NJROTC Cadets Attend Leadership Training Camps
August 24, 2015
Navy Junior ROTC Cadets from seven Escambia and Santa Rosa county schools attended two camps before school started at Naval Air Station Pensacola — a Leadership Academy and a Basic Leadership Training camp.
The NJROTC cadets and instructors from Northview, Escambia, Pine Forest, Washington, Navarre, Milton and Pace high schools took part in the camps with their days staring at 5 a.m. and continuing until 9:30 p.m. The cadets also had to stand barracks watches throughout the night.
Each camp included academics, orienteering and first aid, drills, a physical fitness test and daily fitness training, personnel inspections, daily room and locker inspections and tours of the various active duty training facilities.
The 53 cadets attending the Leadership Academy also had the opportunity to participate in a Leadership Reaction Course and a Marine Corps obstacle course. The 50 cadets in the Basic Leadership Training camp were able to observe demonstrations of aviation fire fighting training, rescue swimmer training, and participate in the USMC circuit course.
Both camps competed in a Jeopardy style academic brain brawl that covered topics covered in the NJROTC curriculum.
Cadets graduating from the camps received a certificate of completion and ribbon, while those completing the Leadership Academy also earned a silver cord that is worn with their uniform.
Northview cadets that successfully completed Leadership Academy were (with awarded medals listed):
- Moriah McGahan — Distinguished Cadet (Top Cadet for the camp, 2nd Sit-ups, 3rd Push-ups, 1st Mile run, 3rd Room Inspection, 1st Overall Physical Fitness Test)
- Katie Cmehil — 1st in Sit-ups
- Sara McCreary — 1st in Knockout competition
- Ureil Codrington
- James White — 4th Overall in the Male Physical Fitness test
