[@jacob3163]

[@ryanrodriguez7324]

After reading all these comments I feel compelled to say something about this video. I would say it is a fact, this team is trash. Now I have never been a team commander but I have been in AFJROTC for 3 years and this commander let alone his whole team were not at all ready for any competition. The issues are very apparent to those who know what to look for so I'll spare those details. I'll just say my take on how this might have happened, I think it's plausible that the quality of cadet generations varies a lot depending on a lot of factors the prime example of this is the team commander who is an officer. Even the lowest scoring officer at my AFJROTC group would be able to drill, dress, and sound off better so I say that since, from how I understand it, officer selection is by candidacy it can produce people who aren't to standard. That being said, this principle can apply to teams as well because maybe in their group they are the best and perhaps thought they could do comp, comparing themselves with their own cadets. Now how the SASI and ASI did not notice this team was completely unprepared for comp escapes me, maybe they prefer a extreme hands off approach which is their choice. All in all this team should have never attempted comp and is generally a VERY bad example of JROTC. I know plenty of other examples of outstanding JROTC cadets that are dragged down by an outlier like this. The usual standard for comp and JROTC in general is much higher than this. Hopefully this particular team improved over the years (this video is 2015 and I'm writing in 2019) and perform better nowadays because in the end that's the goal, to learn.

[@beaunoel4040]

Their performance is on their SASI and ASI, as well as their drill team commander, they aren’t doing a good job of teaching their cadets.
