On this, the first Wednesday of the month of February, cadets from JMHS/MCTC JROTC journeyed to the state capital in Charleston to present our great nation’s colors to West Virginia House of Delegates. The unit wowed the Delegates and later received a standing ovation when being introduced and welcomed by Delegate Roy G. Cooper of the 28th district. Delegate Cooper, a retired member of the United States Navy, helped make this trip possible for the Maverick Battalion by working with instructors Scott Womack and Michael Wiley for weeks prior to the meeting. After the visit to the Capitol the Maverick Battalion traveled to the West Virginia Air National Guard base in Charleston and had the opportunity to see a C-130 Hercules aircraft and speak with two crewmembers about its capabilities. The cadets learned about the various configurations of the aircraft, which is capable of carrying and air dropping both cargo and personnel, and were able to sit in the cockpit and learn about the duties performed by the air crew.
