Current Commander: Cadet Lieutenant Commander Hollenbeck
There are two academic teams:
Standard Academic Team
This team goes to drill meets and takes a 100 question test in a 60 minute period at the designated time.
The majority of the exam (about 2/3) deals with knowledge from the NS1, NS2, and NS3 books.
Of the remaining 1/3, about 2/3 have to do with SAT/ACT questions (Math, Vocabulary, and Grammar).
The remaining questions are about current affairs (State, National, International, and Outer Space).
To prepare for the this test, the academic team commander sends out quizzes on 'Quia' through the group me phone application or e-mail at least once a week.
These questions can also be accessed by logging into the website directly or can be found at the bottom of this page.
Brain Brawl Team
One or two team participate in their own competitions in which both NS1, NS2, NS3 knowledge and reaction time is tested.
Each team consisting of four members has to add up to no more than ten points.
Seniors: 4 points
Juniors: 3 points
Sophomores: 2 points
Freshmen: 1 point
When a question pertaining to ROTC knowledge is asked, the first person to register in (with specialized competition buttons) can either gain the team 10 points or lose 5.
If the answer is correct, a follow-up question is asked to the team as a chance to gain more points.
Teams who host their own Brain Brawls, designate jobs to each of its teammates.
Questions are selected from the NS1, NS2, and NS3 textbooks.
'Bonus' trivia questions must also be determined.
Question-asking cadets and technology-rounded cadets are also a necessary function for the events.
It is possible to participate in both teams, however it is the Academic Commander's job to determine the teams for Brain Brawl. There is a certain level of commitment required: all members of the overall academic team MUST take the quizzes on Quia or else they will not be considered as participants.
