A Week Full of Surprises

Heading into week six of Spring Semester, the intensity is picking up quickly whether that’s in the classroom via midterms or a challenging morning training on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Along with all that added intensity comes a lot of new excitement and opportunities.

Detachment 415 welcomes two new cadets to the ROTC program as 100’s this Spring Semester. Cadet Kutz and Cadet Wallock are really enjoying the program so far and can’t wait to see all the opportunities that their hard work will bring them.

Speaking of hard work, two in college AFROTC scholarships were awarded this past week to Cadet Medina and Cadet Gilmore. Congrats on your hard work!



A huge Congratulations to Major Schweiker as she received the Defense Meritorious Service Medal for distinguishing herself through non-combat outstanding achievement.


One of the recent highlights was the Air Force rated career field selection. Hairs stood on end as Captain Johnson had cadets spin a spinner to display their assignment. Cadet Braun, Timinski, and Burneske were assigned pilot. Cadet Donahue, Bendler, and Banaszak got Combat Systems Officer. Cadet Wells got ABM and Cadet Brown got RPA Pilot. The classroom erupted with cheers as the results were heard.  


The Flying Gophers got together to help clean up the Sports Pavilion after a men’s gymnastic meet. The cadets loved helping out and working together to make the arena spotless…and they had fun in the process. 


The energy and excitement is just picking up and we can’t wait to see what surprises the following weeks will have in store for us.
