The new superintendent of the US Air Force Academy already has made some changes at the Colorado Springs, Colo., campus, including restoring “Recognition Week,” more popularly known as “hell week.” Now, Lt. Gen. John Regni wants to make more fairly wide ranging changes, such as instilling more military discipline into the school and recruiting more minorities. According to the Rocky Mountain News, one of the changes he will make is to require all cadets to rise upon reveille and to eat breakfast.
Air Force F-16 pilots are testing out new sensors that could help maximize their performance and avoid deadly accidents while flying fast fighter jets under heavy G-forces and stressful conditions.
