Follow Your DreamsFollow Your DreamsFollow your dreams You can reach your goals, Im living proof.Follow your dreams You can reach your goals, Im living proof. -- Eric CartmanEric Cartman


1LT James Zimmerman, MD, Flight Surgeon, USN, came into speak about his experiences in the Navy and told his storyabout how he chose not to decide between being a doctor andbeing a pilot. He became both. He delivered a candid andwell-crafted lecture about the importance of staying in school,doing your best, and it will all pay off. Joining the military

allows you to pursue both tracks in close succession. Thecadets seemed enthralled and he had a flurry of questions atthe end. Dr. Zimmerman is a current role model of militaryduty and his stories are fresh and recent. He returned fromhis most recent deployment last November. He has uniqueperspective on the current war, which, if it continues, ourcurrent CAP cadets will be involved with, should they joinwhen they are older. Our current cadets are at that perfect

Here is living proof you dont have to decideHere is living proof you dont have to decidebetween being a pilot and a doctor. Hes both.between being a pilot and a doctor. Hes both.

age where they will begin deciding where their priorities lie.We hope Dr. Zimmerman was able to convince them thatwherever their dreams may lead them, that the path is alwayspaved early, with a good education and a will to succeed.Thank you, Dr. Zimmerman, for sharing your incredible

journey with the cadets!
