A Melting Pot of Cadetting at the National Cadet Trainng Center in Millersburg, Kentucky


I am sometimes amazed by the diversity of the Cadets and recruits who travel to Millersburg, Kentucky (population 863) to attend training at Forest Hill Station.   Just today, we have had readers of this blog from the countries of:
  • Russia
  • China
  • United Kingdom
  • Columbia
  • Germany
  • Belgium
  • Australia
  • Canada
  • Guatemala
Additionally, we have Cadets and recruits from Alaska, Florida, New York, California, Colorado and all over the United States.  Just to show the diversity of the readership, please post a comment to this entry with your country or state.

Not only are your Cadets and recruits learning about the Army Values of Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity and Personal Courage...they are also learning how small the world is by sharing a bit of their lives with young people from throughout the globe.  

"Good Stuff!"

Hooah!

  7. My son, Ben Clarke, is in the Cadet Ranger Challenge - his second year in the summer program at Millersburg, We live in Pennsylvania, and Ben is Vietnamese. Ben has always been interested in a military career, and this program gives him a chance to experience the lifestyle first hand in a safe way. Thanks, Lt. Land, for all the pictures and the updates. I really look forward to them.

  10. My son is from Utica, MI. This is his first time in Kentucky and I can't wait to hear the stories when he comes back. My husband just became a Specialist Instructor as well and it is his first time during the AT Training but he spent some time down there in February.
