COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — History shows that the first women to enter the Air Force Academy arrived in the summer of 1976.
And history is wrong.
Months earlier, in a little-known chapter of Air Force lore, a dozen pioneering women, already officers, endured the hardships the first female cadets would soon face and kicked open the doors for women at the service academy.

My twin brother was attending the AFA when the first women showed up, the old ways went out the window. The final straw was the removal of the "Bring Me Men" slogan on the wall. The whole quote is from Sam Walter Foss:
Bring me men to match my mountains: Bring me men to match my plains: Men with empires in their purpose and new eras in their brains.
