To all cadets, parents, and guests, welcome. I’m c/Col Ryan Min, and I’m the Group Commander for CA-935th AFJROTC. In this position, I’m responsible for leading the corps, working with and overseeing the other eight members of Senior Staff to keep the unit running smoothly. Together, our goal is to ensure that every cadet in the program has a fulfilling experience as they make their journey into leadership.
CA-935th is one of the most successful units around, with consistent success across all fields. And from our nationally-recognized CyberPatriot team to our dedicated Awareness Presentation Team, it’s the cadets who make this success possible. Their passion and dedication, along with a traditional emphasis on military structure and respect, are the foundation of the corps.
However, what truly makes CA-935th unique is the inherent level of camaraderie and welcome. Since my very first day in the program, I’ve always felt like I was among friends, and many of the closest bonds I’ve formed in high school have been with fellow cadets. CA-935th is a place where people’s quirks and talents are recognized and celebrated, where taking initiative is rewarded, and where our doors are always open to anyone looking to get the most out of their time in high school.
Throughout my time in the unit, I’ve been a part of Kitty Hawk, Saber Fancy Drill Team, and Logistics, and have had the chance to lead Academic Bowl as both a sergeant and a commander. I’ve been able to meet a multitude of people, some younger, some older, and some of whom were role models that continue to inspire me to this day. Now, I hope to serve in the same role they once did, and to inspire the next generation of cadets to one day do the same.
Everyone deserves a memorable high school experience, and with your help, I look forward to making it happen. Thank you for taking an interest in our corps.
c/Col Ryan Min
