As the students of the 2024 Georgia Wing Summer Encampment get into the rhythm of the week, competition starts to arise. All the cadets are striving for excellence in hopes of achieving one of the award: Honor flight, warrior flight, cadet of the day, and staff of the day. Everyone eagerly awaits for the end of the day to find out who got what awards.
Honor flight is an award based on overall flight excellence in leadership and motivation. Warrior flight is based on uniform inspection, room inspection, and knowledge scores.
“I think we will get honor flight today because we’ve been working really hard. If we don’t get it today, we will definitely get it this week,” said Cadet Tech. Sgt. Emily Feeney from the Warner Robins Composite Squadron. “If we don’t get it this week, the flights that do must really deserve it.”
Yesterday evening, Juliet flight won honor flight of the day. The Juliet flight commander, Cadet 2nd Lt. Zadek Hollingsworth from the Golden Isles Cadet Squadron, motivated his cadets by congratulating them with all the small victories and achievements they made.
“My cadets have done really well with barracks inspections and drill,” said Hollingsworth. “They’ve become unified and can work well as a team.”
While the cadets continue working towards getting an award, they also become a better team and become closer with other cadets in their flight.
