PARACHUTING
From Knob Knowledge
On March 16, 1996, cadet Grant H. Galef, Delta Company, Class of 1997, was the first cadet to land on The Citadel campus in a demonstration jump during the Corps Day parade. Cadet Bill Epkins, Echo Company, Class of 1998, was the second to do so, on the same jump. The two cadets passed a baton in free fall which was presented to Lt. Gen. Watts upon landing on the parade ground. (Source: Grant Galef, Captain, Citadel Skydiving Team, 1996-1997)
