Junior Army Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) Summer Camp Success - Fort A. P. Bowling Green, VA.Congratulations to 11 of our cadets who attended the Junior Army Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) Summer Camp Success Maryland, Washington, DC, and Virginia. The summer camp was conducted at Fort A. P. Bowling Green, VA.
The purpose of the camp was to provide an informative, challenging, safe and activity-filled leadership experience which will motivate our cadets to pursue individual and team excellence. The camp also strengthens our school’s JROTC program for school year 2009 to 2010. Cadets were carefully selected to attend this camp based on their demonstrated leadership and potential leadership skills. Several of our cadets placed first, second and third as individuals or as team members in several of the competitions. Additionally, Woodbridge cadets served in various company, platoon, and squad leadership positions. Some of the camp highlights included:
Cadets who attended this year were: Brency Bermudez, Ashley Evans, Anthony Friedman, Alda Gebretekle, Arturo Hernandez, Levi Peterson, Abraham Quarcoo, Cameron Ruck, Stephan Samuels, Hannah Weatherington, and Lucas Wilks.
We look forward to a great year with our CampSuccess graduates. Hooah!
 WSHS Color Guard and Unarmed Drill Teams Placed Second in Courtland Back to School Drill MeetThe Woodbridge Senior High School Army JROTC Color Guard and Unarmed Drill Teams participated in our season opening drill meet. Woodbridge won second place out of 14 schools in the overall competition category. The Viking Battalion tied for first place in the Inspection category, placed first in Color Guard category, and placed second in Regulation Unarmed Platoon. The Inspection team was lead by C/CPT S. Morales, the Color Guard was lead by C/2LT R. Bradley and the Regulation Unarmed Platoon was lead by C/1SG L. Colvin. Hoo-ah! Placing second in this competition is a great indicator of where we are headed this school year. Last year in this meet we only placed 3rd in the Inspections competition. It was a long bus ride home. I am encouraged by all of the hard work that our cadets did to place second. We are now preparing for our next drill competition at C.D. Hylton High School on Saturday, 14 November, 2009. We have not competed with our sister Prince William County JROTC units since the WSHS Color Guard team won 1st place in the Freedom Museum Color Guard Competition on Saturday, 18 April, 2009. Hope to see there. Group Tasks
