Forge) and during U.S. Military Academy Branch Week—and we will take advantage of those opportunities—but they
are not enough. During Warrior Forge, cadets choose the branches they wish to consider. If they have not been properly
informed, they may not consider the Chemical Branch and we may not get a chance to discuss available opportunities. We
are sending letters and e-mails to these cadets and encouraging recent Basic Offcer Leadership Course graduates to return
to their campuses to interact with the cadets. We also challenge members of the Corps who are out in the feld to engage
their alma maters and local ROTC populations to help spread the word. ROTC programs welcome those who reach out to
cadets. The PDO can provide support, including briefng products, brochures, and novelty items. Please contact the PDO at
(573) 563-7374 with your requests.
Chemical Corps Facebook® Page
The Chemical Corps Facebook page at is intended to provide a means for
current members of the Corps to receive news, provide feedback, connect with each other, and recognize that they are part of
a unique and outstanding organization. It also provides prospective members with a vehicle to view and gather information
and to familiarize themselves with the Chemical Corps in a unique way. As we reach out to cadets, we promote this page,
which has been linked to information about several ROTC programs. If you haven't already done so, visit the page and "like"
it so that you may share in the information.
