hispanic Heritage is vital to those both within the military and outside of it. “Because Hispanic Americans make up less than seven percent of the Air Force’s population and less than four percent of our officers,we need to make sure that they and all minorities recognize they are important to the Air Force mission.” For tickets or more information on any of these events call Lieutenant Fernandes, Academy Public Affairs, at 333-7608. Traffic flow A few sporting events will impact Academy traffic flow Saturday.The Cheney King Bike Race (blue route) and 10K Run (green route) are from 7 a.m. to noon. The U.S. Olympic Committee Paralympics Bicycle Time Trials (red route) is from 2 - 4:30 p.m. Road guards will be placed at key intersections to control traffic. Be mindful and slow down when bike riders and runners are present. On A Budget?

Cadet 1st Class Marie NicholsonHutt and Cadet 1st Class Daniella Heller spent the day handing out maps, clue sheets, collecting money, registering participants, recruiting new members, answering a lot of basic orienteering questions and running through courses to pick up markers. Orienteering participants use a map and compass to locate a series of checkpoints shown on a specialized topographic map. The goal is to find all the checkpoints and get to the finish line in the shortest amount of time. Successful completion of a course requires good map reading skills in addition to overall physical fitness. Cadet Nicholson-Hutt started helping with the Rocky Mountain Orienteering Club last spring when she was looking for volunteer opportunities for her squadron. Last weekend’s meet in Black Forest was the second time they had participated as volunteers since their first meet in Boulder last spring. “I was looking through the Colorado Adventure magazine and saw the orienteering club and thought it would be a good thing to get cadets involved in,” said Cadet Nicholson-Hutt. “I thought they (the orineteering club) would like help from cadets who have been through survival training and have the skills necessary to navigate through the Colorado forests.” The Rocky Mountain Orienteering Club hosts 15-20 orienteering meets per year in Colorado. “The club aims to introduce the sport of orienteering to kids and adult beginners, as well as to provide challenging courses to more experienced orienteers,” said Brooke Mann, Black Forest meet director. “We host a multi-day national event every summer.” The Black Forest meet is specifically targeted at kids, families and beginners. The event organizers offered free beginner instruction, and free compasses and hats were provided to participants. The Black Forest meet is one of RMOC’s more popular events each year, with more than 80 participants coming out this year. • SII 09-4/2005, #12 – Flight Suits All personnel must be aware of required standards.

Under the new policy, servicemembers and civilian nonbargaining employees who log on to the myPay Web site are consenting to receive electronic copies of their documents. Bargaining unit civilians will be brought onto this system as soon as local negotiations are completed. MyPay is currently available to all servicemembers, Department of Defense civilian employees, and military retirees and annuitants. Although the policy applies to servicemembers and DoD civilians, the benefits of using myPay to eliminate identity theft associated with postal delivery of these statements also applies to retirees and annuitants for their 1099 tax statements. For many years, myPay has provided servicemembers and civilian employees with a secure method to view, print and save their LES, W-2 or 1099s electronically. Receipt of electronic documents eliminates risk associated with handdelivered mail. By using myPay to view and print statements, names, addresses and Social Security numbers are protected. The individual controls when the document is viewed and printed, and sensitive data is under his or her control at all times. This is particularly important for W-2s and 1099s, where the SSN cannot be masked because of Internal Revenue Service regulations. Besides obtaining electronic copies of LES and tax statements, customers can make adjustments to federal and state tax withholdings and update bank account and electronic transfers by accessing myPay. By Eddie Kovsky Academy Spirit staff The 2005 Combined Federal Campaign kicks off Tuesday, with a ceremony in the Arnold Hall ballroom. The campaign, which runs through Nov. 8, aims to increase donations by 5 percent and participation from 32 percent to 33 percent. Maj. Rebekah Friday, Academy CFC project officer, calculates that if every base employee contributes what they make in an hour, just once per month, the Academy will reach 100 percent of it’s goal. The CFC was established in 1961 and is the largest workplace charity campaign in the country. This annual fall fundraising drive allows nearly four million federal employees and servicemembers to contribute to thousands of local and national nonprofit organizations. Last year, federal employees and servicemembers donated a record-setting $257 million to the campaign. Contributions can be in cash, check or by payroll deduction. On average, one in four federal employees or their dependents will benefit from the campaign charities this year, CFC officials said. Donors may designate which charity, or charities, receives their money by filling out a pledge card. For more information, visit the CFC Web site at www.opm.gov/cfc.

