Welcome friends, family and alumni of the U.S. Army Cadet Corps (USAC) and the Millersburg Military Institute (MMI). Today we celebrate not only a successful kick-off of the 2009 Annual Training, but also the fusion of two great programs rich in history and tradition. We are sincerely proud to maintain the legacy of COL C.M. Best and the prestigious 113 year history of MMI, while we forge the future with USAC under the wisdom and leadership of BG Charles R. Tornow. These institutions will provide a platform in which to train and develop youth into considerate, confident and honorable members of society.
The Annual Training Battalion consists of highly motivated recruits, Cadets and adult non-paid professionals who serve as officers and noncommissioned officers. As recruits arrived on the historic campus, they were processed to ensure full accountability of each individual and their personal belongings. Male recruits will receive a "high and tight" haircut. Regardless of age, gender or ethnic background, each individual will encounter a high-adventure military experience equivalent to the challenges and rigors presented to our active duty and reserve counterparts. The safety and well-being of each person is of the utmost priority. Only the Army can create soldiers. Our intent is to provide an energetic, well-disciplined and fun environment conducive to excellence.
Thank you so much for the update and posting the photos. It helps as the parent of a new RCT to understand some of what they are going through starting with day 1.
