The Wabash Battalion held a promotion ceremony for SFC Goodwin to Master Sergeant (MSG) today. MSG Goodwin also received his rudis as a thank you from the Cadets and Cadre and earning himself his "freedom" from the battalion. We would like to thank him for being an amazing Cadre member and for all that he has done for our program. He has made such a positive impact on the Cadets and he will be missed. We wish him the best of luck on his future adventures.

Please consider supporting the Cadets of the Wabash Battalion with their challenge at this year's Rose Day of Giving! Our alumnus Mr. Randy Potts ('71) graciously donated $5,000 so that we could have a challenge this year.

All funds raised will go towards the Cadets of the Wabash Battalion to fund various events such as the dining-in, staff ride, and military ball. These events help to prepare our cadets to enter into the Army as officers who know and understand the history and importance behind many of the Army's customs, courtesies, and traditions.

When you go to make a donation under Mr. Randy Pott's challenge, please select "ROTC" under "Support Area".
