Paducah Tilghman Naval Junior ROTC (NJROTC) conducted the annual Area Manager’s Inspection on November 20 culminating with a Pass-in-Review Ceremony in the Dinning Gymnasium before assembled family and friends.
This year Commander Robinson, the Area 14 Manager, conducted the inspection of the cadets and was the Guest of Honor for the Pass-in-Review Ceremony.
