1LT Cleary also graduated from the U.S. Army Airborne School, the U.S. Army Special Warfare Center's High Altitude-Low-Opening (HALO) parachute course, and the 82d Airborne Division Jumpmaster course.
In recounting 1LT Cleary's path to attend Ranger School, one line in the article epitomizes the spirit of the Order of the JAGWAR: "Cleary believed that he would be a better officer--and a better judge advocate--if he took part in this rigorous combat arms training."
The Order of the JAGWAR celebrates Ranger Cleary, and all JA's who would follow in his footsteps!
