Hello everyone my name is Aaron Garcia, I am this years Battalion Commander and I am a senior. This year my expectations to see from the JROTC Program this year, is all the motivation and dedication from all cadets wether they are a freshman or a senior, I want all cadets to participate and work together. My overall experience from JROTC has exceeded everything ever since I joined JROTC freshman year, and I still remember how different it was, and how this program has changed me overall as a person and has helped me grow better, and has let me experience so many things whether it was the JCLC Summer Camp or even leadership Training during the summer, I truly have loved every second I’ve been in JROTC!
Hi, my name is Rosalinda. I’m currently the XO for this years JROTC and I’m also in the Army National Guard. I’ve done drill for 3 years, and it’s taught me a lot about discipline and working as part of a team. In this program, I hope to keep growing as a leader and learn how to push myself to be better, as well as seeing cadets interacting with each other getting out of your comfort zone. JROTC has made a big impact on me by giving me more confidence, structure, and a clear direction for my future, both in the military and in life. I hope all of you enjoy JROTC as I’ve done throughout my school years. Can’t wait to see what this year has in store for us!
Hello, I am C/CSM Sambrano. As your CSM I want to encourage cadets to go beyond their comfort zones, and through trial and error come to understand, and comprehend their strengths as an individual leader in and outside the program. I expect our cadets to take upon the hard path found through a proactive mindset to improve themselves and guide others to becoming better leaders, and overall better citizens.
