The Leadership Lab is an opportunity once a week for the cadets to implement and build on the leadership skills learned in the classroom. Leadership Lab activities include land navigation, infantry battle tactics, marksmanship and water survival training.
We highly encourage a healthy lifestyle that incorporates a regular fitness program. Our physical training (PT) consists of running, playing sports, lifting weights, doing obstacle courses, etc. All contracted Cadets are required to participate in PT three days a week from 0600-0700.
Ranger Challenge consists of competition between teams from each ROTC detachment at various colleges and universities. Eleven cadet teams compete in a rigorous two-day competition consisting of eight events. Events may include the Army Physical Fitness Test, a written patrolling exam, basic rifle marksmanship, orienteering, a hand grenade assault course, weapons assembly, the construction of a one-rope bridge and the 6.2-mile road march in full combat gear.
All it takes Is three weeks at Fort Benning, a couple gallons of sweat, a few thousand falls and five little steps out of an aircraft 1,200 feet up, and you will earn the coveted wings of the U.S. Army Paratrooper. Cadets have the opportunity to compete for a slot to the U.S. Airborne School at Fort Benning, Georgia.
Cadets may compete for a slot in Air Assault School held at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. During this 10-day course, you will master rappelling, rigging helicopter sling loads and a monster obstacle course. In addition, you'll learn how to guide aircraft and set up landing zones. After 10 days, the only thing standing between you and your Air Assault wings will be a 12-mile road march with 35 pounds on your back.
Cadets may have the option of attending Cadet Troop Leadership Training. CTLT involves following a second lieutenant in an active-duty or reserve unit for a number of weeks. Cadets are exposed to the daily life of a platoon leader and are given responsibilities that they will encounter upon commissioning.
Cadets may choose to honor our nation when they serve as members of various color guards that represent our nation, the Army and Wofford.
Outside of ROTC, cadets can take advantage of the full range of extracurricular activities and events offered at Wofford.
