the air force academy

Air Force Men’s Tennis 4

The United States Air Force Academy offers a four-year program of instruction and experi-ence designed to educate, train and inspire men and women to become officers of character, motivated to lead the United States Air Force in service to our nation. Each cadet graduates with a bachelor of science degree and a commission as a second lieutenant in the Air Force.

Course of Study Cadets are exposed to a balanced curriculum that provides the knowledge, skills and respon-sibilities essential to a career Air Force officer. The entire USAFA experience is integrated and mapped to achieve a set of desired outcomes in every graduate. The core academic curriculum includes courses in basic sciences, engineering, social sciences and humanities. Cadets take additional elective courses to complete requirements for one of 31 major areas of study. About 50 percent of the cadets complete majors in science and engineer-ing; the remainder graduate in the social sciences and humanities. Some of the most popular majors include management, aeronautical engineering, foreign area studies, history, behavioral science, civil engineering, astronautical engineering, elec-trical engineering and engineering mechanics.

Faculty Composition The majority of the Academy’s faculty mem-bers, more than 500 total, are Air Force officers. They are selected primarily from career-officer volunteers who have established outstanding re-cords of performance and dedication. Each has at least a master’s degree and more than 55 percent have doctorates or other terminal degrees in their field of study. About 30 percent of the faculty are civilians who bring great depth of disciplinary and edu-cational expertise and provide academic stability and continuity. Faculty members are intensely focused on cadet learning as an integral part of their officer development. The Air Force Academy has been ranked No. 1 in the nation for the most acces-sible and involved faculty. To provide greater contributions by a diverse faculty, the Academy has several distinguished visiting professors and endowed professors who serve one or more years. Officers from other ser-vices, as well as officers from allied countries are also members of the faculty. Distinguished civilian and military lecturers also share their expertise with the cadets during the academic year.

Athletic Program The Academy’s athletic program is designed to improve physical fitness, teach athletic skills and develop leadership qualities. To achieve its goals, the Academy offers some of the most extensive physical education, intramural sports and inter-collegiate athletic programs in the nation. Cadets take at least three different physical education courses each year.

Military Education and Training An air, space and cyberspace-oriented mili-tary education, training and leadership program begins with basic cadet training and continues throughout the four years. Seniors are respon-sible for the organizational leadership of the cadet wing, while juniors and sophomores seek to develop team and interpersonal leadership and instructional skills. Cadets are projected into as many active leadership roles as possible to pre-pare them to be effective Air Force officers. Fundamental concepts of military organiza-tion -- drill, ethics, honor, Air Force heritage and physical training -- are emphasized the first sum-mer during basic cadet training. Freshmen then study the military role in United States society as well as the mission and organization of the Air Force. Sophomores receive instruction in commu-nication skills and juniors study the combat and operational aspects of the Air Force. The Academy offers courses in flying, naviga-tion, soaring and parachuting, building from basic skills to instructor duties. Some cadets may fly light aircraft with the Cadet Flying Team. Summer training for cadets is divided into three, three-week training periods. There are a variety of programs available and each cadet is required to complete two training periods each summer with leave during the other period. All new cadets take six weeks of basic cadet training in their first summer. Combat survival training is a required three-week program during cadets’ second summer. For other second-summer training periods, ca-dets have options such as working with Airmen in an operational unit at an Air Force installation, airborne parachute training, soaring or basic free-fall parachute training. During their last two summers, all cadets are offered leadership training as supervisors or in-structors in the summer programs listed above. Extracurricular activities also are an integral part of the education program. The cadet ski club, drum and bugle corps, cadet chorale and foren-sics are a few of the programs available.

Nominations Nominations to the Academy may be obtained through a congressional sponsor or by meeting eligibility criteria in other categories of com-petition established by law.

History of The Academy

In 1948, a board of leading civilian and military educators was ap-pointed to plan the curric-ulum for an academy that would meet the needs of the newly established Air Force. The board de-termined that Air Force requirements could not be met by expanding the other service academies and recommended an Air Force Academy be estab-lished without delay.

In 1949, then Secretary of the Air Force W. Stuart Symington appointed a commission to assist in selecting a site and on April 1, 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower authorized creation of the United States Air Force Academy. After considering 580 sites in 45 states, the commission narrowed the choice to three locations. The sum-mer of 1954, Secretary of the Air Force Harold Tal-bott selected a site near Colorado Springs, Colo. Colorado contributed $1 million toward purchase of the property.

In July 1955, the first Academy class entered in-terim facilities at Lowry Air Force Base, Denver, while construction began. It was sufficiently completed for occupancy by the cadet wing in late August 1958. Initial construction cost was $142 million.

