NJROTC Leadership Camp Graduation Day! We have our first graduates of Leadership Camp in our program. Our campers woke up this morning, began to clean then headed to chow. Afterwards, they finished packing up, changed into uniform and staged all their bags outside. Leadership Academy grads were awarded cords, all were awarded leadership training ribbons, and Basic Leadership Training cadets were also awarded the orienteering ribbon. It was a great ceremony. Cadets were then reunited with their families back at the squad bays to grab their bags and head home. Congratulations!!! I appreciate all the hard work and commitment exhibited by our cadets to attend camp and give it their all while here. Enjoy a little bit of time off. Now that you are trained, more will be expected!

NJROTC Leadership Camp Day 4. Yesterday was a great day for our cadets. They finished all graduation requirements for their respective camps. The day started with some drill practice, then they all took Final Exams after breakfast. LA had their Sword Manual Test. BLT learned and practice Orienteering. They also had their final uniform inspection. After dinner, we conducted the Drill Competition. The night concluded with a social hour where the cadets were finally able to hang out and chat with each other and converse with the Instructors & Cadre who have been training them all week. They enjoyed a little pizza, too!

NJROTC Leadership Camp Day 3. The cadets had an eventful day yesterday. They got to sleep in a few extra mins. Reveille was sounded at 0500, and they were outside ready for PT by 0515. BLT had PT with “Army Zach” and LA had their Physical Readiness Test (PRT), which is a graduation requirement. Outstanding job by all. They practiced for the drill competition, had another uniform inspection, and also had a fun competition between the platoons after evening chow. Yes, sun gods do make the sun rise (look at the first couple pics, 😂. I’ve got some great tug-o-war and Anchors Aweigh videos I’ll share in the comments.

NJROTC Leadership Camp Day 2. Their first full day started at 0445. They worked we what we call “lights to lights” today. That’s where they are up and working when it’s still dark in the morning (streetlights still on) until it gets dark again (and the streetlights come back on). We started with some PT, then breakfast followed by a few classes on uniform prep, drill instruction, leadership principles. Next was lunch, then uniform inspection, followed by VTC with the Admiral. More drill, dinner, barracks cleaning, and more learning. Full day! Tomorrow we do it all again, but different events 😂. Big dump of photos, lots of pics of your campers. Just look for them.

Photo dump from end of check-in day. Look for your cadet, 😂. We have just under 200 cadets here from 17 schools from 5 states. Good times. Cadets are starting their evening routine, and reveille sounds at 0445!!!

They’ve arrived! Our first group of cadets are arriving to attend Basic Leadership Training (BLT), Leadership Academy (LA), and CO/XO School. We have 8 cadets away at camp this week (and they don’t have their phones, 😂). I’ll post a few pics a day until their graduation on Thursday.
