Although the majority of success with Curie Metro High School Condor’s MCJROTC program lies with the cadets, the Marine Instructors are the individual who motivates them to be the best they can be.  1stSgt Westbrook and GySgt Small are responsible for the direction and daily operation of the program.  Each instructor has over 20 years of exemplary Marine Corps service.  These instructors both take a personal interest in all cadets to provide direction and to instill self-respect to the cadets of the program.  Whether through classroom instruction or other activities, the instructors always challenge the cadets to bring out their confidence and make it possible for them to become great leaders.

1stSgt Westbrook enlisted in the Marine Corps in October of 1976 and served in the Marine Corps a total of 22 years.  He served with many units including tours as a Drill Instructor, Sea Duty and an Instructor within the Supply MOS.   His last active duty assignment was with 2^nd Batallion 5^th Marines Golf Company where he served as the Company 1stSgt.  He has been a JROTC instructor at Curie Metro High School since December 1998.
