We are so glad you are here! We ended our second spring semester by commissioning eight new second lieutenants, sending our MS-3 cadets to cadet summer training (CST) at Fort Knox, Kentucky, and sending numerous cadets to DOD internships and military schools. At CST, the MS-3 Cadets were able to show case all of the skills they have been training and developing over the past three years amongst all of their peers across the nation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multiple Blue Jay Cadets earned the opportunity to attend Air Assault and Air Borne school while over 10 of our Cadets were selected for internship opportunities local to the U.S. and overseas. We are so glad to have everyone back safe and healthy while also getting to know our new Cadets! We kicked off this semester with new cadet orientation (NCOP), Lab 1- teaching Troop Leading Procedures (TLPs), and a friendly and competitive game of football during our first Battalion PT! It has been a summer full of fun and new opportunities. Now it is time to gear up and get the semester grind going. Let us together make this a semester to remember! I’ll Lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cTaking a moment to welcome back all the returning Cadets and Cadre and a first time welcome to our newest Cadets! The Blue Jay BN had a great summer, with MSIVs excelling at CST, gaining Army experience at CTLT other internships, and enjoying some well-earned downtime. We also welcomed 12 new Cadets to the program in August. I\u2019m beyond excited to join this program as PMS and am looking forward to a great semester!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
