Superintendent
"The Air Force Academy is a challenging environment by design.
Our mission is to inspire and develop outstanding young men and women
to become Air Force officers with knowledge, character and discipline;
motivated to lead the world's greatest aerospace force in service
to the nation. This website describes many of the ways we accomplish
that mission. Academics, athletics, professional military training,
and social activities play a big part. But the most important part
of our program is the individual cadet's commitment to hard work,
individual and team excellence, development of leadership skills,
unquestioned integrity, and strong character. The demands are tough,
the rewards are many, and successful completion means becoming an
officer in the world's most respected aerospace force!"
