It's hard being hard! While most college students were sleeping-in Friday morning; 35 CSU Army ROTC Cadets, represented by every MS level, were competing to earn the Norwegian Foot March, or Marsjmerket, a Norwegian armed forces skill badge that is earned. Participants had to complete, in uniform with boots, an 18.6 mile (30 kilometers) ruck march within 4 hours and 30 minutes while carrying a 25-pound (11 kilograms) rucksack. Awesome turn-out and effort!!

There is something incredibly empowering about knowing you can find your way no matter what the terrain⛰ throws at you. Last week, Cougar Battalion navigated our way through the crawl, walk, and run phases day and night land navigation skills. Thursday’s Lab was spent going through practical exercises, refreshing some minds, and teaching new skills to others. Friday, we hit boots to the ground on Fort Moore, running our super lab giving all MS levels an opportunity to train. We got to see extraordinary improvements and true perseverance. Nobody has it better than us.

"Columbus State University ROTC Cadets are proud to embody the values of scholars, athletes, and leaders while positively impacting our community. This weekend, we joined forces with the CSU Student Veteran Association to collaborate with the nonprofit organization House of Heros. Together, we dedicated our time and efforts to enhance the living conditions of a well-deserving Veteran in the Fort Moore community who required support in maintaining his home.

Our commitment to service extends beyond the classroom and training environment, and it's our privilege to honor those who paved the way for us. By working together, we are truly making a difference in the lives of our veterans.
