Well I will be moving on the NROTC group now. My son graduated this week and will be at LSU in Baton Rouge this fall.
Their unit also received Bravo Zulu this year. It was a good year for my son as Commanding Officer, so now on to new adventures!

Our unit NJROTC awards are on June 1, and the NJROTC Ball on June 2.
Does anyone know exactly how formal this ball is? Should we be doing a floor length gown for Erin (the invitation says uniform of the event is girls wear dresses, boys wear uniforms) or will a shorter "party dress" be okay?

Great news for my daughters unit!
May 08, 2012
Port Angeles, Wash. - The United States Navy recently awarded the Port Angeles High School NJROTC with the Navy’s highest award, the Distinguished Unit with Honors for the 2011-2012 school year. The unit placed in every category of competition in Military Drill, Color Guard, Physical Fitness and Air Rifle against other Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (JROTC) units in Washington State and Western Region championships, and the unit won the Division Championship title.
During its annual military inspection, the unit received the Navy’s “Bravo Zulu” award for meritorious achievement in all areas of Personnel Inspection, Operations, Administration and Academics.
The unit performed over 2,000 hours of community service and helped raised over $25,000 for nonprofit organizations. Only the top 10% of the JROTC units across the nation receive this distinction. This is the unit's seventh year in a row receiving the award.

Erin will only be a sophomore next year, so it's a while before she will get some kind of responsibility. We're just hoping she makes petty officer at the end of the year.

Battalion Commander for 2012-2013! Yay! Getting ready for an exciting summer here. My son heads out to spend a week at each of the 3 military service academies and then a week at Boys State and then JLEAD at N.GA military college. How many have cadets attending Leadership Academy or Basic Leadership Training for their area? Our last summer in NJROTC.

I checked it out, it's kinda like ebay, but just for uniforms. None of those currently being offered are what Erin needs, but I'll keep an eye on it.
Erin's master chief said that maybe next year the NW region will approve digis (NWUs) for everyday wear for NJROTC. I really, really hope so, they are so much more comfortable.

Does anyone know where I can pick up an extra uniform for Erin? She really needs a second one, but they only issue one. Since Chris got out of the Navy, I no longer have an easy source for uniforms.

awesome young man in your daughter's unit, Arwen!
@gmwrdh, there are 4 MIDN at LSU/ SU unit from my son's njrotc unit. i dont think we'll have any freshman there next year though. good luckand congrats to your son!

@Arwen wow! That is awesome!. @Lori4629- They are penalized a certain number of points for PT- not sure how many though. So we do get points for PT. And yes Neshoba did come out of nowhere this year.
Eric will be attending LSU in Baton Rouge on an NROTC scholarship. He will cross campus to Southern. So it was great to get to see Southern's unit in action at the Meet.
Sorry I did not find this site sooner- we could have met.
