It’s Sunday,
September the 23rd. We all loaded up the old cheese bus and headed
to Tuscaloosa to participate in Hillcrest High School drill meet.
We got an early start, if fact, so early, that about 4 or 5 of the
cadets didn’t make it.
We took our
Color Guard, Unarmed drill team, Rifle team, and Academic team. It
was a long day and really hot outside. The facilities at the
school were super nice! They had plenty of accommodations to host
their very first competition. All the teams went their separate
ways to compete. Terrance Smith, our Battalion Commander, had two
of the four member Academic team absent. He and SFC Masters
grabbed two warm bodies from the other special teams and took the test
at the appropriate LET level. They did awful but Terrance maxed
his test and pulled off fourth place. The Rifle team finished
third in the precision category, the Un-Armed Drill team finished
second, and the Color Guard came in first place.
