UAB Army ROTC

Yesterday, the Blazer Battalion was honored to host an Oath Ceremony for 18 cadets that have worked so hard to contract. They have shown this program that they have what it takes to be future Army leaders. We were also honored to have retired LTC Hayes come and speak to them before swearing them in. Congratulations to these cadets! *masks were worn except for pictures*

“The soldier is the Army. No Army is better than its soldiers. The soldier is also a citizen. In fact, the highest obligation and privilege of citizenship is that of bearing arms for one’s country.” – George S Patton
The Blazer Battalion has produced two new Second Lieutenants: 2LT Reyes and 2LT Grey! 2LT Reyes will be continuing his career in the US Army as a Signal Corps officer and 2LT Grey will be a Chemical Corps officer! Both will go on to lead soldiers and do amazing things in their respective fields.

Super great turn out at our Batallion’s first day of PT for the semester! Lead by Cdt CSM Mattingly.