The emergency leave transfer and the federal employee volunteer programs are two avenues civilian employees can take to do their part in helping hurricane victims. Through the emergency leave transfer program, Air Force civilian employees may donate unused annual leave for transfer to fellow employees adversely affected by the hurricane. Leave transfer recipients who need additional time off from work can then do so without having to use their own paid annual or sick leave. “This is a great opportunity for each of us to help fellow government civilians as they need time to care for a variety of family issues as a result of Hurricane Katrina,” said Greg Den Herder, Air Force Personnel Cadet arrested for alleged sexual assault Center executive director here. Emergency leave donors may contribute up to 104 hours of leave in a leave year, but they cannot contribute leave to a specific person. Donated annual leave not used by emergency leave recipients will be restored to emergency leave donors. Employees may volunteer to become emergency leave donors by submitting an Office of Personnel Management Form 1638 through their civilian personnel flight to the Air Force Personnel Center’s civilian field activities office. The form must state the specified number of hours of accrued annual leave to be transferred from their annual leave accounts to the leave program. In another effort to help hurricane victims, government civilian employees may also volunteer to help the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Hurricane Katrina efforts through the federal employee volunteer program. “Air Force civilians are already providing outstanding assistance 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 in this effort to overcome the effects of Hurricane Katrina.” Potential volunteers must receive permission from their chain of command to participate. Those who volunteer will likely face difficult working conditions while being exposed to potential dangers to their health and well-being. Volunteers should also expect to be deployed a minimum of 30 days to locations affected by Hurricane Katrina as determined by FEMA. Along with this awareness, supervisors must weigh the volunteer opportunity against costs to the unit. Volunteers’ units will continue to pay salary and benefit costs, including workers compensation costs if volunteer employees are injured. FEMA officials expect to pay additional travel, overtime and training costs, but owning organizations must be prepared to cover those costs until reimbursement is made. Interested civilian employees, with their supervisors’ permission, should contact their base civilian personnel office for more information. By the Academy Public Affairs Office cials by another cadet attending the party. An unknown number of other cadets were present in the residence at the time the alleged crime occurred. Alcohol was involved in the incident. Academy Office of Special Investigations officials are assisting the Fountain Police Department in a joint investigation into the incident. As in every case, the Academy’s leaders take any allegation of sexual assault very seriously and will fully cooperate with local authorities in their investigation.

Matt Gilreath 21st Space Wing Public Affairs Most college students are still sleeping at 5 a.m. Some might be getting up early to cram for an upcoming exam. That’s when some Academy students are preparing for an adrenaline rush only a few people can ever dream about. They are the men and women of the Wings of Blue parachute demonstration team. Technical Sgt. Jason Tepool, NCO-in-charge of the team, has been an instructor at the Academy for 15 months, but has been jumping for 17 years. He has more than 12,000 jumps to his credit. He said before the cadets get to step out of an airplane, they must first step into the aerospace physiology altitude chamber at Peterson Air Force Base. “We have to make sure the cadets can perform at the altitudes we jump at,” Sergeant Tepool said. “We have a couple of instructors who go down to Peterson to help out with cadet training and sometimes with the Army troops from Fort Carson who certify here. We don’t want anyone getting hurt.” Sergeant Tepool said once they get past the chamber, it’s off to jump school and opportunities to perform in front of millions of people. “We did our first jump Sept. 3 into Qwest Field up in Seattle for the Academy’s first game,” Sergeant Tepool said. “This year we’ll be jumping into the Insight, 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 school football games,” Sergeant Tepool said. “What a great recruiting tool. The cadets get a chance to talk with students and tell them what Academy life is like.” It was that same kind of event and wanting to follow in her father’s footsteps that motivated Cadet 1st 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 I was in high school and decided that is what I wanted to do.” Sergeant Tepool said making the team isn’t easy, out of an average of 200 applicants, only 25 make the cut. He said the freshmen and sophomores make up the team of hopefuls they affectionately call, the ‘Wings of Green.’ “There are 25 juniors and 25 seniors who make up the Wings of Blue,” Sergeant Tepool said. “They are the ones responsible for training the lower classman. It builds teamwork and our most important focus, character development and Airmanship.” With so many cadets wanting to learn how to jump, one of the most important functions is maintaining the parachutes. Mr. Steve Archuletta, parachute loft superintendent, said the loft has nine riggers and they keep 500 chutes online at once. “It’s a lot of work,” Mr. Archuletta said. “We have a lot of experience here between our civilian and military people. One of our most experienced guys, Bonz Alteri, is a former Golden Knight (Army elite parachute team).” With every stitch checked and automatic activation devices calibrated, the Wings of Blue board the plane with confidence. Sergeant Tepool said they look forward to new challenges and adventures. Photo by 2nd Lt. John Ross Perhaps one day, another little boy or girl Cadet 1st Class James Johnson III makes a pre-game may look to the sky and say, “That’s what I want touchdown in Seattle’s Qwest Field Sept. 3th as part of a Wings of Blue demonstration. to do.” 10 FEATURE Academy Spirit September 23, 2005 Cadet joins world power lifting elite By Wayne Amann Academy Spirit staff In Cadet Squadron 4, he’s known simply as the guy who lifts a lot of weight. Outside the Academy he’s recognized as the world’s third strongest 18-23-yearold. Cadet 2nd Class Mike Tuchscherer (pronounced too-sheer) finished third overall, in the field of more than 250, at the International Powerlifting Federation’s World 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 gold medal. Both were personal bests. His dead lift was 688.75 pounds. Tuchscherer’s showing helped the United States (58 points) finish second to Russia (70 points), in the 21team international field. The 270-pound junior management major’s three lift total of 2,011.25 pounds trailed only Alexey Pankov and Anton Kibiru of Russia who lifted 2,154.75 pounds and 2,089.25 pounds respectively, in the 243- to 275pound weight class. “They did what I thought they would do,” Tuchscherer said. “I knew it was going to be close. I’m one of those people gunning for first place all the time.” Five months earlier at the U.S. Powerlifting Collegiate 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 take first place in his weight class, the first cadet to do so in 17 years. Accomplishments and notoriety aside, the soft- Photo by Capt. William Owens Michael Tuchscherer, Cadet Squadron 4, prepares to squat at the 2005 U.S. Powerlifting Junior Nationals in April in Baton Rouge, La. spoken Hoosier is blazing a trail he hopes other studentlifters will follow under the Academy’s Fitness Club umbrella. “We try to make it as team oriented as possible, even though you’re on your own lifting,” the 20-yearold Tuchscherer explained. “I’m the cadet-in-charge of the team so I try to develop programs to help the junior athletes succeed. The freshmen and sophomores need a little more direction. I explain the ‘why’ of the programs to them.” The former high school football lineman plans to take the club members who want to compete to the Colorado State Championships in November in Denver, See POWER LIFTING, Page 11 CHARITY GOLF TOURNAMENT Where: Appletree Golf Course in Fountain, CO When: Friday, 7 October 0900 Shotgun Start Format: 4-Person Scramble Cost: Green fees, cart, range balls, BBQ and prizes all for $70 per person All proceeds go to AnySoldier.com website to buy items for OUR troops overseas Registration: Linda Marsh @ (719) 590-7984 or [email protected] (Registration ends 26 September) 11 Academy Spirit September 23, 2005 Power lifting From page 10 where he believes they’ll be competitive. “I’m excited about that,” he said. “Generally speaking, most cadets could do really well at a local competition because they’re pretty strong, at least in the bench press. We have some people who’ve been training hard. A couple may qualify for the collegiate nationals.” If they do, Academy backing will be instrumental to their success as Tuchscherer can attest. “Money is the big thing,” he said. “Without the support of the Association of Graduates and cadet clubs, it wouldn’t be possible. They financed my trips to Louisiana and Indiana. They picked up the tab for plane tickets, hotel rooms, the really big ticket items. I took care of Photo by C2C Ayana Floyd-James Michael Tuchscherer of Cadet Squadron 4 proudly wears the three medals he earned at the International Powerlifting Federation World Subjunior and Junior Powerlifting Championship. entry fees, membership, equipment costs and personal expenses. This leaves money for our younger competitors and other cadet clubs.” When Tuchscherer isn’t training three to five days a week, he’s an avid student of his sport. “I try to be as intense and as focused as possible in the gym, plus I do a lot of power lifting research on my own,” he pointed out. “Sometimes I struggle with my passion because my research conflicts with my homework. I have to get the school work done or else I can’t lift anymore. I find time to make it work.

