JROTC helps the community

Queenie Kiluwe

The JROTC Tiger Battalion busies themselves during the weekends through competition and community service. On August 11, the JROTC cadets did community service at the Primary Elections and American Heart Association Heart Walk. At Heart Walk, the cadets helped out by giving water to the participants. On that same day, the cadets that were 16 and older volunteered at the Primary Elections by assisting voters through the voting process. Through competitions, the cadets of the Tiger Battalion competed in a Joint JROTC field day, sponsored by the Hawai’i National Guard, called Organizational Day. Organizational Day is when all the JROTC of Oahu high school cadets come together and compete against each other in events like Humvee Pull, Tug-of-War, and Coconut Tree Climb. The Tiger Battalion placed first in Jump-Push-Curl, Inverted Crab Walk and 4-Man Litter Carry. They placed second in Coconut Tree Climb. If you are interested in being part of these fun events, come down to the Tiger Battalion on the Diamond Head side of A-Building.
