“Ram Pride” JROTC Battalion September 2015 Newsletter

Message from the Battalion Commander CADET MAJOR THOMAS JOSEPH It has been a great first month. All of you look sharp and good in uniform. Our next major event is Veterans Day Assembly. It may seem far away, but it actually isn’t. Make sure you are on your best behavior on Veterans Day. I have no doubt you will be. Also make sure your uniform is looking nice, and that it is dry cleaned. After Veterans day in our Unit inspection. THIS IS A BIG DEAL. Make sure you are studying the sheets that your commanders gave you, because they are more important than you realize! I hope you have had a great first month, and I hope you continue to have fun in JROTC throughout the year.
