    David M. Rodriguez
    General, U.S. Army

    David M. Rodriguez was born on 18 October 1954 in West Chester, PA.

    He graduated from West Chester Henderson High School (Pennsylvania) in 1972, where he was remembered as "a good student, not a great student," and a football defensive end who had issues with authority but also the potential to be an outstanding leader. Asked in 2010 how he got into the U.S. Military Academy with his lackluster grades, he replied, "It was 1972....I did good on tests."

    Upon graduating from West Point in 1976, he was commissioned a Second Lieutenant of Armor in the Army and spent the next three years in 1st Battalion, 61st Infantry, 5th Infantry Division (Mechanized), Fort Polk, LA. There he served as Rifle Platoon Leader in A Company from July 1977 to June 1978; as Scout Platoon Leader in the Combat Support Company from June 1978 to January 1979; as Motor Officer from January 1979 to June 1979; and as Executive Officer of the Combat Support Company from June 1979 to May 1980.
