Following a 13 hour car ride to the island, the cadets met their drill instructor for the week and were ordered to make their racks and store their belongings in small footlockers. On day 2, the cadets went to the track for early morning physical fitness. Afterwards, they visited the Marine Corps Museum which told the entire history of the United States Marine Corp since it's creation in 1775 along with a lesson in Corps Values and fundamental drill critiques. On day 3, the cadets repelled down a 75 foot repelling wall with a MCJROTC unit. After repelling, the cadets were paired into teams of 10 and were given certain tasks to do that required a lot of physical as well as mental strength.

Thanks to the Ohio National Guard, Sergeant Baker had parked two different Humvees outside the high school across from the flag pole. He talked to each class about each little safety precaution that was needed to clear the Humvee for travel, about how eco-friendly that the Humvees were and let whoever wanted to get to jump in and get a feel of sitting inside a military vehicle. Sergeant Baker also showed each class a video about the Humvee and why they are the primary vehicle being used in the war on Iraq.

Everybody stayed enthused and loved the Humvee experience! We will also like to thank Sergeant Baker and the National Guard for letting our cadets get the opportunity to see what we are using to protect our country.

Sunday, a beautiful sunny day, a total of 18 cadets participated in our Pumpkin-O orienteering meet held by the MVOC. For our second orienteering meet, just about every team made it in by their respected times with the exception of two. All went great with the upperclassman still showing the freshmen, or new orienteers, how to properly use the compasses and read the maps accurately. Everybody had a great time and had an awesome experience with land navigation!
