Did you know that the basic cadets no longer use tents in Jack's Valley? They now stay in expandable containers (ConEx), which means no more digging ditches! However, they still had to contend with plenty of dust, wobbly cots, and the challenges at the Obstacle Course, Confidence Course, and Assault Course.

Four members of the USAFA Women’s executive team joined approximately 200 alumni for the March Back from Jack’s Valley on July 26, 2024. It was a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with old friends during this all-class event. Pictured are most of the participating women as we waited for the march to start.

On Jun 25, 2024 USAFA Women set up a tent at the AOG-sponsored Ice Cream Social to support In-Processing Day for the class of 2028. We collected a lot of names and addresses of women basic cadets in the hope that our community would be willing to write a couple of snail mail notes to a pen pal and give them some encouragement. In the week that followed we put out a call for penpals and got a great response. Thank you for supporting the next generation in the long blue line!

USAFA Women engaged with many incoming cadets of USAFA class of 2028 & parents today during the Info Day / Ice Cream Social.
