Possible changes to the VTCC in light of ODU and Iran
With the attack on the ROTC program at ODU, I took the time to reach out to an old friend who is still in the Corps to see if anything was said by the VTCC leadership to the cadets.
He informed me that the Corps has had police at all formations and any event where the Corps is in uniform since the stuff with Iran started. Additionally, the freshman rats are now allowed to be off campus without a uniform because they don’t want them off campus in uniform to be a potential target. I am very curious to see how the Corps is going to operate since it looks like the shooter at ODU was looking for the ROTC class as his target. This could also change how Ring Dance goes in two weeks.

Maybe VTCC can all wear camo so nobody can find them.

No, I'm sure they were, I'm just guessing ODU wouldn't permit...
