Graduation Day

Congratulations to the Cadets of the 2009 Basic Cadet Training Session #2! In order to earn the title Cadet, recruits must demonstrate the physical endurance and mental toughness befitting of an individual wearing the uniform of the United States Armed Forces. These challenges are designed to propel them through life with confidence and commitment to success. A Cadet in the United States Army Cadet Corps represents the willingness to make sacrifices and the fidelity to country, exhibited by the men and women who serve selflessly in our military.




Recruit Training is designed to create basically trained Cadets, capable of performing drill and ceremony and implementing military customs and courtesies. As newly indoctrinated Cadets, they move on to the next phase of training and personal development. The majority of Cadets will continue on to the Basic Leader Course, where they will gain practical knowledge in troop leading procedures and field training exercises.

Over the next year, all Cadets will work toward earning rank, ribbons, and awards for physical fitness, academic achievement, volunteer service, and by delivering Drug Demand Reduction presentations to their peers.

Basic Cadet Training #2 - Day 13

Today was the final day of evaluations for our recruits. They were tested to ensure they possess the basic knowledge required of a newly sworn Cadet. The first test measured physical strength, endurance, and stamina. In the afternoon, recruits were evaluate on their knowledge of military customs and courtesies, history of the U.S. Army Cadet Corps, drill and ceremony, rank and promotions, and much, much more!
