The picture at right is my with the cadet leadership and advisers of North Georgia University’s Blue Ridge Rifles. Unfortunately, the team could not come to the competition due to unforeseen issues, but it was great to meet these young men and their coaches!
I spoke with team members, instructors, coaches, parents and exhibition drill fans throughout the day- it was a great honor to be the head judge for the exhibition drill phase along with GySgt Lopez from Pensacola, to be able to receive the report-in and out from each team commander and to offer each team these critiques. I hope my comments are helpful. If you have any questions at all, let me know through my contact page and I will do my best to answer/help.
