This year, Air Force JROTC spent their Monday off marching in the Martin Luther King Jr. parade with new leaders and cadets who participated in the march for the first time with new and different responsibilities to give back to the community.

“I am excited for the MLK march this Monday since I will be team commander for the Howlers, which is like the step team, but more stiff,” Alma Vazquez said.

Only the dedicated, experienced, and hardworking are able to be team commander for their group. The team commanders are the leaders of the parade will be at the front of the match leading all the other AFJROTC members.

“I’m proud to be marching in this year’s parade because I am not only team leader, but one of few groups that will be marching with their rifles,” Rene Ayala said.

As everyone will be looking at the flight leaders at the parade they be watching the different things from the form of matching to the different things the students will be marching to and with.

“It feels really good when everyone cheers you and is thrilled with all our hard work we’ve all put in for this event,” Alma Vazquez said.

Come out and support the Air Force JROTC Monday January 16^th and watch them show off what they have been preparing for with new excitement.
