✈️Cadet Spotlight…Dawson Jude Berna✈️

We are highlighting C/Berna who has taken their passion for aviation to new heights through the You Can Fly Scholarship!

AS100

Major: History

From: Hanford, CA

Desired AFSC: 11FX (Fighter Pilot)

Hobbies: Some of my hobbies are going to the gym, playing video games, hunting, fishing, and now flying (I got the you can fly scholarship!)

What motivates me is my parents, they have always pushed me to be great. Introducing me to excellence and aviation at a very young age.

To me, leadership means being the person people can look to when they need help with anything. If someone is having a hard time understanding or doing something, they should come to me for help.

Week 4 & 5 Training Recap ✈️

Over the past two weeks, cadets expanded their knowledge of Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) through an introduction to TCCC concepts and hands-on casualty care scenarios. Cadets also strengthened their drill and ceremony fundamentals by practicing forward march, halt, half step, mark time, change step, right/left step, to the rear, route step, at ease march, double time, incline movements, and guidon procedures. Leadership development continued through transfer of command training, reinforcing the responsibility and professionalism for our cadets and their future as leaders.

Each lesson, movement, and scenario builds the discipline, confidence, and teamwork required to lead effectively.

Serving Our Community and Strengthening Our Team

This past Friday and Saturday, cadets from Detachment 035 volunteered their time to assist with the setup and breakdown of the FCOE Gala. Their dedication and teamwork helped ensure the event ran smoothly from start to finish.

In addition to supporting our community, the event provided an opportunity for cadets to build stronger connections, develop camaraderie, and represent AFROTC through service. Volunteering is a valuable way to give back, gain meaningful experiences, and foster relationships beyond regular training activities.

Thank you to all the cadets who contributed their time, effort, and professionalism throughout the weekend. Your commitment reflects the core values of service and excellence that define Detachment 035.

✈️First Cadet Spotlight of the Semester!! ✈️

Introducing…Andrew Dohnke

AS100

Major: History

From: Porterville California

Desired AFSC: 11BX or 11FX

Hobbies: Aviation, Theology, Martial Arts, Cooking

What motivates me is understanding that I am the future of the United States and I am capable of making a difference that will influence the future.

As well as being part of, if not, the best team to ever exist that seeks to act on good morale and principle who have demonstrated their commitment to service whether it be like the Berlin Airlift in the late forties to modern day disaster relief.

Leadership means to me bearing the responsibility to guide one’s community and nation while honoring the freedoms and principles passed down to us by our Founding Fathers. These were the very Founding Fathers who sacrificed in hopes of securing those freedoms, chose to put duty over their own comfort, and stepped forward to lead because they understood that they could serve something greater than themselves.

Det 035 is off to a strong start!

Weeks 1 & 2 challenged our cadets through:
- Commander’s Call
- Customs & Courtesies
- Memorandums
- Ranks, Grades, & Insignias
- Dress & Appearance
- Drill

Each session built teamwork, discipline, and leadership — the foundation of every future officer. From classroom instruction to drill practice, our cadets continue to show pride, precision, and professionalism. This is how we build leaders of character.

We also recognized cadets earning the Academic Honors Award for maintaining a 3.5 GPA or higher, celebrating their dedication both in and out of uniform. Their excellence sets the standard for Det 035.

Additionally, Cadet Guenther and Cadet Guong received their flight suits, marking an important milestone in their ROTC journey.

Week 14 & 15 Recap!

Week 14 Det 035 went to the Naval Air Station Lemoore, where we got an inside look at the wide range of careers that keep the military running. From operations to support roles, it was a chance to see the bigger picture and explore future paths.

For Week 15, Det 035 tackled the EDGE course climbing obstacles and working through challenges that tested both physical ability and problem solving skills. It was all about teamwork, trust, and pushing past limits.

Ending the semester strong with experience, growth, and resilience.
