On May 22nd, 2024, we celebrated our annual Awards Ceremony, and what an exciting day it was! We recognized the incredible achievements of our cadets, with many receiving awards and ribbons for their hard work and dedication.

Towards the end of the ceremony, our current Group Commander, August Johnson, delivered his final remarks, and we proudly welcomed our new Group Commander, Madison Moran. While we're sad to see our seniors depart as they pursue further education, careers, or military service, we're thrilled to see our emerging leaders prepare for a successful year ahead.

It is with mixed emotions that we also bid farewell to our esteemed Aerospace Science Instructor, Colonel Paul Johnson. We congratulate him on his retirement and thank him for the profound impact he has had on many lives, guiding and shaping our cadets' best memories. Colonel Johnson, your presence in Unit MN 20141 will be greatly missed, and we wish you happiness in your next chapter. We hope to see you around!

A special thanks to Mella Yang for capturing this year's Awards Ceremony through her beautiful photography.

Congratulations to all the cadets! Have a fantastic summer, and here's to bigger and better things next year!

On May 10th-11th, 35 of our dedicated cadets participated in our annual Bataan Death March camping and hiking event at William O'Brien State Park. They accomplished an impressive 14-mile hike and had the privilege of being joined by former cadet Paul Boelk, with special visits from Brianna Hendren and Mella Yang.

On the evening of May 10th, our cadets set up their tents, bonded over MRE dinners, and wrapped up the night with fire watch and s'mores. The next morning, they fueled up with MREs for breakfasts and competed in our annual squad competition. This year’s challenge involved racing to retrieve flags along a designated path and bringing them back to camp. We concluded the morning with a flag ceremony before embarking on the final stretch of our 14-mile hike.

We are incredibly proud of our cadets for finishing strong! Great job, everyone, and we can’t wait for next year’s adventure!

Thank you Mella Yang for taking these photos!

On April 19th, 2024, we celebrated our annual Military Ball, graciously hosted by North Senior High. Our cadets looked stunning in their full-service attire, elegant prom-style dresses, and sharp suits. The event offered a wonderful opportunity for our unit to present the colors, with cadets Mars Lairson, Carter Peterson, Jackson Thelander, and Conner Wessle. We were privileged to hear from North's esteemed guest speaker, Colonel Samuel J. Kraemer, during the event. After a delightful dinner, it was time to let loose and dance the night away!

We also want to express our heartfelt thanks to Mella Yang for providing her exceptional photography and film services, capturing the night's memorable moments. A special thanks to North Senior High for hosting us. We can't wait for next year's celebration!
