FALL RIVER: A local Dartmouth Sea Cadet has earned a slew of awards from her cadet group, while also getting a promotion to a new designation.
Fall River resident Sarah MacDonald-Miles was announced as the 24 RCSCC Magnificent award winner for Top Drill Team Member and Most Improved Biathlon Team Member. She also was promoted to Petty Officer First Class during the awards announcement, held recently.
MacDonald-Miles recieved the Top Drill team member award because she really stepped up as a leader. She showed amazing dedication, enthusiasm and helped her team to learn and grow.
Petty Officer First Class MacDonald-Miles was also our Drill Team Commander this year.
“My favourite part of being the drill commander was seeing all the happy faces bright and early every Saturday morning,” she said. “They were always ready to practice what ever I threw at them.”
Biathlon is a sport that includes running and marksmanship together. It is a lot harder than you would think.
