    Every week The University of Toledo's Army ROTC Rocket Battalion has a hands on lab. This past week we had a weapons lab including the M249, 50 CAL, M203, M16 and the M19.

We had small groups which gave us more experience with the weapons. My favorite part of the lab was getting to shoot the M19. Next week in lab we are doing...read more

    Learning a different language is helpful no matter your MOS. I understand this, but which do you think is "more useful" than others? Currently, I have a firm grasp on English (ha ha), a good understanding of Spanish, and the basics of Russian. (I am at a conversational level with each language) However, I have been instructed to choose yet another language...a 'modern' language. So here are my top 3 options: French, German, and Italian My major is...read more

  • New school, new start

    August 22, 2011

    By: Cadet Susanne Hauser


    One thing I've learned in my two years as a cadet is my potential and how much I really do love ROTC and how I do want to make a career out of the military. I have been in UNI's battalion for the past two years and I realized that maybe being so far from my parents wasn't a good choice. I'm going to become an officer in 2 years and I realized that it's time to make grown up decisions and realize what battalion would fit best for me. I am extremely excited to start at Western Kentucky University...read more
