A special thank you to Lt Col Deb Bolden, who was the ALS Commander and has been working on this for several months - a job well done!!

Students continue to show dedication and diligence throughout the course of their training at Civil Air Patrol’s Texas Wing Group II ALS! The cadets began their day with physical training with their fellow flight mates, upholding the importance of a cadet’s physical fitness and displaying excellence. Afterwards, the students had a nutritious breakfast and participated in classroom discussions which informed them of topics such as: NCSAs, encampment, and what it truly means to be a wingman influenced by the warrior spirit upholding the core value of volunteer service. Following lunch, the students had an opportunity to view the solar eclipse. Later in the day, the students were graded on how well they prepared their bunks and uniforms, enforcing the standards and what it means to have integrity in all things. In the evening, all the students participated in team sports in order to build friendships and comradery amongst each other, learning the importance of respect. The dedication and perseverance displayed by these cadets is not only inspirational but truly portrays what it means to live and embody the Core Values.
