NHS NJROTC Takes Part In Auburn Drill Meet

March 8, 2013

Northview High School’s NJROTC recently competed in a drill meet at Auburn University, finishing fourth overall against 12 schools from Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and Louisiana.

The unit competed in multiple events which included a personnel inspection, academic test, basic drill and physical fitness.

“The outstanding results by the unit was the culmination of a lot of hard work over the past several weeks by each cadet that competed. The competition is always tough at these meets but the cadets were focused and determined to succeed.  As always they were great representatives of Northview and the community,”  said Charlie C. Code, Capt USN (ret), Northview instructor.

The unit also toured the Auburn campus and the nearby Tuskegee Airman Museum.

    Bravo Zulu to Northview’s NJROTC! I’m proud of all the cadets who dedicated their time in all those early morning practices and of the outstanding leadership provided by Captain Code and Chief Simpkins. To take first place in an event and to place fourth overall from among those12 larger schools demonstrates this unit’s great character.
