Senior Cadet Colonel Jocelyn A. Patino was selected as the Wing Commander for the SC AFJROTC Cadet Leadership Course held at The Citadel, June 16 - 22. Spring Valley senior and Commander of the Spring Valley JROTC Corp of Cadets, Patino bested 10 other cadets, many of them Commanders at their school for this prestigious honor. As the Wing Commander of 300 cadets, she was responsible for executing the schedule and effectively communicating the daily plan to her staff and the cadets attending the summer leadership program. She is Spring Valley's first selection as Wing Commander at the largest AFJROTC summer leadership course in the southeast.
