Duke University's Army ROTC

Army ROTC teaches students how to lead, solve problems, and provides opportunities for them to earn a
commission as an Army Second Lieutenant. The Army ROTC Program at Duke University offers numerous
and varied opportunities for scholarships, leadership training, and financial incentives. Scholarship
opportunities are available for high school seniors through graduate students. Active duty soldiers
can pursue scholarship opportunities through the Green to Gold Program. Army Reserve and
National Guard soldiers also can obtain Army ROTC scholarships through the
Guaranteed Reserve Forces Duty (GRFD) Program.

A warm hello to all family, friends, alumni, and current-serving members of the Army. The Duke and NCCU ROTC Battalion sends its best to you and your families. The 2008-2009 academic year is off to a great start with the largest Duke and NCCU enrollment in recent years. We have 45 contracted and participating students in the program. This past summer we had 7 Duke freshmen enter with 6 ready to contract. Our seniors set a fantastic example for all 18 schools in the Brigade. Four of our eight LDAC attendees earned the coveted Recondo badge and 2 were in the top 5% of their platoons. Three of the eight received excellent ratings during LDAC, and our PT, Land Navigation, and BRM were among the top in the Brigade. Most recently, we were very pleased to find out that three of our seven graduating seniors this year earned Distinguished Military Graduate Honors, with another senior waiting on acceptance to medical school. The Cadre continues to grow – LTC Mark Tribus (OEF 5) and MSG Scott Pelletier (OIF 5) completed their first year as PMS and SMI respectively. MAJ Megan Mangan returns to the teamfrom her second tour in Iraq this JAN 09. SFC Stephen Spivey (OIF 5) and his wife, Susan, joined our team this past summer. CPT Noah Hanners (OIF 1 and 3) joins us as the latest APMS. 1LT Jeff Pate also joined our team this past summer as a permanent APMS. MAJ Gary Hill departs the team after 3 fantastic years of service at Duke and NCCU, retiring this DEC. We are fortunate to have 2LT Ryan Grace as our latest GBR, graduating from Duke this past May 08. Ms. Nancy Bateman continues to keep us all in line after 32 years of service at Duke. Ms. Thelma Keith is still the “field marshal” after 8 years of service in the ROTC program. Ms. Linda Polson is our ever-vigilant supply tech, bringing 3 solid years of service to our team. We wish to express our sincere gratitude for the fantastic support and generosity provided to our team this past year. The cadets raised over $12K due to your contributions and their selfless service to the community. We look forward to the continued growth of our program, with a laser focus on providing the Army with the best commissioned officers. Warm regards, LTC Tribus.
