Each year, the Manchester Township High School (MTHS) NJROTC prepares for and presents to outside Navy officers in the Annual Military Inspection (AMI). Today, approximately 100 MTHS Jr. ROTC students were inspected by Area 2 Manager, Commander Humphreys.
This is a mandatory and priority event for all cadets in the NJROTC program who come to school to practice before and after classes, their sports commitments, and extracurricular activities. The time and effort these cadets put into this program, and the AMI preparation, are commendable. Cadets were inspected on their uniforms, drills, and general knowledge questions asked of them by Commander Humphreys. Then they went into the awards ceremony before the pass and review.
Commander Humphreys shared with the families and MTHS school staff in attendance how commendable the Manchester JR ROTC cadets are and that Manchester's cadets are living up to the program's standards. The guidance and mentorship provided by LCDR John Holzer and MACS (SW/AW) and Patrick McKay, USN(RET), the support of family, school, and community helps students stay focused and motivated while building the citizens and leaders of tomorrow.
Thank you to everyone who was in attendance today and the community who supports Manchester's students in these endeavors. The MTHS NJROTC looks forward to welcoming the community on Monday, November 11 for the 20th Annual Veterans Day Program. We look forward to seeing you there!
