At Squadron PT we did a LudoSport demonstration, which is basically playing with lightsabers. Here, DJ is practicing a high block against the head tap attack by Nick Morehouse.

This picture was supposed to show our workout weight set up, but Dribble just had to get in there. He encourages us to workout and asks us for bones while we do so.

DJ receives a medal for some of the work he did during 2017. It was really because the people that worked for him were awesome, but leaders often get credit for what their people do. He was glad that they also got medals.

Dj is re-enlisting for another 4 years. He had to do this once he was selected for promotion, but he would have done it anyway. It is possible it was his last time, but probably not.

DJ accepts the Squadron's Team of the Quarter award for the 4th quarter of 2017. It was a really big deal as it broke the steak of a rival flight at 4 quarters in a row.
