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. Faye

Cadets and academics 

8-year-old joins Academy 

By Academy Public Affairs 

The Academy’s newest 

cadet is only 8 years old and 

arrived for “duty” Sept. 16. 

His name is Tyler 

Trevarton of Broomfield, 

Colo. 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. Through the 

Make-A-Wish Foundation, 

the program provides young 

people facing life-threatening 

medical challenges the opportunity 

to make a wish come 

true.

Support Academy, not criticize 

By Kay Granger 

Texas Congresswoman and Board of Visitors member 

I feel compelled to bring to your attention a matter 

of national concern. 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 

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

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 

out with friends at a restaurant, club or someone’s 

house. 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

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. 

Afghanistan. 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. 

Each day, I strive to reflect the privilege to serve 

along side you, men and women of character.

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

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

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

Web site educates work force on Constitution, citizenship 

American Forces Press Service 

WASHINGTON – The Defense Department developed 

a new way for its employees to learn more about 

the Constitution and citizenship as part of the national 

attention on both this week. 

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, 

Traffic flow 

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. 

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.

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.

save their LES, W-2 or 1099s electronically. 

Receipt of electronic documents 

eliminates risk associated with handdelivered

protected. 

The individual controls when the

Academy sets bar 

high for CFC ’05 

By Eddie Kovsky 


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.

Civilians have ways to help Katrina survivors 

Air Force Print News 

RANDOLPH AFB, Texas — In the aftermath of 

Hurricane Katrina, many Americans want to do whatever 

they can to help those directly affected, and now 

government civilians have some opportunities to help 

in the effort. 

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,” 

By the Academy Public Affairs Office 

A third class cadet was arrested Monday by 

Fountain, Colo., police and charged with sexual assault 

in the first degree. 

He was released on bail Tuesday, and has resumed 

classes and regular duties. 

The alleged incident occurred overnight, Saturday 

and Sunday, Sept. 10-11, during a party involving 

20-30 people at a private residence in Fountain. 

It was reported to Academy security forces offi- 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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. 

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.

Wings of Blue catch air 

By Tech. Sgt. 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

touchdown in Seattle’s Qwest Field Sept. 3th as part of a 

Wings of Blue demonstration. 

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. 

Perhaps one day, another little boy or girl 

may look to the sky and say, “That’s what I want 

to do.”

Cadet joins world power lifting elite 

By Wayne Amann 


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-

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,

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

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. It’s a 

balancing act.” 

Motivation has never been 

a concern for Tuchscherer. 

“I’ve always been into the 

weight lifting. Getting stronger 

was the main reason for 

getting into the gym,” he emphasized. 

“When you leave the gym you know 

you’re stronger than the day before. It’s 

one of those natural highs people experience 

and talk about.” 

Tuchscherer’s game plan is to win the 

Collegiate Nationals around mid-April 

of 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,” Tuchscherer 

predicted. “I plan to do a lot of big 

things. I keep a paper with all my longer 

term powerlifting goals. I’d like to break 

some more records and do some really 

cool things in the sport.” 

So far – mission accomplished.

Cadet 2nd Class Drew Tullson works on a Physics 499 independent research project in the laser lab; aligning test optics to evaluate a next generation 

space telescope concept. The class is designed to teach cadets the techniques and practices for carrying out experimental lab work. 

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.

Arena Falcons gift wrap game for Wyoming 



The Mountain West Conference billed the 

game as Air Force vs. the University of 

Wyoming. In reality, the Falcons battled the 

Cowboys and themselves – and lost to both. 

An afternoon marred by inconsistent 

play caught up to Air Force Saturday at 

Falcon Stadium when Wyoming quarterback 

Corey Bramlet’s 1-yard touchdown run, and 

Deric Yaussi’s successful extra point, gave the 

Cowboys a 29-28 lead with 1:25 left in the 

fourth quarter. 

In football, 85 seconds can be an eternity 

if managed properly. 

The Falcons took the ensuing kickoff at 

their own 20-yard line and fired three incomplete 

passes. On fourth down, Air Force wide 

receiver Jason Brown caught a clutch 15-yard 

aerial from quarterback Shaun Carney to 

keep the outcome in doubt. After halfback 

Chad Smith ran for six yards, Carney threw 

toward the Falcon sideline where Wyoming 

free safety John Wendling intercepted with 

:48 left to ground the Air Force comeback 

bid. 

