NROTC Bingo
On Friday afternoon I will distribute NROTC-customized bingo cards that will jog your memories, spark sea stories and break the ice throughout the weekend. Spouses and children are welcome to play. Similar to Bingo, the game is played by finding someone who fits the description in the block and asking them to initial it off (just like PQS). A card is complete when 5 blocks in a row (horizontal, vertical or diagonal) have been initialed by a former UR NROTC or the spouse. (A sample card is pictured below.)
Each year the UR NROTC unit sends teams to Cornell and Villanova to participate in Military Excellence Competitions (MEC) that demonstrate performance in platoon drill, trick drill, color guard, swimming, 10K, ironman etc. A registration fee is required to compete but cannot be paid from the Commanding Officer's budget. The midshipmen normally raise funds through activities such as the Ship's Store (which you will see on Friday afternoon) and then cover any remaining fees out of pocket.
A donation of $20 is suggested for 3 NROTC Bingo cards. Completed cards will be entered in a drawing for prizes to be held at the All Hands Dinner.
