VALDOSTA -- VSU’s Air Force ROTC will host the Blazer

and armed and unarmed exhibition drill. VSU’s cadet core has
planned the entire event and will host, judge and present awards
during the event.
“We’re always excited about the Blazer Invitational Junior ROTC
Drill Meet. It’s a great way to promote VSU, Air Force ROTC and the
greater Valdosta area,” Capt. Tim Bazzle, “It will bring in revenue
to several local businesses such as hotels, restaurants, clothing
stores, etc.”
The event should bring hundreds into the Valdosta area, including
100 to 200 high school parents, Bazzle added.
