The formal affair included fine food and a wine bar. Accompanying Gunnar was his wife Kayla. Thank you to the K-State ROTC for letting the Konza Prairie be a part of your service!

🟣 WILDCAT WEDNESDAY 🟣

Cadet O'Rourke is graduating with a Bachelor’s of Science in Economics with a minor in Business.

He has been selected to commission into the United States Air Force as an Intelligence Officer and will attend training at Goodfellow Air Force Base, Texas.

He joined AFROTC because he always knew he wanted to join the military, but wanted to be in a position where he could make the most positive impact and take care of the most people.

His favorite memories from his time in the program were going through Field Training Preparation with his class and graduating from Freefall.

A quote that inspired him throughout college was,
“Follow Me!” — Maj. Gen. Aubrey Newman

We're excited to see the impact he makes in the Air Force!🇺🇸✈️
