The point difference between NJWg DT and NHWg DT was only 2 points and NYWg DT and NJWg DT was only 3 points. This was a very close competition with the top three teams (NH, NJ, NY) recieving 1st in at least one event, along with 2nd and 3rd place in each event.

You are just lucky PAWG wasn't there.  We were ready to sweep every event!  But, our Director of Cadet Programs thought that since every SQD competing in the Wing Competition before moving on to Region did not have a Van to transport Cadets, that is was not right and canceled.  Plus he delegated to competition to AF ROTC Cadets at Penn State who should have been Commissioned this May, but (and get this) are not because of various reasons that range from academic failure to getting an underage girl (16)  pregnant.  GOOD MOVE PAWG. 

PAWG sucks, I can't wait to get out of this Wing.

Did Ct's color guard compete I know we had one that was supposed to go? I didn't even no we had a drill team competing?

I'm not sure if CT CG competed... I'm pretty sure they didnt as I heard on friday there was only 4 teams there.... CT DT was basicly, from what I saw, several random cadets from CT put together.... it wasnt even a full team, it was I think 8 cadets and no commander. A cadet from the CAC group played team Commander for them... not to mention they seemed to be much, much younger then the other teams members... I thought they were all 12-13 year olds...

It was a very enjoyable weekend and I think that all of the teams did very well.  I am looking forward to next year's competition.
