A HISTORIC Event!

Staff members and Cadets of the U.S. Army Cadet Core were invited to join The Daughters of the American Revolution Monday afternoon, to explain what exactly this program is all about, as well as rally supporters for Forest Hill Military academy.

 Our Cadets were very impressive for such young ages. Cadet SGT Riley (15), along with Cadet CPL Strange (15), and Cadet PFC John (17), gave the protectors of our Nation's history a small taste of what the Commonwealth of Kentucky will enjoy as Forest Hill Military Academy opens up in the fall. COL Land ( USAC Chief of staff) was very pleased with the outcome as these future leaders exemplified integrity,good manners, and respect towards their fellow Americans.

However, the Journey for our Army Cadets is far from over, as we have a ton of interesting activities planned ahead of them. Stay tuned for more action!

GEAR UP! DUTY CALLS!

The wait is over. The United States Army Cadet Corps has begun Annual Training 2012. Within the next seven weeks, Cadets and recruits from across the world will travel to the National Cadet Training Center (NCTC) in Millersburg, KY.

Saturday, the 16th of June, USAC kicked off AT 2012 with the arrival of seasoned Cadets enrolled in the week-long Troop Handler and Patrolmen Academies.

By the end of the Troop Handler Academy (THA), these Cadet leaders will have all the necessary tools to turn recruits into U.S. Army Cadets.  The Cadet Patrolman Academy (CPA) Cadets will be learning to use basic law enforcement skills, ensuring "good order and discipline" at the NCTC. All of this is in preparation for over 150 recruits arriving this Sunday! 

We have a great summer ahead of us.  Watch this blog for regular updates as the summer progresses.
