San Marcos Academy’s Junior ROTC Bear Battalion earned the title of “Honor Unit with Distinction” (HUD) during their recent JROTC Program for Accreditation as evaluated by an inspection team from the Fifth Brigade, U.S. Army Cadet Command out of Fort Sam Houston.
The Bear Battalion scored 97.75 percent on the Nov. 7 inspection, which included two presentations, a marching exhibition, a Color Guard performance, an in-ranks inspection and cadet interviews.
A score of at least 95% is required to earn the HUD or “Gold Star” recognition, the highest rating an Army JROTC unit can receive. SMA Cadets will wear a gold star on their uniforms, designating the honor unit.
