Basic cadets from the Class of 2018 are addressed by cadet cadre as they stand in formation June 26, 2014, on "the footsteps" outside of the Core Values Ramp at the U.S. Air Force Academy, Colo. Basic cadets spent their first day getting a military haircut and their uniforms, donating blood, meeting their cadre, and receiving a taste of Academy life. (U.S. Air Force photo by Sarah Chambers)
