Military Training
Cadets in the Military Science Program recently
used the nine-story Humanities-Social Science Building to practice
rappelling. Picture at left is Cadet John Busuego, a senior biological
science major, as he prepares to go down the side of the building.
In the middle photo Cathy Aboy, from UC Riverside, checks her lines,
while at right, another cadet is about to complete the exercise.
Rappelling, in addition to rifle marksmanship,
map reading/land navigation and field training are part of several
competitions cadets take part in as members of the Reserve Officers
Training Corps. When they complete the ROTC program, cadets are
commissioned as second lieutenants in the U.S. Army, U.S. Army Reserves
or Army National Guard.
