Nerea Cal joins the podcast from New Haven, CT, where she’s currently completing her PhD at Yale. She shares a memory remembering a fellow swim teammate, then reminisces about her R-Day parade experience. Nerea has accomplished a lot thus far, both personally and professionally, which is a testament to her perseverance. Fresh off a personality introspection from the Army BCAP, she looks forward to finishing school and taking command. Nerea reflects on the question of unexpected paths that she wouldn’t have envisioned as a cadet, before asking others what they would change about West Point.
