We are always motivated to excel academically, athletically and as leaders.&#8217; ; ; ;<br>He said that his membership of the program had &#8216;pushed&#8217; him to set &#8216;higher standards of discipline&#8217; for himself and to &#8216;act honorably and respectfully&#8217; among his peers.  ;<br>The cadet left Hawaii under a cloud over money he owed a drug dealer but then joined the army in Fort ;Huachuca, Arizona where he ran into disciplinary problems after fighting another soldier&#8217;<br>Described as a loner, Gilday could be short tempered at times, his ROTC mentor said.  ;</p>
