By the time this newsletter arrives, the holiday season will be over, so I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable holiday. From my position (foxhole for the Army and Marines) the ROA needs to start focus- ing on recruiting new members. We need to tailor the organization to the new members or our numbers will continue to decline until we are no longer relevant. The bright news is that our changes has shown some progress, and we have had new members join this year. We need to be aggressive in our approach and talk to new members. Donald W.

Bronka Lt. Colonel, USAF, Retired, Vice President Air Force Section F35 Combat Power Exercise: Active and Reserve I have to recognize that as far as reserve mis- sion integration, the Air Force is outstanding. Pic- tured here are F35’s on the runway with pilots from the 388th active duty wing and the 419th reserve wing taxiing on the runway in preparation for a com- bat power exercise November 19, 20 at Hill Air Force Base, Utah. During the exercise, the wings confirmed their ability to employ a large force of jets against air and ground targets, demonstrating the readiness and lethality of the F35 Lightning II. As the first combat- ready units in the air force both the active duty and F35 Combat Power Exercise reserve wing are ready to deploy anywhere in the world at a moment’s notice. Both wings conducted a combat power exercise launching dozens of F35A aircraft within a condensed period of time. Th wings fly between 30-60 sorties per day from Hill’s flight line. During the exercise, they launched roughly the same number of sorties, and aircraft took off in 20-40 second intervals. Launching aircraft from multiple squadrons simultaneously presents various challenges and allows the wings to evaluate the capabilities of maintenance professionals, as well as pilots and command and control teams. As the Air Force’s only combat ready F35A units, the 388th and 419th FWs must be prepared to launch any number of aircraft to sup- port the national defense mission at a moments notice. Do you think there was any level of competition between the wings? Article extracted from the 388th PA article published 19 Novem- ber 2018 T HE M ICHIGAN R ESERVIST – ISSUE 1 - 2019 PAGE 3 ROTC Director ROA Department of Michigan, Colonel Keith Sousa, US Army Reserve (Retired) ROTC SCHOLARSHIPS Greetings and Happy Holidays. With the rising cost of college tuition, books, and other expenses of geting a higher education, one great way to cover these expenses is by being awarded an ROTC scholarship. The Air Force, Army, and Navy all offer up to four year scholarships for high school scholarship recipients, and two, three and four year scholarships available for col- lege students who are already attending, depending on how many years of college they have already com- pleted. The Marine Corps offers two, three, and four year scholarships as a part of Navy ROTC. The Air Force, Army and Navy also offer Nursing ROTC scholarships for those students who have completed at least one year of college. Included within these scholarships, are funds to cover tuition, books, fees, and provide a monthly cost of living stipend. Stipends vary from $300 per semester for Freshmen to $350 for Sophomores, to $450 for Juniors and $500 per semester for Seniors. To be eligible for scholarships, students (high school or college) must be U.S. citizens (or have the ability to become citizens by the time of commissioning) , have scored 1180 on the SAT exams, or ACT composite of 26. In addition, students must be at least 17 years old by the time they accept a scholarship, and no older than 31 at the year of commissioning. For students already attending college and looking for a two, three or four year scholarship, they must have achieved a GPA of 2.5 out of 4, and have completed at least 30 semester hours (45 quarter hours), and no more than 120 semester hours (203 quarter hours) The Navy also offers ROTC scholarships to students enrolled in Minority Serving Institutions (MSI) (which are comprised primarily of Black or Hispanic colleges or universities) who have achieved an ACT of 21 or higher. These students receive tuition, $375 per semester for books, and $250 - $400 monthly stipend. Each of the scholarship applicants for all ROTC programs (Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, and Navy) must also complete a physical fitness test (tests differ depending on the branch of service) along with letters of recommendation prior to being awarded a scholarship. ROTC scholarships and the additional fees for books, and other stipends may vary depending on the school. In the state of Michigan, the schools that offer ROTC scholarships include; Central Eastern Michigan (Army) , Eastern Michigan University (Army), Ferris State University (Army), Michigan State University (Air Force/Army), Michigan Tech (Air Force/Army), Northern Michigan University (Army), The University of Michigan (Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, Navy), and Wayne State University (Army). ROTC scholarships are excellent ways of paying for college for those students who, upon graduation from ROTC become commissioned Officers and are willing to take on greater responsibility, leadership roles, be responsible for those Soldiers, Marines, Sailors, and Airmen within their commands, and to be accountable for millions of dollars of equipment. So, if you have kids, grandkids, family members or friends who have children who are interested in finding ways of funding higher education, as well as serving as leaders in the military, ROTC scholarships may be a great opportunity for them. PAGE 4 T HE M ICHIGAN R ESERVIST – ISSUE 1 - 2019 Navy, Marines, Coast Guard, Public Health Service, NOAA ROA Department of Michigan, CDR Jim Semerad, US Navy (Retired) Navy Update We are closing out 2018 and ushering in 2019. It is important to reflect on the developments in 2018 and consider the challenges in the new year. In 2018, Detroit, Michigan celebrated the port visit of 2 LCS ships in November, PCS 11 USS Sioux City and PCS 13 Wichita. The signifi- cance is that these ships are built in the Great Lakes at Marinette Marine north of Green Bay, the only shipyard building Navy ships in the Great Lakes. USS Sioux City (LCS-11) is a Freedom- class littoral combat ship of the United States Navy. It is the first ship named after Sioux City, the fourth- largest city in Iowa. The ceremonial “laying of the keel” was on 19 February 2014, at Marinette, Wisconsin. The ship was constructed by Fincantieri Marinette Marine and launched on 30 January 2016 after being chris- tened by its sponsor, Mrs. Mary Winnefield. Sioux City was acquired by the US Navy from Lockheed Martin and the Marinette Marine shipyard on 22 August 2018 along with USS Wichita (LCS-13) in a double delivery. The ship was commissioned at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland on 17 November 2018. CDR Mark Ernst and some members of the Commanders Club in Michigan attended the ceremony. The ship will be assigned to the Fifth Fleet in the Persian Gulf. USS Wichita (LCS 13) will be commissioned Jan. 12, 2019, at Naval Station Mayport, Fla., near Jack- sonville, where the ship will be homeported, Navy officials have announced. USS Wichita is the 13th vessel in the Freedom class of littoral combat ships, the Navy’s fastest and most versatile warships. Congratulations to Army again this year for the Army Navy game win. Members of the US Naval Academy Alumni Assn and Westpoint enjoyed the fellowship at George Murphy's Restaurant (Country Club) in Livonia.

    The City of Yankton would like to thank Dave Hosmer for all of his time spent interviewing each of these Veterans, along with the countless presentations that he has put on to spread the message about our Veterans. The City of Yankton would also like to thank the Veterans, their families, their friends, and their supporters in sharing their experiences. Without you, we would not live in a country that is free. Thank you to all Veterans for your sacrifices. Raymond Pravecek Raymond Pravecek was born in rural Tyndall where his grandfather homesteaded. Both of his parents are of Czech heritage. In October of 1915, his parents moved to North Dakota. Two years later they moved back. His father was not active in WW1, but he was called to duty and then the War ended. The Depression was tough on his family. Dirt was three feet deep on fence posts. He tended their cattle in ditches because their pastures were so burned up. They raked Russian thistles and stacked them for feed. He turned 18 in 1944 and was drafted in the Spring of 1945. He met Alice Melichar at a dance just prior to leaving for boot camp. It was so hot at Camp Fannin, Texas that you could see your footprint in the blacktop! That didn’t stop him and Ray Goebbels; they once walked 8 miles to purchase two watermelons. They were tasty.
