US Air Force Academy cadets visit 305th Air Mobility Wing

Maj. Daniel Moore, 23rd Cadet Squadron commanding air officer, gifts a framed 23rd CS flag to Maj. Chase Bradley, 305th Air Mobility Wing chief of Commanders Action Group, and Col. Jacqueline Breeden, 305th AMW commander for putting together a visit for the cadets on Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, New Jersey, Nov. 17, 2019. The 305th AMW sponsors the squadron and hosts the cadets approximately every other year for education on how the enlisted force contributes to Air Force operations and what opportunities are available to the cadets after they graduate. “The Wing really rolled out all the stops for us,” said Moore. “It was so well planned, everyone we met was so professional, so sharp and each embodied the ‘Can Do’ attitude. We couldn’t be more grateful. I think, for myself and the cadets, we walked away with a better understanding of the Wing, the mission and the Airmen.” (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Ariel Owings)
