“Senior Airman Gurule was able to complete a task that has not been accomplished by many and if it was easy, everyone would grab the ACE award,” said 364th Training Squadron aircraft hydraulics systems instructor DeJuan Wallace. “Not only did he master his own studies, but he also helped younger Airmen achieve their goals.”

Maj. Gen. Leahy recently toured training detachments in Europe as well as meeting with dignitaries in Saudi Arabia.

Pathways to Blue concluded yesterday and these cadets are one step closer to making their decision on joining the world’s greatest Air Force. We’d like to say thanks to the almost 300 Air Force ROTC cadets from various colleges and universities as far north as Columbus, Maryland and as far south as Puerto Rico who took time out of their busy schedules to learn more about what the Air Force has to offer them. TRAIN, DEVELOP, INSPIRE! #2ndtonone

The thunderstorm this morning may have cancelled our run but it will not stop or mentors from teaching these future Air Force officers about the options available to them. These cadets and Airmen are learning about what it takes to become a combat systems officer and the many aircraft they fly.

To round out the first day of Pathways to Blue, cadets and Airmen met with mentors from various jobs in a speed mentoring session. Maj. Gen. Leahy, had this to say about the importance of mentoring these potential new Air Force officers. "Every Air Force leader learns that the most important job is to grow your replacement. Our nation has been challenged since its beginning and no generation has been spared the requirement to put on their uniform and fight for our nation. The most important thing we do is sustain our nations military force so it stays the most capable and dominant force in the world. The way we do that is by bringing in eager cadets and Airmen that are asking 'Where can I serve the Air Force'."

Pathways to Blue continues to inspire young ROTC cadets and Airmen by showing off a couple aircraft they could pilot if they choose to commission into the Air Force. Cadet Poul Pathak, University of Houston Air Force Det 003, had this to say: "Pathways to Blue has been fun and I've been able to meet a lot of people. This is my first time seeing military aircraft and being on a military base. The helicopter was my favorite aircraft so far but I'm excited to learn more about cyber operations and how to become a remotly piloted aircraft pilot."
