Zoë Camp Hometown: Powder Springs, GA Class year: AS300 Major: Computer Engineering Desired Career Field: Cyberspace Operations Extracurricular Activities/Sports/Hobbies: Modeling, dancing, making hair tutorials, anything arts and crafts related, and cooking Something unique about myself: I have a fraternal twin sister that attends Albany State University in Georgia. Favorite thing about being in AFROTC: My favorite thing about being in AFROTC is having a positive impact on others. I love encouraging and motivating others, so to see and hear that my efforts are appreciated is the best feeling. Most challenging part of being in AFROTC: For me, time management has to be the most challenging part of being in AFROTC. You are balancing not only school, life, and work, but also the program itself. It can become a lot to handle sometimes. What leadership opportunities have you been given as a cadet in AFROTC? As a POC, I have been a 100 Flight Commander and now I am the Diversity and Inclusion Commander. What advice would you give a student thinking about becoming a cadet? “The glass is half full.” Remain optimistic and continue to have faith when things get rough. As a cadet, you will be faced with many challenges that you must push through in order to succeed. Life will get in the way, but it’s all about how you handle each situation. Mindset is everything. On 24 Feb 22, Col Caranta, the AFROTC Southeast Region Commander, and MSgt Wooldridge visited Det 010. Thank you for the words of wisdom and motivating our cadets. #RollTide
Last year, Det 010 met Lt Col Kenyatta "Deacon" Ruffin, F-16 pilot and 71 OSS/CC at Vance AFB, who made a stop at the Tuscaloosa Airport on 28 Feb 2021 for a show and tell. He is a lifetime member of the Air Force Association and Tuskegee Airmen, Incorporated and has over 2,500 flying hours in civilian and military aircraft, as well as numerous FAA pilot license ratings and certificates. He is also the founder of Legacy Flight Academy, which inspires minority youth to pursue careers in aviation and raises awareness about benefits and opportunities in the military, his efforts leading to his recognition at the BET Awards during a "Shine the Light" segment.
