Last week was a busy week for the Fighting Illini battalion!

Over the course of the previous week, our cadets were rewarded for their excellent efforts during the Tri-Service Awards Ceremony, our MSIII’s participated in their final super lab: conducting weapons training, and finally our MSI’s completed the Hazelton competition! Great Work Cadets!

Last week, our MS4s travelled to Fort Donelson National Battlefield in Tennessee for their Staff Ride, learning about the history and decisions that shaped the Civil War. From analyzing key terrain to discussing command decisions, cadets connected classroom concepts to real-world lessons!

Congratulations to our Cadet of the Month for March: Cadet Daily! CDT Daily is an MS3 in Mechanical Engineering. He decided to join ROTC to develop leadership and real-world professional skills. Outside of school and training, CDT Daily likes lifting heavy, good movies, and playing guitar.

Introducing our Cadet of the Month, CDT Kirchen! Cadet Kirchen is a MS3 studying sociology. He joined rotc because he wanted to serve our country while still being able to get a degree at Illinois. Outside of ROTC, he is involved with his social fraternity as well as being apart of the Student Alumni Ambassadors. In his free time, he enjoys golfing, watching Illinois basketball, and hanging out with his friends.

Our battalion is looking forward to an exciting semester of training, leadership development, and other fun plans!

Last night, the Fighting Illini Battalion held an NFL-style Branch Night draft filled with walk-up songs, lighthearted roasts, and a ton of laughs. Our seniors took the stage and opened their envelopes to reveal where they’ll begin their Army careers — and all 25 earned their component and their #1 or #2 branch choice.

An incredible night for an incredible class. The Army is gaining outstanding leaders, and Illini Nation is proud of every one of them. 🧡💙🏈🇺🇸 -L-L
