August 25th marked the official beginning of the new school year for the Red Storm Battalion with the Freshman Move In Day. With 5,000 new students, this is the
largest Freshman class St. John's has achieved.
The Red Storm Battalion senior, fresh back from their Leadership Development Advance Camp at Ft. Lewis, Washington planned and executed the battalion's operation to assist all the new Freshmen in getting setteled into their new homes on the Queen's campus. More than 65 of our cadets cut their summer break short to come in and assist the efforts on this beautiful Saturday
afternoon and the operation was followed up with a barbeque to welcome back all our cadets from their summer breaks, recognize their numerous achievements, and welcome all our new students into the battalion.
The recogntions included 11 seniors completing the 6 week Leadership Development Advance Camp, 6 Juniors completing the 4 week Leadership Training Course at Ft. 
Knox, KY, 2 cadets completing airborne training at Ft. Benning, 5 cadets completing Air Assault School, 1 senior returning from the Nurse Summer Training Program at Tripler Army Hospital in Hawaii, 1 Senior completing an Arm Medical internship at Landstuhl Army Medical Center in Germany, and mostly 12 new 4 year schoarship winners being welcomed to the Red Storm Battalion.
A great kick-off to the new year.
