LLAB 21 - 2 Mar 10

Part of ROTC includes community service and charity. In addition to adopting a highway for cleanup, this year the cadet commander, Cadet Swartz has led the way to the creation of a Relay for Life team. Relay for Life is the main fund-raising effort for the American Cancer Society, the leading charity for the cure of cancer.

As part of our fund-raising effort, the Wing is taking part in the Miss Relay contest. In it, each Relay for Life team has a male representative participate in a cross-dressing beauty pageant involving a "walk" contest as well as a talent show. To select our Peageant contestant, the wing is voting for POC males as well as our commander, Lieutenant Colonel Doherty and our NCO Staff Sergeant Kanoy. Each vote costs $1, and will potentially raise a lot of money for the American Cancer Society.

This week, the FTP cadets participated in the second half of Operation Job Shadow. In it, some FTP cadets took over and led a tournament of a marching game called Tank, others met with Key Staff and wrote Operation Plans for various events.

In Tank, two flight commanders attempt to march their flights into each other. If they make a "hit" on the side or back, they score a point.
