Arnold Air Society

Arnold Air Society is a professional, honorary. service organization, advocating the support of aerospace power. The Lt. Col Horace M. Hickam Squadron is Detachment 175’s very own active squadron. Consisting of numerous cadets and honorary members, the members of Arnold Air Society aim to develop themselves through Professional Development Training, community service, and networking. Every year cadets will have the opportunity to attend NATCON, a national conclave consisting of thousands of Arnold Air Society members from across the nation.

To be an active member, cadets enter a 10 week candidate course that aims to grow them into professional and confident leaders. After passing a national test and a vigorous training exercise, cadets have the honor of initiating as an active member, wearing the fourragere and rank pin on their uniform to signify their
membership.

Here are just a few examples of what we do:

  • participate in the Relay for Life with the American Cancer Society
  • attend First Saturdays at the Kanewai Lo’i
  • send a delegation to our Area and National Conventions
  • volunteer at local JROTC events such as the Punahou Triathlon and NJROTC Harbor Challenge

Along with the personal growth accompanying these service opportunities, the members of Horace M. Hickam Squadron also gain a keener sense of professionalism and responsibility through their leadership positions within the society.  This has led to several Area-level staff appointments, and a successful bid to host the Area X Convention for Fall 2018.  To find out more about Arnold Air Society, visit arnold-air.org.