Cadet Life: A day in aca By the Academy Spirit staff A random peek into Academy classrooms yields an incredible diversity of efforts and disciplines. In the Academy Astronautics Lab, two cadets were making a demonstration one morning earlier this month. Cadets 1st Class Mike Grant and Nicole Stenstad were showing Staff Sgt. Mickael Wickershien how to hook up FalconSAT-2’s umbilical for battery charging in the classroom. Not far away, Cadet 1st Class Rob Holland was hefting a block of aluminum. The new milling machine enables cadets to fabricate all of the mechanical structures for inhouse FalconSAT efforts. “The machine I placed it in can make it into almost any shape I need,” said the 21-year-old cadet majoring in astronautical engineering. The senior cadet said he is working at getting ahead of classes, trying to work more during the day than late at night. From languages to lasers, Academy classrooms and state of the art facilities and projects offer a daily flow of challenges and learning experiences. Cadet 1st Class Tyler Kimes, 21, Eden Prairie, Minn., was inspecting the antenna set up of FalconSAT-3’s qualification model. “We were trying to get a feel for the program that we just entered at the start of this semester, and getting right into it is the best way to learn,” said the astronautical engineering major. The Falcons football player said concentrating his focus and energy in Fairchild Hall’s Astro classes can be hard, but he keeps up with Lt. Col. Timothy Lawrence’s classes. “There are a lot of different things at the academy that all compete for a cadet’s time but it is important to push forward every day and devote your full attention to the present and not stress about what may be coming up,” said Cadet Kimes. “It makes for some long days and short nights of sleep but the end result is an engineering degree from one of the best programs in the nation, which puts me right where I want to be.” It’s all in a day of academics at the Academy for this cadet. “This is my senior year and I don’t have much time to myself, but playing division I football and getting my engineering degree will be the best experience of my life,” Cadet Kimes said. Cadets 4th Class Hunter Myers, James Burrows and Michelle Fryling were working an answer to a “limit” question in Maj. Lem Myers’ Math 141. That morning, Cadet Stenstad, 21, Woodbury, Minn., had a good feeling about what she was doing. “It’s awesome to know that my efforts will help send our satellites into space,” said the astronautical engineering major. “So many students don’t get such great ‘hands-on’ opportunities. I really want to succeed in this program. I feel like I’m making a worthwhile contribution and learning so much at the same time.” She said classes have become more challenging at the Academy. “I find that it is easier to succeed in classes that I can relate to and enjoy,” Cadet Stenstad said. “My Astro classes keep me busy, but interested. In less than a year my classmates and I will be taking part in real missions and that motivates me to learn all that I can now.” Cadet 1st Class Michael Cole was studying an unusual enzyme that stays stable at extreme temperatures, using molecular techniques to identify the gene that leads to production of the enzyme. In another Fairchild Hall classroom during the second hour, Cadet 3rd Class Beverly Broome, majoring in economics with a minor in Chinese, was immersed in Maj. Paul Howe’s Introduction to Chinese 131. They were writing new Chinese words 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 the bottom part is ‘strength,’ so a memory tool for this character could be ‘strength in the field equals man’.” Students began the class with little or no exposure to Chinese, said Maj. Howe. “This is a very challenging program because there are no individual letters like we have in the English language,” said Cadet Broome, 19, Springfield, Pa. “Each word has its own character to represent it.” Like other cadets, she was feeling the pressures of academic requirements “Sometimes it is very difficult to keep ahead with classes at the Academy because we all do so much,” Cadet Broome said. “I have intramurals, I play lacrosse, have to sit CQ (dorm admin. duty) and constantly have meetings to attend. I just try to stay organized.” Some classrooms away, students pored over the parts of a UAV in Lt. Col. Ricky Sward’s CS 453 Software Engineering I, the Computer Science Department’s year-long capstone course for computer science majors. Cadets 1st Class Jonathan Ball and Adrian deFreitas appeared intent on the UAV servos, batteries, power converters, autopilot, wiring antennae and other components. “The plane is initially controlled by the RC controller, then controlled by a computer through the autopilot,” the instructor told them. This year, 453’s project is to take video from a camera on board the UAV as it is flying, capture it on the ground and then have the video available in the command post.

