THE GROUP Commander of the 7th Regional Community Defense Group (7RCDG) Army Reserve Command based in Camp Lapu-Lapu, Cebu City and an advanced Reserve Officer's Training Corps (ROTC) Cadet of Cebu State College of Science and Technology (CSCST)-Main Campus in Cebu City bagged the top place in their respective categories in last month's National ROTC Shooting Competition held last March 12 and 13 at the ARESCOM headquarters in Tanza, Cavite.
Colonel Eulalio B. Albeza Jr., together with Cadet 1st Class Jose Jupiter Orzales, a second year advance ROTC Cadet of CSCST's ROTC unit, bested other participants nationwide in the pistol .45 caliber pistol category.
Albeza overpowered 12 other group commanders in the RCDG Group Commanders Pistol Shooting Category, while Orzales defeated other cadet shooters in the Army ROTC PIstol Shooting Category.
Both winners attributed their achievements to training and preparation, and received trophies for their efforts.
Another participant from Region 7, Cadet 1st Class Karl Landee I. Baybay of Foundation University, Dumaguete City, ranked fifth in the M16 Rifle Category.
Cadet 1st Class Ricardo Nanggan Jr. of the Silliman University ROTC Unit was chosen as Best Male Cadet of the year from among the candidates representing 13 regions all throughout the country.
Master Sergeant Alex V. Cabug, chief non-commissioned officer for the Civil Military Operations Office of 7RCDG, said Nanggan was selected for the award this year because of his active involvement in campus and community services as Fraternity Commander of the Red Shield Fraternity.
Nanggan is also the president of the Bantay Campus Task Force-Silliman University Chapter. He is the former student group president of Public Assistance and Reaction Against Crime, Junior Adviser of the Silliman Student Government's Drug Watch Commission, and Corps Coordinator of the ROTC Student's Intelligence Net from 2002 up to the present.
Nanggan is also a recipient of several medals for efficiency and duty, apart from the loyalty, leadership and honor star medals.

Any news about this?
I wish this not to be held for ROTC units only but create one for Reservist Units as well.
Something like the one below might encourage Reservist to be more active.

Competing teams were given patrol orders and navigated to the designated pickup zone. Upon dismounted the helicopter, the competitors had to make their way through several obstacles before ever engaging targets on the range, testing their Marksmanship and physical skills under simulated combat conditions.

| Top Guard Shooters Battle It Out In the Natural State Guardsmen from all over the country compete in marksmanship championships By Capt. Curtis McElroy and 2nd Lt. Doug Woodruff National Guard Marksmanship Training Unit Public Affairs Office NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – The National Guard Marksmanship Training Unit (NGMTU) hosted over 300 competitors at the 36th Annual Winston P. Wilson (WPW) Rifle and Pistol Championships at Camp Joseph T. Robinson during the weeklong November competition. Designed to promote advanced marksmanship training and establish a competitive marksmanship venue for the National Guard, this year’s competition attracted Soldiers and Airmen from thirty-five states and territories. "The matches are combat-oriented, but at the same time, they include some precision slow fire shooting, so these Matches are different from your standard bull's-eye shooting because of the combat orientation, physical intensity [shoot and move], and utilization of standard issued weapon systems," said Staff Sgt. Micah Marchand, a double distinguished marksman, veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom, and instructor for the NGMTU's Squad Designated Marksman course. "Shooters are able to enroll in our schools to better know how to operate and maintain all types of weapon systems, and some of the best shooters are offered a chance to try out for the All Guard team and invited back as instructors for some of our advanced marksmanship courses." “These matches aren't for beginner level shooters, but teams willing to practice and prepare to travel to Camp Robinson and compete at the pinnacle of National Guard marksmanship competition have a good chance of winning at the Winston P. Wilson,” said Master Sgt. Martin Keller, National Guard Marksmanship Training Unit Operations Non-Commissioned Officer-In-Charge. "The Winston P. Wilson Matches are, for the most part, a chance for younger shooters to learn from more experienced shooters the advanced marksmanship skills needed to compete against the caliber of competitors present at the Wilson matches," said Marchand, who has been competitively shooting for over a decade and is a current member of the All Guard team. "These skills cannot be obtained from reading a training manual or a field manual, but through realistic combative shooting events." The WPW gives individuals an opportunity to test marksmanship skills and weapon systems in a battle-focused training environment. All-Guard team member, Staff Sgt. Nathan Watters, of the Texas Air National Guard, said this type of competition “enhances Soldier’s and Airmen’s ability to survive on the battlefield by allowing them to have engagement skills under a high competitive stress that leaves no margin of error.”[/b] “For these disciplines, we have shoot and move matches, simulated barricades, prone and kneeling positions,” said Watters. “We’re shooting in an environment that, for the most part, Soldiers and Airmen don’t get to experience in their normal qualification programs.” The competition's matches are geared to bring out the most advanced marksmanship skills obtained through state and regional level training programs. If winning the Winston P. Wilson is a test of a state's marksmanship program, then Texas has room to boast. They were this year's big winner. They placed first in the All States Trophy Championship and dominated most of the individual and team competition. "Our success stems from the amount of training prior to the WPW matches," said Chief Warrant Officer Rick Tanner, Texas's State Marksmanship Coordinator. "Our general staff provides us all of the necessary tools, funding, and training time to make us successful at these competitions." |

More like of the airsoft games we all have in mind but uses actual weapons, of course on artificial targets.
But...."Our general staff provides us all of the necessary tools, funding, and training time to make us successful at these competitions." which is always the problem on our case. :armyredface:
