This week's MSIV highlight goes out to CDT Caitlyn Boothe! Cait is a 4th year Criminal Justice major who has branched Aviation! A competitive cheerleader, she loves to spend time with her family and friends, working out, and bettering our unit as the Battalion XO.
When asked what she is most looking forward to do in the Army, she said "Working with people that have the same passion as I do. I'm excited to know what it feels like to have the coolest job while serving the greatest country in the world. My main goal is to make my family and country proud, while serving alongside my brothers who are also in the Army." She has also requested a shout out to her father, 1SG retired Boothe.

Above The Best!

This morning, the Stinger Battalion conducted a 9/11 Memorial Ruck March up Kennesaw Mountain, a historic Civil War battlefield and park.

Upon the summit, our own, MAJ Cathcart, spoke to the cadets on the significance of this tragedy and it’s continuous impact on future leaders and service members. The March also acted as a reminder of the sacrifice that emergency-response personnel made while trying to save others.

AIRBORNE!
Last week, Cadet Mason Ladd graduated from the Basic Airborne Course at Ft. Benning, GA.

Airborne School teaches the fundamentals of airborne operations through static line parachuting while teaching leadership, self-confidence, and an aggressive spirit through mental and physical conditioning.

Cadet Ladd said that his favorite part of the training was the peacefulness of floating through the sky after jumping.
Congrats Cadet Ladd!
