Commander’s Corner
As we come off a successful last semester getting 100% on our JPA inspection, it is important that we continue to be the best and work hard. I hope that as we near the Mill Ball you will make the decision to attend as it is a very fun event. Also we are working on more field trips for our cadets to attend this semester.
We are trying to earn regimental staff for next year, with hopes that this will open up even more positions for our most dedicated cadets. Additionally, we need to find dedicated cadets to replace our seniors on staff who are leaving at the end of the school year. We are looking to start training our new staff members for next year now.
