Cadet Perez

Cadet Company Commander

“As A Co Commander, I oversee the welfare and training of nearly 60 underclassmen.  I feel as if I have the toughest and most rewarding job.  I am responsible for having the right people at the right time, place, and uniform.  My favorite part about my job is getting to know my company.  I enjoy knowing their goals, what motivates them, what turns them off, how they like to stay in shape, and their different personalities.  When I commission as a 2LT, I’m excited to build on the people and management skills I learned as A Co Commander to the platoon I receive in my Active Duty unit.”
