UCF AROTC Ranger Challenge
In preparation for their yearly Ranger Challenge competition,
the UCF AROTC Fighting Knights are receiving a block of
instruction on how to call in artillery fire support from
experience cadre who have firsthand experience with the
procedure. This is one of the culminating events leading up to
the competition at Ft. Benning.
These cadets have endured a rigorous two months of
training that includes: stress shooting, road marching,
land navigation, zodiac boat operations, obstacle
courses and trauma evacuation lanes. They been
training early every morning and sometimes on the
weekends, but competing as a team representing UCF
AROTC will be all worth the hardship.
Pictured right is the 2011 UCF Army
ROTC Ten Miler Team. These cadets
have been training hard in preparation
for this year’s race. From the late nights
studying for their ROTC and
other academic classes, to the
countless miles they’ve put in, this group
exemplifies true hard work. These young
men and women had to display a strong
degree of intestinal fortitude in order to
compete with their peers and earn a
spot on the team. With only eight slots
available, these cadets have withstood
the test of time and mileage.
They stand head and shoulders above
their peers and with their unwavering
degree of effort, dedication, and discipline; each of them deserves the opportunity to showcase their
talents in this year’s Army Ten Miler. They are (from Left to Right) Top: Aswad Johnson, Taylor Nogle, and
Keith Potter; Middle: Daniel Wynn, Robert Mullins, and Tyler Brodt; and Bottom: Bridget Bachman and
Naomie Joseph.
