After completing all scoring, a winner was finally announced. Cadet Allyssa Ruiz, a flight commander of an after-school class was awarded, along with her flight; the winner of the competition. After asking her about her experience of preparing for the Drill off she stated, “it was stressful to remember all the steps and make sure everyone was doing them right, but everyone worked together to improve so it was quite fun.” When asked how she and her flight overcame difficulties when preparing she noted, “I got through it by going through each routine repeatedly and trying to get it as good as possible.” Overall, Cadet Ruiz felt that “winning the comp was really exciting […] seeing all of the cadets within [her] flight seeing having their hard work pay off.” Overall, all cadets worked hard to prepare for the competition learning various skills such as teamwork, and self-discipline.

Lets get down to business! Practice makes perfect Cadets! To start the New Year off right, the cadets of Piscataway high school's AFJROTC program are bringing the year in with another cadet assembly! For the first cadet assembly of 2017, Lieutenant Brittany Herits has come to visit us to tell us all about her life and the transition from civilian life to military life. Lieutenant Brittany Herits is a military lover from Metuchan, NJ who aspired to be a pediatrician but soon learned to love being a family medical physician. She now serves in the marine corps and loves it. Even though that's no surprise because she probably was going to love it anyways since, from the age of a little girl, she knew what she wanted to do already. No back up plan was going to stop her, Lieutenant Herits knew where she wanted to be.
From January 13th's cadet assembly many of the cadets learned that with the right amount of determination and grit we can get to where we want to be in life no matter what. Persistence is key. So lets pursue our goals like Lieutenant Brittany Herits! |
