The Aviator Adventure Van provides interested students the opportunity to learn about the various opportunities available within the US Army Aviation Branch. The highly interactive platform allows participants to pilot an AH-60 Apache, a Predator Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, and an OH-58 Kiowa Helicopter, all while learning about the Aviation field as well as other opportunities within the Army and ROTC. The turnout for College Blitz has been extremely high despite the weather. Cowboy Battalion Cadets spent the week handing out flyers around campus, and the central location has been a popular stop for passers-by. Recruiters said that participation at Oklahoma State has been better than at previous stops, including the University of Miami.

Army and Air Force ROTC Cadets Work Together To Help Disabled Veterans By CDT Stanley Sutton
Forty-two disabled military veterans came to OSU this month to learn how to be better entrepreneurs, and OSU Army and Air Force cadets came together to lend a helping hand. The program, in its second year, allows veterans to visit OSU for a week to receive training in how to run a business and how to make that business profitable. With help from the OSU Business College, the V.E.P. program selects veterans based on degree of disability, distinguishments, feasibility and creative business ideas, said Charlene Ripley, one of the programs coordinators. These veterans dont have to be Oklahomans either. The program covers cost of transportation to Stillwater and housing at the Atherton hotel in addition to educational fees, such as books and instructor fees. To help facilitate the weeklong event, 25 Air Force ROTC cadets and 25 Army ROTC cadets volunteered to help do various tasks, such as carrying luggage to eating with the veterans at off-campus restaurants like Eskimo Joes and the Ranchers club. There were so many volunteers that showed up at the introductory meeting last month that some cadets were told their names had been crossed off the volunteer list. In return for their time, cadets were given free tickets for the Missouri-OSU mens basketball game on February 2nd. CPT Campbell appreciated the amount of cadets that were able to volunteer.

The Cowboy Battalion has just launched the new mentorship program TRIBES. Every cadet in the battalion is assigned to one of six tribes, led by a MSIV cadet and his cadre mentor. Tribe members have already started getting to know each other with Facebook groups and pizza parties. If you havent yet, make sure you talk to the cadet at the top of your column to find out what your tribe has planned for the rest of the semester.
