Blaster Company conducted tactical skills PT led by the cadre this week. Cadets moved as a squad and conducted knot tying, call for fire, medical evacuation, and tested their knowledge of key weapon systems. Some additional exercises were added to each station to increase the stress and build the team!
Today we honored CDT Folken, who we lost last year to su***de. Thank you to everyone who supported this event.

When you go to school in the mountains, you take full advantage of the opportunity to PT in the mountains!
Blaster company conducted PT at Red Rocks Amphitheater this week enjoying an awesome sunrise over the fog-covered Denver area.
Best in the West!

The rivalry continues! Air Force and Army ROTC cadets faced off in a Mines ROTC tradition, buttball. It's nothing gross, just a roll of clean toilet paper wrapped in duct tape and played similar to ultimate frisbee/football.
Army retained the title of champ and are looking forward to the next joint PT.

Thanks to all who joined us, especially for showing the students your support of our program! It's not everyday you get school administration to come rappelling with the cadets.

Cadets braved the cold and snow this morning to continue refining their tactical skills as our MSIIIs prepare for Cadet Summer Training. The Kentucky woods will look different than beautiful Colorado, but the fundamentals still apply.
