This program serves as a great first step from middle school to high school. Students participate in core subjects; study skills improvement, leadership traits, principles and styles, drill and ceremonies; physical fitness and health; weapons safety and marksmanship training; military organizations and equipment, land navigation and military history. There is no military obligation associated with participation in this program. However, if desired, students may enter military service with the advanced rank of E2 (private first class).
