UW Army ROTC

Throwback to past FTXs as we gear up for the next one in just two weeks. Dialing in land navigation, pushing through the O-course, and sharpening warrior skills as we prepare to train, lead, and execute.

Coming from a military family, CDT Barringer has spent much of his life moving across states and countries—from Washington to South Korea—before eventually calling Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi home. He credits his parents and four younger siblings as the primary influences behind his decision to return to Washington and join the program. He joined the UW ROTC to push beyond his limits, develop his voice as a leader, and explore the opportunities the military can provide. Outside of the program, he enjoys running, experimenting with new recipes through cooking and baking, and discovering all that Washington has to offer.
Intending to major in Environmental Science, he connects with the world around him through hiking, skiing, and actively seeking opportunities to advocate for others on important environmental and social issues.
As an athlete, he has spent much of his life participating in sports such as track and field and cross country. He is also deeply involved with the UW Speech and Debate team, where he continues to develop his public speaking and argumentative skills and has achieved notable success in recent tournaments across the Pacific Northwest.
