I was preparing for the wave of trick or treaters when I received… the call. The Group Commander called to congratulate me, after several weeks of the selection process, I was selected for the position.
I joined the program in 2013 while I was still stationed in Camp Lejeune. Squadron NC-160 was all the way over at MCAS Cherry Point but it was worth the 2 hour commute each week because I believed in the program that strongly. I was not quite sure if I wanted to progress through the command track, but once the opening at the Rochester Composite Squadron presented itself I felt it was worth putting my hat into the ring.
I don’t know yet what challenges await me during these crazy and unpredictable times, but I know I will face it with help from all those who volunteer with me in Civil Air Patrol.
