TICONDEROGA | Ticonderoga High School Principal John Donohue was part of the U.S. Air Force Distinguished Educator Tour Program during spring break recently. The Air Force Recruiting Service sponsored trip is a way to see how the U.S. Air Force recruits, trains, educates and employs active-duty airmen. The principal met with the Flying Training Squadron at Randolph Air Force Base at Universal City, Texas and spoke with a pilot about his training and education.
Donohue said he was shown one of the training jet fighters and learned how both beginning pilots and instructors were trained. “I was particularly interested and impressed with the emphasis the Air Force places on further education,” he said. “It was very important to every person I met to continue their education. He said the Air Force has developed partnerships with different colleges and universities for airmen to earn many different degrees of study. “It is amazing,” Donohue said. “It is a great opportunity that I believe is often overlooked by our students.” Another stop was the Fort Sam Houston Military Medical Center, to see how individuals are trained as medical personnel for all branches of the military at the shared facility.
