| “Outside of training, ROTC is like a club, in a sense. We’ve been to baseball games, NHRA races, and spent some time at the beach. We got to ride around in a helicopter which landed on campus for a recruiting event. Our Color Guard performs at countless official functions and they’ve met many distinguished people. Our Ranger Challenge team competes with teams from across the nation. There are plenty of things to do in ROTC outside of just learning.” |

ROTC Offers Many Opportunities to Excel
In Army ROTC, it's not all classroom and field training. There are many opportunities
for you to get to know your fellow cadets better and increase your skills in a variety
of areas. Learn more about these events and activities below.
Ranger Challenge
The Ranger Challenge is an opportunity for schools to "compete" with each other
completing military tasks. In addition to a written examination where Cadets
test their Army knowledge, there are physical fitness drills and field exercises.
Battalions leave a Ranger Challenge with stronger bonds and sharper skills.
Pershing Rifles
The National Society of Pershing Rifles gives Army ROTC Cadets the opportunity
to develop to the highest degree possible. Cadets can take part in precision
trick rifle drill teams that provide them with the outstanding traits of
leadership, military bearing and discipline.
Training for Ranger Challenge.
This is where ROTC culminates. Upon graduation, cadets are
commissioned as Officers of the United States Army. Families, friends, and
distinguished guests take part in the commissioning as well as the ceremonial
aspects of the event. It is here where graduates graduate from a cadet to a
commissioned Officer, a leader of Soldiers.
Dining Out
Each Spring the Titan Battalion holds a formal military ball where cadets
invite their dates and distinguished guests partake in tradition and ceremony.
Dining Out, while a celebratory event, also serves as an opportunity to prepare
cadets for formal, traditional affairs that are common place in their careers
as Army Officers. For the Titan Battalion, this formal event has been held in
places like the Queen Mary.
