As the summer reaches its conclusion, we at Drill Company are proud to recognize the accomplishments achieved by our tabholders this summer!

CDT Nguyen dominated during her training at Marine Corps Officer Candidate School, earning her Eagle, Globe, and Anchor! This is a huge accomplishment, only obtained by going through six grueling weeks of Marine Corps training. Congratulations, CDT Nguyen, we look forward to your contributions to the USMC!

CDTs Blenden, Negron, and Zayas spent six weeks of their summer on campus as squad leaders, training the participants of the Future Leader Camp. Additionally, they served as Drill and ceremony instructors. They each had their roles in training and challenging potential future Norwich cadets in extensive military training, as well as introducing them to the Norwich Drill Company via educational lessons on drill technique and execution!

CDT Cuculic spent her summer working for the Old Orchard Beach PD as a community service officer! She spent her days patrolling the beach, ensuring citizens were abiding by Maine’s Laws and Regulations, while assisting full-time officers when needed!
