SUMMARY:
This week's episode is the first of a recurring segment I'm going to call "Front & Center" where I highlight some of the phenomenal cadets from AFJROTC programs across the country and around the world. In this first segment, I interview Cadet Colonel Ava Puschnigg, a senior and the Corps Commander for unit PA-942 at Ligonier Valley High School in Ligonier, Pennsylvania. Ava is a select for the AFJROTC Flight Academy and I talk to her about the selection process, her expectations for the program, and what's next for her following the Academy and graduation.

So, what is this "AFJROTC Base File[s]" all about?
In this INTRO episode, I talk a little bit about myself and my background; what makes me think I'm even qualified to DO a podcast?!
I describe how I got the idea for the show, how I decided on a name, and some of the people I think can benefit from it.
I hope everyone associated with Air Force JROTC can find something they can use and find a reason to tune in!
