Cadet Colonel Kimberly Salazar

My name is Kimberly Salazar serving as the Cadet Battalion Commander of MCJROTC at Orange High School. This is my fourth year in MCJROTC.  Billets I have held in the past include cadet Squad Leader, Platoon Guide, Platoon Commander, and Rifle Team Commander. During the past three years I have attended all the cadet fieldtrips the program has offered. For example Zodiac boat training and visiting Camp Pendleton during spring break and Hawaii Leadership Academy.  For the past five years I have volunteered at the Rehabilitation Center here in Orange County, California that is for adults as well as kids that are both physically and mentally disabled. Other volunteer work that I've done  include beach clean up, park clean up, Toys for Tots, Adopt a Rose,  helping at the Discovery Science Center, helping in a Retiring  Home, and at a pre-school. I graduate June 2010 after that I will report to Recruit Training at Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island, South Carolina to become a United States Marine. My goals for the future is to major in psychology and sociology so I can become a Social Worker. I also want to become part of Los Angeles Police Department k-9 unit once I'm out of the Marine Corps.
