Cadets face lecture
Cadets face lecture
(EXCERPT) By The Associated Press August 26, 2003 AIR FORCE ACADEMY - The entire cadet corps will get a dressing down because of a weekend underage drinking incident that embarrassed an Air Force Academy still struggling to overcome a sexual assault scandal, the new superintendent said today.

Rosa told The Associated Press in an interview. "We're going to try to turn this around Thursday to a positive, say, 'Look, if we knock this behavior off we're going to move forward,"' Rosa said. "'Every time we have this kind of behavior, we backstep. We backstep in the eyes of ourselves, of our peers. We backstep in the eyes of Colorado Springs, of Colorado, of this nation. We cannot afford to do that."' The speech will be given by Brig. Gen. Johnny Weida, commandant... U.S. and friendly nation laws prohibit fully reproducing copyrighted material.
