On 22 May 2026, Detachment 128 commissioned eight new Second Lieutenants into the United States Air Force.

Three of our AS200 (sophomore) cadets were awarded highly competitive AFROTC In-College Scholarships. These scholarships cover tuition and fees for the remainder of each cadet’s undergraduate education. Detachment 128 was one of only six detachments in the region to receive three or more scholarships and was the smallest detachment to achieve this distinction. 

In coordination with the 166th Airlift Wing, Delaware Air National Guard, Detachment 128 provided 18 cadets the opportunity to participate in a C-130 incentive flight to and from Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. The experience gave cadets interested in rated careers firsthand exposure to military flight operations, including preflight procedures, aircrew responsibilities, and in-flight operations.

Detachment 128 cadets volunteer monthly with the 166th Airlift Wing of the Delaware Air National Guard, partnering with local Civil Air Patrol cadets to support reservists at the Dining Facility during drill weekends. This recurring service opportunity allows cadets; particularly those interested in Force Support careers to gain firsthand insight into the day-to-day responsibilities of Services Airmen.

Detachment 128 celebrated two well-earned promotions this summer. Staff Sergeant La’Terry Hardy, our newest cadre member and enlisted instructor, was selected for promotion to Technical Sergeant. Additionally, our Administrative Assistant, Ms. Millicent Murray, was promoted to Business Administrator.
