AFJROTC Instructors,

Drill-Team Dynamics Inc. is the premier provider of customized, on-site drill team training services founded by current and former JROTC Instructors, classroom teachers, and professionally employed drill team coaches.

AFMAN 36-2203 states that drill “consists of certain movements by which the flight or squadron is moved in an orderly manner from one formation to another or from one place to another.” But at the JROTC level, drill does so much more. It builds confidence and self-esteem; it instills discipline and esprit de corps; and most importantly, it teaches the value and virtue of hard work. These are lessons developed on the drill floor but which extend far beyond it and develop young men and women into citizens of character.

We founded our organization to give back to a community which has enriched the lives of thousands of cadets worldwide through the unique leadership vehicle that is competitive drill. It is our sole desire to transfer the knowledge, skills, and insight we’ve gained through our collective years of experience as coaches and mentors.

We’ve been asked repeatedly, “Why would you share your knowledge if it might lead to another school overtaking your own?” The answer is simple: Competitive drill is healthier when any number of talented, motivated groups are in top form and in true contention at any given competition. It forces our staff to continue to work hard and innovate to stay ahead of the power curve and ultimately, more cadets benefit from the lessons learned through their involvement on the drill team.

We are prepared to bring our considerable collective experiences to bear in support of your unit. Our staff has raised championship programs from the ground up, revitalized and sustained perennial “powerhouse” programs, and taught drill to cadets of all service affiliations, experience levels, and socioeconomic backgrounds.

We are prepared to assist you.

Very respectfully,

Christopher Borghese, 1stSgt, USMC (Ret) Executive Director, Drill-Team Dynamics Inc.

WHATDrill-Team Dynamics Inc. offers comprehensive, customizable instruction in all facets of competitive drill and drill team leadership. This includes:

• Regulation Drill in accordance w/ AFMAN 36-2203, Army TC 3-21.5, & MCO P5060.20

• Championship Practice & Preparation procedures learned through years of coaching experience

Additionally, our signature “Three Pitons of Leadership” course delivered exclusively by 1stSgt Christopher Borghese is an eye-opening, realistic look at the leadership, decision-making, and situational awareness skills that cadets need to be a successful drill team. This course focuses on leadership in a drill team context, what it takes to be successful on and off the drill floor, and uses real-life examples to illustrate how your cadets’ choices today can and will impact their future.

This course is often what cadets remember most about our training because of its implications for the success of the unit as a whole!

WHENOur on-site training can be delivered year-round to suit your school and/or district schedule, your contract timeframe, and the needs of your cadets. Typically, a training workshop:

• Consists of 3 days of high-impact, intense instruction • Lasts 6 total training hours each day to include a “working lunch”• Has limited “down-time” and no “horse-play” time • Covers all facets of competitive drill • Utilizes 2-3 Drill-Team Dynamics Inc. Coaches

Obviously, your workshop’s schedule, timeframes, and curriculum are adjustable to fit your needs. We are 100% flexible in organizing and executing training for maximum benefit to your cadets!

WHEREOur training is delivered on-site at your facilities. We only ask that adequate access to restroom facilities and hydration as well as adequate safe drill areas are provided for the duration of training!

WHYYour cadets will experience the hard work, intense practice, and constant physical engagement pursued by top-tier teams across the country. Your training experience is genuine: our model is based on best-practices implemented at strong programs nationwide. Our instruction is accurate, engaging, and always professional. This is an educational experience for your unit; NOT a mini-boot camp!

HOWPlanning & scheduling a drill team training workshop is easy by following these simple steps:

• Contact Us via www.drill-dynamics.com or by phone at (815) 483-7083

• Discuss the unique needs of your unit as well as any logistical factors & scheduling

• Receive a quote for training services rendered based on the needs discussed

• Approve the quote for training services (we will provide a W9 and complete any vendor/contractor paperwork required)

Everyone is most concerned about pricing of a training workshop. We operate on the active-duty per diem schedule of $41 per day per trainer for meals, $0.56 per mile driven (or total cost of airfare), and total cost of lodging. Some units prefer to book airfare/lodging and others request we simply invoice them for these associated costs. We can handle this a variety of ways to best suit your needs!

Instructional costs depend on the number of trainers required to safely and successfully complete the mission as well as the total number of training hours.
