LtCol David Garnish

LtCol Garnish spent 21 years in the Marines flying the AV-8B Harrier. He spent most of his flying time in Yuma, Arizona but also spent time in Japan, South Korea, and on Navy ships sailing the Pacific. He flew 43 combat missions into Iraq during Operation Desert Storm. During his career he also did tours in the Pentagon and working for US SouthCom in Miami. He began teaching ROTC at Clayton High when he retired from active duty in 2005.

Quarter 2 is starting! Christmas and the 2nd semester are just around the corner. We have submitted rosters for our 2nd semester classes. Here are mine:

1st block - Advanced Naval Science 3

2nd block - Advanced Naval Science 4

3rd block - Planning

4th block - Honors Drill and ceremonies.

I have updated the calendar with everything we know so far. We have some big drill meets and the Military Ball to look forward to. As always, we will have many community service opportunities throughout the year. We are locking on the dates for our Spring Trip. It looks like 12 - 15 April at the Coast Guard Base at Fort Macon, near Atlantic Beach.

If you want to be part of my Remind group, the class is Naval Science and the class code is @f87fc4249d.

Check out the calendar for all of our upcoming events.
