Yikes. Sounds like a blanket-party gone wrong.

Most of the hazing takes place after induction in the summer or maybe we’ll into first semester - as a former sh@$ screen mine went slightly into second semester. By now it should have wellsettled down. This sounds likely to be something else it’s just after or before spring break - maybe a love interest or prank gone wrong. If it wasn’t in the dorm Id say something in phys Ed ... Prayers up.

Agree. I wonder if the attackers are cadets. None of the recent graduate emails have mentioned anything about it.

Prolly an outspoken anti-homo cadet.

Everyone, sometimes even healthy kids drop dead. Let’s wait for the Academy to finish the investigation. Remember that a member of the AFA swim team had a heart attack during spring break last week - stress can break people in different ways.

I did a little checking and very few details have been released about the attacks. There are several trails on the Academy grounds that are used for hiking and biking, but they can also be used by the public. A couple related articles are:

Air Force Academy cites attacks as reason for halting solo hikes, trail rides
Air Force Academy remains quiet on new trail rules after on-campus attacks

Not likely. 4th classmen have it pretty easy there.

When it's just sufficient to change the guest-of-honor's behavior without real damage?

Blanket parties come about due to failures in leadership.

True, leadership should weed out the scrounge, the malingerer, the shirker. But they don’t always succeed.
