ROTC and JROTC Cadet Awards Program 2021 COL, Ret. Arthur Tulak, Chairman of the Cadet Awards Committee The Corona Virus pandemic continued to disrupt the annual awards ceremonies in 2021, as the ROTC and JROTC programs attempted to switch to on-line venues to recognize their top-performing cadets. Companion Tulak participated in the on-line Joint Army and Air Force ceremony held on ZOOM on May 6th, presenting for the MOFW and the Hawaii Society of the Sons of the American Revolution. This first ever virtual awards ceremony held jointly by Army ROTC Warrior Battalion and Air Force ROTC Detachment 175, was followed later in the day with an in-person ceremony, where Companion Tulak presented awards on behalf of the Hawaii Chapter of the AUSA, which is a sponsor of the Commandery’s Cadet programs. Companion Tulak “virtually” congratulated Cadets Arias and Atkins on receiving the Leadership Excellence Medal, and Cadets Betancourt and Driscoll for the Academic Excellence Medal.
