In-Processing Day June 2022
In-Processing was a day of many emotions and celebrations as the Class of 2026 began their USAFA journey. We were able to welcome so many family and friends at the FamFest picnic hosted by the Colorado Parents' Club and the AOG at Doolittle Hall. As the Basics began BCT, families had a chance to drop off their First Letters, order Goodie Bags, grab breakfast snacks or lunch, stop by the photo booth, visit with live Falcons, meet other 2026 families, and visit the AOG gift shop. Click here to see more I-Day pictures from our Colorado Parents’ Club photographers.
Many families stopped by our photo booth to have their picture taken on this momentous day. See more photo booth pictures here.
