Please send a brief description/bio of the individual being nominated along with any significant civilian or military accomplishments to [email protected].

What rolls down stairs, alone or in pairs
Rolls over your neighbor's dog?
What's great for a snack and fits on your back?
It's Log, Log, Log!

It's Log, Log
It's big, it's heavy, it's wood
It's Log, Log
It's better than bad, it's good

Everyone wants a Log
You're gonna love it, Log
Come on and get your Log
Everyone needs a Log (Everyone wants a Log)
You're gonna love it, Log

Over the past 8 weeks we had the opportunity to help train the Men's Soccer team through various teamwork, leadership & fitness challenges. We look forward to watching compete this spring.

After 6+ years in various roles in the Badger Battalion, today we farewell Mr. Ben Pankow. Ben began his time with the Badger Battalion as an US Army Reserve Instructor in 2019. In early 2025 Mr. Pankow became a Full-Time Contractor and transitioned to the National Guard. Unfortunately, his contractor position was moved to a different school at the beginning of the semester. We wish Ben the best and thank him for his many years of service to our ROTC Program.

On Fridays our Cadre and MSIV's host a series of tactical based classes for any Cadet that wishes to work on some of their skills. This week SFC Castillo continued his basic rifle marksmanship series with our smokeless range and Cadet Bartle worked with some MSIII's on Operations Orders.

Last night the Badger Battalion Cadre got together to farewell Master Sergeant De La Cruz. After 3 years as the Senior Military Instructor, MSG De La Cruz will head back to the operational Army. Congrats & thanks for everything over the past 3 years.

The Badger Battalion conducted a Dining-In and presented our MSIV's with their branches.
