During the camp, cadets were able to earn medals, which they will don on their uniforms throughout the rest of their time in JROTC. These medals served as a testament to the cadets’ dedication and perseverance, and represent their completion of the events.

Colonel Nichols earned a unique recognition, as she was awarded the Camp Leadership Award out of all the cadets in attendance. To earn this award, Colonel Nichols appeared before a panel of five retired U.S. Army Command Sergeant Majors, where she discussed a broad range of topics related to JROTC, leadership, and current events – a task that is challenging for even active duty soldiers. Colonel Nichols received a trophy and a medal to commemorate the honor.

Both the Southeastern Early College and Career Academy (SECCA), who houses the JROTC Thunderbolt Regimen, and Montgomery County Schools emphasized their pride in Nichols’ accomplishment, as they congratulated her on a job well done.
