What do you want to be when you grow up?

I’ve been asked many times about what a high school student can do once he/she has graduated. Well, here are some options for you Drillers who really love what you do.

  1. Go to college (ROTC) and continue to drill with the school’s team
  2. Join the military and join your service’s honor guard
  3. Join a civilian drill team (i.e. New Guard America)
  4. Become an Indie (Independent) Driller (like Adam Obregon- middle school teacher, Matt Wendling- high school teacher, Adam Jeup- drill expert for Glendale Industries, Andrea Bryant- web design expert and founder of For The Art, etc.)
  5. Study and become a Certified DrillMaster and become a drill team coach
  6. Study and become a Certified World Drill Association adjudicator and judge competitions

Or a mixture of one or more. You can always continue your passion of drill and have it become a hobby for the rest of your life.
