Awards Day

Every year at the end of May, MSgt has Awards Day for his JROTC students. Cpl. Laurel has been promoted to platoon sargeant, effective today at 1600 hours. She expects to continue in JROTC next year, and wants to try out for the color guard.

This year, we're having an unusually cool May. I remember frying in blistering sun for Pat's awards day ceremonies; today, although it was sunny, the north wind was cold, and moms were wrapping their shorts-clad kids inside their windbreakers.

ROTC was a small program this year, according to MSgt, but will more than double with the entrance of over 130 freshman next September. Go Laurel!
