MIZZOU Ranger Challenge Team Brings Home First Place
in both Female and Male Competition
at Weldon Springs, MO., October 24, 2009

Bob "Doc" Bosma retires from the MIZZOU Army ROTC program after 10 years of dedicated service. His valuable contributions to the program will be missed by cadre and cadets.

Doc came to work at the University of Missouri’s Tiger Battalion after the Kemper Military Junior College closed their doors in 2000.  Prior to 2000, he had worked as a TAC officer, public affairs officer, and Army ROTC Human Resources Technician at Kemper beginning in 1989.

The nickname ‘Doc’ comes from his duty as a Combat Medic with the First Cavalry Division in Vietnam in 1968, earning a Combat Medic Badge, Purple Heart, and Army Commendation Medal with “V’ device for valor during his tour.  He went on to serve a total of eight years of active duty, followed by another eight years of Army Reserve and Missouri National Guard duty.  He left the Army Reserve as a Sergeant First Class after a heart attack rendered him no longer eligible for military service.

Doc, along with his wife of 33 years, Joanie, make their home in Boonville, Missouri.
