U.S. Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps Cadet Katie Lock, a student at Virginia Tech and member of the New River Battalion, 1st Brigade, U.S. Army Cadet Command, talks about her experience jumping with the 173rd Airborne Brigade at Aviano Air Base, Italy. She participated in this training as part of the Cadet Troop Leader Training (CTLT) program. The CTLT program offers select ROTC cadets, the Army's future leaders, an invaluable chance to experience active-duty firsthand by shadowing seasoned platoon leaders.
