B-C Soccer Alumn Knox Serving Country

Bearcat Soccer Alum David Knox, Class of 2002 emailed me an update on his whereabouts. David is a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and then went to BOLC II and Infantry Officer Basic Course, before graduating from Ranger School in May. After Ranger School, David shipped off to Germany and is currently in Kuwait/Iraq with the 1st Infantry Division and he will serve as a Platoon Leader in the next few weeks.

He said that "all yourconditioning and pushing us so hard back in high school still pays dividends to me today in the Army, combat and Ranger school. You always pushed us to dig a little deeper, and Ranger school was just an extension of that. So thank you for teaching us not to be (sic) soft."

David was married two years ago (wife is April) and they have just moved to Schweinfurt, Germany for his first duty station. He is entertaining playing for a local semi-pro team in the area. David has this message for the current Bearcats -- "Best of luck to you and the team this upcoming season, I'll be keeping track of the games!" David also wishes that he could attend the Alumni game in February, but "duty calls."

Our thoughts and prayers go out to David and others serving our country!
