This is a picture of a laptop. If you go to PSLA, you have been issued one. HINT- have it in NNDCC class tomorrow. Required so that you can do work so that you can get smart so that you will have a great life after PSLA (And so that your NNDCC Instructor will have a good day).

If you are sophomore or junior cadet, you should have already registered for J-Lab! We are doing this competition on Thursday! Check TEAMS for the assignment.

My request to have classes yesterday was denied so- we will celebrate the Navy's birthday on WEDNESDAY! ALL CADETS SHOULD BE IN UNIFORM W PROPER GROOMING STANDARDS (and be ready to eat cake)! Happy Birthday US Navy!

We have discussed Hurricane Milton in all classes this week. As of right now, we haven't hit peak, and there is massive destruction already. To our sister units in Florida, stay safe and strong! NAVY STRONG

Another mission accomplished in Syracuse! We had 15 cadets come out and support veterans coming back from a very busy and emotional day in Washington DC. Pics do not show all cadets since some were already volunteering on crowd control. Other cadets participated in our color guard. We were also honored to have Adm. Paddock (ret) and his wife talk to our cadets. Adm. Paddock is co-founder of Honor Flight!

Amazing job tonight by our color guard for our home football game against Mexico. Their practice is evident! Super proud! Many thanks to AD Todd and Principal Romeo for allowing us this opportunity! Now on to Honor Flight tomorrow!
