University of Southern Mississippi (USM) student-veteran Cadet Ryan Dean has been selected as a U.S. Army General George C. Marshall Award winner recognizing him as the top USM Army ROTC cadet within the class of 2021.
Dean is a military veteran, member of the Mississippi Army National Guard, and Army ROTC cadet majoring in business management. As an Army veteran, he attends USM via his Post 9-11 (Chapter-33) GI Bill. He maintains an overall 3.8 grade point average
Florida State Army Reserve Officer Training Corps cadets push themselves daily. Being a cadet means meeting at 6 a.m. for physical training, attending classes and training labs, and pushing themselves to new limits in hope of commissioning into the Army as a Second Lieutenant.
However, some cadets wanted to take on another challenge, and they did so by trying out for spots in Special School training, which they will attend over the summer.
According to the U.S. Army’s Cadet Command, cadets have the option to attend Special Training over the summer if they qualify. If selected by their school s commanding officers, they will have the chance to attend Air Assault School, Airborne School, Army Mountain Warfare School or Northern Warfare School. Army Cadet Command says spots are very competitive, and a few Florida State Cadets believe they have what it takes.

Two Kentucky Army posts â Fort Campbell and Fort Knox â are among six Army posts that will be allocated millions of dollars in private-sector funding soon to construct new homes and improve the quality of existing houses.
Negotiated between the U.S. Army and Lendlease and announced Jan. 27, the agreement involves $1.1 billion in capital investment from various public financial institutions.
Lendlease officials said they plan to use the additional monies to renovate more than 12,000 existing homes while also constructing more than 1,200 new houses at the six installations. Itâs part of efforts to improve military housing after reports in 2018 revealed military families were contending with dangerous living conditions in privately managed military homes, including mold, lead paint, faulty electrical wiring and pest problems.
