The inspectors were very impressed with the knowledge, confidence, and poise that everyone showed during the personnel inspection. The ceremony went extremely smooth to the point of almost seamless, with CMDR Hunt commenting on what a well drilled and disciplined unit we have here. Our staff did an outstanding job of presenting themselves, their goals, and responsibilities to the inspectors and they (the inspectors) left here wishing that the college NROTC cadets were as well spoken as ours. We want to send special thanks to Jana Beery and Lynn Zollinger for the help they gave us during this potentially stressful time. {Rio Grande} Rio Grande Drill Meet Team Awards: 1st place Male Color Guard Overall 2nd Place Mixed Color Guard Inspection 2nd Place Mixed Color Guard Overall** 3rd Place Female Color Guard Inspection 3rd Place Female Color Guard Overall 3rd Place Armed Drill Team Overall Individual Award: 1st in the � mile run, Sarah Larson **As a special note, the Mixed Color Guard that took second was comprised of one (1) NS-2, and three (3) NS-1�s.
