This picture dated 1999, shows EWU ROTC Cadets holding a plaque for finishing first place in the Ranger Challenge competition against other ROTC programs in the region. Do any alumni remember taking this picture?

I remember that well. That’s me… back row, second from the left.

Michael, thanks for commenting. Do you remember which teams competed in Ranger Challenge back then?
Not 100% sure but I think Gonzaga, WSU, Idaho, Montana, Montana State, and a few other schools. I think EWU had three teams that competed that year, two all Male teams and our mixed team.
I remember that year, wow 20 years. I am front row far right.
I think Mike is right on the other schools that competed that year.

Wow! What a flashback. I’m in back on the far left.
Michael, EWU ROTC still competes against those same schools for Ranger Challenge, but also UC-Davis, Univ. California, Boise St., and Nevada Reno. All the teams now are co-ed as well.
Ha – Funny to see this one. I am front row, far left.
