Hi again cadets. I hope you are enjoying your assignments in JROTC. This week as we have studied the American Flag and it's history we have learned the proper way to respect and care for our National Flag. Imagine my surprise when I first saw this story in the news over a year ago and there seems to be more stories like them about our National Standard.  Please watch the following video and post your own response to the video. Find a second story or video that relates to our U.S. Flag and post it back to our site and lastly, remember to post your comments on one of your peer's work. Remember to stay positive on your critiques and to motivate your peers to do better.  Here is your news story to watch.

Blog #3 Truly a story of caring and compassion, what do you think?

Welcome again to your 3rd assignment with JROTC as a LET1. Since we are looking at becoming a great citizen, it is always important to examine and learn from other's lessons in life on what they have done to excel and stand out in a positive manner.  Your task is to watch the following video, post your opinion and to find another story that is in print or video that is online and post the URL back to our site.

Blog #16 My Goals and Dreams for the future

Your last blog of the year and here is your chance to be daring and let us know what your goals and ambitions are.  Since there is no wrong answer to this work, be honest and define your goals for your next year at the Fort and for life.  Remember to be specific as always and to define how you are going to accomplish these goals.  My personal goal for this summer is to lose 10 pounds over the next 2 months.  I am going to go to gym a minimum of 5 times a week and work out for at least one hour each day.  Additionally, I am going to ride my bike a minimum of 5 miles daily, more if time allows.  My food intake is already addressed so by limiting my calories and increasing my exercise, I should be able to measure my weight loss.  I hope to see you back in class at the start of the new school year, thinner and happier.  Regards and here is a video I hope that you enjoy.
