EWU ROTC Cadre Member Recognized as the Cadet Command Human Resource Assistant of the Year

The Eastern Washington University (EWU) Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) program was recently notified that our Human Resource Assistant (HRA), Ms. Linda Moody was selected as the U.S. Army Cadet Command HRA of the Year.  This is a well deserved recognition for Ms. Moody who has been instrumental to the success of the EWU ROTC “Fighting Eagles” battalion.


For example the ability of our Cadets to receive their first branch choice well ahead of Cadet Command averages and the high number of Cadets who received internships is to Ms. Moody’s diligence.  Ms. Moody besides being busy with her own HRA responsibilities also served double duty as the unit supply technician for the past year while the position was vacant.  She even served in a third position as our Unit Prevention Leader (UPL) in charge of administering our unit drug testing programing.  If that wasn’t enough she also spent the summer at Ft. Knox, Kentucky conducting both administrative and supply duties in support of Cadet Command’s premier Cadet training event, Advanced Camp.

Ms. Moody joins Sergeant First Class Jason Hennig, who was the Cadet Command Instructor of Year, as one of our two Cadet Command annual award winners for this academic year.  The EWU ROTC battalion was the only university, out of Cadet Command’s 274 ROTC programs across the country, to be recognized with two annual award winners.

Congratulations to Ms. Moody for this well deserved and prestigious accomplishment.

Go ROTC!  Go Fighting Eags!

Eastern Washington University Military Science Department Recognized as Team of the Year

This past month featured Finals Week for the students followed by the Eastern Washington University (EWU) graduation.  It was also time for end of the academic year awards for the various colleges within the university.  One of the awards being given by the College of Social Sciences (CSS) was the Team Excellence Award.  This year the award went to the EWU Military Science Department that operates the university’s U.S. Army Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) program.  Over the past year the ROTC program known as the “Fighting Eagles” battalion has trained up to 100 Cadets and commissioned 12 of them as Second Lieutenants into the U.S. Army.  The ROTC battalion also hosted the first ever German Armed Forces Proficiency Badge (GAFPB) competition on the Eastern campus, executed a number of volunteer events in the community, and their Cadets received ratings above the Cadet Command average at the ROTC Advanced Camp.

The Military Science Department also had personnel receive prestigious individual recognition over the past year.  Sergeant First Class Jason Hennig was recognized as the Cadet Command Instructor of the Year and the Spokane Armed Forces Person of the Year, and Ms. Linda Moody was recognized as the Cadet Command Human Resources Administrator of the Year.  The EWU Military Science Department was the only university in the nation to win two Cadet Command annual awards.  Cadets in the program also won personal recognition, with one winning a EWU Student Leader Excellence Award and the other receiving the City of Cheney Award for their volunteer service.  Another Cadet was awarded the prestigious Chertok Scholarship from the College of Social Sciences this year.

Thank you to the College of Social Sciences for recognizing the Military Science Department with this award.

Eastern Washington University ROTC Cadet Awarded the Prestigious Chertok Memorial Scholarship

It is university award season and for one Eastern Washington University (EWU) Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) Cadet, his outstanding performance was recognized by being selected for the Jeffers Chertok Memorial Scholarship. The Chertok Scholarship is given to deserving College of Social Science (CSS) students between their Junior and Senior years of college.  Cadet Chad Triplett was one of two CSS students selected for the scholarship this year that provides funding towards his senior year college tuition.


The scholarship was created to honor the life of Professor Jeffers W. Chertok, PhD, who worked at EWU for more than 34 years.  He was well known on campus for his scholarship, generosity and passion for Eastern.  Dr. Chertok passed away in 2004, but his legacy towards EWU continues with this scholarship.

Cadet Chad Triplett (right) is pictured with Dr. Jonathan Anderson the Dean of the College of Social Sciences after being recognized as one of the two recipients of the Jeffers Chertok Memorial Scholarship.


Chad Triplett is definitely a CSS student that Dr. Chertok would be proud of.  Chad is a Criminal Justice major who has maintained a high GPA, scored a perfect 300 on his Army Physical Fitness Test, was part of the university’s Ranger Challenge team, was awarded a Gold German Armed Forces Proficiency Badge, and active in volunteer activities in the community.

Cadet Chad Triplett


In addition to his college activities, this summer Cadet Triplett is attending ROTC Advanced Camp at Ft. Knox, Kentucky which is Cadet Command’s premier training event.  Following Advanced Camp Cadet Triplett will then be heading off to Ft. Benning, Georgia to attend the U.S. Army’s Airborne School where he will train to be a paratrooper.  Congratulations to Cadet Triplett and thank you to the College of Social Sciences for selecting Chad as a recipient of the prestigious Jeffers Chertok Memorial Scholarship.
