| HIST | I don’t understand his children or grandchildren or great-grandchildren- I couldn’t figure it out. jkh of Santee, South Carolina Brothers keep family military tradition alive Caleb Elms, left, who was recently accepted into the United States Air Force Academy, is seen with his brother, Carter Elms, an Army Ranger and lieutenant in the 82nd Airborne Division. Posted Thursday, May 7, 2015 6:00 am BY KONSTANTIN VENGEROWSKY KONSTANTIN@THEITEM.COM Manning brothers Caleb and Carter Elms have military blood running through their veins. Their grandfather, Leroy Carter, was a Green Beret who served in Vietnam, and their father, John Elms, was in the U.S. Army's 82nd Airborne Division. Carter, an Army Ranger, is serving as a lieutenant in the same company as his father did in the 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment. He recently came back from a six-month tour in Afghanistan, where he was a platoon leader in charge of 36 paratroopers. Carter's younger brother, Caleb, was recently accepted into the U.S. Air Force Academy as one of fewer than 10 applicants from South Carolina to be selected. Both brothers were group commanders for Manning High School's Air Force Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps. Carter graduated in 2009 from MHS, and Caleb will graduate in June. He has wanted to go to the academy since middle school. "Caleb came to me in the eighth grade and said that he had aspirations of going to the academy and becoming a combat pilot," said retired Lt. Col. Frank Ladson, program instructor. "He already had the right mindset back then and was willing to work toward his goal." Ladson said as a former employee of the Air Force Academy, he could see that Caleb had all the qualifications needed in a potential candidate. "He was exactly the type of candidate that they were looking for, not only an excellent student, but well rounded," he said. Besides being a straight-A student and in the top 1 percent of his class, Caleb was also captain of the cross country team and was on the tennis team, student council and involved in other organizations. "He's going to be very successful," Ladson said. The process was not an easy one with Caleb being among the 1,000 of those accepted to the academy this year out of 13,000 applicants. "It requires a candidate to be driven and on track from day one of their freshman year," said Ladson. Applicants for the academy typically have to be nominated by a U.S. senator or congressman. Caleb was nominated for the academy by Congressman James E. Clyburn, a Sumter native. Caleb said he owes a lot of his success to his parents, John Elms and Julie Carter, who pushed him to excel. "It was a very difficult process to be accepted into the academy," he said. "It took a lot of diligence and work to get to this point. I want to thank my parents for always pushing me to be the best that I can be and my brother for guiding me as well." Caleb's ultimate goal is to become a combat pilot in the Air Force.
