The Squadron 18 Color Guard members consisted of 5 cadets-4 Cadet NCOs and 1 Cadet Airman. Judges ranged from the members of the Vandenberg AFB Honor Guard to a Marine (Pictured above). At the competition, three other California Wing Groups were represented by their respective Color Guards. Representative cadets were judged in uniform appearance, physical fitness, aerospace history and science, and Color Guard drill and presentation (Pictured above). In the evening after the first day of the competition, all the participant cadets enjoyed leisure time at the Vandenberg AFB bowling alley. At the conclusion of the competition, Squadron 18 cadets earned 1st in physical fitness and shared 1st place with another team in the aerospace 'academic bowl.' Although the Squadron 18 Color Guard competed diligently, Squadron 47 (representing South Coast Group 7) won 1st place overall. Squadron 18 is proud to have represented San Francisco Bay Group 2 and is looking forward to next year.
