I enjoyed this part:
"Our daughter was methodically brain washed into believing that she was unsaved in the Catholic religion," the anonymous parents wrote in an email to the MRFF. "During spring break 2009, she urgently asked that we read the Bible everyday in order to 'receive the grace of God and be saved.' This manner of speech took us completely off guard."
Shocking!

Color me skeptical.
USAFA cadets get there, for the largest part, via congressional appointment....I'm finding it difficult to believe that such large cross section of cadets, from such a broad cross section of the national selection of HS grads, end up being Pentecostal evangelicals.

I'm currently serving in the US Air Force. Never been to the academy though, so I can't really speak on that.
Plus, I was raised Pentecostal so I probably wouldn't notice anything out of the ordinary. If this is going on, it's a shame however.

What good guy you are, uptownliving. I had an uncle in the Air Force, a lieutenent I think, but I am 100% positive he is long since retired. May I ask, where are you?
And thankies for your service to our country.

Ya, I know Oddball. It is a strange story. Is the Air Force especially small? I wonder how any one group of people with nothing but religion in common could "take over" like is claimed.
Yet this is apparently not the first group of cadets to report the phenom. From 2005....

Okay, I admit it. I dun know where Dover is and my Google Fu has failed. Delaware?
(Imma geo idijit...*laughs*)
Are you a southern gent by birth, uptownliving?
This has been a long time problem at USAFA. I believe several cadets sued the academy a few years ago for the evangelical precense which they felt had permeated the academy and was a violation of the establishment clause, but I am too lazy too look it up.
Something to consider: USAFA and "Focus On The Family" are both in Colorado Springs.
