Other honors presented were:
• Brian Donnelly of Northlake was named a new cadet chief master sergeant;
• Cadets Miranda Ellinghaus and Justin Tjahjono of Denton and Peter Hansen of Keller were presented with the Wright Brothers Award, making them cadet non-commissioned officers; and
• Cadet Richard Ellinghaus of Denton received the Arnold Award, promoting him to cadet senior airman.
