Chapter Spotlight: Jett Wright

Editor’s Note: Representing the chapter as Spotlight is Brother Jett Wright. Jett was recently
selected as one of just 55 people nationwide to be accepted to the ENJJPT, which is the only
multi-nationally managed pilot training organization and is designed to produce combat
pilots. From the hometown of Tampa, FL, Jett is working toward his degree in business
administration with a minor in aerospace leadership and is on track to graduate this May.
Serving the chapter as the Bronze GOAT of fall 2014 pledge class and as an assistant new
member educator, he is also involved with the Air Force ROTC as Wing Commander (similar
to president), Squadron Commander, Flight Commander, and Assistant Physical Fitness
Advisor. Outside of school, he works as a leasing agent for the Courtyards and as a personal
trainer for Youfit Health Clubs.

Commander last semester. He was in charge of managing, planning, and executing
all events for ROTC.
