Academic disciplines represented include: Arts and Letters – White; Economics – Copper; Education – Light Blue; English – White; Engineering – Orange; Fine Arts – Brown; Law – Purple; Philosophy – Dark Blue; Science – Golden Yellow.
HAT TOSS
As the final names in Squadron 23 are called, children 7 to 10 years of age may gather just east of the scoreboard on the south end of the stadium. The children will be given a nametag, and then organized by size. Once the children are organized they will be escorted to the stadium floor for the hat toss. Each child will be allowed to take one hat and then will be escorted back to east of the scoreboard on the south end. Parents are requested to wait for their children at that location, to pick them up directly after the Hat Toss.
USAF THUNDERBIRDS TEAM AERIAL DEMONSTRATION
This aerial demonstration is conducted in honor of the graduating class of 2018. This event exhibits to the public the technical and professional capabilities of the United States Air Force. The team is comprised of selected pilots assigned to the Air Combat Command and demonstrates the coordination, discipline, and flying ability that combat-capable pilots require to fulfill their vital role in our nation’s defense.
Federal Aviation Administration regulations prohibit spectators from being within 1500 feet of the flight path during acrobatic aerial demonstrations. Therefore, for your own safety and to comply with FAA regulations, NO ONE will be
permitted to leave the stadium after the graduation ceremony until the completion of the Thunderbirds demonstration.
CEREMONY CONCLUSION
(The audience is requested to remain in place until the stadium gates open following the conclusion of the Thunderbirds performance.)
Military members are reminded that a salute will be rendered during the playing of Honors for the Graduation Speaker and the
National Anthem. During the National Anthem, all other citizens of the United States should face the flag with both hands at their sides or
with their hat or an open hand over their heart. Military retirees may render a salute during the playing of the National Anthem.

Oath of Office
I, ______________________having been appointed a Second Lieutenant
in the United States Air Force, do
solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will
support and defend the Constitution of
the United States against all enemies,
foreign and domestic; that I will bear true
faith and allegiance to the same; that I
take this obligation freely, without any
mental reservation or purpose of evasion;
and that I will well and faithfully
discharge the duties of the office upon
which I am about to enter.
So help me God.
OFF WE GO INTO THE WILD BLUE YONDER,
CLIMBING HIGH INTO THE SUN;
HERE THEY COME ZOOMING TO MEET OUR THUNDER,
AT ‘EM BOYS, GIVE ‘ER THE GUN! (GIVE ‘ER THE GUN NOW!)
DOWN WE DIVE, SPOUTING OUR FLAME FROM UNDER,
OFF WITH ONE HELLUVA ROAR!
WE LIVE IN FAME OR GO DOWN IN FLAME. HEY!
NOTHING’LL STOP THE U.S. AIR FORCE!
The academic mace, displayed on the stage, was first used in the 14th century and is descended from
the club of Hercules. The globe at the bottom of the mace represents the world from which our
cadets come. The globe bears the phrase, “Expect great things,” which is the challenge issued by
General Nathan Twining, Air Force Chief of Staff, to the first entering class of the United States Air
Force Academy after their arrival at Lowry Air Force Base, Denver, Colorado, on July 11, 1955. The four
contrails emanating from the globe symbolize the trajectory of cadets as they prepare for the future.
Cadets first pass through the ring of Air Force core values—Integrity, Service, and Excellence; the
lightning bolts on the ring signify athletic excellence. The second ring symbolizes the ideals of Athens
focused on learning and arts; the stars represent academic excellence. The third ring embodies the
warrior spirit of Sparta; the wreaths denote military excellence. Rising from the final ring are four
airfoils that characterize today’s final launch of our newest leaders of the highest character.
