Dear Instructors and Cadet Staff,
The OH-041st is pleased to invite you to our Drill Competition on 7 November, 2015. We
hope your unit can attend this year. Enclosed in this packet is: a list of rules and regulations, floor
dimensions, all drill sheets. Please note we have transitioned to National Drill Standards and have
deleted the Academic Quiz Bowl. Please let us know if you need directions or a hotel listing.
The drill competition will begin with Commander’s Call at 0800 on Floor A, (Kubuski
Gym), and the competition will start at 0830. Please respond so we can have an accurate schedule
set up. Deadline to respond is 9 October 2015 with the Flights you will be bringing. Also, if you
have any questions, please call us at (440) 748-5227.
PLEASE DO NOT BRING YOUR OWN FOOD – we help cover expenses for
competition from food sales. If Flights bring their own food, the entry fee will have to be increased
to the cover cost of hosting a drill competition. Our prices are very reasonable.
We appreciate and thank you for your participation and support of our competition.
Sincerely,
Cadet McKenzie, Cadet Lt Col
