Mr. Chuck Alfultis, 10th Mission Support Group’s Outdoor Recreation Center director, and Mr. Ed Ainsworth, Academy Golf Club, received the trophies at the Air Force’s Services Worldwide Conference in Keystone, Colo., June 14. Outdoor recreation won the same award in 1996 and Mr. Alfultis shared some thoughts about why the Academy wins. “There are three key factors that make for an outstanding outdoor recre- ation program,” he said. “They are base location, facility and staff. First, we are located in an area with an abundance of outdoor recreational opportunities. Second, we are centrally located on the Academy and have the space to accom- modate the storage of our more than $2 million worth of equipment and supplies.

  • Student Design, Development, and Operations of Small Satellites At
    Session 3202 Student Design, Development and Operations of Small Satellites at the United States Air Force Academy Kenneth E. Siegenthaler, Jerry J. Sellers, David J. Richie, and Timothy J. Lawrence Department of Astronautics United States Air Force Academy Abstract The FalconSAT program is a unique, dynamic small-satellite research program that serves as a capstone course for Astronautical Engineering majors at the United States Air Force Academy. The goal of the program is to give students the opportunity to “learn space by doing space.” The program results in a satellite launched into space every two to three years. It is conducted in the same manner required of any civilian company delivering a satellite for a NASA/Air Force launch. In addition to the design and construction of the satellites, students must meet all of the Department of Defense (DoD) milestones, including preparing and briefing the Alternative Systems Review (ASR), Preliminary Design Review (PDR), Critical Design Review (CDR), and Product Acceptance Demonstration (PAD). These reviews are given to and evaluated by members of the civilian aerospace community and scientists and engineers from U.S. Air Force space organizations outside of the Academy. Each student is required to become familiar with the functioning of the payload and all of the subsystems. The average student participates in design, clean-room construction, shake and bake-out testing, ground station operations, program management, and presents review briefings during the two-semester course. The students also prepare and brief the proposed experimental payload briefings to the DoD Space Experiments Review Board (SERB), competing on a level playing field with all of the other civilian and military proposals.

  • Cadet Standards and Duties Instruction
    BY ORDER OF THE AIR FORCE CADET WING INSTRUCTION 36-3501 COMMANDANT OF CADETS 12 AUGUST 2020 Personnel CADET STANDARDS AND DUTIES COMPLIANCE WITH THIS INSTRUCTION IS MANDATORY ACCESSIBILITY: Publications and forms are available on CWVV SharePoint site. RELEASABILITY: There are no restrictions on release of this publication. OPR: CWVV Certified by: CWV (Col Clarence W. Lukes) Supersedes: All previous AFCWIs & AFCWGMs Pages: 277 The importance of the Air Force’s mission and inherent responsibility to the Nation requires its members to follow higher standards than those expected in civilian life. As Airmen, we are proud of our high standards. Through self-discipline, we adhere to them, and we hold our fellow Airmen accountable to follow our standards. This is part of who we are and what we do as members of the Profession of Arms. Prior to entering the Cadet Wing, each cadet takes two solemn oaths; the Oath of Office and the Honor Oath. Both of these include a commitment to perform one’s duty; “… I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter,” and “Furthermore, I resolve to do my duty and to live honorably, (so help me God).” The Cadet Standards Instruction codifies the duties of a cadet at the Air Force Academy. This instruction implements AFPD 36-35, United States Air Force Academy and AFPD 36-29, Military Standards. It applies to cadets assigned to the Air Force Cadet Wing (AFCW), and Cadet Wing (CW) personnel identified within this instruction. It is written to foster an environment in which each cadet's duty concept is developed and strengthened through the Officer Development System (ODS).
