Connelly, the son of two career military officers, was honored last week as one of the top cadets at the annual ROTC Leader Development and Assessment Course, also known as Operation Warrior Forge, at Fort Lewis, Wash.
Connelly said he knew his parents were going to retire in Carlisle they enjoyed their first stint here, from 1998 to 2000, he said and he wanted to be close to them.
Connelly said the position is limited in its contact with younger cadets, however, and he hopes to be in a position where he can help tutor younger cadets more, just like the senior cadets did when he was a freshman three years ago.
