SC-932 Says Goodbye to an Amazing Instructor


It is very difficult to say goodbye to such an amazing person. The hundreds of cadets who have been mentored by MSgt Wayne Outram will forever be impacted by his tutelage. MSgt Outram has been instrumental to SC-932's success; our unit has increased enrollment 12%, Exceeded Standards in all Areas on the External Inspection, received the Distinguished Unit Award with Merit, contributed over 28,000 hours (2 years) of service to the community, and much more. The good news--he will be only up the road at NC-20063 J. Robinson High School, Concord NC.
Thank you for everything--We will miss you.

SC-932 Says Goodbye to a Great Leader


A sad day for JROTC SC-932.
The James F. Byrnes Freshman Academy Principal, Mr. Todd Hardy was honored at a private luncheon as we said goodbye to a great leader. Mr. Hardy has been one of SC-932 biggest supporters; BFA has 50% of the cadet corp and without his support our unit would not have received the Distinguished Unit Award with Merit and many other accolades.
THANK YOU Mr. Hardy you will be missed!
