ARMY ROTC
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.

Dining Out 2010
ROTC isn’t always about hard work and training. Cadets also participate in formal events like the annual Dining Out, an evening of fun, food, and socializing. In May 2010, the event was held aboard the Queen Mary, a ship docked in the Long Beach Harbor.
“ Doing activities with ROTC allowed me to build relationships with my peers in college. Now I have friends that I will see all over the world as an Army officer. ”

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.
