Combining ratios and angels gathered from Google Earth images with a protractor, ruler, calculator, and then some paint to direct cadets where to go, it would seem like the math would allow things to fall into place - still, the planning doesn’t stop there.
#R.o.t.c. aviation student half wing Patch#
Ohashi walked through the steps of how he was able to transform a patch onto the Drillfield and cadets into the Air Force symbol. When asked about the method used for the success of this project, Ohashi simply replied, “Math … and a lot of it.” However, being a part of the best alive, Ohashi used meticulous and strategic planning to not only create a timeless photo, but a blueprint to pass onto to other detachments. This semester, Cadet Jared Ohashi ’18, was tasked with a seemingly simple task of coordinating a picture of the entire wing. The talent of the wing isn’t always seen through numbers and percentages, but by the personal efforts put forth by cadets. Not only did the colonel give insight to how the Air Force is changing and the trajectory of the ROTC program, he also imparted advice for soon-to-be second lieutenants.
In leadership lab, cadets received a special visit from the ROTC commander for the Southwest Region, Col. Another guest workout included trainers from the Crossfit 460 gym teaching and implementing new techniques for workouts to be used both in and out of PT. One workout included an early morning trip to the pool with the Virginia Tech women’s water polo team, teaching cadets new skills in the water and a new understanding of an intense sport. Cadet leadership in Air Force ROTC reaches out to sports teams, on-campus organizations, and even local businesses to exchange support and supplement training.ĭuring PT this semester, guest workouts were created to get in touch with sports teams and local gyms to enhance physical fitness. Detachment 875 has a distinct advantage of being placed in a campus that takes pride in the support given throughout the community. The cadet wing used physical training (PT) and leadership lab to boost community involvement, adding a creative element to the typical training schedule. Through community involvement, personal projects, and training preparation, Detachment 875 sets the bar high as the best alive! Whether it is going through summer training, experiencing travel abroad, or transitioning from ROTC to the operational Air Force, there’s a lot to prepare for during the spring.ĭespite the anticipation for what the end of the school year brings, the cadets at Detachment 875 have continued to work tirelessly to find and create opportunities to better themselves as wingmen, leaders, and warriors. The end of the spring semester also marked the beginning of a new chapter for many cadets.
