Today we head to the Palmetto State 🌴 for our Army JROTC #CadetOfTheWeek.

Meet Carolina Redmond-Murillo, a senior at Airport High School in South Carolina. 

Cadet Redmond-Murillo joined #ArmyJROTC to follow in her mother’s footsteps. 

“She did it throughout all her years in high school, and she also was a part of the Drill team. She encouraged me to join and see if I liked it. It ended up becoming the biggest program that I am a part of in my school.” 

Redmond-Murillo is currently ranked #2 in her graduating class and is a member of Airport High School’s Student Government, Beta Club, National Honor Society, and the STEM Club. 

She is a member of the Eagles Battalion’s Drill Team and is very active in all community events her battalion participates in throughout the year, to include service projects like coordinating blood drives or the adopt-a-highway program. Through #JROTC, she competed at #NationalDrill and recently won the Legion of Valor.

“The program has allowed me to build a family that will never go away, and I know I will be able to
depend on them throughout my life. I have been able to practice my leadership skills and
build as a leader and a person. I have earned trust from the whole battalion and improved
on mentoring and building the cadets to be the best of themselves.” 

Redmond-Murillo is motivated to lead by her faith, family, and the many mentors in her life. 

Fun facts: Her favorite movie is “Coraline.” Her favorite shaped state is Illinois. 

After high school graduation, Redmond-Murillo plans to attend college and pursue a degree in Nursing. She is enlisting in the Army National Guard and plans to do ArmyROTC and commission as an officer in the U.S. Army.
