Overall, I think the Corps in the Classroom campaign was a huge success. They had plenty of strengths within their campaign. For starters, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers did a lot of research which consisted of both qualitative and quantitative data from the Equal Employment Opportunity report, which evaluated STEM involvement levels for that year.

Birney Crum Stadium in Allentown, PA to watch this classic drum corps event. I only barely remember the corps that performed or what their…
To myself, service to country is one the greatest feeling you could ever imagine. I know this feeling from my 4 years of service in the Marine Corps. When I got out in 2012, I went to school, got a job and joined the rest of the world. You notice a different between a civilian and someone in the military.

Drum corps is an activity that I feel very strongly about, as well as the group of people that form the community, joining and doing it has been one of the best…

In recent years, some historic upheavals include the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” and the removal of gender-restrictions on military occupational specialties.