Women entered the Academy on June 28, 1976, as members of the class of 1980.

director of athletics jim knowlton

Air Force Men’s Tennis 6

Jim Knowlton begins his sec-ond full year as the director of athletics at the Air Force Acad-emy. Knowlton joined the Academy as the 11th director of athletics on March 22, 2015. He oversees 27 intercollegiate

varsity sports, physical education, intramu-rals and all physical testing and evaluation at the Academy. Knowlton’s fi rst year at the Academy was tremendously successful. The Falcons celebrated a school-best Learfi eld Direc-tor’s Cup standing of 52nd which led the Mountain West for the fi rst time in school history and was tops among the three serive academies for the fi fth straight year. Air Force celebrated fi ve confer-ence championships (men’s cross country, men’s indoor and outdoor track, men’s swimming and diving and lacrosse) which tied as the most in a single year in Acad-emy history. A school-record 11 coaches were named coach of the year and 45 cadet-athletes earned All-American status, the best in school history. The Acad-emy had four multi-sport All-Americans, including two fi rst-ever Divison I women’s All-American honorees, and three athletes earn trips to the Olympic Trials. Senior marksman David Higgins became the fi rst to earn a spot on an Olympic team as a cadet, earning a spot on the shooting team. Several other inititiaves were started that have the athletic department on the move. The athletic department vision has been put into a strategic plan that is in step with the Academy’s intent and post-ed on the athletic’s website. In addition, Knowlton has furthered the department’s culture of excellence and developed a culture and climate offi cer that has met with all 27 intercollegiate teams to teach healthy relationship training. An athletic department reorganization incorporated the department’s non-profi t entity, the Air Force Academy Athletic Corporation (AFAAC), into the department easing processes and improving communication. The two worked together to extend the department’s Nike contract which doubled the fi nancial support received from the previous contract for athletics. One of the primary emphasis areas has been community outreach and the department has moved forward in several areas. A fan engagement committee was formed and athletic department staff and coaches have been active in the commu-

nity speaking to special interest groups. The department moved a ticket and merchandise store to downtown Colorado Springs and the football team’s annual spring game was played at Fountain Fort Carson High School, bringing military leaders from Peterson Air Force Base and Fort Carson Army Base together with the Academy leadership. The department announced the fi rst of a concert series in Falcon Stadium with Tim McGraw headlining a star-studded event in September. Several more are in the works, along with several other special event attractions to the base. One of the most noticable improvements to the fan experience is a new video board at Falcon Stadium. The new board is the largest in the conference and among the service academies. Knowlton led several initiatives that have benefi ted all cadets, in addition to incollegiate athletes. The department started the Falcon Fuel program, install-ing re-fueling stations outside weight rooms for all 4,000 cadets at the Academy. Cadets can refuel their bodies before and after workouts with healthy snacks and drinks. The Air Force Pride Clubs saw donations double to over $1 million while intramural championships were moved to the best athletic venues including Falcon Stadium and Clune Arena. Prior to the Air Force Academy, Knowl-ton served as the director of athletics at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and was responsible for overseeing the Institute’s 12 men’s and 11 women’s NCAA inter-collegiate varsity teams and three junior varsity squads, involving more than 600

student-athletes, as well as intramurals. In his time in Troy, Knowlton helped develop the strategic vision for the athletic department, implemented a new athlet-ics branding initiative, increased two-way communication with the student-athletes, created and fi lled many key positions, and facilitated renovations to the Houston Field House as well as the construction of the $102M fi rst phase of Rensselaer’s East Campus Athletic Village. Knowlton was selected as the National Association of Collegiate Director’s of Athletics (NACDA) Under Armour Division III Athletic Director of the Year in 2011. Knowlton also repre-sented Rensselaer serving on several na-tional committees, including the NACDA executive committee, the board of College Hockey, Inc. and as the chair of the NCAA Division I men’s Ice Hockey committee. Prior to joining Rensselaer, Knowlton served as the director of the Center for Enhanced Performance at the United States Military Academy in West Point, N.Y. In that position, he led a staff of 50 professionals who delivered training for peak performance in athletics, academics, and military endeavors to cadets, soldiers, and athletes both on and off the West Point campus. From 2003 to 2006 Knowlton served as both deputy and interim director for the athletics department at West Point, where he led a staff of more than 200 people and supervised 25 intercollegiate athletic programs with more than 1,000 student-athletes. During his tenure, West Point set the stage to earn its fi rst NCAA national championship in more than 50 years. Knowlton received a bachelor’s degree in engineering in 1982 from West Point, where he was a four-year letterwinner and captain of the varsity hockey team. After 10 years of organizational leader-ship positions of increasing responsibility in the U.S. Army, Knowlton received a master’s in civil engineering from Cornell University. He returned to West Point in 1992 to teach in the civil and mechanical engineering department, after which he was selected to lead and manage larger and more complex organizations within the Army, ultimately leading a battalion of 750 men and women while stationed at Ft. Carson, Colo., before deploying to Iraq. Knowlton is a registered profes-sional engineer in the state of Virginia. His awards and decorations include the Ranger Tab, the Air Assault Badge, and the Senior Parachutist Badge. Knowlton and his wife, Corey, have fi ve sons: Jimmy, Patrick, Christopher, Mark and Shawn.

