I spoke too soon

Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, an article from Airforcetimes.com was sent to my inbox. Since the article isn't viewable to those without a log-in, here are several excerps from it:

"From mandatory breakfast to enforced lights out, the Air Force Academy intends to get tougher, stricter and more regimented."

"Superintendent, Lt. Gen. John Regni, wants to make changes, including higher academic standards and more military rigor"

"He said he wants to enforce the breakfast rule by requiring cadets to attend a morning formation beforehand. "

Believe me, it doesn't need to get "tougher" around here, like some would lead you to believe. The article says that "Part of the impetus for the academy changes were conversations Regni had with freshmen cadets" but neglects to mention that nearly half of the class of 2009 was put on Academic Probation during last semester (mostly for failing grades in Chemistry). Stuff like this is just one more reason to love the administration at USAFA. I guess flexibility really is the key to Air Power.
