<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nEach year Clemson Students participate in the Clemson 8 fundraiser which sends students from Clemson to represent at the Bataan Memorial Death March located at White Sands Missile Range. The Bataan Memorial Death March is a living memorial dedicated to remembering and honoring the participants and survivors of the Bataan Death March, one of the most notorious war crimes in history. For\u00a0the 2024 Bataan Memorial Death March, Clemson sent two teams: The Clemson Rangers, who rucked the event and the first All female team who ran the marathon. Two individuals, Tyler Ballenger from Army ROTC and Austin Jameson from Air Force, rucked the marathon event as well.<\/p>\n\n\n

Ben Skardon and those who endured. On April 9th, 1942 the imperial Japanese forcibly marched 10,000 U.S. and 60,000 Filipino Troops to POW camps. Only 6 Clemson Alumni survived the march.

One of the most remarkable experiences I had from partaking in both programs was the opportunity to study abroad in Genoa, Italy. Initially, I was told I could not complete my LARC abroad because I needed to be in Clemson to complete my ROTC training physically. However, due to the cooperation of my advisors in both programs, I was eventually presented with the opportunity and ability to study abroad during the Fall semester of my senior year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n In Genoa, I joined the legacy of living in the historic Clemson villa that overlooks the Mediterranean Sea and the Genovezian skyline, where Disney Pixar\u2019s Luca got its inspiration. In the villa, we had classes, did our studio projects, ate meals, socialized, and slept. There, I lived with eighteen other Clemson LARC & Architecture students and our Clemson professor and his family. Our other professors and staff, such as our directors, cook, and housekeeper, were Italian, and they helped us learn the language, culture\/customs, and navigate the cities, which made it a very authentic Italian experience. Genoa is less adapted to English than popular cities like Rome, Milan, and Venice, so learning the culture and language to maneuver and live in the city was essential. Our academics were also engaging because it was with a mixture of graduate and undergraduate students, so we were held to a high standard, and I was able to hone in on landscape architecture, architecture, and engineering content, theory, and practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lastly, one of my favorite things about studying abroad was, of course, the travel. For school, we traveled every Thursday to surrounding Italian cities and experienced two 10-day trips where our entire class ventured further into Italy to examine the sites thoroughly. We also had an independent travel period for fall break, where we could go wherever we wanted! This was one of my highlights because I was able to go to Germany, see my family and reconnect with my roots! I also had the opportunity to head to Troms\u00f8, Norway, to see the Northern Lights; Krakow, Poland, to visit Auschwitz and Birkenau; and Barcelona, Spain, to see our neighboring study abroad program and the sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The semester abroad provided me with an invaluable period of travel, creating and reestablishing connections, and an explosion of creativity and self-discovery. I am forever thankful for the ability to see the world from a non-military perspective before commissioning because it allows me to join the Army with an expanded view of how the world functions with and without the military.

Bond University is Australia\u2019s first private university and is Australia\u2019s top university for student experience. Bond University hosts a diverse international campus hosting a ratio of 60:40 Australian to international students; there were times where I felt like I was meeting more Europeans and other Americans than I was Australians. My International Business class was 60% Norwegian on its own! Going to a school with such a diverse but high quality and like-minded student body provided the opportunity to gain connections and make friends all over the world in a very short amount of time while gaining valuable insight into all the cultures that I was exposed to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With the school being almost 50% international\/ study abroad, everyone was in the same boat by trying to make as many friends as possible since we were all in a new environment. Which led to me making a lot of travel friends. It wasn\u2019t surprising to meet someone one week and then the next week you were planning a trip half way across the country. While in Australia I traveled to Cairns to dive the Great Barrier Reef, Brisbane the capital of Queensland, Byron Bay, Noosa, Sydney, and New Zealand. But I was only able to take part in this program thanks to an Australian Army Officer who spent time at Clemson University, Captain Phillips. Captain Phillips and I became good friends during his time in the states and he invited me to take part in the same program but visit his school and continue my Army training at his old unit. Through this partnership I was able to spend time and train with the 25th\/49th Royal Queens Regiment light infantry Bravo Company. During my time with the 25th\/49th\u00a0 I went on two, three-day training exercises focusing on military operations in urban terrain (MOUT) where for half the time I was with the junior officers practicing our order writing and planning while being graded by more senior officers. Then the other half of the time we were with the soldiers for the capstone exercise of the operation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n My study abroad experience in Australia has been nothing short of transformative, paving the way for valuable lessons that will undoubtedly shape my future career as a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Army. Delving into the intricacies of corporate change models, international marketing, negotiations, and business operations across borders has laid a comprehensive foundation for the challenges inherent in military leadership. The training I received with the 25th\/49th Royal Queens Regiment further enriched my understanding of global perspectives, cultural nuances, and strategic thinking. As I transition into my military career, these collective experiences are poised to significantly enhance my effectiveness in navigating the dynamic and diverse environment of military leadership.

The Clemson Rangers, consisting of: Carter Campell, Giorgio Caporaletti, Colman Scanlan, Luke Scanlan, and Wilson Monroe, came in 2nd in the ROTC Team Heavy division!\u00a0\u00a0The first all-female team from Clemson, Alexa Gubanich, Janna Gubanich, Tate Lewis, Caroline Yell, and Erin Sweeney, came in 1st in the Team Civilian Female Light Division; however, there were no other all-female teams who competed against them. While they paved the way in their division, if placed in the Team ROTC Light Division, they would have finished 3rd against the mostly all-male teams!\u00a0 As for the two individual ROTC members who competed, Tyler Ballenger came in 2nd, and Austin Jameson came in 12th in the ROTC Individual Heavy Division.<\/p>\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blogs.clemson.edu\/tigerbattalion\/files\/2024\/04\/unnamed-3-1.jpg\")

<\/a>I was able to learn new material from other Cadets from various programs and I was able to make new relationships that\u2019ll hopefully carry over into my military career.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/a>because it allowed me to put to use the skills that my instructors, friends, and mentors have taught me over these last 3 years. My Cadre did an excellent job of creating a stress-inducing environment that revealed everyone\u2019s strengths and weaknesses. The environment they created allowed us to be self-aware in areas that we can improve. As leaders, self-awareness is critical to our professional development and performance as future Officers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/a>What advice would you give to cadets going to CST next year?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/a>project,\u00a0the 4th BDE Army ROTC Commander COL Hill and CSM Spal presented Kat Keppler with a coin.
