The helicopter wasn’t the only thing buzzing around Calais on June 11, 2026!

We were proud to host educators from Calais High School aboard a UH-60 Black Hawk for an unforgettable experience and a chance to spend time with some of the people who help shape the next generation in our community.

The excitement started before takeoff and the conversations continued long after landing.

Thank you to the amazing educators who joined us and to the Soldiers and flight crew who made it happen.

Please join us in welcoming PVT Brayden Martin to the Maine Army National Guard! 🇺🇸

A native of Caribou, Maine, Brayden recently enlisted as an 11B Infantryman and is ready to take on the challenges that come with serving in one of the Army's most demanding career fields.
When asked why he chose to join, the answer was simple: adventure.

Brayden currently works on his family's potato farm, where he has learned the value of hard work, dedication, and perseverance. Before shipping to training, he'll be helping complete this year's harvest season, continuing a tradition of service to both his family and his community.

This October, he'll trade the potato fields of Aroostook County for Army training as he begins his journey as a Soldier in the Maine Army National Guard.

Congratulations, Brayden, and thank you for answering the call to serve! 💪🇺🇸

Bryan, a graduate of MCI, is currently taking a break from his Music Performance studies at the University of Maine to attend Army Basic Combat Training and the Army School of Music as a 42R Saxophonist.

Yesterday, the Maine Army National Guard Recruiting & Retention Battalion had the opportunity to host educators from across Maine for an Educator Flight aboard a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter.

These flights are more than just an unforgettable experience, they’re about building trust, strengthening relationships, and giving educators a firsthand look at the people, mission, and opportunities within the Maine Army National Guard.

Our teachers, guidance counselors, administrators, and school staff play a huge role in shaping the future of Maine’s students. By connecting directly with them, we can better work together to help young people explore paths toward education, leadership, career development, and service.

We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who joined us yesterday and to the Soldiers and flight crews who made the experience possible. Community partnerships like these help ensure we continue serving not just as Soldiers, but as neighbors, mentors, and teammates throughout the state of Maine.
