Marine Corps Accomplishment Report

Three years in the Marine Corps JROTC program and I knew that I was going to be our next and first female cadet Commanding Officer. At the beginning of my junior year, my third year in the program, that was my goal to reach by the end of the year. I planned and worked hard for it; I took over staff meetings and took all of the responsibilities from my commanding officer at the time. One day, my senior Marine Instructor called me into his office after our drill practice and informed me of my new billet. He told me that I would, in fact, be our next cadet commanding officer due to my outstanding initiative and how well I have set myself apart from everyone else. I knew at that moment this would not be the most important accomplishment of my life,
