Maj. Gen. Christopher Hughes, commanding general of U.S. Army Cadet Command and Fort Knox, Ky., joined on stage by “extrovert” Cadet John Brough, Western Kentucky University, and “introvert” Cadet Natasha Parowski, University of Tennessee at Knoxville, asks Army ROTC cadets to raise their hands if they agree that “no news is good news” while discussing the differences between extroverts and introverts and the potential for misunderstanding during his remarks at the U.S. Army Cadet Command George C. Marshall Awards and Leadership Seminar Feb. 12, 2018, at the Lewis and Clark Center.
