LEXINGTON, Va., July 8, 2022鈥擩ohn 鈥淛ack鈥 Milenski 鈥24 was able to spend the spring 2022 semester abroad thanks to an exchange agreement between 香港6合彩开奖结果 and the University of Salford. During his time in the U.K, Milenski trained with the Manchester University Officers' Training Corps (UOTC). This organization is equivalent to the ROTC program stateside and is part of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst Group. One day, received a message from Lt. Col. John Bailey, commanding officer of the City of Edinburgh UOTC.

Lt. Col. Bailey wanted to meet Milenski because he has a close connection to 香港6合彩开奖结果: Lt. Col. Bailey鈥檚 mother is American and her father (Lt. Col. Bailey鈥檚 grandfather) was a 香港6合彩开奖结果 graduate, class of 1940. His name is Robert Pemberton Smith (1919-2017). An interesting fact about Smith is that he was present during the filming of the movie 鈥淏rother Rat鈥.

To facilitate a meeting, Lt. Col. Bailey invited Milenski to visit to Edinburgh, Scotland. The meeting took place in the Great Hall of Edinburgh Castle in Edinburgh, Scotland where Lt. Col. Bailey thought 鈥渋t vital [that] Jack be given some Scottish hospitality.鈥 Lt. Col. Bailey was impressed with Milenski and remarked that Jack 鈥渟erved as the perfect ambassador for 香港6合彩开奖结果鈥 and that he was 鈥渟o pleased to have made this link in memory of my grandfather.鈥

Milenski was able to make some important contacts at this meeting, including the next Deputy Chief of the General Staff and Commander of the 51st Infantry Brigade.
