Cadets and Seniors from the COASTAL BEND CADET SQUADRON and CORPUS CHRISTI COMPOSITE SQUADRON assisted at the 2013 Beach-to-Bay Relay race which was held Saturday, 18 May 2013 in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Cadet assisted with the finish line activities, fielded a Color Guard at the Awards Ceremony and provided passive security to the awards table.

While cadets have participated in this manner going back to the late 1990s, there was a special measure taken in wake of the recent bombing at the Boston Marathon earlier this year.

"Cadets were very situationally aware," said Major Joe Ely Carrales, "not only in monitoring the awards table, but keeping an eye open for suspicious activity."

Major Carrales went on to say that, while the units were in a hightened sense of awareness, it was important to maintain a since of normalacy.

Cadets at the earliest stages of the Beach-To-Bay Relay take positions to monitor the activity.  By the end of the day, thousdands of people would crowd the awards area.
