MHS CADETS TO ATTEND THE ARMY-NAVY SPRINT FOOTBALL CLASSIC

On Saturday, 31 October (yes, on Halloween), select MHS cadets will travel to the United States Military Academy at West Point to watch the Navy's sprint-class football team beat the hell out of the Army.  Muster at 1230 in front of the school.

Go Navy!

DEONTE WILLIAMS

They must put something in the water at Army boot camp or something because Deonte's head looked normal when he graduated from MHS!  (And I know his brain didn't get any bigger.)

"My cover doesn't fit!"

R.I.P. CADET CHALLENGE


Due to a lack of participation, the cadet challenge has been terminated for this school year.  Shame on the lazy cadets of Midddletown High School.  The prize money will be reallocated to some worthwhile purpose--maybe haircuts for indigent porpoises.

Here lies the SY 2015-2016 Cadet Challenge.  Gone, but not lamented.

IMAGES OF THE IN-HOUSE DRILL MEET

On Saturday, 24 October 2015 33 cadets of the Middletown High School NJROTC Drill Team competed in our 6th annual in-house drill meet.

We started with a personnel inspection.  Shoes, bearing, and general knowledge were common hits.

The Z-bird acts as scribe.

I'm wearing my medal, maybe he won't notice that the last time I shined my shoes I was a sophomore.

Oops!

The former CO is keeping in practice for life after college.

Bring on the pizza!
