A high school student in Tennessee has overcome obstacles and achieved success as an Army JROTC Cadet. Torrey Sales, who attends Brainerd High School, took account of his life as he was entering high school. He broke away from the crowd and got on a path to excellence by adopting the seven Army Values–Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity and Personal Courage – LDRSHIP. Read more about Sales in the February issue of The Cadet magazine here.
