"Keep your boots on, love better and forgive more.” —Jefferson Burton
(TOP) Utah State University ROTC cadets participate in Field Training Exercise (FTX) and work through infantry tactics twice a year during a two-day event at Camp Williams. This helps them develop confidence in their leadership and basic fundamentals of tactical operations.

Although they are just big rafts, the need to row as a team helps upper classmen hone their leadership skills through clear communication and build the trust and confidence of those that they will lead. (CENTER) Another plus, the program has its own ice cream flavor created just for them: the mixture of raspberries, Oreo-style cookies, toffee pieces and chocolate is a palate pleaser. “ROTC” is on sale at the Aggie Creamery. courtesy of usu department of military science
