Brig. Gen. Michael Garshak, commanding general of the Idaho National Guard, along with other state officials, as well as principals from local Treasure Valley high schools, had the opportunity to visit the facilities, staff, and cadets at the Idaho Youth ChalleNGe Academy located in Pierce, Idaho on Sept. 10, 2018. Here, they judged a drill and ceremony competition. The program's primary focus is reclaiming the lives of 16 to 18-year-olds who are at risk or have dropped out of high school, by getting them back on a path necessary to succeed as adults. Cadets are on their ninth week of the current 22-week program. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Master Sgt. Becky Vanshur)
