Glover, Jack

Former Cadet, U.S. Air Force, Reserve Officer Training Corps (2000-2002)

Glover's dedication and skill were quickly noticed, and he received honors and leadership positions typically reserved for the most promising cadets.

He was offered his first leadership position - Flight Adjutant - shortly after joining the ROTC program. In the Spring of 2001, Glover accepted the position of General Military Corps Advisor. In that position, Glover served as the chief lower classman -a position similar to the Chief Master Sergeant role in the Air Force. In the Fall of 2001, Glover served exceptionally well as the Operations Group Commander with the rank of Cadet Lieutenant Colonel, in which he was charged with the overall training of the cadets. In the Spring of 2002, the detachment needed Glover to remain in the operations group to help prepare the cadets for Field Training. In the Fall of 2003, Glover again served as a Cadet Lieutenant Colonel as a Group Commander.

Glover's talent and dedication also earned him several prestigious training opportunities. In the Summer of 2001, Glover attended the Air Force ROTC's five-week Field Training program. In May of 2002, Glover was selected to go to Vandenburg Air Force Base for three weeks of space program orientation.

Glover began dating another University of Alaska student, David Hall, in December 2000. Hall was serving in the Air Force on active duty at the time, but he joined the University of Alaska-Anchorage's Air Force ROTC program in May 2001.

In the Fall of 2001, Glover, with Hall, helped create a local Arnold Air Society chapter. The Arnold Air Society is an Honor Society in ROTC devoted to community service.
