BATTALION spotlight
On Saturday, December 13th, the Battalion took part in Wreaths Across America at Stanhope Union Cemetery. Our cadets and many parents, along with American Legion Post 278, laid 880 wreaths at the graves of our Nations Veterans! A very touching memorial service was held prior to the wreath laying highlighted by Cadet Peller playing Taps.
CADET spotlight
During our September drill we had the honor of pinning the Battalion's newest Chief Petty Officer. CPO John Havens III has been a Sea Cadet since 2022. He was originally a member of the USS Gerald R Ford Division before that Unit was merged with our Battalion. CPO Havens will now assume the role of the Battalions Leading Chief Petty Officer. Bravo Zulu!
