Jurewicz.

This is coolbert:

Well, I must apologize to the number one graduating cadet [now a 2nd Lieutenant] from the most recent class of the Air Force Academy.

This officer, Lt. Jurewicz, was exonerated from having allegedly engaged in wrongdoing by sending out a blanket e-mail to all the lower class cadets at the Academy.

At the time it was felt the actions of Jurewicz were either inappropriate or against regulations.

It was thought to be only policy for a cadet to send out an e-mail in a blanket fashion to perhaps ONLY a few dozen fellow cadets AT THE MOST.

 It was decided by the Air Force that in his capacity as wing commander of the Academy [# 1 cadet], Jurewicz did have the authority to post his fellow cadets as he did.

Also controversial was the nature of the post itself. It was reputed to contain many religious quotations and citations. This too in the backdrop of the most recent controversy at the Air Force Academy was said to be a misstep on the part of Jurewicz also.

I will allow you, the reader to decide whether this e-mail of the cadet was out of line. 

After perusing the post the attached quotations myself, my conclusion is that it WAS NOT out of line!!

YES, there may be religious quotations, but they are only quotations from a collection of quotations from a variety of sources. MOST, the vast percentage, deal with leadership. A very apropos subject for the cadets themselves.

Jurewicz is a collector of quotations. 

HE WAS NOT out of line in using the quotations that he posted.

You be the judge of this matter. Click here to see the post of Jurewicz to his fellow cadets [a further link at the same site gives access to the quotations themselves, all twenty two pages of them!!].
