Basic Leader Course - Graduation

Congratulations to the Cadets of the Basic Leader Course (BLC)! BLC is a twenty-one day course of instruction for graduates of Basic Cadet Training (BCT). Graduation is the culmination of a Cadets effort and drive to train. Over the past three weeks, Cadets have enhanced their field knowledge, they have learned how to work as an integral part of the collective team, and they have applied troop leading procedures to organize and lead their peers. With their enhanced knowledge these Cadets will serve as mentors to new recruits and graduates of Basic Cadet Training.




Congratulations to Cadet: B.M Wolf on becoming the Honor Graduate
Congratulations to Cadets: A.M Herion, T.T Brown, C. Craig, J.N Lord, A. Royse, J.M.D. Weber, and D. MacDonald for being meritoriously promoted to their next rank.





The next phase of development for graduates of BLC is dependent upon their motivation and U.S. Army Cadet Corps career interests. One path includes the Cadet Non-commissioned Officer Course (CNCOC), which emphasizes strategic leadership, staff planning and coordinating activities at the unit and higher levels. Another path includes attending the Troop Handlers’ Academy, which prepares highly motivated Cadets to teach and lead new recruits. These are the more common career paths selected by graduates of BLC.

Following Annual Training, development is continuous for members of the U.S. Army Cadet Corps. Youth who participate in the program, are Cadets 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. They are a constant projection of the child you have raised and the Cadet organization they represent. We invite you to attend Winter Training 2009. This session will offer a Winter Challenge for Cadets, Recruit Orientation for new members of the program, and Officer Candidate School for adults. More information will be available soon.
