TACMAP Movin Up

On the 28 July, 2012, our TACMAP cadets graduated with great pride. With an unusual, but yet attracive fashion, our cadets present themselves by exiting curtains, bowing before they step onto the matt. Begining with the great National Anthem, our cadets and officers salute. Standing to the side our great teachers are LTC. Gorman and Major Cambel. With LTC. Gorman introducing these hardworking cadets, they present themselves by showing their moves.

   Ending with some great words, our cadets were presented with there belts. Along with these belts the highest belt earned is the orange belt, earned by CPL. Jessica Strange. As said before our cadets exit the matt, bowing before leaving, in an orderly fashion. Afterwords the cadets leave to go home with pride and confidence.
