Firstie Friday is so back and weโ€™re returning with a bang. This week weโ€™re featuring our XO, Mary Casper!

Mary is a proud member of 26th Company and a history major hailing from Virginia Beach, VA. She currently serves as company XO, previously led the Class of 2029 as their first set Plebe Summer Regimental Commander, and will be stepping up as Brigade XO this coming spring semester. (Hooyah 12 stripes!)

Outside of her leadership roles, Mary stays just as busy. Sheโ€™s involved in Jiu Jitsu and various history programs, though sheโ€™ll tell you sheโ€™s a proud NARP at heart.

This past summer, between Detailing, she headed out to Lemoore, CA for an aviation cruise with VFA-154 โ€˜Black Knights,โ€™ where she got to take a backseat ride in an F-18, and she adventured through Yosemite and Sequoia National Park.

In her free time, Mary loves getting a workout in, but her favorite memories at the Academy always come back to the people. From Ring Dance to grabbing dinner with 26th Company at Picante, those are the moments that matter most.

We love Mary Casper! 26th company wouldnโ€™t be the same without you!

A fun fact about this PC is that he is forklift certified! ๐Ÿดโ˜๏ธ
