(09 OCT 2026) The Sooner Battalion joined UT NROTC for the final day of the annual Run to Dallas (RTD), bringing both units together ahead of the Red River Rivalry.

The day began with students from both units completing their respective runs by carrying their game balls around the Cotton Bowl. The units then came together for a series of friendly competitions, including volleyball, basketball, dodgeball, spikeball, and tug of war.

While our universities may be rivals on the field, the event provided an opportunity to build camaraderie, strengthen relationships, and reinforce our shared commitment to serving as future Navy and Marine Corps officers.

Thank you to UT NROTC for joining us for a great day of competition and fellowship. BOOMER SOONER!

This summer, Sooner Battalion Midshipmen gained firsthand experience across the Navy and Marine Corps through their respective summer training programs.
3/C Midshipmen attended Career Orientation and Training for Midshipmen (CORTRAMID), where they were introduced to the Aviation, Surface Warfare, Submarine, and Marine Corps communities.
2/C Midshipmen continued their development through second-class cruises, serving alongside Sailors aboard surface ships or submarines and gaining a better understanding of life in the Fleet.
Navy-option 1/C Midshipmen completed their first-class cruises experiencing the responsibilities and expectations of future naval officers, while Marine-option 1/C Midshipmen attended Officer Candidates School (OCS), completing a major step toward earning their commissions as Marine Corps officers.
From the Fleet to the field, summer cruise provided our Midshipmen with valuable experience as they continue preparing to lead Sailors and Marines.
Welcome back, Sooner Battalion!
