Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A former New York Times reporter's year behind the scenes at the scandal-ridden Air Force Academy Diana Jean Schemo covered the Air Force Academy's sexual assault scandal in 2003, one of a series of academy embarrassments that have included drug use, rape complaints, and charges of evangelical officers pushing Christianity on cadets of all faiths. Today, the institution is in flux—a fascinating time to look at the changes being made and the experience of today's cadets. Schemo followed a handful of academy cadets through the school year. From the admissions process and punishing weeks of basic training to graduation, she shares the triumphs and tribulations of the cadets and the struggle of the academy's leaders to set their embattled alma mater on a straighter path. Follows cadets in all grades, with insights on day-to-day academy life and training Written by a veteran reporter, two-time foreign correspondent and Pulitzer Prize nominee, with excellent contacts at the academy Includes 38 black-and-white photographs Like David Lipsky's successful Absolutely American: Four Years at West Point, this book offers a fascinating window on the training of our military today. But Schemo's book updates the story: the seniors were the first class to sign up after the attacks of 9/11, and the road to graduation, this time, leads to an America at war.

Download or read book Doolie written by Gene H Davis and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-12 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fictional historical novel tells the story of the last Air Force Academy class to spend its entire first year at Lowry Air Force Base, Denver, Colorado before the new site opened in Colorado Springs. Seen through the eyes of a cadet, the story is based on cadet "letters home." The Class had the last with Air Force Officer Upperclassmen and first with 1959 and 1960 cadet upperclassmen. The "Toughest School in America's" first year Fourth Class (Freshman) System weaned the cadet from parental ties and gave him the self-discipline necessary meet the four-year challenges required to become a United States Air Force Officer. The Third Academy Class lived a history that will never be repeated. The Class of 1961 was the last trained under the watchful eyes of young US Air Force Officer "upperclassmen." The West Point, Naval Academy, and Citadel graduates assumed the role of upperclassmen to the "Doolies," a sarcastic name for New Cadets. The physical, mental, and spiritual demands on these selected young men are chronicled in the novel. The trials, tribulations, and triumphs of the New Cadets, detailed in letters home, create the historical basis for the book. Classmates Art Kerr, Terry Storm, and Ad Thompson provided the "letters home" in a book by Robert Heriza entitled Man's Flight through Life. The Epilog details the myriad achievements of the men who completed the Academy program. Most of the 214 who graduated with the class completed a military career where they provided leadership in combat, military organizations, and other national endeavors. Following military service, graduates pursued careers as commercial pilots or industry managers, as lawyers and judges, or in roles in educational institutions. Doolie is an up-close and personal look at the life of these earliest AF Academy cadets. General Lee Butler, a Commander of Strategic, observed the following: "Gene hit upon the engaging approach of interweaving letters home from classmates with his own narrative of an intense socialization process designed to turn boys into men. Chronicling this unrelenting grind in excruciating detail while sustaining keen anticipation of events in the daily life of a Doolie some 60 years ago is a truly remarkable achievement, but anyone who has lived through a long period of separation from family and friends can relate to it. Carry on, then, dear reader, but fasten your emotional seat belt: this is a wild ride to come."

Book excerpt: “For my money, John Robb, a former Air Force officer and tech guru, is the futurists' futurist.” --"Slate" The counterterrorism expert John Robb reveals how the same technology that has enabled globalization also allows terrorists and criminals to join forces against larger adversaries with relative ease and to carry out small, inexpensive actions--like sabotaging an oil pipeline--that generate a huge return. He shows how combating the shutdown of the world's oil, high-tech, and financial markets could cost us the thing we've come to value the most--worldwide economic and cultural integration--and what we must do now to safeguard against this new method of warfare.

Download or read book Here s What We ll Say written by Reichen Lehmkul and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 2007-10-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reichen Lehmkuhl is perhaps best known for the ambition, intelligence, and athleticism that won him the grand prize on CBS's Amazing Race. Since winning the million-dollar prize, Lehmkuhl has gone on to find success acting in film and television. However, he played the biggest role of his life long before his professional acting debut, when he was forced to hide his sexuality to comply with the Air Force's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. Here's What We'll Say tells the harrowing inside story of what happens when cadets who are committed to serving their nation's military figure out that they are in fact gay. With no way out and no place to turn for protection, a new code of conduct emerged among gay and lesbian cadets that helped ensure their safety. Gathering secretly in various locations, cadets formed a hidden network. To guarantee the privacy of individuals in attendance, however, each meeting opened with, "Here's what we'll say…" — a pledge so sacred that the group had it inscribed on the inside of their class rings.
Download or read book Sierra Hotel flying Air Force fighters in the decade after Vietnam written by and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2001 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In February 1999, only a few weeks before the U.S. Air Force spearheaded NATO's Allied Force air campaign against Serbia, Col. C.R. Anderegg, USAF (Ret.), visited the commander of the U.S. Air Forces in Europe. Colonel Anderegg had known Gen. John Jumper since they had served together as jet forward air controllers in Southeast Asia nearly thirty years earlier. From the vantage point of 1999, they looked back to the day in February 1970, when they first controlled a laser-guided bomb strike. In this book Anderegg takes us from "glimmers of hope" like that one through other major improvements in the Air Force that came between the Vietnam War and the Gulf War. Always central in Anderegg's account of those changes are the people who made them. This is a very personal book by an officer who participated in the transformation he describes so vividly. Much of his story revolves around the Fighter Weapons School at Nellis Air Force Base (AFB), Nevada, where he served two tours as an instructor pilot specializing in guided munitions.
Download or read book The Profession of Arms written by Sir John Hackett and published by MacMillan Publishing Company. This book was released on 1983 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I read this book on the recommendation from a fellow officer in order to gain a better historical perspective of the military profession. This book develops the lineage from Armies of the ancient world to today's modern Armies in a rather concise and insightful manner. Sir John Hackett focuses a lot on the relationship between the military forces and the countries they represent on the battlefield. He also offers some interesting opinions about training future leaders in the Armed Services based on his vast military experience and career. I thoroughly enjoyed this book (it has many interesting photos and prints throughout the text), although it is written from a European (the author is British) perspective. The author does devote some time to the US Army, but his main focus is the European military system. Therefore, if you are looking for a book about how the American Army has changed over time, I do not recommend this one. On the other hand, I do recommend this book for anyone wanting to learn more about how the profession of arms has developed over time. It would make a fine addition to your military history library if you have one, or serve as a great first addition, if you are thinking of starting one. -- website.
