CAMP PERRY, OHIO – If you have aspirations of becoming the next individual or team JROTC Service Champion and possibly a National Champion, your preparation period begins now as fellow Army, Marine Corps, Navy and Air Force JROTC Cadets across the country begin preparations to compete in the 2010-2011 Air Rifle Postal Competitions.

|
The CMP's Competition Tracker will allow JROTC instructors to register their teams and order targets. Once competition begins, shooters’ friends and families can track results.
|
Once again CMP will be using Competition Tracker for JROTC instructors to register teams and order targets for Postal competition. Once registered, each cadet will receive three targets and instructions for firing the three position match on their home ranges. These targets will be specially marked by the CMP with the cadet’s information that will assist in the speedy scoring of these targets once they are returned.
Like last year, CMP staff members will be using the Orion Visual Image Scoring system to verify and score targets. The targets will be scanned and digitally scored using the computer program. Scores from the Postals will be displayed on the CMP’s Competition Tracker results page so teams can see the results progress throughout the Postal season.

CMP staff members will verify all targets after they are scored electronically by the Orion visual imaging scoring system.

Links to register for the Postals, as well as links to the Match Programs can be found at
http://www.odcmp.com/3P/JROTC.htm.
There are a few important dates for the Postals. From now until 12 November entries will be accepted. Once target sets are sent out to units, targets can be fired at any time, but must be postmarked by 24 November and received by 3 December to be included in this year’s results. Although scores will be posted online as they are scored, results become final on 10 December.

The winner of the 2009-2010 National JROTC precision team championship was Siegel High School Army JROTC of Tennessee who fired a team aggregate score of 4633 – 280.

These Postal matches provide JROTC units from across the country the opportunity to participate in a national level competition as well as to qualify the teams and individuals for their respective Service Championships. This year’s Service Championships will be held at both CMP North and South Competition Centers at Camp Perry, Port Clinton, Ohio and Anniston, Alabama.
