15 Cadets from Jonesboro NJROTC competed in the Howler on Saturday the 20th. The Howler is an Annual Physical Competition hosted by Arkansas State University bringing in teams from all over the state. This year 48 ROTC programs competed in the 6.39 mile obstacle course with 13 different physical challenges. From flipping tractor tires to traversing a mudpit, to carrying a person on a liter, or pushing a humvee in excess of 11000 pounds forward 30 yards and back, and crossing a pond. Our cadets did the Hurricanes proud with a great showing. Hurricane Team 1 finished with an outstanding 7th place out of 48 teams. Hurricane battalion showing them we mean business. Go Canes!!!!
