Checkpoints magazine is the Association of Graduates' signature communications piece. From its humble beginnings as a black and white news print in 1965 to the award-winning publication you are reading today, the magazine has evolved into a visual showcase of USAFA. Yet despite its evolutionary track across the decades, this publication still seeks the same objective that it did at the time of its inception: to tell the Academy and graduate stories.

Content in the March issue of Checkpoints includes a Q&A with Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David Allvin ’86 who says a rapid pace of change is needed to prepare for near-peer adversaries; thoughts from several USAFA astronauts who visited the International Space Station, which is now 25 years old; a three-part look at the 70-year history of the Air Force Academy; the second in a new series of stories related to the Institute for Future Conflict; and a profile of Miss America, 2nd Lt. Madison Marsh ’23.
