The long search for someone who looks as good in mess dress as our Features Editor is over! CadetStuff.org is pleased to announce that Lt Col John Knowles, CAP, has joined our staff as our new Assistant Features Editor (And that Stanford guy can now get off his "I'm too sexy for this site" high-horse!).

John is a former C/Lt Col (man, this place is full of these guys..), having served as a cadet from 1971 to 1980. He is presently the commander of Maryland Wing's Group IV, and served as the Deputy Director of the 2003 MER Staff College, a position he will fill for 2004 as well.

John is employed in the construction industry (We suspect that he really just goes and collects wads of money from people with guys named Guido, Tony and Joey; that kind of "construction industry"), and is married to his Cadet sweetheart Terry. John assures us that she is his sweetheart from when they were Cadets, not his sweetheart who is a Cadet. They have three children name Guido, Tony and Joey.

John will be learning the editorial and technical ropes specific to CadetStuff from our Features Editor Shawn Stanford over the next few weeks.

Welcome aboard, sexy!
