AIRPAC is About Honor

In addition to drilling and training, cadets are also involved in performing community service and conducting color guard and honor guard ceremonies. In the military, the color guard is a small number of soldiers (four to five) charged with protecting the flag and performing flag-raising or flag-lowering ceremonies.

In May 2006, the officers and cadets of AIRPAC Squadron were proud to make the seven-hour trip north from Santa Barbara to Marysville to render honors at the Museum of Forgotten Warriors

In addition to performing color guard and honor guard duties, on occasion AIRPAC plays host to visiting dignitaries. During those visits, AIRPAC often provides the VIP the opportunity to do what's called, ‘trooping the line’.  Trooping the line gives a VIP the opportunity to inspect and question the cadets and gives each cadet a little special time with the VIP. 

Forming up for U.S. Congressman Wally Herger, AIRPAC Cadets anxiously await inspection and their opportunity to shine.
