It’s a great day to introduce another Army ROTC #CadetOfTheWeek 🎉

Meet Cadet Liam Yost, a junior majoring in Chemical Engineering at Rochester Institute of Technology. 

He joined #ArmyROTC to set himself up for success in the civilian world and serve his country.

“I decided to lead because I see leadership as a way to effectively band a group of people together as a team to accomplish a goal. Good leadership looks like effective communication and facilitation of a well-thought-out plan, ready to provide direction when things fail, and redirect back on course.”

Yost is described as a phenomenal peer leader who shows dedication to the training and development of his fellow cadets. He’s attended Air Assault School and participated in Sage Eagle with 3rd Special Forces Group. This year alone, Yost organized the Tiger Battalion’s Stop Soldier Suicide Ruck and was the captain of the #RangerChallenge team. This past summer, Yost also quickly stepped in to save the life of an elderly neighbor who was trapped under debris after a car crashed into her house.

His faith and his father serve as the foundations for his leadership motivation. 

In his free time, Yost is an avid outdoorsman who loves hiking, caping, rock climbing, and sailing. 

Fun Fact #1: He is the fifth of eight children and one of 40 grandchildren. 
Fun Fact #2: He loves music and has played the saxophone for over a decade. He is a member of RIT’s jazz band.

After graduation, Cadet Yost hopes to pursue a career in the ARNG as either an Aviation or Air Defense Artillery.
