The ACE Basin Composite Squadron received the 2023 Quality Cadet Unit Award for the 5th year in a row!  “Any cadet unit that displays strong programs fundamentals can earn” this award, which is intended to “identify squadrons that are flourishing.” The ten objective criteria used to evaluate squadrons for this award cover diverse measures of squadron success including:  cadet enrollment, orientation flight participation, cadet promotions, emergency service training, aerospace education activities, community service and senior member progress. 

The ACE Basin Squadron welcomed members of the Hiram E. Mann Chapter of The Tuskegee Airmen to the Low Country Regional Airport in Walterboro this past Saturday to share with the Squadron the enduring legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen.  Presentations were made by U.S. Air Force Veterans James Hampton and Barron Wilkins, followed by a Question and Answer session by phone with Tuskegee Airman Dr. Eugene J. Richardson, Jr. Cadet Senior Airman Kaytie Schweizer summed up what she learned saying the Tuskegee Airmen “showed the power of confidence and perseverance.”  A big thank you goes out to Colleton County Treasurer Becky Hill for making the venue available.
