1. The annual ROTC Corps picnic is scheduled for TBD. It will begin at 1700hrs (5:00 PM) and end at Approx 1830hrs (6:30 PM). It will be held here at the school.

2. The picnic is a mandatory event for cadets. Its purpose is to allow cadets and families to get to know one another while having a good time. If there is a valid reason a cadet cannot attend, he or she must inform MAJ Buckner ahead of time. Demerits and lower grades will be given to those with unexcused absences.
3. All cadets will participate in the battalion formation which will be the first event to take place. Introductions will be made at that time and cadet officers will take the officer's oath. After the ceremony, cadets will be free to leave or they may stay until approx 6:30 PM to hang out and visit.
