RESERVE/ROTC PROFILES
Enjoy the Best of Both Worlds
As ROTC Officers in the Army Reserve, these individuals gain the satisfaction of serving their country while pursuing their goals as civilians. You can, too.
First Lieutenant Heather Cupitt
Flight Instructor/Pilot
"Growing up I was not adventurous, I was in a small town I went to the movies on the weekend and was part of a basketball team. And now I am so much more adventurous just after four or five years coming out of high school and I'm flying a multi-million dollar helicopter and I can't say that about a lot of 23 year olds."
Fiber Optics Product Specialist/Logistics
"Aside from paying for tuition at a private school I decided to come into ROTC because I thought that it would take this shy little girl from Texas and build her Leadership skills and help her be able to stand in front of people and to lead."
Non-Profit Organizer/Public Affiars Officer
"I learned about Leadership in ROTC. I've always been kind of the type of person to sort of follow the crowd and it was time, it was kind of, one of those times in my life where I was forced to actually take command and actually go in front of all my peers and say 'hey, this is what we need to do, and this is how we're going to get something done' and from that I just was a lot more confident of myself."
First Lieutenant Terrance Wilson
Project Manager/Personnel Systems Management Officer
"I enjoy the camaraderie that I get out of the Army Reserve because it's a sense of belonging. You're part of a team. You're part of a chain. You're part of a family."
Chief of Staff for the office of Risk Management/Civil Affairs Officer
"Something I think goes back to experiences I had in Army ROTC and my experiences in the Army Reserve. Which is that when everybody works together there's nothing you can't do."
