Good morning.
It's already in the 70's, heading up to the 90's today.
It's going to be a tad (a smidge) warm!

I'll head up there later to see how they're doing. I'd like to see how the squadron photos are being set-up and also try to locate the some of the drill before they have to take shade under Fairchild Hall.

I was on the Academy Website today at http://www.usafa.af.mil/ and went to their Public Affairs Page at http://www.usafa.af.mil/index.cfm?catname=Public%20Affairs.

It listed email addresses for their: Director of Communications; Community Relations; Internal Relations; Media Relations.

I also called the Base Operator asked for the Public Affairs phone number.
It is (719) 333-2990

Just received the updated schedule.
Field Day on Saturday is from 0700 - 1100 MDT.

1130 MDT
Doolie Day Out - Sunday, July 16th
This program is run by the Cadet Sponsorship office. Here is all I know from the schedule.
Looks like the Basics will be picked up around 0900 - 1000. Once they are picked up, the Basics will go to the Sponsor's House. The schedule shows the Basics are due back at the Academy by 1700. That's all I know from the schedule.

Web Guy Personal Note
If I were a parent of a 2010 Basic, I would be sitting on Sunday by my home phone (hard line) with my cell phone in my hand between 0900 and 1700 MDT. Why? My Basic will likely try to call me on my home or cell phone if at all possible from the place they are spending Doolie Day Out.

1200 MDT
Note: I placed some references to Groundhog Day on the site a few times. Sorry about that. I'm referring to the movie, Groundhog Day with Bill Murray. Everyday when he woke up, it was Groundhog Day. He lived the same day over and over. When I mentioned something like, "Tomorrow's schedule is another Groundhog Day for the Basics", I meant their schedule is almost identical to the day before.

Reveille, PT, breakfast, morning briefings, lunch, afternoon briefs, dinner, evening briefing, hygiene, Taps.

1500 MDT
Back from the cadet area. Whew!!!! It is hot up there in a shirt and tie. I feel bad for the Basics doing Flight Drill out there.

I caught some activity and took some shots. I'll start editing.

By the way. I took up someone who will be posting here with me.
She calls herself "Web Gal".

Caught some Basics waiting to go into the Lectinars for Honor Briefing 4. These Basics were in line to use the facilities/bathroom/latrine/loo before the briefing. According to the cadre member escorting them, the Basics were from Squadron B, C Flight.
