Summer Activities

This summer, six of our cadets were granted the opportunity to go to Leadership Academy or Sailing Academy. Four of them, Cadet Petty Officer Second Class Elizabeth Bell, Cadet Petty Officer Third Class Brenna Bronder (me), Cadet Seaman Mitchel Lindgren, and Cadet Petty Officer First Class Jeff Joaquin, took on the challenges that arose during the time they attended Leadership Academy. Now that we are experienced and well-trained cadets with a higher sense of authority, leadership, and citizenship, we will be promoted as officers and ultimately take on positions in the Cadet Chain of Command and improve our unit however we can.

 Now as the Operation Officer, Cadet Petty Officer Second Class Elizabeth Bell is in charge of all the events we participate in ROTC. She is in charge of organizing and constructing events so that we know what competition we're doing next, when we're doing it, and for how long we have to prepare for it. Cadet Seaman Mitchel Lindgren is now our Administration Officer and will handle paperwork such as, attendance, grades, and giving speeches. Cadet Petty Officer First Class Jeff Joaquin is our new Ordnance Officer, which is the one who handles the drill and air rifles. His job is to fix, clean, and manage all the rifles we use for competitions. I, Cadet Petty Officer Third Class Brenna Bronder, am the new Public Affairs Officer, which means I'm in charge of our website, writing articles for the events we go to, and keep the newspaper informed of what we do as a unit.

 The other three of our cadets, Cadet Lieutenant Everett Lopez, Cadet Lieutenant Tyler Moore, and Cadet Petty Officer First Class Emmanuel Ramos had the honor of going Sailing Academy. At Sailing Academy, they went through the experience as a true sails man, learned all there was to know about the structure of sailing boats, and even raced them on the water to put what they learned to the test. Everett Lopez became our new Executive Officer, who is in charge of leading meetings, putting plans into action, and taking charge of the new and old cadets. Tyler Moore became our new Commanding Officer, who is in charge of our entire unit by supervising meetings, implementing ideas, improving the unit, setting the example for all other cadets, and is the overall leader of our unit.
