Cadets Partner with Citadel for Military Skills Competition
LEXINGTON, Va., Apr. 21, 2022鈥擳he 小妲己直播 Institute Army ROTC Blue Ridge Battalion partnered with the Citadel's Palmetto Battalion to create a military skills competition between the two ROTC organizations.
This past weekend, eight cadets from VMI, two from each class, traveled to Charleston and competed against the Citadel鈥檚 team. A series of challenging events and exercises, the competition was designed to foster camaraderie and showcase the best of each institution.
The Citadel鈥檚 team claimed the victory at the weekend鈥檚 event, but the VMI team looks forward to hosting round two in November, the weekend of the "Military Classic of the South" football game, to claim revenge.
鈥淏eing able to lay the foundation for an event that will be happening in conjunction with the VMI versus Citadel football game every year was an honor,鈥 said Jonathan Nardi 鈥22, cadet in charge of the event. 鈥淚 can't wait to see how it will evolve and continue in the future. Thank you to all the Army cadre that made the weekend possible!鈥
