PUERTO RICO -- Six members of the Lajas High School Cadet Squadron joined cadets from across Puerto Rico for a wing Ranger School this summer at CROEM, the Residential Center of Educational Opportunities of Mayaguez.
Participants learned and practiced skills in such activities as search and rescue, map reading, air-to-ground and ground-to-air signals, physical fitness and more during the one-week encampment.
Along with new or expanded skills, the cadets received a distinctive patch and an orange cap. All said they enjoyed the valuable learning experience, and they hope to participate in similar sessions again.
