Norwood man graduates from Cadet Leader Course in Kentucky

Posted

Thomas Plumb of Norwood recently graduated from the Cadet Leader Course (CLC) at Fort Knox, Ky.

Plumb is an Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps cadet at SUNY Canton.

He graduated from a 30-day summer training event focused on training cadets to solve “complex leadership issues and problems at the company level,” according to a press release.

The program “builds upon the work accomplished on campus and develops the cadet's small unit leadership ability in a tactical environment,” the release said.

Cadets usually attend between their junior and senior years of college, and they must complete the course to qualify for commissioning.

Upon successful completion of the course, the ROTC program, and graduation from college, cadets are commissioned as second lieutenants in the U.S. Army, Army National Guard, or Army Reserve.

Plumb is the son of Juddy Plumb and Becky Plumb of Norwood. He is a 2010 graduate of Norwood-Norfolk Central High School.
