It was that time of year again, and our cadets knocked it out of the ballpark! This year for FTX, our CST-Bound cadets with cadets from other battalions applied what they’ve been learning in the classroom out in the field: Battle Drills, Land Navigation, Lanes, and more. Thank you to our Cadre and our MS4’s who helped pull it all together.
Here are some highlights from this weekend; more will come throughout the week. Fire on🔥

Good Afternoon!

We hope you all had an amazing Easter Sunday with family and friends. Here are some highlights of our family at the Military Ball on April 9th.

➖Fire BN Nominee for George C. Marshall Award: Paulina Kulyavstev!!!➖

Pictured: CDT Kuly and Brigadier General Rodney C. Boyd of the Illinois National Guard

School: Illinois Institute of Technology//University of Illinois Chicago
Academic Major: Physics, Candidate for Bachelor of Science
CDT Kulyavstev, as of now, oversees and helps manage SERVE, Tactics Team, and Cadet Advisory Council, as well as works closely with the S3 and rest of the Top 5 to plan and execute BN training as the Operations SGM. She also works with entities outside the BN, such as other schools and commercial companies, to connect the program with the local community.
She has mentioned that our program has shown her mentorship in many forms, from the guidance and lessons she learns from cadre to the complexity of peer-to-peer leadership, to nourishing the underclassmen to become better cadets and Soldiers. Her favorite moments have been the times she pushed past her expected limits and found that potential and possibilities are only as limited as her imagination makes them be. She cherishes the strong friendships formed through the ROTC program and that she has many friends who she also looks up to for outstanding leadership.

CDT Kulyavstev Comments on the Virtual GCM Event last week: “The GCM Event was an incredible experience. I appreciated that so many people came together to make it possible, and I feel lucky that I got to hear from so many General Officers who have the big picture view on what the Army is both from their experience and their expertise. It was especially moving to hear from female and minority leaders, and to see such inspiring women share their advice as to how to become better leaders.”

CDT Kulyavstev will be commissioned into Illinois National Guard Engineer Branch in May.She hopes to go to Sapper School, Grad School, and partner her military experience with research in Quantum Devices in the Department of Energy.

We are extremely proud to not only have her in our program but that others have noticed her amazing work as well. Fire on 🔥

➖Northern Warfare Day 1➖

Who completed the “toughest challenge in ROTC”? Our amazing Northern Warfare Challenge team who got 18/38 teams!🔥 Fire Battalion is proud of their hard work, so this week we will be posting highlights from this past weekend! 💪🏽

What is the Northern Warfare Competition? : It is a written and skills tests on operating in colder climes (knots, fire making, TCCC, and rappel). The second day the course held a 16 mi trail ruck that included 3mi SKEDCO drag and ended with a rappel (only the first 20 teams to finish got to rappel, so we didn't get that chance this year). It was an ambient -2 degrees with a windchill, making it feel like -17—snow on the ground and some fresh precipitation during the skills test. ❄ Rumor has it next year's will include marksmanship! It's a pretty cool opportunity for Cadets to compete in up near Fort McCoy, WI. Cadets that went up were CDT Sun, CDT Morales, CDT Suarez, CDT Dela Rosa, CDT Glazener, and CDT Jaffe (5 competitors and 1 alternate)

➖Happy Veteran’s Day!➖
Less than one percent of Americans raise their right hand and swear an oath to defend our country with their lives. Today, we commemorate and pay tribute to those honored few Americans who have sacrificed so much to support and protect our way of life.
Many veterans do not stop serving upon retiring from the military. They continue to serve their communities and our country in many ways. Veterans work as teachers in our schools, first responders at our local precincts and firehouses, and doctors in our hospitals. Anyone who knows a veteran knows well of the impact and the value they bring to our lives. For this, and for their sacrifices to our nation, they deserve our unwavering gratitude.

While today is set aside to dedicate to our veterans, I want to encourage all of us as soldiers and leaders to keep the veterans in our hearts and minds every day. And to look to them as examples and the brave men and women who came before us. Thank the veterans in your life and the veterans you see in your communities. Additionally, remember the families of the veterans and service members, for they also make certain sacrifices in support of their children, grandchildren, spouses, siblings, and parents in their times of service.
