Cadet Graduates

Graduation is a word that invokes many emotions for those who are involved with cadets graduating from 140 Aurora Squadron: for their parents and family - pride, for the Squadron’s officers - satisfaction for a job well done, for the Sponsoring Committee - proof of dollars and volunteer hours well spent.

It is all wrapped up in the graduating cadet. Whether he or she has spent their entire cadet career at 140, or has transferred in from another squadron, graduation day is the culmination of up to seven years of dedication to the Squadron’s mission, goals and objectives, and in a broader sense, to the Aurora community. Graduating cadets are at the end of their cadet career, but are also at the beginning of a new stage of young adulthood, for which their years as a cadet has helped prepare them.

140 Aurora Squadron is proud of its graduates. All of them have left the Squadron with memories of their contribution. We hope the alumni are as proud of their accomplishments within the Squadron, and we look forward to hearing about their future successes. All of them embody the Squadron’s motto:
