Career Day

This past Tuesday at DET 440 we were privileged to have many active duty officers come to career day. They took time out of their own schedules to talk to the cadets. There were several officers, including lieutenants, captains, and majors. Some officers came from Whiteman AFB, while others traveled from Leavenworth, KS! They represented many different careers including; Pilot, Air Battle Manager, Security Forces, LRS, Force Support, Aircraft Maintenance, Civil Engineering, and more. We were able to learn a great deal of information about the different career fields and life as an officer.

The officers were extremely helpful to those of us who already know what our careers in the Air Force will be. They were also helpful to those cadets who don’t know what they want to do yet. Either way, we were very excited to learn all we could from them. Career day is one of the most important Leadership Labs we have during the semester. As you can see, we gain a lot of knowledge from having the opportunity to talk to active duty officers. We are very thankful we had such a great turnout, and we really appreciate them taking their time to talk to our cadet wing.
