The Waterman – Twining Chapter has eleven high school AFJROTC units within our Chapter area: Durant, Bloomingdale, Middleton, Blake, H.B. Plant, Jefferson, Sickles, River Ridge, Springstead, St. Petersburg, and Hernando. 

The Chapter tries to have a Chapter member at each AFJROTC unit’s Awards Ceremony and present the AFA AFJROTC Cadet of the Year Award. Here are some photos of ceremonies we were able to attend.
