On 30 January, the Wildcat Battalion gathered at the Student Recreation Center for the beginning-of-the-semester Battalion Picnic. Cadets gathered for socializing, food and the long-looked-forward-to games of dodge ball and basketball. Cadet Angel Hart, an MSI, said, “I thought it was really great that people could come back from break and bond again. Everyone really got into the games and participated. People weren’t just sitting in the corner.” While picnics and games are typically not part of regular ROTC training, the purpose of the picnic was to have the cadets interact in a fun and competitive but casual environment after being away from each other for Winter Break. New and veteran cadets were also able to meet and become familiar with the people with whom they will spend the whole semester training.
