Key Take-Aways:
It’s also important to understand the military perspective of a Cadet, as well as the training, attitudes and skills that these individuals bring. Replicate a Cadet’s sense of purpose by publicizing your program’s values and purpose, and its culture. Our program has grown into a powerhouse that’s why skills meets of this magnitude gives our battalion whose mission, vision and culture they can feel good about joining. Especially when it comes to dependability, work ethic, loyalty, integrity and cultural diversity.
