The first phase saw the squadron members donning their hiking boots and exploring the rugged, yet breathtaking, terrain of Cyprus. Leading the hikes were Staff Sergeant Eveson, Major Bob Case, and Padre Sutton. With trails ranging from moderate to challenging, the squadron was put to the test, navigating rocky paths and steep inclines. The hikes were not only a test of physical endurance but also an opportunity to soak in the stunning vistas, from verdant hills to azure coastlines. Each step taken was a step towards building stronger bonds and unshakeable team spirit.
