For today’s #CadetOfTheWeek, we’re visiting the “Show Me State!”

Meet Anthony Kulju, a senior at Webb City High School in Missouri. 

Kulju has been a member of the Cardinal Battalion’s #ArmyJROTC Drill and Rifle Team all four years of high school. 

“I joined #JROTC because it provided an opportunity to attain required high school credits, while sounding like a fun experience. I continued to stay in the program because... it provides me with friendships and leadership experiences that I could not find in other school activities.”

He is a member of Webb City High School’s National Honor Society. Kulju is very musical 🎶 – he loves playing the cello, is the lead pianist for the school’s Jazz Ensemble, and he’s played tenor saxophone in multiple bands. He also works for his school’s student-led food business, selling food and drinks to students in the mornings. 

Kulju’s biggest leadership motivation is his father. 

“He came from an incredibly humbling childhood and has done nothing but prioritize my character from day one.”

Kulju’s time with the Cardinal Battalion has “given me a multitude of chances to step into leadership roles, develop my character, confidence, and discipline in the process.”

Fun facts: Kulju enjoys running, cycling, and singing. 

After graduation, he aspires to start an independent business as a contractor and work in construction trades.

Keep up the great work Cadet Kulju 👏👏
