To be a Cadet is to be your best self. Being a Cadet means working together as a family to create an experience that will excite and inspire others. We push one another to be the best by holding on to tradition, embracing what is new, and loving one another unconditionally. It is truly wonderful to be a Cadet.

Being a Cadet means being a part of a family. It takes a special type of person to be a Cadet. The hard work, determination, and constant pursuit of perfection that all great Cadets have creates a bond like no other. Once you are a Cadet, you are a Cadet for life.

Being a Cadet means constantly pursuing excellence on and off the field. It means waking up everyday with the mindset of being better than yesterday. It means sacrificing what you want to do to be perfect at what you NEED to do. Ultimately, it means being the best at everything you do no matter what.

A true Cadet makes themselves better for the GROUP. A Cadet will always give a little extra on the rough days. It’s holding everyone accountable for this one job, with this one group. Being a Cadet is persevering, supporting, and, most importantly, loving those people on and off the field. A true Cadet never gives up, not even when no one else is around to support you, watch you succeed, or see all the time you put in off the clock. You do it because you know one day it will be your last and you do not want any regrets.

To me, being a Cadet is hard work and determination. It is “cranking” every day in the summer with your best friends. Being a Cadet is tradition and family. The support that the alumni have for us is absolutely incredible and is something you can’t find anywhere else. To be a Cadet means holding yourself to a certain standard and pushing yourself to be the best you can be for yourself and the rest of the corps.
