Academy: No more pranks!

Air Force Academy cadets have been ordered to halt all spirit missions — elaborate or simple pranks against rival service academies — before the Air Force Falcon’s football game against the Naval Academy on Saturday.

The order comes two days after a mock fast attack submarine crewed by 15 Naval Academy midshipmen surfaced in the Air Force Academy’s terrazzo on Sept. 30.

The next day, an F-35 Lightning II mockup by Lockheed Martin that was on static display in the terrazzo was rolled to a bridge leading to Fairchild Hall.

The acting Air Force Cadet Wing Commander suspended spirit missions the morning after that — Oct. 2 — “until further notice.”

“Although there have been a number of unauthorized spirit missions, moving the F-35 was specifically prohibited,” the unnamed commander wrote in an e-mail sent to all cadets.
