This environment provides an ideal opportunity for cadets to understand the total ramifications of leadership and experience that leadership in a working laboratory of challenges, rewards and consequences. They begin to earn other privileges such as additional furloughs, promotions, academic accolades, varsity letters and scholarships. Ultimately they achieve a new found respect for themselves while learning the value of teamwork, motivation and personal integrity within the camaraderie of the Corps. Cadets are expected to persistently apply themselves in developing desirable leadership qualities and personal skills in human relations and managerial techniques. Do Your Best, and Treat Others as You Would Like to be Treated.
Self discipline is a prerequisite for integrity and essential to the exercise of responsibility.
We demand a cadet be capable and willing to make difficult choices, to take the whole truth over the half truth, the harder right over the easier wrong. Each time a cadet makes this decision, it requires wrestling within to ultimately do what's right - even when no one is watching. Cadets who are successful in these areas will graduate as leaders of character as demonstrated by trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, caring, fairness and citizenship. The end product is a multi-faceted individual who is disciplined, goal oriented and has learned to balance leadership, academics, athletics, spiritual growth and character development with compassion, caring and concern. They have proven themselves in leadership positions within the Corps and are prepared for continued leadership within community, military or corporate environments.
