Battalion Commander
c/Lieutenant Colonel Noura Al-Zanbai

Hello Kearny Komets! I am cadet Lieutenant Colonel Noura Al-Zanbai, and I will be serving as the Battalion Commander for the duration of the 2020-2021 school year. During my two years at Kearny, I have developed a love for AJROTC. The teams, the teamwork, and the closely-knit community inspired me to help continue those qualities. As Kearny’s BC, I am responsible for directing the battalion and achieving set goals. One of my goals is to share my passion for this program and help guide other cadets into success, while also creating a friendly and safe environment. Something that I will promote in this program is academic excellence, career planning as that is part of success in higher education and in the workforce. My vision for this school year is to give cadets a support system while also helping them achieve academic and personal goals, especially during these times. Kearny Komets know no limits! |

Yuleisy Alamo |
Greetings Kearny Komets! I am Cadet Command Sergeant Major Yuleisy Alamo, and I will be serving as the Command Sergeant Major for this school year of 2020-2021. As a sophomore serving as third in command, I believe that no matter your background, age, nor experience can stand in the way of you accomplishing your goals. This is what AJROTC taught me; it gave me leadership skills, confidence, and most importantly the initiative to take matters into my own hands. And that is something that I do not only want to share with the cadets, but also pass it on to all of you. As Kearny’s CSM, my duties are to keep our teams organized, and our First Sergeants in check. One of my main goals is to maintain a fair and responsible system of leadership which can teach the cadets holding responsibility, and the ones being commanded to be the great leaders of tomorrow. I am looking forward to seeing the growth of our Battalion, but most importantly the growth of every single one of you cadets. Kearny Komets know no limits! |

What’s good! Hi! My name is Caylebe McCoy and I am your Battalion S-2 for the 2020-2021 school year. My job as S-2 is to make sure every cadet that attends a JROTC event is safe from any risk of hazardous situations. I am your S-2 because I am hard working and great at what I do, also because I was 3rd in line for the position. I believe joining JROTC was one of the best decisions I have made. Not only have made some of my best friends through the program but I have also learned leadership, organization skills, confidence, and team working skills. These are skills that can benefit everyone. I hope to not only, teach and aid cadets through this program, but also to become a better person in the process. Some of my favorite things to do are playing video games, producing music, and playing drums. I’ve been playing drums for 4 years. |
