My critiques for each of the female performances (squad and platoon, RD and XD) at the first annual Astronaut High School Drill Meet. Click the titles for each school and the audio file should begin to download for you.
Congratulations to all of the schools that participated! And a big thank you to all of the judges: local Army recruiters, Florida Institute of Technology cadets and Merchant Marine/Navy Reserve Ensign Nick Sottile!
