A former New York Times reporter's year behind the scenes at the scandal-ridden Air Force Academy Diana Jean Schemo covered the Air Force Academy's sexual assault scandal in 2003, one of a series of academy embarrassments that have included drug use, rape complaints, and charges of evangelical officers pushing Christianity on cadets of all faiths. Today, the institution is in flux—a fascinating time to look at the changes being made and the experience of today's cadets. Schemo followed a handful of academy cadets through the school year. From the admissions process and punishing weeks of basic training to graduation, she shares the triumphs and tribulations of the cadets and the struggle of the academy's leaders to set their embattled alma mater on a straighter path. Follows cadets in all grades, with insights on day-to-day academy life and training Written by a veteran reporter, two-time foreign correspondent and Pulitzer Prize nominee, with excellent contacts at the academy Includes 38 black-and-white photographs Like David Lipsky's successful Absolutely American: Four Years at West Point, this book offers a fascinating window on the training of our military today. But Schemo's book updates the story: the seniors were the first class to sign up after the attacks of 9/11, and the road to graduation, this time, leads to an America at war.

This fictional historical novel tells the story of the last Air Force Academy class to spend its entire first year at Lowry Air Force Base, Denver, Colorado before the new site opened in Colorado Springs. Seen through the eyes of a cadet, the story is based on cadet "letters home." The Class had the last with Air Force Officer Upperclassmen and first with 1959 and 1960 cadet upperclassmen. The "Toughest School in America's" first year Fourth Class (Freshman) System weaned the cadet from parental ties and gave him the self-discipline necessary meet the four-year challenges required to become a United States Air Force Officer. The Third Academy Class lived a history that will never be repeated. The Class of 1961 was the last trained under the watchful eyes of young US Air Force Officer "upperclassmen." The West Point, Naval Academy, and Citadel graduates assumed the role of upperclassmen to the "Doolies," a sarcastic name for New Cadets. The physical, mental, and spiritual demands on these selected young men are chronicled in the novel. The trials, tribulations, and triumphs of the New Cadets, detailed in letters home, create the historical basis for the book. Classmates Art Kerr, Terry Storm, and Ad Thompson provided the "letters home" in a book by Robert Heriza entitled Man's Flight through Life. The Epilog details the myriad achievements of the men who completed the Academy program. Most of the 214 who graduated with the class completed a military career where they provided leadership in combat, military organizations, and other national endeavors. Following military service, graduates pursued careers as commercial pilots or industry managers, as lawyers and judges, or in roles in educational institutions. Doolie is an up-close and personal look at the life of these earliest AF Academy cadets. General Lee Butler, a Commander of Strategic, observed the following: "Gene hit upon the engaging approach of interweaving letters home from classmates with his own narrative of an intense socialization process designed to turn boys into men. Chronicling this unrelenting grind in excruciating detail while sustaining keen anticipation of events in the daily life of a Doolie some 60 years ago is a truly remarkable achievement, but anyone who has lived through a long period of separation from family and friends can relate to it. Carry on, then, dear reader, but fasten your emotional seat belt: this is a wild ride to come."
