Tyler Furches of Mount Pleasant was recently named to the South Carolina Corps of Cadets leadership for 2024-25. He will serve as the Delta Company Commander.
Commandant of Cadets announced new leadership for upcoming academic year.
As the Class of 2024 prepares to join The Citadel's Long Gray Line, the newest cadet leadership for the South Carolina Corps of Cadets is preparing to take over. To earn their positions for next year, these cadet leaders went through a series of rank board engagements, performance reviews and interviews.
The Citadel continues the tradition of developing principled leaders through a 24/7 military structure on campus, positioning cadets to run the Corps by earning increasing rank throughout their time at The Citadel. Rank holders acquire real leadership experience in these roles, by making decisions that contribute to the academic, physical fitness, military training and overall success of the Corps.
The new cadet leadership was announced by The Citadel Commandant of Cadets Col. Thomas Gordon, USMC (Ret.), '91, during a March 6 gathering in Jenkins Hall.
"Your ability to command here, in the South Carolina Corps of Cadets, and your authority to lead your peers, is derived from your moral authority. It is your personal credibility which will allow you to be successful or not with your peers. Be an example to emulate. The Corps will lead the Corps," said The Citadel Commandant of Cadets Col. Thomas Gordon, USMC (Ret.), '91, when announcing next year's leadership.
