Semester Grad Completes Marine Boot Camp

Spring Semester in the Rockies grad Peter Trausch recently returned from boot camp with the US Marines where he utilized his NOLS skills and then some during his training. Most notably was on a final test called “The Crucible,” during which recruits hiked a grueling 50 miles, throughout which their team of 20 was given obstacles to overcome together before finishing triumphantly at dawn 54 hours later.

Peter, a Lake Forest, IL resident, hopes to become a pilot, and “fly helicopters both in the Armed Forces and in the civilian world.” With his devotion and knowledge, we have no doubt he will. Congratulations, Peter!
