Denver, CO (AHN) - Influenza (H1N1) has struck 67 Air Force Academy cadets, but none were sick enough to require hospitalization.

Another 30 cadets have shown symptoms of the virus, but have not been confirmed to be infected with swine flu yet.

All the sick cadets are freshman and have been isolated in a dormitory from the others in the 1,300 member class.

Air Force officials say they expect the sick cadets will still be able to finish basic training on time by Aug. 1.
