Congratulations to ALL HHS cadets for
earning the AFJROTC Health & Wellness Ribbon for the 1st Semester, AY2015-2016. We, as a 125-strong cadet corps, had ZERO failures in the fitness program this past Semester. In fact, several HHS cadets ranked in the Top 25% of the President's Physical Fitness Program (
based upon National-level criteria).
ALL cadets are authorized to wear the ribbon immediately on their AF Blue Uniform (see ribbon).
Master Sergeant Simmons and Colonel Paul are justifiably PROUD OF EACH OF YOU...as you should be of each other. Keep up the superb fitness effort and let's push for an even stronger and healthier Second Semester cadets!!
HHS AFJROTC cadets Pierre Jones and Dorian Harris experienced the wonders of flight today when they both flew with the Shelby County Airport's Civil Air Patrol, instructed by Lt Col (Ret) Austin Landry. Each cadet flew the Cessna 182 for approximately 45 minutes while at the flight controls, and spent another 45 minutes airborne in the back seat observing. They performed slow/steep turns, climbing, descending and instrument approach procedures to get a better understanding of the aerodynamics curriculum and an appreciation for aviation as a potential career field. These types of incentive flights will hopefully generate an interest in becoming a pilot, in either the military or as a civilian. Col Landry relayed to the HHS chaperon that he was very impressed by both cadet's flying skills. GREAT JOB PIERRE & DORIAN...WAY TO AIM HIGH!!
