Annual Unit Inspection
February 15, 2012
This event went very well, and the pictures in the Union Leader looked great. Overall, a great day for the new cadets and the unit (although we did have a couple of cadets miss this event without prior permission), and the instructors appreciate your continued support as we "grow" our future leaders.
Cadets Uniforms/Appearance - Overall, the cadets looked sharp, but there were many minor uniform mistakes that should have been corrected prior to the inspection. Please remember that all cadets receive a uniform grade as part of their quarter grade, and the inspection counted as a test grade.

Booster Club Information
(From Mr. Neil Freeman)
With the great job overall by the cadets with academics (49.6% of the cadets enrolled have been on the Honor Roll, or above at least once this year), the Mayor has thrown out a "challenge". During the inspection, he challenged us to hit 70%, so CDR is going to inquire from the Mayor what he's willing to offer if the unit takes the challenge. More information to follow!
