ORLANDO, Fla. - Soldiers from the Army Reserve joined their comrades from Army recruiting battalions and Army Reserve Officer Training Corps battalions to promote the branch's leadership platforms, educational opportunities and financial benefits to fans, staff and community leaders participating in the Florida Classic Nov. 21-23 in Orlando, Fla.

Formally created in 1978, the Florida Classic features a series of celebrations that culminate into a football game between the Bethune-Cookman University Wildcats and the Florida A&M University Rattlers. This year's game, which kicked off at the newly renovated Florida Citrus Bowl in Orlando Nov. 23, stands as the largest sports rivalry between two historically black colleges.

Army Brig. Gen. Norman Green, commanding general of the 4th Sustainment Command out of San Antonio, Texas, represented the Army Reserve during the Florida Classic VIP Reception and Kickoff Luncheon. Green, a graduate of the historically black South Carolina State College, also spoke with cadets from several Florida-based Army ROTC battalions about their career progression and leadership expectations as they transition from the campus parade grounds to the commissioned officer ranks.

The Army reinforced Green's efforts with static and interactive displays positioned outside the Citrus Bowl stadium. Managed in part by Soldiers from the 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary), the site gave fans to show off their strength, speed, endurance and dancing moves in a variety of challenges. Participants also received knapsacks, keychains, tee-shirts, dog tags and other items to show off their support for the American Soldier.

The Florida Classic organizers repaid the Army's support with an action-packed football game coupled with a lively half-time show featuring two of the finest marching bands in the country. After a scoreless first half on the rain soaked gridiron, the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats defeated the Florida A&M Rattlers 18-17 on a two-point conversion in overtime.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Soldiers from the 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) engaged with America’s next generation of leaders at Dr. Phillips High School in Orlando Nov. 17, 2016.

Army Maj. Frederick Moss, provost marshal, 143d ESC, and Army Staff Sgt. Andre Osby, maintenance manager, 143d ESC, joined members of the Army Marketing Research Group and the Tampa and Miami Army Recruiting Battalions to educate students and faculty members about the Army’s vision, mission and values. Moss and Osby encouraged hundreds of students to participate in several interactive exhibits that included individual fitness challenges, team building exercises, and even an AH-64 Apache helicopter flight simulator.

Many students waiting for their turn to don blindfolds, solve puzzles or perform pullups spoke with the Soldiers about their training, experience and aspirations. While these casual conversations opened opportunities to introduce potential recruits to the Army’s robust enlisted and Reserve Officer Training Corps programs, they also fostered greater respect and understanding about the Army’s role in developing strong communities and mutually beneficial partnerships both at home and abroad.

The school visit is one of the many Army-sponsored events connected to the Florida Classic, one of America’s largest college football rivalry featuring two historically black colleges: Bethune–Cookman University and Florida A&M University. Moss, Osby and other 143d ESC Soldiers will actively participate in these community engagement activities leading up to the Nov. 20 kickoff at Camping World Stadium in downtown Orlando.

Today was the girls’ first cheerleading competition of the season. I am so not cut out to be a cheer mom, and the day was disappointing because no one at their level was even eligible for any awards at the end of the long day, which we didn’t find out until we sat through everyone else’s awards. But the girls showed so much improvement over last year and they deserve big time props for getting out there and kicking butt. I’m proud of both of them. Four more of these things to go.

Many students waiting for their turn to don blindfolds, solve puzzles or perform pullups spoke with the Soldiers about their training, experience and aspirations. While these casual conversations opened opportunities to introduce potential recruits to the Army’s robust enlisted and Reserve Officer Training Corps programs, they also fostered greater respect and understanding about the Army’s role in developing strong communities and mutually beneficial partnerships both at home and abroad.

The school visit is one of the many Army-sponsored events connected to the Florida Classic, one of America’s largest college football rivalry featuring two historically black colleges: Bethune–Cookman University and Florida A&M University.
