## Caption

We’re excited to feature C1C Cleapatra Jackson from Indianapolis, Indiana, for today’s #FirstieFriday! 
 
She came to the Academy for a top tier, free education and a guaranteed career opportunity after graduation. She hopes to serve in logistics.  
 
Jackson’s favorite memory from her time here was hosting the 2019 Black History Month Luncheon and presenting a gift to the speaker, the first female African-American fighter pilot, (Ret) Lt. Col. Shawna Kimbrell.  
 
“My advice for succeeding at the Academy is to not be afraid to seek help. The Academy life isn’t easy, and there are so many people around you that can give you different perspectives,” she said. #YourAcademy
