Return to the latest news


Cadets interested in PTX (Physical Training eXercise) can now attend a PTX session every Thursday @ 1900.  Held at the Squadron building and led by Squadron Cadets C/2Lt. Patocs and C/SMSgt. Matheny, PTX is a great way of keeping "mission strong" for Cadets who are currently achieving the PT standards.  For Cadets working on making the grade, PTX is a "must do" for learning the correct way to achieve high PT results. No registration is required - just show up in your PT gear!

If you have questions over PTX, please do not hesitate to contact C/2Lt. Patocs, C/SMSgt. Matheny or 2Lt. Matthew Costabile.
