Important Reminders
Howdy Hurricanes! My name is C/LTC Giovanny Pirone, I am the Battalion Commander of the Klein Cain Hurricane Battalion for the 2024-2025 school year! I am eternally grateful and honored to serve as this unit's Battalion Commander and will strive to make this battalion as good and involved as possible. Despite being the only Army JROTC unit in Klein ISD, I seek to further develop the battalion to become the best in the district. With the help of my staff and leadership, I aim to ensure that the battalion grows further in terms of professionalism and greatness among our competing teams by ensuring competitiveness in them.
Previously, I served as the Battalion Executive Officer and the Armed Drill and Saber Team Commander. These roles have granted me the required leadership experience and previous responsibilities to take on the challenge of being the Battalion Commander. As an LET 4, I have been in the program throughout my high school career, meaning that I have seen it develop to where it is now, allowing me to view its shortcomings and improve on those areas. In my experience, JROTC has developed me into what I am today, and it has given me the values that I currently have today. My goal after high school is to enlist in the United States Marine Corps and later commission as an Officer.
Overall, I am thrilled to take the honor of being Battalion Commander and further leading the battalion to become more successful and I am excited for our Cadets to find a new home in our program. Reign Cain!
