@springsgazette: At the quiet overlook providing scenic views of the campus, the parents of preparatory school students said they hoped the last year of intense training would ensure success during the weeks ahead. Over the next six weeks, Air Force Academy cadets will be pushed to their limits and allowed little contact with their families. “She has never been more ready,” said Jason Lindsay, after dropping off his daughter, Emma Lindsay. About 1,100 Air Force Academy cadets arrived Wednesday to start basic training. On a day deeply rooted in tradition, the cadets took their oath of office, received their gear and some severe coaching from older cadets — plus, had their heads shaved. #fyp #coloradosprings #military #news #airforce
