The Glynn Academy MCJROCT Male Raider Team will be honored tonight (Tuesday, October 27) at the Golden Isles Council, Navy League of the United States.
The team won first place in the All-Service Division at the JROTC National Raider Challenge, held October 22-25 at Fort Knox, Kentucky.
Hosted by U.S. Army Cadet Command, the competition drew approximately 4,000 cadets from high schools across the country. The All-Service Division is open to Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and Coast Guard JROTC programs; Glynn Academy finished ahead of Veterans High School (Ga.) and Corbin High School (Ky.).
Master Sergeant William Strohsahl, Cadet Captain Gabriel Luna, the unit’s cadet commanding officer, and Cadet First Lieutenant Levi Van’t Land, the unit’s executive officer and Raider Team Commander, will speak about the national championship at tonight’s October meeting which is open to the public and the press.
The meeting begins at 6 p.m. at American Legion Post 166, 1013 Arthur J. Moore Drive, St. Simons Island.
U.S. Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (GA-1) is the keynote speaker.
The Council will recognize the Cadet of the Month.
Having worked with MSgt Strohsahl, it is easy to see the source of the drive for excellence the Glynn Academy Raider teams have. He is doing great work and leading by teaching and being a role model for his cadets. During the Raider Challenge on Jekyll Island in late September, the GA team did well but took it to a new level with this latest competition. Congratulations and thanks for your commitment and great work.
