Ayuyu of Rota, who has a rank of warrant officer 1 in the U.S. Army, graduated from the U.S. Army Aviation Center of Excellence last July 19, 2018, making him the first fixed wing aviator from the Marianas to do so.<\/p>\n<p>Ayuyu, the son of Juan M. Ayuyu and Alvina A. Ayuyu, completed his training at Fort Rucker, Alabama. <\/p>\n<p>Ayuyu graduated from Warrant Officer Candidate School in April 2017 and has completed the Overwater Survival Training and Survival Evasion Resistance and Escape courses. <\/p>\n<p>This year, he set his sights higher, finishing at the top of his class in the Initial Entry Rotary Wing Course flying UH-72 Lakota helicopters. <\/p>\n<p>During his Advance Aircraft Selection, he selected the U.S. Army\u2019s C-12 airplane. Ayuyu has completed the Army\u2019s C-12 Initial Entry fixed Wing Course and is now current and qualified. <\/p>\n<p>The U.S. Army has selected Ayuyu to attend the DHC-7 Aircraft Qualification Course this fall and ultimately will remain as his primary fixed wing aircraft.<\/p>\n<p>Ayuyu will be stationed in South Korea and will soon be joined by his wife, Kristin P. Ayuyu, and their daughters, Sophia and Olivia. <strong>(PR)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John A.
