Army Reserve Ambassador Uses Golden Knights Tandem Jumps to Strengthen Civilian-Army Reserve Ties
FORT LIBERTY, NC —
On a recent morning, as a plane ascended to 12,500 feet, a group of community leaders braced themselves for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. They were about to jump out of a plane, tethered to members of the U.S. Army Parachute Team, the Golden Knights. But this event was about more than just adrenaline. For 63d Readiness Division Army Reserve Ambassador James Bernet, these tandem jumps are a strategic tool to connect the Army Reserve with influential civilians.
