Someday I may remember his name, but I don't now.
My roommate during the first weeks--I don't have a photo of him--later became the Cadet Squadron Commander, quite by mistake. Our flight commander overheard him being criticized by another flight commander over an order he was giving to the rest of us in the flight. However, I realized at the time that the only reason my roommate was ignoring the other flight commander was that he did not know he was being addressed. Our flight commander thought he showed such courage in doing what he knew was right over the objections of an officer who was wrong that he highly recommended him to become Squadron Commander, the highest cadet rank.
It did not matter. My former roommate was a very good Squadron Commander, regardless.
