SISLER'S RAIDERS

This club is open to any student enrolled in one of our military science classes. It honors 1LT George Keaton (Ken) Sisler commissioned as a Military Intelligence officer. He served a tour of duty with Special Forces in Vietnam, where he received our nation's highest award for valor: the Congressional Metal of Honor. He can be viewed in the Hall of Heroes page on this website. Students that normally participate in this group are usually involved in preparation for the annual Ranger Challenge. This team competes on events that include a Physical Fitness Test, one-rope bridge, M16 marksmanship, obstacle course patrolling, day land navigation, and a 10 kilometer run with 35 pounds of combat gear.

PARTICIPATION: This team meets 2-3 times weekly throughout the year. Participants are required to do PT 5 days a week and is mentored by an assistant professor. They also participate in fund raisers, various athletic competitions and encourage other cadets to increase their APFT scores. This team usually functions on its own but still falls under the cadet battalion commander's authority.

TIME COMMITMENT: The time required to participate in this group will encompass some morning and late afternoon workouts. There are no weekend workouts unless determined by the group leader. Fund raising is a part of this team which includes paintball, marathons, and various sporting events.
