Duke NCCU Army ROTC

Week 10 at the BCB was very eventful. During the leadership laboratory lane, the BCB went to Bunter and had the opportunity to fly in helicopters with the National Guard. Cadets participated in an attack/raid lane and successfully captured their objective. In preparation for this lab, PL CDT Marsh delivered a very detailed OPORD brief to the battalion. Based on her performance and leadership during the lab, CDT Marsh was named Cadet of the Week for her attention to detail and demonstrated knowledge and skills. We also said goodbye to Sergeant Chapman after 25 years of dedicated service in the Army. He is retiring and will be greatly missed by the battalion for his hard work and dedication—he is truly irreplaceable. As part of our Health and Holistic Fitness program, we had a yoga instructor lead a PT session, teaching the battalion yoga techniques and sharing words of motivation and wisdom. Additionally, during PT, the BCB was divided into interest groups that competed against one another for prizes. These groups were organized into larger teams to help cadets build stronger connections and relate to one another more effectively.

Last week, the Ranger Challenge team completed a 5-mile run in preparation for the upcoming competition! This week of PT concluded with a classic Bull City sunrise. CDT Kundu was awarded the USAA Cadet Scholarship for her outstanding achievement in and out of ROTC. Congratulations, CDT Kundu! CDT Birch and LaGere both received scholarships to duke university for there hardwork and dedication to this program. We are proud of their accomplishments and look forward to their continued success.
