North Myrtle Beach Times - page 8, Thursday, March 20, 2008 Jenerette Completes SchoolKATHERINE JENERETTE GRADUATES from US ARMY AIRBORNE SCHOOL |
||
Former North Myrtle Beach Planning Commissioner, U.S. Army Lieutenant Katherine Jenerette recently graduated from the U.S. Army's Airborne school at Ft. Benning, Georgia. Airborne officers are considered to be among the Army's most valuable combat officers. Every member of the Rangers and Special Forces - two of the Army's most elite corps - is airborne qualified. Information about the Airborne school states: Throughout the fast-moving course of instruction, mental alertness and physical conditioning are emphasized and Airborne School is designed for those who possess the desire, motivation and courage to join the elite fraternity known as "Paratroopers." It is one of the most physically demanding yet rewarding courses in the US Army. It takes a special kind of person to volunteer for this assignment; someone with an unflinching nerve and a spirit of adventure. Having successfully survived jump school, Jenerette graduated and was awarded her Airborne wings at a ceremony in Ft. Benning last week. In the military, Airborne wings are a mark of courage, daring and skill. |

Jenerette is a U.S. Army veteran of the Persian Gulf War Operation Desert Storm and she has served as a Field Representative for the 1st Congressional District, South Carolina. She currently is a Commissioned Officer serving in the U.S. Army Reserve and as an Army Paratrooper she is assigned to the U.S. Army Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations Command (Airborne) at Fort Bragg, N.C. |

Congratulations, Lieutenant! Very well done!
Dude it’s her......
Thank you, your smile says it all. Godspeed.
Congrats. I bet you could kick Private Benjamin's ass!

I slept like a baby too - but the 0330hrs wake-ups seemed to happen no sooner than I closed my eyes.
I'm supposed to get my 'blood wings' after my 'cherry jump' with my unit next month...no sweat compared to what I have been through in life!
I must admit a 'pucker factor' of at least 9.5...but, exiting a C130 probably is close to the 2d best feeling a human being can experience in this lifetime!
Airborne!
Katherine
Congratulations!
Second I have to say that I would be proud to serve with you. . . . . .
THANK YOU for your service and giving the young ladies of today a great role model to look up to. Heaven knows they need it.
Ditto.
I salute you LT from a USN Chief! Thank you so much for joining this important group and congrats on finishing that tough school. Take care of yourself out there Ma’am!!!!
LOL! This “woman” is kjenerette.
Awesome! Congrats and thanks for your service!
Congratulations very much - my black hat used to say he divorced his first wife, because she was a leg...LOL
The first jump was easy, as I recall. The second scared the snot out of me - I remembered what happened the first time!
Congrats Katherine and thanks for serving your country.
Killer babes from Above, I love it.
Still, it’s not like you were a Marine after all.
Ooooorah!
Semper Fi.

Good luck to your son he’ll do fine. It’s a tough school especially if you’re not Army.
God bless you and thank you for your service!
Well done, Thornbird :-)
brakes locked up and the sucker flipped.
Congratulations Katherine!!
Seems like we both like the fine idea/quote of John Stewart Mill!
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
