Who makes up our staff

Our Staff is made up of cadets ranging from Airman to the high rank of Colonel. They are strong and dependable members of our Cadet Corps and many of them are also in our award winning Drill Team and Color Guard. Everything you need to learn for your staff job is taught to you with on-the-job training, so we welcome all who can accept the challenge. It is a tough but very rewarding course to do.

What we do

Our staff has the job of running the Corps as a cadet run group. This means from Freshman to Seniors they lead and make the decisions for the group. Our instructors simply teach us what we need to know and help us up when we fall but after that it is our staff that run everything, this even includes the class the cadets are in.

What guides us
