Contact your ROTC Instructor

Sergeant First Class Ben Carter

teaches both sections of our MSL 1010 class. You can contact him at: benjamin.carter@wmich.edu. His phone number is 269-387-8127. He will be at camp at Fort Lewis, WA from 13 Jun - 25 Jul so he won't be able to respond during that time.

The Bronco Battalion conducts activities in conjunction with WMU's Fall Welcome. Cadets move into the residence halls early, have a BBQ with current cadets, cadre and family, get issued all kinds of cool Army equipment, rappel and a number of other informative and fun activities.

All Army ROTC Cadets (Cadet is defined as anyone enrolled in Military Science class MSL1010) get to move into the residence halls on Monday morning, regardless of which residence hall you are assigned, what other programs you may be involved in or what your last name starts with. Current cadets will be available to help you move in. Look for them and ask for their assistance.

We will be mailing you an information packet towards the end of July. This packet will have some forms for you to fill out, including a sizing chart so we can have your uniforms ready for you when you get here for Fall Welcome. If you have a medical exam (physical) within the last year, be sure to send us a copy. Otherwise you will be sent to get a medical exam (at our expense) on Tuesday.

If you are in multiple programs here at WMU, we have conducted coordination with those programs so that you will know where you need to be during Fall Welcome.

Don't forget that you now have a WMU student email account. Check it regularly during the summer. That is where WMU will send all important information.
