Panther Military: Humvees and Laser Technology

The Panther Military Learning Living Community has continued to be a small but great LLC to be a part of. Working with the National Guard here at UWM we have been able to put on awesome events that no other LLC could put on. In the mouth of October, we will able to put on a military Humvee driving test where the residents were able to drive a National Guard Humvee along their driving course. This was completed after a muddy couple of days and even though we had half of the LLC members go, they had an awesome time getting muddy and knocking down small trees with a Humvee. In the month of December, the LLC planned a training simulation with National Guard laser technology. Working closely with Sergeant First Class James Neville, we were able to allow residents to use realistic firing laser technology and have and awesome time learning different military skills. Residents could learn how to clear rooms, attack defending opposing forces, and develop a comradary while doing different situations. Working with the National Guard here in Milwaukee allowed us to have some awesome opportunities to use the extremely large National Guard armory and Motor pool areas close to campus. These areas are normally only accessible to military members only but due to our unique connections through the National Guard ROTC program here at UWM the Panther Military Group has been able to do some amazing events that you cannot do anywhere else. The LLC members are loving the opportunities that they have been provided and are very excited for the next semester and what comes with it.
