Great job cadets! #Rolltide Detachment 010 is now the proud owner of a flight simulator. Throughout the week cadets have the opportunity to come in and log flight hours, while gaining much needed practice!

Aim High, Roll Tide!
Name: Emory Crenshaw Hometown: Montgomery, AL Class year: AS400, Senior Major: Business Management with a concentration in Health Care Analytics Desired Career Field: Combat Systems Officer Extracurricular Activities/Sports/Hobbies: Hanging out with friends and watching Alabama Football Something unique about myself: My twin brother and I both grew up wanting to serve our local community and be a force of change. He chose to become a police officer and I chose the Air Force. Favorite thing about being in AFROTC: The sense of brotherhood/sisterhood found in the Cadet Corps is hard to find anywhere else. I know that the same people I’m working with now will have my back for a lifetime. Most challenging part of being in AFROTC: Time management is something that I struggled with initially. It took me about 2 years to find a good system that works for me. What leadership opportunities have you been given as a cadet in AFROTC? I previously have been the Community Service Officer and was an FTP Flight Commander. Currently I am the Operations Group Commander. What advice would you give a student thinking about becoming a cadet? Give it a shot. Even if you choose not to stay in the program until the end, the leadership lessons learned can be applied anywhere in life. Det/CC: It has been very rewarding to see Cadet Crenshaw grow as a person and leader. He has also taken on several leadership development opportunities, such organizing a fundraiser to benefit deployed military members and shadowing the Holm Center Commander, Brig Gen Maher, this past summer. His professionalism and perseverance is admirable and sets the standard for others to emulate. On Thursday, 16 September 2021, AFROTC Southeast Region Commander announced the winners! Officer Instructor: Maj Samuel Herring, Det 010 TEAM: University of Alabama, Det 010 Congratulations, Det 010 ! It took a strong team effort to make this happen! Last Saturday (11 Sep 21), at the Alabama vs Mercer football game, cadets provided security on the field for the SEC camera team!

Name: Jahnaya Cosby
Hometown: Montgomery, AL Class year: Sophomore, AS200 Major: Marketing Desired Career Field: Public Affairs (35P) Extracurricular Activities/Sports/Hobbies: Volleyball, Soccer, Volunteer with Women of Excellence, SGA DEI Cabinet, Shopping, Netflix Something unique about myself: I can say the alphabet backwards. Favorite thing about being in AFROTC: My favorite thing about being in AFROTC is the amazing friendships that I have formed this past year. The relationships I have with my wingmen are both beneficial and imperative to my success in this program. Despite the challenges we face, their motivation and guidance keep me going. Most challenging part of being in AFROTC: The most challenging part of AFROTC is the extra time commitments and finding a way to manage that time with your other classes and extracurricular activities. What leadership opportunities have you been given as a cadet in AFROTC? As an incoming sophomore, I was offered the position of being the General Military Course Assistant for the detachment. As the GMCA, I help advise and notify wing staff of the issues and concerns of the GMC cadets as well as inform GMC cadets on any updates or new information. What advice would you give a student thinking about becoming a cadet? Teamwork and taking advantage of every resource and person available to you is key to being successful in this program. Don’t be afraid to fail and ask questions because that is when you learn the most about yourself. Det/CC: Cadet Cosby is setting a great example to other cadets as our GMCA and is a great example of what we’re looking for in an Air or Space Force leader! She has made the selfless decision to serve her country and has been making every effort to achieve that goal, all while maintaining a 4.0 CGPA and scoring “Excellent” in all her physical fitness assessments. Her professionalism and moral character are evident, and I look forward to seeing her commission in the Air Force. |
