WESTERN HARNETT HIGH SCHOOL ARMY JROTC
"THE EAGLE BATTALION"
General Announcements:
Be sure to check the Battalion Events Calendar often, as things will pop up very quickly as the new school year approaches. As everyone should be aware by now, this semester's focal point is the Global War on Terrorism. Instructions for completing the papers (including milestone deadlines) can be found here.
We have information about our program, our teams, and our Booster Association available on this site. It is our hope that all of our parents will join our Booster Association this year. The cost is $20, and the money is used by the Boosters to support our cadets. Our next Booster Meeting will be held in Hut 513 at 6:00 p.m. on Monday, 14 April. See the link below for more information about the Eagle Battalion Booster Association.
There are several teams/activities available to cadets in this program. We have two competitive teams - Raiders and Drill Team. We also have an Honor Guard, which performs at Homecoming, Military Ball, and other requested events throughout the year. There are two other unique components to the Eagle Battalion. We have a Color Detachment, which is very active in parades, and a Motor Pool.
We will be having our second Summer Camp Training Day on 5 April 2008. Only cadets who attended the first training day are eligible to compete for one of the slots for camp this year. Cadets need to bring SEVERAL changes of clothes (to include socks/underwear) for this training day. Do NOT wear anything that you do not want to see put through mud and water. Cadets are going to get VERY dirty during training. Also, the cadet knowledge questions/answers have been updated. Click on the link below to access this information. If you have any questions about summer camp training, contact LTC Anderson or Linda K.
