Kamari Jett knows what he wants out of life. He doesn’t mind following his own guide because he understands that it is the only route to where he wants to be. Jett, a transfer student from Roswell, Georgia, will begin his junior year at Georgia College.
Kamari Jett, a recent graduate of Georgia Military College (GMC), began building his military knowledge in high school. He was an active participant in JROTC and found favor in the eyes of his supervisor. Towards the end of 11th grade, Jett enlisted into the Army National Guard through the Split Operations Program. With his mind set on excelling in the military, Jett considered the steps necessary to propel his career forward and applied to GMC.
“They have a commissioning program where you can get a gold bar in two years,” said Jett. ”With ROTC, it takes four years to get the gold bar. But with this program, you get your associate’s, you get your gold bar and then you go to a following school.”
While at GMC, Jett’s achievements seemed to pile up. He made a few appearances on the Dean’s List as he earned his associate’s degree. While in Cadet Core, he was a part of the Ranger Challenge team that placed first out of all military junior colleges. Travelling across the country, Jett participated in several other events, including the Army Ten Miler in Washington, D.C., which is the second largest ten-mile race in the U.S. After the race, he went out to New Mexico, where he trained for the Bataan Death March, an event that honors fallen soldiers and veterans.
“When it came to those strenuous events, I was always a person to go out there because it’s hard, because I had to push myself physically and mentally. So I developed myself physically and mentally.”
Though Jett will remain in the heart of Georgia, his familiarity with the area is not his only reason for choosing Georgia College.
“The classes are smaller, so you get to know the teacher. It’s more one-on-one; teacher to student instead of teacher to class,” Jett said. “It (Georgia College) benefits me the most.”
Holding an associate’s degree in general studies, Jett plans to obtain his bachelor’s in business management. His end goal is to move into active duty with the military and work his way up as an officer. Outside of his degree, Jett hopes to “meet a lot of people, and gain the comradery and school spirit that comes with being a Georgia College graduate.” He will start classes in the fall of 2017.
