Picked this up from the new issue of Charleston Currents, and thought it was pretty inspiring! A 1990 graduate from The Citadel recently took over as commander of the U.S. Navy’s Blue Angels flying team. He moved south to Pensacola, Florida after graduation where he entered aviation training at their Naval Air Station. He was selected for the prestigious position of Flight Leader / Commanding Officer by a panel of admirals and former Blue Angels.

Want to see the Blue Angels in person? They’ll be performing in Beaufort May 16 – 17.
