The purpose of the Kitty Hawk Air Society (KHAS) is to promote and recognize academic achievement of AFJROTC cadets not only in Aerospace Science but in all high school subjects as well. Other objectives include service to the high school and the community, support of airpower in its role in National Security, and development of patriotism and good citizenship.
To be eligible, cadets must earn an “A” grade in Aerospace Science for two semesters and must have a 3.0 GPA (Cumulative) in all subjects with no failing grades to merit selection. The cadet must also exhibit exemplary bearing, behavior, and appearance in accordance with AFJROTC requirements.
Eligible cadets will be invited to join the KHAS, and those deserving to become members will go through a pledge program lasting one academic year. Cadets who successfully complete the requirements of the pledge program will be inducted into the KHAS at an appropriate time and place, in a dignified manner.
KHAS membership will be an important item for cadet promotion consideration.
Kyler, also received a certificate for completing 50 hours of Community Service (they are high into this- one kid had over 200 hours!
And a leadership award, with medal for which I don’t know what it is called since he has the certificate.
We are so proud of him. We wanted to recognize him also, so Kenna made a sign with a ton of Cosmic Brownies placed on it: This is what it looks like:
Here are a few of the pictures from the day. I have to tell you really fast about the tradition that they have of the GROG- some of the Sr. Cadets choose really gross ingredients (such as pickle juice with relish, cranberry juice, cheese sauce, a special secret ingredient and a few others we couldn’t hear the names of.) to add to the “clean” toilet bowl that deserving other Cadets have to drink if they have been caught doing an infraction- Col. Baranowski decides who these cadets are. So a few of these pictures are of the cadets who had to drink from the GROG.
So they are to raise their glass, toast to the Mess, drink the drink in one swig and never leaving their lips off the glass, then place the empty glass upside down on their head!
poor Lindzi didn’t want to smell the drink so she plugged her nose, still had a hard time drinking it and unfortunately spilled a little on the white part of her dress.
This poor cadet (a sr.) gagged the whole time drinking. The picture below is a picture of what he looks like. He is as a very funny kid. Great sense of humor!
Sgt, Fletcher, his daughter Audrey (who was V.P. of the Corp,) Col. B and Sgt. Elder.
Alex and Joe Roos (Joe works for the City.) We have a grand time together, him and his wife Sharon…
The MIA table. This presentation is steeped in Tradition and is so moving that I was tearing up the whole time.
Kyler and his friend Kendall
Kyler’s friend Mel and his date- Danielle (she is in the leopard print.)
all the way to the center back of this picture is Kyler standing up being inducted with 10 other kids into the Kitty Hawk Air Society.
