Newsletter will be uploaded soon!

Det 172 is starting the Spring Semester strong! We have so much to get ready for, PSP slots should be dropping for our cadets going to Field Training. We have had our first official PFA, and our seniors have entered their last semester as a cadet and a college student and are awaiting their first set of orders.

“As I reflect on how my 4 years as a cadet at Det 172 helped prepare and shape me into the officer I am today, I have to give most of the credit to the cadre and cadets that surrounded me. The cadre continued to push me into opportunities that challenged my abilities as a leader, exercised my problem-solving skills and pushed my mental and physical abilities to higher levels!

 Det 172 was foundational to my abilities as an officer in the Air Force, each class, each Leadership Lab, each duty, each member of the cadre and the cadets I served with, all instrumental. I couldn’t be prouder than to draw my Air Force beginnings to Det 172!”
