“I was nervous going into CST but I ended up having so much fun. I made new experiences and met new people. During your MSIII year learn as much as you can and ask a lot of questions, so when you get to camp you can just lean into your knowledge and trust what you know!” ~ Cadet Captain Porsha Purkiss.
Congratulations to Cadet Captain Porsha Purkiss on her graduation from today. Upon returning to Murray State University, Cadet Purkiss will serve as Cadet Platoon Training Officer, responsible for monitoring and assisting the platoon leadership, assisting with coordination with squad leaders, organizing platoon formations, attendance, and providing feedback to the platoon leadership.
Congratulations Cadet Purkiss.
RACERS!!!