The pick-off symbolized nagging Air 

Force mistakes that kept Wyoming in the 

game. The Falcons fumbled three times and 

lost one. They were intercepted twice. They 

were whistled for eight penalties totaling 50 

yards. The kicking game was inconsistent at 

best. 

What proved to be the most telling miscue 

came with 3:27 to play in the game. Carney 

appeared to put the Falcons ahead for good 

with an 18-yard touchdown strike to Brown 

for a 28-22 lead. What normally is a formality, 

the extra point, became a misadventure when 

holder Danny Heaton couldn’t cleanly handle 

a high snap from center Bryan Jones. Heaton’s 

dash to the end zone fell short. 

Bramlet and company took full advantage 

on their ensuing drive. In just six plays 

they marched 65 yards in 1:54 to recapture 

the lead and the win. 

“That was a great, great college football 

game,” a disappointed Air Force head coach 

Fisher DeBerry said. “We let it slip away. We 

should have won. You’ve got to make plays 

throughout the game. We didn’t make them 

down the stretch at the end. That hurt us a 

great deal. We said earlier in the week if we 

didn’t do something about fumbling it was 

going to bite us in the rear, and it did.” 

Air Force (2-1, 1-1 MWC) pleased the 

overwhelming majority in the 

crowd of 41,240 late in the 

first quarter, when Carney 

capped a 79-yard, 13-play 

drive with a 1-yard touchdown 

run. Scott Eberle’s extra 

point made it 7-0. It marked 

the first time this season the 

Falcons took the first lead in 

a game. It was short lived. 

Wyoming (2-1, 1-0 

MWC) quickly countered on 

its next possession as Bramlet 

burned the Air Force 

secondary with a 63-yard 

touchdown bomb to wide 

receiver Jovon Bouknight. 

Earlier in the quarter the 

senior wide-out from Denver 

caught a modest 8-yard pass, 

giving him 39 straight games 

with a catch, a streak that 

leads the nation. 

“That one big play hurt 

us,” Falcon cornerback Chris 

Sutton admitted. “I can take 

some blame for that. Overall 

our defense played a heck of 

a game. It comes down to 

making plays at certain times. 

They made the right plays at 

the right times.” 

The Cowboys, tying touchdown started 

a string of 16 unanswered points, including 

three field goals by Yaussi that staked 

Wyoming to 16-7 cushion late in the third 

quarter. 

Air Force rallied behind halfbacks Justin 

Handley and Chad Hall. Each delivered the 

first Falcon touchdowns of their careers. 

Handley’s was a 1-yard sprint in the third 

Air Force wide receiver Jason Brown reaches in vain for a pass between Wyoming 

free safety John Wendling, 23, and cornerback Terrance Butler, 3, during the 

Falcons last ditch drive Saturday.

quarter while Hall motored 16 yards on the 

second play of the fourth quarter. 

“It was exciting (to score) but I’d much 

rather have a win,” a somber Hall said. 

“Shaun made a good read, pitched to me, and 

I did what they taught us in practice, make 

one guy miss. I was lucky enough to do it.” 

Following Hall’s score, DeBerry opted 

for the two-point conversion featuring offensive 

tackle Robert Kraay. Carney’s pass to the 

6-8, 295 pound lineman worked. 

“I was surprised when Shaun returned 

to the huddle with a grin,” Kraay said. “We 

practiced 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 a 

Falcon fumble in their own territory opened 

the door for Wyoming running back Wynel 

Seldon to cap a five-play, 30-yard drive with 

a 2-yard touchdown run. 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. The Utah and CSU 

meetings mark the first time in Air Force 

history the Falcons will play back-to-back 

Thursday night games. 

“It’s fun to get a break from the 

Academy,” Carney said. “Getting into a hotel 

and sleeping in a big bed you don’t have to 

make in the morning is always nice.”

Air Force grounded in All-Armed Forces tourney 



The Air Force volleyball team 

painfully learned all good things 

come to an end. 

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 1- 

2 and the Citadel 0-3 in match 

play. 

Navy downed the Falcons 30- 

24, 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 

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,” Lucas- 

White 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 Lucas- 

White to call a time out. The respite 

didn’t matter. 

Air Force closed the gap to 20- 

17 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 



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 7- 

0. 

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

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, 

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 14- 

12 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.”

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 333- 

2000/2001 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.
