2012 Joint Services Open House2012 Joint Services Open House
On May 18, three senior
members and a record 16 cadets
from the Martinsburg Compo-
site Squadron drove two hours
to Joint Base Andrews in Mary-
land to attend the 2012 Joint
Services Open House and Air
Show, along with members
from Mercer Squadron. The
members from Mercer Squad-
ron camped out in the squadron
hanger, both the night before
and the night after the air showsince they had more than a five
-hour drive home.
The Martinsburg cadets did an
outstanding job doing a variety
of different tasks at the air
show, including VIP escort,
food service, aircraft security,
Drug Demand Reduction, re-
cruiting and much more. The
cadets received several compli-
ments for their hard work and a
job well done.
"Despite waking up very early
and having to drive from Mar-
tinsburg to Joint Base Andrews,
the cadets did an outstanding
job and could not have made
West Virginia Wing more
proud," said C/2d Lt. John Dye.
"The cadets returned home with
smiles on their faces, stories totell and more likely than not,
sleep on their minds. Given all
the things they had to work
around at the air show, they did
an amazing job."

I especially want to mention
he cadets who attended theCLTC. The cadets who attend-ed this years CLTC were re-quired to prepare a 3 to 5 mi-nute speech on some DDR
elated topic. Since publicpeaking is a major topic of the
CLTC, we used the new nation-al DDR Speech Contest as a
basis for the cadets presenta-ions this year. The cadets did
an excellent job of researching,preparing, and practicing their
peeches, remarked West Vir-ginia Wing Commander andraining weekend coordinator,
Col Dennis D. Barron.
Martinsburgs C/SSgt Dustin E.Smith placed 3rd in this eventand will be submitting his vide-
otaped speech to NationalHeadquarters for the DDRSpeech Contest.
