Avery L. Holmes has graduated from the Army ROTC (Reserve Officer Training Corps) Leader’s Training Course at Fort Knox, Ky.

The 28-day course is a leadership internship for cadets who are normally between their sophomore and junior college years.

College students experience and examine the Army without incurring an obligation to serve in the Army or ROTC and are eligible to receive two-year college scholarship offers and attend the ROTC Advanced Course at their college.

The Army observes and evaluates cadets to determine their officer potential in leadership abilities and skills.

The cadet is a student at Jackson State University.

He is the son of Ruby L. Holmes of S. Greensburg Road in Liberty.

Holmes is a 2005 graduate of Amite County High School in Liberty.