Air Force Men’s Tennis 7

Few schools in the country have an athletic program as extensive as the Air Force Academy’s. The goals of the athletic program are to enhance the physical conditioning of all cadets, to develop the physical skills necessary for offi cership, to teach leadership in a com-petitive environment and to build character. There are three subdivisions of the athletic program: intercollegiate athletics, intramurals and physical education. The intercollegiate program has 17 men’s and 10 women’s NCAA-sanctioned teams, facing some of the top competition in the nation. Men’s teams are football, base-ball, basketball, ice hockey, cross-country, fencing, golf, gymnastics, indoor and outdoor track, lacrosse, rifl e, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, water polo and wrestling. The Academy fi elds women’s teams in basketball, cross-country, fencing, gymnastics, rifl e, indoor and outdoor track, swim-ming and diving, soccer, tennis and volleyball. In addition, the Academy sponsors two non-NCAA programs; boxing and cheerleading. The majority of the Academy’s men’s and women’s pro-grams compete at the NCAA Division I level in the Mountain West Conference. The Falcons compete in this conference against teams from Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, Hawai’i (football only), Nevada, New Mexico, San Diego State, San Jose State, UNLV, Utah State and Wyoming. All sports also compete against non-conference opponents, including many nationally ranked teams. The football team competes annually for the Command-er-in-Chief’s Trophy, which is emblematic of service academy football supremacy. The Falcons have won the trophy 19 times, which is more than any other academy. The USAFA Cadet Field House is one of the most impres-sive buildings in the country. It’s a modern, versatile structure with seemingly endless uses. The $5.6 million building is fi ve stories high and 396 feet by 426 feet, the size of three foot-ball fi elds laid side by side. The structure is divided into three areas--basketball arena, ice hockey arena and multipurpose area. The three sections have a combined seating capacity of more than 9,000. Clune Arena seats 5,858. The Cadet Ice Rink has a seating capacity of 2,470, while the multipurpose area seats 1,000 fans for track and fi eld competitions. The $4.1-million renovation to the Cadet Track Stadium, the outdoor home of the Air Force track and fi eld team, was completed in the fall of 2011 and is one of the premier track and fi eld facilities in the nation. The Holaday Athletic Center, a $15.5 million completely donor funded indoor training facility, was completed in July 2011. The Cadet Fitness Center, a $9.5 million, Military Construction project, home of the Air Force Academy’s fencing practice facility and aerobics/weight lifting facility that contains a nearly 33-foot climbing wall, opened in May 2012.

Col. Brian HillVice Director of Athletics

Col. Brian A. Hill is the vice athletic director at the Air Force Academy. A 1991 Academy graduate, he began his current assignment in June, 2015. Hill was the Vice Commander, 92nd Air Refueling Wing, Fairchild Air Force Base,

the air force song

Air Force Men’s Tennis 8

History of the Air Force SongIn 1938, Liberty magazine sponsored a contest for a spirited, en-

during musical composition to become the official Army Air Corps song. Of 757 scores submitted, Robert Crawford’s was selected by a committee of Air Force wives. The song was officially introduced at the Cleveland Air Races on September 2, 1939. Fittingly, Crawford sang it in its first public performance.

The first page of the score, which Crawford submitted to the selection committee in July 1939, was carried to the surface of the moon on July 30, 1971, aboard the Apollo 15 “Falcon” lunar module by Colonel David R. Scott and Lieutenant Colonel James B. Irwin. In-terestingly, at the moment the “Falcon” blasted off the surface of the moon with Scott and Irwin on board, a rendition of the “Air Force Song” was broadcast to the world by Major Alfred M. Worden, who had a tape recorder aboard the “Endeavor” command module which was in orbit around the moon. Scott, Irwin and Worden comprised the first and only “All-Air Force” Apollo crew and arranged to take the page of sheet music with them as a tribute to Crawford and the United States Air Force.

