Walker Sosebee earned a private pilots license after completing a Liberty University training course, which was funded by the Air Force Flight Academy Scholarship he won while in CHSs Air Force Junior ROTC program. He was one of 120 AFJROTC cadets around the world to receive the scholarship, valued at approximately $20,000.

There is truly no way to describe the honor one feels, he said. This whole program has truly been a blessing upon my life, and I cannot wait to see it change more lives in the future.

Lt. Col. Eddy Stanfill taught Sosebee in Cherokee High Schools AFJROTC program.

Walker Sosebee has been a crown jewel of this program, Lt. Col. Stanfill said. The four years he spent in our program helped him to mature, take leadership responsibilities to heart, and deeply root the core values of the USAF: integrity, service, and excellence. I wish I had a dozen Walker Sosebees.
