NJROTC San Diego Military Orientation Trip Days 5 & 6

On day 5 we toured Marine Corps Air Station Miramar. Here the cadets are getting briefed by a marine with Crash Fire Rescue

We toured my old unit HMM-163 Evil-Eyes. The helicopters are troop transport, cargo, and medivac helo's.

The Cadets stop for a group shot on the flightline

Weapons handling with the ISMT, these M-16's are compressed air activated and the cadets shoot targets against a computer screen that marks their score.

The Leatherneck Air Museum had an impressive assortment of vintage aircraft


On day 6 we visited Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego. The legendary Marine Corps Drill Instructor marches our cadets as he leads the guided tour.

Drill Instructor Sgt Brewer answers questions about recruit training and the base




The Marine Corps graduation ceremony was an impressive sight as the Drill Instructors and graduating recruits marched in the parade

The Cadets take notes on Marine Corps history at the Marine Corps Museum

There were many interesting history displays that the cadets learned about

We end it all with a relaxing pool party at the base pool


We loaded up the night before and headed for Eureka. We made it back at about 7pm and all of the cadets made it home safe and sound.
MISSION COMPLETE!!!!!!
