Commissioned officers are responsible for completing demanding missions while ensuring the welfare, morale, and professional development of the Soldiers entrusted to them. Commissioned officers begin their Army service as young leaders, providing a blend of valuable skills and knowledge. With their self-discipline, motivation, confidence, and judgment, they use problem solving skills to determine solutions and accomplish the mission. Having the strength to inspire courage in others is the hallmark of an Army commissioned officer.

While Army ROTC prepared her to do the many tasks of an Army Officer, Payton may have prepared her to deal with Privates. 6th BDE Army ROTC

When it’s time to do PT, the excuses start flying... Here at NSU Army ROTC, Cadets are required to attend the PT class 3 days/week (4 days/week if contracted). The 4th day is used for foot marches, which prepares Cadets for the 12 miler required to complete the ROTC Advanced Course. #WeCommission #ArmyROTC #JROTC @nsula @6thbrigaderotcusacc #MemeMonday
Alumni & current Cadets, feel free to chime in with some of the reasons u didn’t come to PT, or “heard” 😂😂😂others didn’t come to PT. Keep the comments within the guidelines of the page though please. Thanks in advance!

While doing some recruiting at the La Sports Hall of Fame Bowling with the Celebrities today, we had the opportunity to present “The Mad Hatter” Mr. Les Miles with a challenge coin on behalf of the NSU ROTC Program. #WeCommission #AlwaysRecruiting Northwestern State University #ArmyROTC #ForkEmDemons 6th BDE Army ROTC 🤘🏾😈
During the past couple days 200+ JROTC Cadets from over 20 schools across Louisiana came to visit the program during their JCLC at Camp Beauregard. Unfortunately there was plenty rain that kept us from doing what they really wanted to do, but we made it work. They had the chance to hear about scholarship opportunities & even received an intro to a couple different military aspects. #WeCommission #ForkEm #ArmyROTC #JROTC #JCLC
& that’s when Mr. McDowell starts to get the side eye... Cadets are required to participate in 3 classes during the semester (Class, Lab, & PT). Class times vary based on academic level, & PT & Lab times remain the same each semester. If anyone has any questions about participating in the Army ROTC classes (with no obligation), please contact us nsurotc@nsula.edu or send us a PM. #WeCommission #LearnToLead #MemeMonday #ArmyROTC
Congrats to Ms. Makayla Nash on making the decision to join Army ROTC! Looking forward to seeing her in the Fall! 🤘🏾😈 #WeCommission #ArmyROTC @nsula @nsula_fye @6thbrigaderotcusacc @armyrotc
