S1:Ep3 "Front & Center" with C/Col Ava Puschnigg Flight Academy Select

SUMMARY:
This week's episode is the first of a recurring segment I'm going to call "Front & Center" where I highlight some of the phenomenal cadets from AFJROTC programs across the country and around the world. In this first segment, I interview Cadet Colonel Ava Puschnigg, a senior and the Corps Commander for unit PA-942 at Ligonier Valley High School in Ligonier, Pennsylvania. Ava is a select for the AFJROTC Flight Academy and I talk to her about the selection process, her expectations for the program, and what's next for her following the Academy and graduation.
