May drill was about the preparation for the summer training and graduation ceremony. While the admin team was working on the summer training service jackets, cadets did the last round of the PRT make up which everyone present passed and rehearsed the ceremony.

Daughters of the American Revolution Award Recipient: PO3 Burkut, Elise
PO3 Burkut has by far stood out to be the most steadfast cadet, taking on the responsibility of leading the unit virtually during every in-person drill. She has also served as the color guard commander since September and has developed a presence of demanded respect. This year she stayed on top of her coursework, had excellent attendance, and made the Petty Officer Third class. She also receives an instructor nomination for her excellence.
The Navy League of the United States (NLUS) Theodore Roosevelt Youth Award recipients:
Sea Cadet Proa, Daniel SA/AT Proa has been the first cadets to each drill and the last to leave. As a Yeoman of the unit, he comes to drill squared away, check-in the unit and report all unit activities to the CO as it pertains to attendance and finances for the day. He ensures facility cleanliness is up to par for turnover and collects all unit items to not be left behind. Over the last year, he advanced to the rank of the Petty Officer 3rd class as a league cadet before becoming a sea cadet. This cadet also has excellent attendance and always stays on top of his coursework. He also received an instructor’s nomination for his excellence.
League Cadet Emery, Thomas PO3 Emery has been a part of the unit since the fall of 2020. This year he has achieved the rank of the Petty Officer Third class as a league cadet.
