## Caption

C1C Rhett Harms, CS-25, from Crete, Nebraska, is a tight end on @af_falcons football team and an Applied Mathematics Major with a focus in Operations Research. He would like to attend the Air Force Institute of Technology after graduation to study Operational Analysis before pursuing his dream of becoming a pilot.  
 
His favorite USAFA memories are tied to events that required the most team effort to get through – whether it was winning the Cheez-It Bowl or completing Recognition.  
 
“My advice for future and current cadets to be successful at the Academy is that you will never regret hard work,” he said. “It may seem miserable at the time, but you will be able to look back on your accomplishments and be proud of what you have been able to do.” 
 
He said after graduation he would take with him the knowledge that with the right reasons and motivation, nothing is impossible to overcome. Harms also said he would leave with the incredible friendships he made with amazing people from all over the world. #YourAcademy #BeatArmy @af_football
