Senior Cadet Edition
Meet MS4 Cadet Jordan Brines! CDT Brines will be graduating fall term with a degree in Communications with an emphasis in social media engagement. Additionally, he plans on commissioning active duty aviation but since he is apart of the MSIII cohort for now, his other top 2 branching options are infantry or military intelligence. Some advice that he has for the younger MS classes is, “Finding motivation to participate and fulfill ROTC requirements can sometimes be difficult. The best thing you can do for yourself is push through and demonstrate grit. A little pain now will pay off later.”
