Recognition marks the transition of the Fourth Classmen to upper class status. It is the ceremonial acknowledgement that the Fourth Class as a whole has successfully met the military training requirements expected of it and is prepared to continue its four-year journey through the rigors of Academy life.
In addition to challenging the Class of 2009, Recognition provides the three upper classes an opportunity to develop leadership skills by exercising their roles in relation to the Officer Development System and the PITO (personal, interpersonal, team, and organizational leadership) leadership model.
Recognition consists of wing- and squadron-run activities. Wing-level events include the Leadership Course, Assault Course, Chutes & Ladders, Academy Tour, as well as mandatory meal formations, a motivational speaker, and "The Run to the Rock." Squadron-level training events include three discretionary training time periods, theme rooms, and squadron "Prop and Wing" ceremonies.
Recognition concludes with individual squadron ceremonies and a wing-wide celebratory evening meal.