Yaussi had his extra point attempt blocked by Nelson Mitchell, setting the stage for the seesaw finish. The Falcons out-gained Wyoming in total yardage 339 to 335, including 286 to 68 on the ground. Air Force still leads the all-time series 21-20-3. It was little consolation to a team whose 2005 motto “Every Day, Every Play” did not materialize in this outing. Air Force played Thursday at Utah, after press time. They face Colorado State Sept. 29 and visit Navy Oct. 8.

Entering the second annual All-Armed Forces Tournament Sept. 16 and Saturday at Clune Arena the Falcons had a seven match winning streak, and 9-1 alltime series lead over Army and an 8-0 all-time series advantage over Navy. The Black Knights and Midshipmen did an about-face, or at least put a halt to both trends, when they defeated the Falcons to prevent Air Force from repeating as tourney champions. Both finished the tournament with 2-0 match records but Army was awarded the title thanks to its 6-1 record in games compared to Navy’s 6-2 mark. Air Force was 12 and the Citadel 0-3 in match play. Navy downed the Falcons 3024, 22-30, 30-27 and 30-23, while Army rallied for a 26-30, 30-21, 30-23, 30-22 victory. Those setbacks were sandwiched around Air Force’s 30-28, 30-20, 30-29 sweep over the Citadel Bulldogs. The win was little consolation for the bluesuiters. “It hurts a lot to be beaten on your home court by them for the first time in the 10 years I’ve been here,” Falcon Head Coach Penny Photo by Danny Meyer Air Force outside hitter, Elizabeth Arrington, attacks the ball Saturday as Army’s Rachael Breinling, 7, and Abby Casiato, 2, attempt to block the shot. Lucas-White admitted. “I’ve got to give Army their due. They were well prepared and so was Navy.” Meanwhile, Air Force was not 100 percent healthy for the tourney. Kristin Hamlett, who was injured in the Sept. 13 match at the University of Northern Colorado, saw limited playing time against Navy and Army and didn’t appear at all against the Citadel. The 6’Escondido, Calif., senior entered the tournament leading the Falcons in kills (173), digs (92), blocked shots (18) and service aces (13). “She went down with a thirddegree right ankle sprain on the first play of the match,” LucasWhite explained. “She had treatment around the clock. Just to get her out there was huge. (The original prognosis had Hamlett out of action four to six weeks.) She’s the leader in everything for us.” Hamlett’s presence on the floor inspired her teammates in game one versus Army. Her block tied the score at 8. From there the Falcons reeled off five unanswered points including a back-to-back kill and service ace by Rebecca Gallegos. Army pulled within 19-16 when a Hamlett kill triggered a 10-4 Air Force run highlighted by a back-to-back kill and block by 6’ 2” sophomore Brooke Akers. “Kristin’s a big, strong force,” Akers said. “We do what we can to help her compensate for her injury, while keeping her in the game as long as possible.” Army rallied with six straight points before Gallegos’ third kill of the game won it. From there, the Black Knights took charge of the match. Falcon senior outside hitter Brianna Thomas’ kill tied game two at 4 before an Air Force error and six consecutive kills staked Army to an 11-4 lead they would never relinquish. Air Force could pull no closer than three points the rest of the way, eventually losing by nine. The Falcons led game three, 6-4, when Army’s Elizabeth Lazzari drilled the first of her game-high nine kills. The point ignited a 13-6 run forcing LucasWhite to call a time out. The respite didn’t matter. Air Force closed the gap to 2017 with a Carly Siefken kill before Army pulled away. Lazzari sandwiched two kills around an Air Force error to end it. Facing elimination in game four, Air Force got an Elizabeth Arrington kill to tie matters at 6. But, an Air Force error and three straight Army kills gave the Black Knights the lead for good. “I can’t say I was overjoyed by the way some of our kids stepped 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 Falcon write a two-page paper this week on what they can do, individually, not just to compete, but beat their opponents. Air Force dropped to 4-9 on the season following the tournament. Pennell, Hospital halt cops, grab flag lead By Wayne Amann Academy Spirit staff It