Congratulations Cadets!!
You have been selected as an Air Force JROTC Key Staff member or to a Key Leadership position for school year 26-27! Your selection was based not only on your performance in AFJROTC this year and adherence to our core values, but also your maturity, attention to detail, passion for JROTC, and ability to lead other cadets. If you are reading this and wondering wow, me? Yes!! It means even if you may not see it, I see something special in YOU!
What makes leadership special is that it’s a little different for everyone. Some are natural leaders, some have the ability to adapt to a leadership role (even when the situation changes), and some even surprise you (the ones that you wouldn’t think are leaders) and shine when placed into a leadership position (my favorite). It’s not easy at times, especially in this environment when you are leading peers, but I am 100% confident in your abilities, and I am here to help you every step of the way.
Just remember, leadership is defined as the ability to influence, INSPIRE, and guide individuals or teams toward achieving a common goal. Congratulations again! I look forward to working with you next year and my hope is that you bring something a little different to our Cadet Corps family that helps make our next school year even better than the last!
Proudly,
GREGORY A. GWYN II, CMSgt, USAF (Ret.)
