5th Annual Caribbean Inter-Island
Drill Competition
The 5th Annual Caribbean Inter-Island Drill
Competition was held in St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands on 2-5 April
1998. Seven JROTC units participated from high schools in Puerto
Rico, US Virgin Islands, and Panama. Drill events included Regulation
squad and platoon drill, color guard, tap out and exhibition armed
and unarmed drill. The Cadet Challenge physical test was also
a competitive event. In the end, Antilles Military Academy from
Puerto Rico took the Best Overall title. For the cadets, it was
an opportunity to meet new people and compete against others.
Most of all, the cadets had fun, not only in the competition,
but during their time with fellow cadets from other schools.
