Fundraising, Recruiting, and Sponsors
Without the support of our sponsors, fundraisers, and recruiting trips, our unit would be struggling to stay afloat. So, if able and willing, please donate to help us give each and every cadet the tools and skills they can use as an adult. In addition, to fundraising, sponsorship from: the Rotary Club, and the Dominion Shooting range, uplifts our potential. Consequently, recruiting plays a major role to our unit. That is why it is so vital that we get new cadets to sign up. Nonetheless, if you are interested in our unit check out the cadet resources portion above to view the required forms, and or to get a waiver if interested in our fine Navy program.

Honoring those who gave the ultimate sacrifice…
On the left, Lance Corporal Karl Linn and on the right, Lance Corporal Jourdan Grez. These are two fellow James River Alumni who answered the call to serve. To preserve freedom abroad, these soldiers would be deployed to Iraq amid the Iraqi war. Both Karl Linn and Jourdan Grez, who assisted in Operation Iraqi Freedom, gave their lives to ensure we keep ours.
