Members and friends of the Alamo Battalion know CTN2 Grant Bartuska as an always cheerful, always organized leader of the Battalion. We will not be seeing Bartuska around drills anymore, because the Navy has selected him to become a Midshipman Candidate at the US Naval Academy Prep School (NAPS). Next year, he will become a member of the USNA Class of 2025, and eventually an officer in the United States Navy or Marine Corps.

Bartuska has some advice for would-be NAPSters. “Discipline will get you further than talent. You see that a lot here. Tons of D1 athletes fail the PRT because they don’t prepare for it. 4.0/35 ACT high school students fail because they never had to study.” 

All of us at the Alamo Battalion are very proud of M/C Bartuska, and we wish him the best of luck as he embarks on his voyage to become a commissioned officer. He was a great asset to the Alamo Battalion, and we know that he will be a outstanding officer.
