Patriot Day Joint Run

• Inaugurated in 2015, the annual Joint Run is conducted on Patriot Day, September 11th, to honor the memory of the victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001.  
• The unit responsible for organizing and leading the Patriot Day Joint Run is rotated each year between the Army, Naval and Air Force ROTC units.
• This is the only time during the year that the three ROTC units gather together for morning Physical Training (PT).
• The three units assemble in the USF Track & Field Stadium.  An invited guest will typically speak a few words about service and a moment of silence is observed.  A representative from each unit will then lead the Joint formation in warm-up exercises.  After the warm-ups, the units run a two mile circuit in formation complete with the students calling military cadence, or "jodies", while students bearing their unit guidons run around the formation for motivation and service pride.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Annual Commanders' Cup

• The goal is to promote friendly inter-service competition and service pride while developing a strong spirit of camaraderie between the service ROTC programs at USF.

ROTC Living Learning Community (LLC)

• Started in 2011 and is truly "joint" with students of the Army, Naval and Air Force ROTC as residents.
• Provides a built in network of peer support that encourages excellence and develops a "joint" mindset that values the unique cultures of each military service (Army, Marines, Navy and Air Force) while pursuing a common goal - a commission in the armed forces of the United States.
