By John Van Winkle Academy Public Affairs

The Academy’s professors are the most accessible to their students in the nation, according to The Best 361 Colleges text, released Monday by the Princeton Review.

Only about 15 percent of the four-year colleges in America are in the book. It has two-page profiles on the schools and student survey- based ranking lists of top 20 colleges in 64 categories. The Academy also came out in several top-10 rankings in the nation, including: #1 Don’t Inhale #2 Stone-Cold Sober Schools #2 Everyone Plays Intramural Sports Photo by James Lovely #3 Lots of Race/Class Interaction Song sung “Tops In” Blue #3 Jock Schools #4 Scotch and Soda, Hold the Scotch Vocalist and Senior Airman Aisha Smith, from Nellis AFB, Nev., leads the 52nd edition of Tops In Blue in a tune, Aug. 18, in the Arnold Hall Theater.

The agenda behind Saturday’s Fire Department. Open House held at Fire Station #1 was anything but scorching. It aimed at educating base residents and employees on the issues and risks associated with fire hazards, said Mr. Dennis Chaltry, Academy assistant fire chief. “It gave people the opportunity to visit the fire station and see the equipment we use,” he said. Base residents slept well during the past year thanks to an aggressive fire prevention and education program, which restulted in no fires in base housing. However, that doesn’t mean the ever vigilant 50 civilians and 27 military members were idle. “We continue to experience vehicle fires on Interstate 25 and small grass and dumpster fires throughout the Academy,” said the assistant fire chief. “We respond to approximately 400 medical emergencies each year, as well as more than 300 car accidents. We protect Interstate 25 between the south and north gates.” Seemingly, fire prevention efforts never stop. On-going base-wide annual fire inspections by fire inspec-

Saturday boasted free hot dogs, chips and lemonade, with a barbeque stoked at 11 a.m. that went until everyone was fed. A puppet show was presented three times, with fire fighters Frank and Eddie low crawling in smoke and fire drills. Fireman Frank and Stan offered march safety and stop, drop and roll performances. There were helium balloons, fire safety tapes and DVDs. The dive rescue boat, hazardous material trailer and other trucks and emergency displays were nearby. The assistant chief would not disclose names of puppeteers, nor the well known costumed characters, but Sparky the Fire Dog and Smokey the Bear were available for high-fives, hugs and photos. Was the open house primarily for the kids? “No, certainly not!” said assistant fire chief Chaltry. “Open house is for base residents of all ages.” This year, a new “Youth Fire Safety Camp” with education for attendees in the morning was added, complete with a bucket brigade, hose roll and fire stream contest. “This is the culmination of our fire education program for the year,” said Academy Fire and Emergency Services chief Mr. Ernst Piercy. “It’s a fun time for children of all ages. You learn something while you’re here.” Jakari Smith sits in drivers seat while firefighter Staff Sgt. Dustin Nelson talks with him.

K-9 unit adds new member There’s a new furry face running around the kennels. Hauss, a 10-month-old German short haired pointer, is the newest member of the 10th Security Forces Squadron K-9 Unit. The American Legion purchased the dog for the Academy, who just arrived from Bennett, Colo. Hauss will spend two months at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas, where his handlers will deter- mine if he can be trained before certifying him. Until he finishes training at Lackland, he’s only a candidate to become a military working dog. “He’s not nervous around people or the other dogs barking, which is a good sign for a new dog,” said Staff Sgt. Kristopher Evers, military working dog handler. “Right now we’re waiting to get his medical screening cleared before we send him to Lackland.” The American Legion will have the honor of renaming Hauss when he is cleared for training. Hauss fills the slot left by Ginger, who died in July. The military working dog program was established as part of the post-9/11 security increase on the Academy. Ginger was the third dog here, and the first dog the K-9 unit has lost.

First class, second class and third class cadets are expected to have matured into leadership roles and are not required to carry forms but remain subject to this form of documentation for correction or excellence. All members assigned to the 34th Training Wing, Dean of the Faculty, and Athletic Department are authorized to use the Form 341 system. Cadets are authorized to complete a Form 341 for a cadet in the same class or lower. The completed Form 341 will be sent to the cadet squadron operations officer by the reporting agent via distribution. (This address would be CWS-XX/DO.
