Academic Call to Quarters
From USAFA Folklore
(Redirected from Ac Call)
Academic Call to Quarters (also known as ACQ or "Ac Call") is the time period Sunday through Thursday, usually from 1900 until Taps at 2230, when the lower three classes are required to be in their rooms or in the library, completing homework assignments or studying. Cadets who are permitted to take day passes during the week must return to the academic study area prior to the ACQ bugle call. Firsties do not have ACQ, and are permitted to sign out until Taps.
In the 1970s through (at least) the early '90s, Ac Call was from 2000 until 2300 and it applied to all four classes, but could be relaxed for firsties during Topoff/Brevit Lieutenant.
