Now that class is back in session we’ll be running our #FirstieFriday profiles again.  
 
Up first, we have C1C Lynne Jad from Aurora, Colorado. Jad is a member of CS-20 and is the Wing Communications Officer.  
 
“I came here for the endless opportunities and the first-rate education I receive as a management major. I’m very proud of my faith and am one of 36 cadets who are Muslim at the Academy.” 
 
Some of her favorite memories are from Jump 490, and she’s looking forward to all the milestones her Firstie year will bring: getting her class ring, job drops, base drops, and of course, graduation!  
 
Her advice for succeeding at USAFA? Have a strong foundation of values and stick to them when you encounter challenges. #YourAcademy
