Linden Hill
Warrant Officer candidates and their instructors participated in projects at Linden Hill Aug. 3, digging a trench to replace electrical wiring and painting. The candidates spend five weekends at Camp Ripley during their six-month course and 15 days at Fort McClellan, Ala. They give back to the community by doing various projects, with each year’s class choosing their own projects. Pictured above are (from left): instructor Chief Warrant 2 Andy Bachman of Fort Ripley, Dan Zirbes of Minneapolis, instructor Chief Warrant 3 Keith Schweitzer of St. Paul and Jamie Cullen of Minneapolis.
