Proud moment for BU ROTC!!

On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, BU ROTC had the honor of presenting the colors at the Boston Celtics game. Cadets Emma Shevory, Miranda Medlen-Ursell, Kalen Mogil, Milanya Gordiyenko, and Mira Fujii participated in the event, with Mira Fujii leading the color guard. Reflecting on the experience, Fujii shared that it was an honor for the color guard to present the colors during the Celtics’ Martin Luther King Jr. Day recognition game.

It was an unforgettable experience and a meaningful opportunity for BU ROTC to take part in honoring such an important day.

This past Saturday, our MS3s participated in a retrain day focused on sharpening their tactical skills through small-group, hands-on instruction. Cadets rotated through focused classes on OPORDs, TMKs, ORPs, MED planning, Call for Fire, and conducting a Leader’s Recon. Working in tight groups allowed them to receive close, personalized guidance from the MS4s, who provided one-on-one coaching and answered detailed questions.

Throughout the day, Cadets were able to practice each skill through practical exercises and short assessments, helping reinforce their proficiency and build confidence ahead of future training. Despite the cold and rainy weather, morale stayed high, thanks to hot chocolate and homemade pasta that kept everyone warm and motivated.

Overall, it was a productive and engaging training day that strengthened our MS3s’ readiness for camp!
