All cadets are expected to attend and participate by helping out with making sure all things run smoothly. This will be the first Raider meet of the semester, and we are looking for it to be very successful. Scabbard & Blade The National Society of Scabbard and Blade was founded during the school year 1904-1905 at the University of Wisconsin by five senior officers in the cadet corps. The five founders of Scabbard and Blade were Leo M. Cook, Albert W. Foster, Victor R. Griggs, Charles A. Taylor, and Harold K. Weld. From the wisdom of these five founders came the establishment of this lasting society which is recognized both locally and nationally as an organization of high prestige and ideals. The Society has become inactive on two occasions. These were during World War I and World War II, when there were no courses of military training in universities and colleges because every able bodied man was in the service. The first National Convention was held on May 11, 1906, at Madison, Wisconsin, and was attended by representatives of the four Companies which then comprised the Society. Conventions were held annually until April 1916, after which no convention was held until February 1920. This inactivity was due to World War I. Following the 1920 meeting, conventions were held every two years. This practice continued until 1940 when war interrupted the progress of the Society and all companies were directed by General Order to bring their affairs to a close. In November 1947, after seventy companies had been reactivated, a convention was called. Five Stars!

This lab marked a momentous occasion as we activated Delta Company at Johnson C Smith University. After the ceremony the MS1s and 2s stayed at JCSU to conduct lab while the MS3s returned to UNCC to conduct STX lanes. When asked what they thought of lab, Cadet Withers stated that he wished they had more time to practice STX lanes. He was glad to see the MS4s take charge, participate and share their experiences from LDAC. Cadet Withers also stated that “the move from JCSU to UNCC took up a lot of time that could have been used for STX. Overall the training was good, a lot of the lanes intersected, as in the squads crossed each other during lanes which caused some confusion.” MS II Tucker stated that lab as JCSU went very well. “The worst part was the IMT but the best part was the grenades and D&C.

If you have the mindset that was: dissemination of information from Cadet Staff you’re going to try your best at every task and finish it then you will feel good about yourself to Cadet COC, and also the communication as person and what you accomplished that day. between schools of the 49er Battalion. For the cadets that can’t put the time in to attend endurance PT on Tuesdays and Fridays Stay motivated and strong willed, and the my advice is to set a time slot in your schedule Battalion will soar to new heights this semester for those days were you plan to work out. cadets.

  • Millini -Spring 2016 Final Version
    The Millini—June 2016 Volume 2016, Issue 1 The MILLINI A publication from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Department of Military Science The Millini—June 2016 Volume 2016, Issue 1 Message from the Professor of Military Science by LTC Christopher M. Leung I hope everyone is having a great summer! About half of the Fighting Illini Battalion Cadets are involved in Army training this summer. We have Cadets in various training programs including: Cadet Initial Entry Training, Cadet Summer Training, professional internships, internships with foreign militaries, and Air Assault School. We look forward to welcoming everyone back in the fall, with new knowledge and experience, as they prepare to attack a new semester. The spring 2016 semester was challenging, fast paced and certainly provided some great leadership opportunities. We broke ground on some new training and development opportunities, while recognizing our legacy through the UIUC Hall of Fame and alumni outreach. We also saw nine Cadets earn their Presidential Commissions as Second Lieutenants, which was tremendously rewarding. Like General Perkins once said in a famous speech on Mission Command, that is “what we are for” - creating Officers. I offer a well-earned congratulations to our new Lieutenants: Blaha, Duggirala, Kim, Moore, O’Neil, Ripka, Topacio, Williams, and to Cadet Palmer, who will pin her rank later this summer. This is a great milestone for these Officers, and validation of their leadership and hard work over the years as ROTC Cadets. Thank you for all your hard work and sacrifice, and best of luck to you as you go off to your branch training, and to your units to take charge across the country and around the world.

  • CLASSES in Every Educational System There Must Be a Yardstick
    CLASSES In every educational system there must be a yardstick. Invariably this yardstick involves the test of knowledgethe quiz. In spite of the arguments pro and con the quiz remains as the challenge. Here we see the frustration of the announcement, the anguish of study and finally the relief of knowing that its all over. Once again the quiz has established itself as the measure and once again the student has lived up to that measure. Comprising the smallest and most intellectually select of the five classes at Georgia Tech are the Graduates. These ambitious scholars, not to be satisfied with the "run of the mill' Bachelor degree, are exposed to the more highly advanced problems of their chosen profession, so that upon completion of their studies and having been designated a Master of Science, of Architecture, or of City Planning, or the even more respected Doctor of Philosophy, they might properly be considered authorities in their respective fields. Not a few of these students are graduates from engineering schools other than Tech, and they represent not only various states but many of the nations of the world. From Artesia, California, comes Don Kilby, president of the class—a gradu- ate in Chemistry. Vadene Smith, a Physics major, is vice- president, Bobby Barfield is secretary, and the treasurer this year is Larry Comer. GRADUATE STUDENTS ALFORD, CECIL O., Electrical Engineering . Gay, Ga.
