| On
October 26th, 14 cadets from the Harrison High School
Marine Corps J.R.O.T.C's program traveled to Camp
Grayling. The students entered into a competition with
Navy R.O.T.C's from Flint Central, Ogemaw Heights, and
White Cloud. The competition consisted of a P.R.C., 50
question test over drill, orienteering spread, and a
Color Guard competition.
When first arriving at Camp
Grayling, cadets from Ogemaw Heights greeted the
contestants from Harrison and showed them to their
barracks where they bunked for the night. Starting the
evening events was a test. This test was made up of 50
questions about drill pulled right from the Marine Corps
J.R.O.T.C hand book. 10 cadets from each school were put
on an academic team to compete in this brain buster.
Following this bout was the
orienteering spread. Representing Harrison were 2
teams; team 1: A. Dorman, A. Bower, M. Torr, and C.
Carpenter. Team 2: D. Sexton, C. Dorman, R. Taylor, and
M. Renolds.
Running to the next event
was the P.R.C. The object was to get as many male
push-ups possible in 2 minutes, 1 minute later you
pushed yourself to the brink aiming for as many sit-ups
possible. After doing this, the teams competed in a
relay, every member had to run 50 yards and pass off the
baton to the person ahead of them.
The next morning everyone
was headed for West Branch where the Color Guard
competition took place. The LEI team was made up
of N. Avery, D. Heintzelman, T. Shedron, and T. Allen,
this team placed second out of four! The
upperclassmen color guard group consisted of R. Taylor,
C. Dorman, D. Sexton, and M. Torr, the team did a very
nice job.
Guiding all the cadets who
came for this experience was Master Sergeant Carlstrom
and Major Spurlock. This was a learning experience
for all the cadets and is already being looked forward
to for next fall!
