Spencer Grant Drury is recommended for admission to Army Officer Candidate School. He worked for four years as an office assistant at a law firm, where he performed all tasks with a smile and was a pleasure to work with. Academically, Drury ranked high in his class, graduating high school with a 3.9 GPA, undergraduate with a 3.1 GPA, and his MBA program with a 3.5 GPA. The author, a retired Brigadier General, is confident that if accepted, Drury will excel at basic training and OCS and become a highly proficient infantry or intelligence officer, as he has a strong desire to serve the country in this capacity.
