March 30: 8 am: VMI Spring Field Training Exercise (FTX) and Community Service
Details
We will clean gravestones at Oak Grove Cemetery
VMI Cadets provide hundreds of hours of service to qualified community organizations during what we refer to as our Spring FTX or field training exercise, each year. Spring FTX provides a longer training session for those cadets who plan to enter the military than would normally be possible during the regular academic year.
Cadets not seeking military commissions, however, have a designated place of duty as public servants to the Greater Lexington community, as opposed to in the field with a military branch.
Cadets will be available to participate in community service projects during the Spring FTX period,
