On April 25, the Badger Battalion gathered for our annual Spring Ball, celebrating a year of leadership, service, and camaraderie. We extend our sincere thanks to our guest of honor, Col. John Hall, U.S. Army (Ret.), for attending and sharing his perspective with our midshipmen, and to the Wisconsin Naval ROTC Alumni Association for their continued support. It was a memorable night of tradition, reflection, and a reminder that the battalion can hold its own on the dance floor.
