Title : GHS NJROTC Hosts Annual "Pasco County Fun Meet" |
 |
 |

|
Another GREAT day!!! On Friday afternoon, the 28th of March, the GHS NJROTC hosted its first Pasco County Fun Meet in years. Five of the six county teams arrived at the Buccaneer campus before noon to take a look at the much anticipated new "Obstacle Course" created earlier in the week. There were a total of thirteen events in which each of the teams competed. While not all-inclusive, some of the events included the obstacle course, the truck push, the tractor tire roll, the sled pull, the shot put, the three-legged relay, the wheelbarrow relay, the tug-of-war, the 100 and 200 yard relays and more. The cadets, both those competing and those hosting (Gulf) appeared to have a REALLY GOOD TIME!!! And, we were done ahead of schedule! Also, this was the first year that trophies were awarded for every event, not just the overall "traveling trophy." Congratulations to ALL competing cadets and instructors, particularly to Ridgewood who won the overall event, and Pasco who won the "Spirit Award." We'll be anxious to compete next year when another Unit hosts the event.

Title : Physical Fitness Test (PFT) |
 |
 |

|
The Gulf HS NJROTC will hold its second physical fitness test and family picnic event (of the school year) on Saturday, March 15, 2008 at Robert K. Rees Park (aka Green Key Park). All cadets must be at the park (beach area) no later than 7:00 a.m., ready for an 8:00 a.m. kickoff for the test.
The family picnic, for cadets and all members of the "IMMEDIATE" family, will start upon completion of the PFT (approximately 9:30/10:00 a.m.). Parents please bring a dish to pass and/or dessert. Cadets must bring a liter of soda or water. Hot dogs and hamburgers (with buns) will be provided.
There will be various fun events (e.g., beach football, volleyball, frisbee, and more) throughout the entire morning and perhaps into the afternoon. We will have one large pavilion (with grills) for our use, as well as, all the "kiddie" equipment on the beach. It should be lots of fun for cadets and family members. See you there!
*This is a MANDATORY event for ALL cadets. A significant portion of the cadet grade is based on both participation and the results of this event/test.

Title : Gulf Cadets Place ''6th Overall'' at the State Championship |
 |
 |

|
Congratulations to our GHS Buccaneer NJROTC cadets who placed an admirable 6th (out of a final 18) in the State Championship competition held this weekend in Orlando. This is the best showing ever for our school and should position us well in next years competition. The cadets placed “3rd Overall” in Unarmed Basic Drill and “5th Overall” in Personnel Inspection. Our Academic Team placed “6th Overall” and missed 5th Place by only 5 points in 1000. In fact, the entire team (academics, athletics, drill and personnel inspection) missed the TOP FIVE Overall Trophy round by 6 points in 6000. Please congratulate those cadets who have spent SEVEN (7) long months preparing for this huge event.
We would also like to congratulate the TOP FIVE teams in this awesome competition. Last years (third straight) State Champion and current National Champion, Flanagan HS NJROTC, placed "2nd Overall," Boca Raton (last years State "Runner-Up") and National Champion "Runner-Up" won State's this year. A much improved team from Lake Howell placed "3rd Overall." All three teams now move on to the National Championship which will be held in April at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Florida. Central High School placed "4th Overall" and Riverview placed "5th Overall."
Congratulations to all five teams - instructors and your cadets - on a GREAT job done not only on Saturday, but throughout the year. We all work very hard for many months trying to get the kids ready for the final two championships. This weekends competition was just awesome; representative of that work.
We wish you all well in your efforts to - again - represent Area SEVEN with the best of the best. We all know that Flour Bluff will have put maximum effort in trying to recover from last years huge loss, so our thoughts and best wishes are with the three of your teams.
Go "get 'em!" Area SEVEN = 1, 2 and 3!!!
