All That
He Can Be

Ravitz did not know he wanted
to go to Army until his senior year
of high school.

t takes a lot of heart and hard
work to play the great sport of
football. Practices, games and
training are grueling, and only a
select few have the dedication to
play.
A lot of that also is true for serv-
ing in the Army. Devotion and
hard-work are prerequisites, as it
to be all you can be.
What can be tougher than play-
ing football or being in the Army?
Playing football at Army.
This month I interview #71 , Neil
Ravitz, a Jewish starting offensive
lineman at Army. You have to
respect the dedication and effort
he puts in, and for that he is
admired by his teammates, friends
and family.
"I started play-
ing football in 5th
grade," Ravitz
said. "I always
wanted to play.
As long as I can
remember, my
Dad was taking
me to college
and high school
games."
Ravitz knew
then that he was
destined to play
football. Showing
unbelievable ded-
ication at a young age, Ravitz
played four years in a local
midget league, then four years at
Blue Mountain High School in a
small town in the coal regions of
Pennsylvania called Schuylkill

"I did not decide to come to
West Point until I came here on a
recruiting trip during second seme =
ter of my senior year," Ravitz said.
"I really liked West Point for two
reasons. The first was that it pro-
vided me the opportunity to play
big-time college football, which
was a dream of mine. Second,
West Point makes you sacrifice a
lot and work very
hard, but you will
have job security
and be set for
life."
Ravitz soon
learned that col-
lege ball was a
lot more difficult
than high-school
ball. He also
learned what it
meant to be in the
Army. He worked
harder than he
had ever worked
before, and it
paid off.
"I always played defensive line
in high school and a little bit of
offensive line. I was recruited at
West Point to be a defensive line-
man, but then I got converted to
an offensive lineman after my fresh-
