πŸͺ‚ Air Assault Excellence! πŸšπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

A massive congratulations to CDT Alex Troy and CDT Brady Sloop for graduating from the Sabalauski Air Assault School at Fort Campbell, KYβ€”and completely dominating the course!

Not only did they earn their Air Assault Badges, but these two future officers also brought home the top honors for their respective schools:

πŸ¦… CDT Alex Troy (Widener University) was named the Honor Graduate πŸ₯‡
πŸ¦… CDT Brady Sloop (University of Vermont) took the title of 12-Mile Ruck March Champion πŸ†

From the obstacle course to sling-load operations and rappelling from the skies, they proved exactly what it means to lead from the front. Your dedication, grit, and excellence have set a massive standard.

Proud is an understatement. Welcome to the Aerosol club, gentlemen! πŸ’ͺπŸ¦…

β˜€β™‘ Future Army Nurses in action! β˜€β™‘

This summer, CDT Megan Lessard (center; first photo) from the University of New Hampshire received the opportunity of a lifetime when she participated in the Nurse Summer Training Program ( ) at Womack Army Medical Center (WAMC) at Fort Bragg, NC. While there, she had the opportunity to spend time honing her nursing skills in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), postpartum, labor and delivery, OR, and the Emergency Department (ED). It was a great confidence booster for her as she was able to complete a lot of skills that UNH doesn't allow students to do.

This feels better equipped to be a nurse in the Army after being immersed in this environment. Want to learn about opportunities like this to better develop your nursing career? Send us a DM! βœ‰οΈ
