Class Ring Heritage
2011 Class Ring Brochure

As a cadet, one should wear the ring with the class crest inward, towards your heart, showing that USAFA is your priority.  Once graduated, turn the ring around and put the AF crest closer to your heart and show everyone you are a USAFA Graduate.

Class Ring Tradition -
the Ring Dining Out & Dance
The Dining Out (in Mitch's) & Dance (in Arnold Hall) that follows are formal affairs only for cadets, their invited guests, as well as their Legacy Class. 
The cadets are not allowed to see or touch their rings until it has been christened in champagne.  Two possible scenarios:  Date takes ring from box and puts in glass for cadet to retrieve while drinking champagne; or Date drinks from glass, grasping ring in teeth for cadet to retrieve while kissing date.
