AIR FORCE VS. ARMY 2

Welcome back to our annual Air Force vs. Army Fitness Challenge! Cadets competed in a rigorous obstacle course, a 2 mile ruck, and an intense workout circuit. Fierce competition and teamwork kept both sides pushing to the finish.

We give a special thanks to our sponsors for fueling this event and continuing to give us this opportunity to build camaraderie with Army ROTC!

C/CHRISTOPHER PARK

From hands-on programming to teamwork and real-world problem-solving, C/Christopher Park’s Cyber Camp Officer Development Training (ODT) provided an inside look at a career in cybersecurity!

During his experience with the 90th Cyberspace Operations Squadron, he worked with a team to develop a Python-based command-and-control server, gaining valuable experience in programming, troubleshooting, and overcoming technical challenges. The team also had the opportunity to brief squadron leadership on their project and reflect on their ODT experience.

ODTs provide cadets with valuable opportunities to explore career fields, develop professional skills, build connections, and gain firsthand insight into life as an Air Force officer.

Week 7 is in the books!

This week’s cadre-led LLAB featured “Operation Shot Heard Around the Quad”, a GLP that demonstrated the art of the possible. Our POC put their leadership skills into action, guiding cadets through the operation and showing how communication, teamwork, and adaptability turn plans into action.

C/Victoria Morris - Sliver Flag & FT Cadet Cadre

What are Officer Development Trainings (ODTs)? ODTs provide AFROTC cadets with hands-on opportunities to explore Air Force missions, gain insight into different career fields, and develop the leadership skills needed to become future officers.

C/Morris had the opportunity to participate in Silver Flag ODT and was an AFROTC Field Training Cadet Cadre member at Maxwell AFB, gaining valuable experience and lessons that will carry forward into her future Air Force career.

🔥 Silver Flag ODT: C/Morris experienced the RED HORSE mission and learned how Force Support Officers contribute to operations in a deployed environment. Her favorite moment was competing in the firefighter challenge and taking home first place!

⭐ FT Cadet Cadre: Through this experience, C/Morris strengthened her ability to prioritize resources, communicate effectively with higher-ranking officers, and address challenges when things don't go as planned.

These experiences demonstrate how ODTs help cadets connect classroom knowledge with real-world Air Force operations while building the skills, confidence, and leadership mindset needed to lead Airmen.

Way to represent Det 780, C/Morris!
