Good job everyone on Commander’s Call! It was so intense to be stared in the face by the marines, and it was such a fun experience to see all the flights! Inspection was so scary, but it was worth it in the end. The reviewer gave us a great score! All our hard work paid off! Pat yourselves on the back and don’t drink all the eggnog!

Hi guys, it’s Villa here! Or Veeeela ac-cording to the instructors...haha. I hope your grades are going well this quarter! So I have a few things to mention to you guys. First of all, I’d like to congratulate Charlie Flight on an amazing Commander’s Call. However, ALL flights did well, and completely im-pressed our guests. Also I’d like to congratulate the entire Corps on your dedication and hard work that was recognized by the inspector in the Headquarters In-spection. I was really nervous, but every-thing turned out great. The Inspection

was my OPR to conduct, but I couldn't have made it happen without all of the other Fourth–Years! I’d like the Corps to know how appreciative I am of them and

that they are the best peers I could ever ask for. Have a very merry Christmas, stay safe, and eat lots! But be care-ful—don't do what I did last year and eat too much, cuz you may have to get new blues pants when you come home from break!