Bridge Section: Toast to the Host

“A Toast to the Host” is part of the original Air Force Song. Many times this is sung as a separate piece. This is the verse which com-memorates those who have fallen in the name of our service and our great country. This is the reason for the difference in melody and the reverent, reflective mood.

by Robert Crawfordcourtesy USAF Heritage of

America BandOff we go into the wild blue yonder, Climbing high into the sun;Here they come zooming to meet our thunder, At ‘em boys, Give ‘er the gun! (Give ‘er the gun now!) Down we dive, spouting our flame from under,Off with one helluva roar! We live in fame or go down in flame. Hey! Nothing’ll stop the U.S. Air Force!

Additional verses:

Minds of men fashioned a crate of thunder, Sent it high into the blue;Hands of men blasted the world asunder;How they lived God only knew! (God only knew then!)Souls of men dreaming of skies to conquer Gave us wings, ever to soar! With scouts before And bombers galore. Hey! Nothing’ll stop the U.S. Air Force!

Bridge: “A Toast to the Host”

Here’s a toast to the hostOf those who love the vastness of the sky,To a friend we send a message of his brother men who fly.We drink to those who gave their all of old,Then down we roar to score the rainbow’s pot of gold.A toast to the host of men we boast, the U.S. Air Force!

Off we go into the wild sky yonder, Keep the wings level and true; If you’d live to be a grey-haired wonder Keep the nose out of the blue! (Out of the blue, boy!)Flying men, guarding the nation’s border, We’ll be there, followed by more! In echelon we carry on. Hey! Nothing’ll stop the U.S. Air Force!

Dan OosterhousHead Coach l Eighth Season l Air Force, 1993

Dan Oosterhous enters his 8th season as the head coach of the men’s tennis team. He has led the Falcons to a 72-95 career record, including a 4-2 career margin over service-academy rival Army West Point. In the 2015-16

season, Oosterhous’ team fi nished with a 7-18 record but rallied at the end of the season to earn two conference wins by beating Fresno St and Nevada for the Academy’s fi rst-ever victories over these conference opponents. The two wins in conference play ties the school’s best-ever record in Mountain West conference play along with the 2003 Air Force team. Team captain, Jack McCullers highlighted the Falcon’s season with all-conference honors in singles and doubles partnering with freshman Tadhg Collins. McCullers also received the Mountain Region Arthur Ashe Sportsmanship and Leadership Award. In 2016, the Falcons set home crowd attendance records, fi nishing in the top 25 in the nation and became the fi rst team in the Mountain West with free live-streaming video for all indoor home matches. Oosterhous’ career coaching highlights include a win over #49 nationally-ranked BYU in 2013 and the highest-ever team ranking for the Air Force Academy at #63 in Feb 2013. He has coached fi ve players to all-conference honors includ-ing Lance Wilhelm (’13), Grant Taylor (’15), Jack McCullers (’16), Lucas Fumagalli (’17) and Tadhg Collins (’19). In the 2014 season, Lance Wilhelm had four wins over nationally-ranked players and fi nished the season ranked 78th, the second-highest ever for an Academy tennis player. Under Oosterhous’ leadership, the Falcons have been impressive off the court as well. Six players have earned aca-demic all-Mountain West honors, Brett Rodgers (’10), Sam Barnes (’13), Alex Grubbs (’14), Steven Young (’14), Lucas Fumagalli (’17), and Nicholas Carpenter (’17). In addition, three of his players have been named MW Scholar-Athletes, Mike Tope (’12), Fumagalli, and Carpenter. In 2016, Lucas Fumagalli became the Air Force tennis’ fi rst-ever two-time Academic All-Ameri-can. Following a competition in the 2013 season, Oosterhous suffered two brain stem strokes that resulted in a substantial loss of function in his left arm and leg. Since then, Oosterhous has made signifi cant strides in his re-covery, owing much to the sup-port of his three children, Emma

(19), Anna (17) and Andrew (15) and the rehabilitative power of competition. Oosterhous has fueled his recovery through op-portunities in adaptive sports as a member of the 2014 Air Force Wounded Warrior team and a member of the 2014 and 2016 USA Invictus Games team. Oosterhous has earned medals in swimming at the 2014 Warrior Games and in cycling at the 2016 Invictus Games. In 2014, he received USAFA’s General Mal Wakin Character and Leadership Award for his inspirational work with cadets and resiliency during recovery. Oosterhous, a native of Texarkana, Texas, graduated from USAFA in 1993 and remains one of the best tennis play-ers in the team’s history. Oosterhous ranks fi fth on the all-time list for most wins at #1 singles and second on the career list at #1 doubles. He was selected to the all-conference team all four years and received the team’s Most Valuable Player award three times. During his 21-year Air Force career, Oosterhous accumu-lated over 3,100 hours as an instructor pilot in three aircraft: the C-5, C-21 and T-53.
