ROTC Longwood University/ Hampden-Sydney College

It’s Why Wednesday! There’s a lot of family history in the military for many cadets in the Spider Battalion, stay tuned to learn about other cadets and why they joined Army ROTC!🫡

Throwback to our cadets conducting the Combat Water Survival Test (CWST). This training tests the cadets stamina with a series of aquatic events, to include confidence drills and 10 minute unassisted swimming.

This week’s Cadet spotlight 🔊Meet CDT Brandon Broussard! When you see him on campus, be sure to ask him about his experience with the program.

Come see us at Longwood University’s Open House and ask what Army ROTC can do for you! We will be in Blackwell Ballroom during the Bull Pen until 1:45PM!

Proud to support the great veterans of Farmville at yesterday's Veteran's Day Extravaganza! C Co's honor guard team, consisting of Cadets White, Spicer, Blanchard, and Thomas, helped with the opening ceremony. Local National Guard units donated static displays of HMMWVs, HEMMTTs, and an M577! Cadets McCarty, Williams, Smith, and Spicer also helped with the set up 💪 Thanks for all who helped us make this a special event.🇺🇲

C Co's Color Guard detail today, consisting of Cadets Kahn, McLarn, Blanchard, and Barnes, presented the colors for the Veteran's Day Ceremony hosted by Central Middle School, Eureka Elementary, and Randolph-Henry High. Local veterans and parents were thanked for their service as the children defined what it means to serve and sang songs like Yankee Doodle and each of the branches' songs. A cute event we were happy to support! 🫡🇺🇲
