Lt Gen Hopper was my AOC and was an amazing leader and mentor. I learn so many life lessons my senior year with him. Pleased to see him as a DG.

I hope to be there for the class of 2031 to major in Aeronautical Engineering and a minor in Airpower studies in order to become a tanker pilot. I have many Airmen in my family, and if I go here, I’ll be the first officer in my family!

As a young Cadet in the early 1980's the roof dripped on those sitting inside the chapel. SOM did the whole Academy design from the outset.

der general ist der netteste mensch den ich im internet kennen gelernt habe. darum hatte ich mich auch in ihn verliebt, seit gestern weis ich das er immer noch mit seiner frau betty zusammen ist, es war traurig für mich, aber gleichzeitig freue ich mich, das ich mich nicht in ihn getäuscht habe. wünsche den beiden noch viele glückliche jahre zusammen. liebe güße brigitte

These young people seem bright and positive but I'm concerned not one stated they want to be a war fighter. Is the warrior ethos and focus gone from this premier military leader school? It can not be advertised as another top university. It is a military academy! Fly fight and win! or live in Tyranny.

At the 1:39 mark, unfortunately the new Vice Supt got both the wrong year and base where the very first soon-to-be cadets (in the Class of 1959) showed up. The year was 1955 (not 1954) and the base was Lowry AFB (not Loring AFB).

@@stevecasselman152 I was stationed at Udorn from Sep 1966 to Sep 1967. All of the HH-3E helicopters we had in our squadron had external fuel tanks. I have pictures to back up this. None had in flight refueling capabilities. I was a crew chief and flight engineer. If you do some research you will find this helicopter that is on display at Colorado Springs indeed does have external fuel tanks along with the refueling probe.
