Change of command is always a bittersweet moment, as our seniors pass down their leadership roles to the next class. We are proud to announce next year’s Top Four cadet leadership: Cadet Ciobanu as Battalion Commander, Cadet Ryan as Command Sergeant Major, Cadet Leithead as Executive Officer, and Cadet Hartley as S3.

We are excited to see what this leadership team will accomplish, along with the rest of the cadet leadership, as they continue to build and strengthen the program!

This week’s PT competition was a success. Great job to CDT Ryan for conducting the event, and to everyone else who played a role in making it happen.

The competition consisted of four phases. In phase one, each group completed a one-mile run. Phase two required teams to carry water jugs for approximately seven laps 80m, followed by a quiz on actions on the objective. Phase three included CrossFit-style exercises, leading into a gr***de and patrol base knowledge quiz. Phase four consisted of a 3:40 plank and hand-release push-ups, followed by a troop leading procedures assessment.
