U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. -- Cadets began to see major changes in August 2003 during freshman basic cadet training.

But one of the short-term goals of the new academy leadership was to bring training more in line with the operational Air Force. Now, training is conducted in a more participatory manner, with mentoring and some cold, hard stares as part of the new “four-class” system of leadership development that occurs during all four class years.
