CADET NEWS The Editor regrets the short turnaround time imposed for Cadet news for this issue and will try and give more notice in the future.
CLASS OF 2001 Joseph Gerena: Wow! Four years have gone by
so fast and now Joey is ready to move on. When Joey first started attending
the Academy he wasn’t sure whether he would be ready to make that 5-year
commitment. But after the past four years he is excited about it. He is definitely
looking forward to helicopter training and all of the other experiences
ahead. Although his military future is very much on his mind these days so is
his personal life as he prepares to get married July 7th. He and his fiancee,
Shayla will check out the housing at Ft. Rucker while attending a fellow WP
classmates wedding just three short weeks before their own wedding. My, my it
sounds like wedding bells are ringing all over these days! Jennifer Leidel:
Hi, well guess this is IT!!
Can’t believe how fast the time has gone by, at least for us. Looking forward
to seeing everyone up at graduation. News from Jen: Jennifer is anxiously
counting the MINUTES until graduation. On June 12 she leaves for a three-week
vacation in Africa with her family. She reports to Ft. Rucker on July 10 to
begin flight school. GO ARMY!! Aaron
Morris: Aaron is enjoying his final semester at West Point.
He particularly enjoyed a golfing weekend with his father and a friend from
Tampa the first of May. The first day of golf resulted in a tie score between
the three of them. At the end of the second day of golf, three and a half
dozen golf balls had found a home at West Point! As with almost all Firsties Aaron is looking forward to graduation
and is beginning to realize that he will miss a lot of good friends made over
his time at West Point. Eric
Musgrave: Eric is looking forward to graduation. Afterwards,
he and his Dad are riding motorcylces to the West coast of the US. He has to
report back to West Point on July 10 for knee surgery. Then he will stay
there for the next 9 months. Even though Eric has this little set back, his
attitude is very good. He’s ready to get this behind him and on to OBC and
Ranger school. CLASS OF 2002 Misty
Cantwell: Misty is
glad Sandhurst is over. Her company came in 8th out of 36 companies. She is
enjoying her duty as CIC for Sunday School, but is looking forward to the
time off this summer. She spent several days at the Protective Design Center
in Omaha in preparation for her upcoming trip to Croatia. She will spend
several days at home in June upon her return. |
