    I can personally vouch that this is an awesome program for our young people as our daughter was a NHS NJROTC cadet and is now a JROTC College Midshipmen.
    The Instructors do an excellent job of teaching them all they need to know about the Navy life and go above and beyond in being a role model and mentor to these young cadets in their daily lives. Even well after these young people graduate from NHS, they continue to support them whenever they are needed.

    As always, I am so proud of this program and all the young people/cadets who participate in it. “Go Chiefs”

    It always amazes me that when you see an article about kids who are doing something positive you never see comments. I for one am glad to see them doing something positive and I also care to beleive there are a lot of great kids out there who are doing positive things.
    Keep up the good work guys you making me proud.
