an officer senior to your instructor enters the room during a lecture, do not call the room. Non-Cadets –
are not required to come to attention, but please stand along with your classmates for uniformity.
4. Uniform: Uniform wear is not mandatory for each class period (but dress will be according to the
Commander’s discretion). When giving a formal presentation, cadets are required to wear service dress.
5. Cell phones: Cell phones are not allowed in the classroom. There will be a designated place for you
to leave them while in class. This is to simulate a real military briefing environment.
Assignments:
Air Power Project: This project allows you to explore an area of interest in greater depth than covered in
class. You will write a 1-page talking paper (in correct format from The Tongue and Quill) on an air
power topic. The topic of your paper will also be the subject for a 3-5 minute presentation to the class.
The choice of topic is largely up to you, but it must be relevant to the historical period we discuss and I
must approve it. Former students have explored such issues as the ethical implications of the atomic
bombing of Japan; the development of the P-51 Mustang, a World War II-era fighter plane, to name a
few.
NOTE: New AS 100 cadets will give a 1-minute impromptu briefing in lieu of the 3-5 minute
presentation. More details will follow in class.
