Last weekend Jan. Our team is working to resolve the problem as quickly as possible. Some member log-in functions have been restored, and we continue to work to restore others. We appreciate your patience and wish to reassure all members that restoring full functionality and member access is our top priority.
We remain open for business and are here for our members. If you need assistance, please email our customer service team. We will keep you updated. We know where we are but not how we got there.
Our yearlong celebration of the Air Force Academy's 60th anniversary in provided a valuable opportunity to correct this shortcoming. To commemorate the historic milestone and highlight the legacy of achievement of our predecessors, I have researched historical documents and identified dates and events that tell the story of the Academy. At year's end, the online "This Day in Air Force Academy History" listing contains more than 1, items and continues to grow - and what a story it tells.
In the six decades since President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed legislation establishing the Academy on April 1, , much has happened. The permanent Colorado Springs site was selected and the Academy facilities were built and expanded. Facility growth continues to this day, with the distinctive Center for Character and Leadership Development tower rising from the Honor Court.
The Academy's stellar academic program became the first and only one ever granted accreditation before a single class graduated. We were the first academy to award academic majors, a practice adopted by the other service academies. Graduates fought and died in Southeast Asia and other conflicts. Our athletic teams won championships while helping cadet athletes develop character.
