As someone who has observed the NJROTC program at Burlington-Edison High School for the past 17 years, and as a retired military officer with 27 years of active duty, I must take exception to comments made in Skagit Breaking by Vr Dan Wenceslao regarding LtCol Rice not being ” the right person to do what was needed”. In truth, LtCol Rice inherited a program which was not properly supported or managed by both the personnel in charge (Capt Bailey and ATC Hull) and the High School administration (Mr. Setterlund). I certainly don’t expect this to be published, but I cannot stand idly by and watch a good Marine’s name being disparaged by those who are truly at the root of the decommissioning of the BEHS NJROTC program.
