About Michael/ Cadet life

AIR FORCE ROTC · CORNELL UNIVERSITY

Learning to lead,
with a team.

Since November 2024, I’ve been an AFROTC cadet with Detachment 520 at Cornell. Alongside my engineering studies, I take part in military training and leadership development.

DETACHMENT 520 / NOV 2024 — PRESENT

Cadet training asks me to show up prepared and work with other people. It’s a different setting from a software project, but preparation, clear communication, and responsibility matter in both.

FROM THE TRACK TO THE CLASSROOM

The people.
The shared moments.

Training brings us together. Classroom moments, celebrations, formal events, and an aviation visit show the community around it.
