The Appalachian State Mountaineer Battalion gathered Friday night at the Broyhill Inn for an evening celebrating the commissioning seniors and another great year completed by the ROTC cadets.  Along with the ROTC cadets and cadre, family and special guests attended such as the Military Officers Association of America.  The guest speaker (pictured) was CPT Brian Grimsley, the older brother of one of our senior cadets Joshua Grimsley. 

The senior cadets were recognized at the end of the night. They stood before the mess and were pinned with their branch insignia on their uniforms by their chosen loved ones.  Eight cadets will be graduating this May, nine in August, and three in December.