was a boxing match without gloves, a 40-minute toe-to-toe bout. Two undefeated heavyweights, the 10th Medical Group and the 10th Security Forces Squadron, traded fiesty blows Tuesday hoping to claim undisputed first place in the Academy Intramural Flag Football League on Field #2. SFS was a two-point conversion away from tying the game at 14 with 1:20 left in regulation. Cops quarterback Rick Martin spotted Mike Wardingley open, just inside the end zone pylon, and fired. The Medic’s Drew Pennell broke up the pass at the last instant to protect the lead for the eventual 20-12 Hospital win. “That was the key play in the game,” Hospital coach Cordney Morehead acknowledged. “That preserved the victory for us.” The knockout punch came with :45 left. The Cops’ Scott Jacobson fielded a punt deep in his own territory. Just before getting ‘tackled’his lateral was intercepted by Luis Najar who ran it back for an insurance touchdown. “I knew he was going to run it to the outside and he was contained so I stayed back a little,” Najar said. “When he pitched it to the other return man, I stepped in and took it all the way. Special teams helped us out a lot.” The Medics defense provided an early spark by hurrying SFS quarterback Rick Martin into throwing three straight incompletions inside the Hospital 20-yard line on the game’s first possession. Hospital (5-0) took over on downs and capitalized. Quarterback Cyril Luster found Pennell circling out of the backfield and the Hickory, N.C., product raced down the left sideline for a 58-yard touchdown. “We planned on exploiting their secondary,” Pennell said. “I caught a little burst when I saw the goal line. I felt them getting a little close so I had to kick in the speed and leave them.” Pennell’s extra point made it 70. Another defensive stop inside SFS territory gave the Medics excellent field position at the Cops 35. A 30-yard Luster pass to Carl Jackson parked Hospital on the SFS 5. Following a sack, Luster scrambled to his left to escape a Scoreboard INTERCOLLEGIATE Men’s Soccer Sept. 16 Falcons Sept.18 Washington 1 UC-Davis 3 Falcons 2 1 Women’s Soccer Toys for Tots Tournament St. Louis, Mo.

Bowling heavy SFS rush and flipped the ball to Pennell, who beat two defenders to the goal line from 10 yards out. “We expected they would pressure us hard so I slid out of the pocket,” Luster explained. “Some scrambling is by design. A lot of it was by habit. We had to make them pay with big plays.” A second Pennell point-after catch ballooned the lead to 14-0, where it stood at halftime thanks to Luke Hopstad intercepting a Martin pass in the end zone just before the intermission. Security Forces (4-1) came out swinging after the break. Martin capped a drive by hitting Thomas Cheney from 5-yards out, Team MDG MSS DFC #1 10 SVS Comm LGR 10 SFS Pool Team CGR DFB DFB #2 10 SVS Golf * 10 MDOS AH Civilians DFCS DFC #2 10 MDSS *Must post-bowl one slicing the deficit to 14-6. The extra point failed, but the Cops weren’t through. After a Hospital punt, SFS drove. A key fourth down completion to Bill Allen, who was held in check by Luke Hopstad most of the game, set up Martin’s 15-yard return strike to Allen making it 1412 with 1:30 to play. That’s when Pennell stepped up defensively. Round two of this AIFFL series is slated for Oct. 11 and the regular season title may hang in the balance. “I figured the championship would go through us, the Cops or the Prep School,” Morehead said. “Right now it’s ours to give away.” Thru Sept. 19 W 20 16 16 14 14 14 14 14 12 12 12 12 10 10 10 8 6 2 week.

Fundraiser Tracking bomb threats The first step in tracking bomb threats is to use the Air Force Form 440 (the yellow bomb threat reporting card next to every phone) to record the threat. All government phones should have this card next to them. After the threat has been made and the caller hangs up, these steps should be followed: —Hang up the phone, pick it back up and dial *57 (this marks the incoming phone number to help with the trace.) — Listen for two quick tones and then hang up the phone. — Call security forces at 911 or 3332000/2001 to report the threat. The last two steps are not printed on the current AF Form 440 because they are specific to the Academy. Employees should pencil in the last two steps on the bottom of the front of the card.
