Wright State University welcomed LTC Tony Shaffer on Wednesday. LTC Shaffer spoke with a group of Cadets about his field experience, political experience, and career choices for the Army and National Guard. LTC Shaffer also answered any questions the Cadets may have about choosing a career field, and the ability to climb that ladder in that specific field. His presentation was a great success and we look forward to having him again!

In the most recent message from the President, Dr. David Hopkins praised Wright States Army ROTC on their continued success at molding the leaders that the US Army is looking for. Here's what he said:

"Our Army ROTC continues to produce some of the best junior military officers in the country. Every November, our senior cadets learn where they will be assigned once they graduate and are commissioned. The “officer accession” process is based on their academic performance and leadership potential as demonstrated during their time at Wright State. Please join me in congratulating the 16 men and women who just received their duty and officer career field selections for 2011 – 95 percent received their first preference. Great job!"

Army ROTC teamed up with the Athletic Department and Hosted a Military Appreciation Night at the Mens Soccer Game against Detroit Sunday October 10.  Although the Raiders were defeated by Detroit, it did not stop the ROTC cadets from having a good time for the crowd with a Tug of War contest, as well as having the Senior ROTC class recognized for outstanding performance at their Leadership Development and Assesment Course this last summer.  Supported by the Army Recruiting Command, ROTC and the public could participate in a interactive marksmenship game.  It was a good night for support of the men's soccer team as well as our nations heros with good food, friends and smiles.

The WSU Army ROTC battalion participated in the Ohio Best Ranger Team Competition at the University of Xavier on 17 April 2010. Our two person team was represented by Cadet Bolon and Cadet Sayer.  The challenge began at 0600 hours as our WSCC Ranger Team successfully negotiating seven mentally and physically challenging events. The events consisted of the APFT, hand grenade assault course, one rope bridge, land navigation, patrolling test, obstacle course, and the 12 mile road march.  Although our team didn't win they earn the respect and admiration of their Cadet peers and Cadre members alike.  Great work Raider Rangers!!

A series of toasts paying honor to the battalion, the university, the Army, the President, and our country are conducted by the Cadet Corps, cadre, and our guests. The Grog Ceremony highlighting the history and accomplishments of the Raider Battalion. This year guest speaker of the evening was MG Matthew L. Kambic, Ohio Assistant Adjutant General for Army. The Professor of Military Science,LTC Rod Williams, and C/LTC Amber Smith also addressed the Cadet Corps.  Dinner selections for this year’s event were outstanding and delicious.  Each military science class presented a skit representing life in the Raider Battalion.  At the end of the evening, Cadets and their guests danced to music provided by a DJ.  Most importantly, the evening is a time for the Cadets of the Raider Battalion to enhance their military social skills and celebrate the rich heritage of the Raider Battalion.
