Labanz chosen for ROTC scholarship

FALLBROOK – Trevor F. Labanz has been awarded an Air Force ROTC scholarship to attend a host college or university. High school seniors from across the United States are selected after a competitive application process based on comprehensive tests scores, scholastic achievement, school officials’ evaluations, extra-curricular activities, and community involvement.

Upon graduating from college and completing the ROTC program, the cadets are commissioned as second lieutenants in the Air Force. The new lieutenants select and enter various career fields to train as pilots, navigators, engineers, medical, personnel, business management fields, and special operations.

Labanz is the son of Karen Labanz-Barnes, stepson of Harold Barnes, and grandson of Jackie Thurston, of Fallbrook, Calif.; and son of Frank Labanz of San Diego, Calif.

Labanz is currently a student at Fallbrook Union High School.
