<p>Cadet candidates recognized for first-aid efforts</p>

<p>Traveling home from an away game for the Preparatory School’s volleyball team used to be uneventful. That changed Oct. 21 on a return trip from Kansas when their bus had to pull over to avoid what remained of a head-on collision. With prior emergency medical experience, two cadet candidates provided care while a third helped control the gathering crowd until emergency responders could arrive. For their efforts, the three cadet candidates earned the Air Force Achievement Medal.</p>
