Battalion Command Sergeant Major

c/CSM Angel Hernandez

Kamusta! My name is Kris Angel Hernandez, also known as “Yandy”! I am a 11th grade student in Kearny Digital Media and Design high school, I grew up being exposed on various types of arts all the time and have a decent experience and skills in these; editing (video and image): Graphic design, highlights montage, painting, sketching, dancing, acting, singing, photography, comics, and poetry. I have been fond of art since I was young, as my family also likes art, especially my mother. I started to take a step in kindergarten and had a recognition in elementary to highschool. I used to create the art forms in many ways; allowing me to expand my creativity, self-expression, and overall skill in that art. I also do a self-taught martial art, Arnis! Besides those hobbies, I also enjoy being extra in school, I strive for academic success while also being involved in extracurricular activities and leadership positions throughout my school years. I like pushing myself through what I thought i'm only capable of, I love to create new experiences and build skills. I strive through each day, overcoming challenges and fears to make it to the end of the day, and I get better the next day. I believe that no matter how hard and scary some situation is, I have the strength given by God to make it through everyday.

JROTC Career

The reason why I joined this program is because the previous command group went into our classroom to talk about their program, and this is something very new to me as a fresh kid in America. I took this is as a big step for me, and ever since then, I mostly dedicate my school time to this program, especially in Color Guard! In this school year, I am more dedicated on communicating to company and team leadership, and continue to revive our unarmed drill team! You are more than welcome to join our teams!--don't miss out on these amazing opportunities!

This is my 3rd year in high school and so far i am always on the honor roll! I like to participate on class in anyway I can. Our project for this year on DMD is Communication by Design, which mainly talks about ones indentity be known, while also learning more further about Kumeyaay history here in San Diego!

Although we weren’t at our peak in this school year, my goal for this Battalion is to make it more hooah! I want to work on communication in between the AIs/SAI, staffs, and NCOs in this program and work on JROTC values from each cadets, I strive for each team to be more sucessful and organized!
