Cadet Maj. Joshua Myrick was recently named Cadet of the Year by the Hawaii Wing of the Civil Air Patrol. This award nominates him to compete for the Pacific Region award of the same name and on to National Cadet of the Year should he be selected by the region.

Twice, he has testified before the County Council on behalf of bills that support West Hawaii Veterans Cemetery and the annual Wreaths Across America Ceremony, effectively helping raise more than $8,000 and volunteers in many other facets.

Lawrence Barrett for the Air Force Sergeants Assoc. Cadet NCO of the Year and 1st Lt. Antony Mitchell for the Public Affairs Officer of the Year.
