End State
Every cadet should embrace a profound sense of pride in our unit, their uniform, and their fellow cadets. We place special emphasis on upholding the unit motto, as it becomes the catalyst for each cadet's growth and progress.
The set standards that we expect everyone in the unit to achieve are as follows:
100% uniform participation, demonstrating a commitment to the unit's values and appearance.
Division champions, with teams making it to regionals during the last drill season, showcasing our competitive spirit and dedication to excellence.
Promotions for everyone, ensuring that each cadet reaches at least the rank of c/PO3, signifying individual growth and leadership development.
Completion of 20/2000 hours of community service by every cadet, fostering a strong sense of responsibility and giving back to the community.
Earning the participation ribbon, which involves attending events like the Navy Ball, field trips, campus clean up, and actively supporting our home drill meetings at Peninsula High School, highlighting our cadets' active involvement and commitment to the unit's success.
