Remember our History! Air Force Football @AF_Football player Weston Steelhammer (Class 2017) was a 2013 two-star recruit who became one of our best ever @AF_Falcons defensive backs. He started 37 of 48 career games for our Air Force Academy, playing 3 games as a doolie then every game sophomore through senior year. He led our Falcons in interceptions each of his last three seasons and was the leading tackler in 2015 and 2016. He was on the Thorpe Award and Lott Impact Trophy watch lists. In 2016 Steelhammer was the NCAA’s active career leader with 17 interceptions going into the Arizona Bowl (AF won 45-21 beating Southern Alabama). The Associated Press named Steelhammer a third-team All-American in 2016. He continues to serve in the Air Force Reserves. There is more to Weston Steelhammer than just the name: tucson.com/sports/local/a… GO FALCONS -Rick'77 Rick's Falcon Review @AFA_LW

I will play Devil's Advocate. You go to Outback Steakhouse buy a 16 oz sirloin for $25 with a baked potato and a side salad. You go to prime25 and get the exact same thing for $85. Do you change your tip percentage? Exact same service while yes a different atmosphere... just curious.

Went out to lunch today. I see these tweets of "How much should you tip?" 2 thoughts-its either click bait because you folks can't come up anything more clever than that, or you are cheap. If you can afford to eat out, tip 20% plus. Those folks work hard and have to deal with the public.

Remember our History! Only a few more days and this series will be over. In a combination of old and new history, Air Force Fencing @AF_Fencing captured the First-Ever Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) Men’s fencing title this year in 2026. Historically, the team titles have been hotly contested, but the Men’s Championship had always eluded the Academy. This historic conference victory propelled them into the 2026 NCAA Fencing Championships at the University of Notre Dame, where the men’s squad secured a highly respectable 16th-place overall finish, tallying 27 points — the most by any MPSF men’s program at the national tournament. The Air Force women also showed immense grit, finishing 19th nationally. AF coach Adrienne “Adi” Nott was recognized as the MPSF Assistant Coach of the Year.

Air Force Baseball places two on the all Mountain West tournament team GO FALCONS -Rick'77 @RicksFalconRev

@MarkSan65317253 @AF_Baseball I'm the same for different reason, just didn't like wearing a big clunky ring. No regrets. But DON'T be the guy who wears his class ring over his wedding band. I don't get it......

@AF_Baseball Congrats on your play at the tournament and please wear ur ring with pride. I never got used to wearing it and I was miffed at the USAF - to this day I have worn it less than 5 times - don’t be me. Congrats! Enjoy summer programs and let’s make noise next year!!

The boys got their bling! 💍 Despite missing Ring Dance while at the MW Championships, Coach Kaz issued the class of ‘27 their class rings! #FlyFightWin #AmericasTeam🇺🇸

Wow....game1

Air Force baseball sees heartbreaking end to Mountain West tournament run as 7-run lead disappears: gazette.com/2026/05/23/air…

Remember our History! Air Force Hockey @AF_HKY and Michigan have faced each other once in NCAA tournament play, with Air Force the #4 seed securing a stunning 2-0 shutout victory against the #1 seed Wolverines on March 27, 2009, in the NCAA East Regional first round. Andrew Volkening made a season-high 43 saves. Video youtu.be/rCzLdkYzNrw?si… Our Falcons would lose the next game in a strange ending in double overtime 2-3 to #3 seed Vermont. Recap: goairforcefalcons.com/news/2009/3/28… To get to the NCAA tournament Air Force beat Mercyhurst 2-0 to win the AHA tournament championship. GO FALCONS -Rick'77 @RicksFalconRev

THIS YEAR Air Force Men's Basketball @AF_MBB WILL have seniors on the team! Can't wait for tipoff! GO FALCONS -Rick'77 Rick's Falcon Review

.@SECWAR “The single dumbest phrase in military history was peddled in our Army only a few short years ago. You’ve all heard it — maybe in your first two years at West Point — ‘Our diversity is our strength’... Diversity is NOT our strength. UNITY is our strength... Our strength is our shared purpose. Our strength is our oath to the Constitution. Our embrace of Army Values. The idea of merit. Our mission. Our absolute commitment to Duty, Honor, Country. These are the things that unify us. ‘Send me’ becomes ‘Send us’ because you are ONE fighting force, just as we are ONE NATION UNDER GOD.”

@MarkSan65317253 WSU beast mode right now

@RicksFalconRev Idk we looked bad against wazzu - idk I just hope it’s a 17-16 game they waste a bunch of arms and it goes long! We need them exhausted and demoralized

GO FALCONS

@MarkSan65317253 Yeah I think it's better to play them if they lose today then try to have to win two games against them if we make it to the championship game round

@MarkSan65317253 Suggest in game 2.. .. come on SDSU! GO FALCONS -Rick'77 @RicksFalconRev

@RicksFalconRev Dilly was incredible on the mound!!

I think we want @AF_Baseball to beat NM today and Washington State to lose to SDSU. I'd rather play WSU in bottom bracket needing to win one vs them vs having to beat them twice in a row in the championship bracket. GO FALCONS -Rick'77
