Since the beginning of the fall semester, LTC Pitz and CPT Daniels have administered the contracting oath to 19 cadets in the Badger Battalion. CDT Snieg, CDT Baer, CDT Chrnelich, CDT Jaeger, CDT Kopp, CDT Ludwig, CDT Moore, CDT Reichers, CDT Strong, CDT Torrico, CDT Blahnik, CDT Boyle, CDT Domsic A., CDT Domsic J., CDT Herring, CDT Kastelic, CDT Lange, CDT Raupp and CDT Sprague were all welcomed into the Badger Battalion family after raising their right hand and reciting the oath. Contracting is a big step for these cadets as it signifies the beginning of their training to become officers in the U.S. Army. Congratulations to all them all and "Badgers Up Front!"
Every year, the Indiana University Army ROTC hosts the German Armed Forces Proficiency Badge competition at Camp Atterbury, Indiana. ROTC Units from all over the area send teams to compete and hopefully walk away with a new badge they can proudly wear. These cadets get tested in their ability to fire an M9 pistol, run, swim, jump, throw a shot-put, and complete a grueling ruck march. The testing is rigorous and is completed in a 3 day time frame.
This year, the Badger Battalion sent 10 cadets to Indiana University and 8 of those came away from the competition with the highly coveted badge, with 6 earning the gold and 2 the silver badges. Congratulations to all the winners and check out the pictures in the album from this past weekend.
