Welcome to CA-935, Air Force JROTC!
I’m excited to begin my 1st year with the OUTSTANDING CA-935 Program! During my 9 years of AFJROTC in SOCAL I’ve witnessed the incredible accomplishments and dominating spirit of the cadets and leaders here at Scripps Ranch. As you already know, MSgt T has developed one of the top units in AFJROTC and I’m looking forward to joining him in leading this unit. I expect to be focused on learning this year and look forward to getting to know the cadets of CA-935. I fully support the mission of AFJROTC - "Develop citizens of character dedicated to serving their nation and community" and believe the curriculum and activities in this program fully support this mission.
This year I will be teaching the “Milestones in Aviation History” (AS-100) learning/ module/ curriculum to the freshmen & first year cadets and “Cultural Studies An Introduction to Global Awareness” (AS-220) to all upperclassmen cadets.
