Cadet life

Cadets are awakened at 6:00 AM every weekday morning. Their rooms inspected to exacting standards, and the cadets then report to the first formation of the day. During this first formation, the cadets are divided according to their assigned company and platoon. During the formation, they stand at attention, as the U.S. and school colors are raised. Afterwards, they march into the mess hall. After breakfast, the cadets report to their first five 40-minute classes. Classes vary in size, but usually average 12 students to a class. Classes are all located within the same building, except for band and JROTC, a leadership and military education training program. After morning classes, the students form up for the lunch formation.

During the lunch formation, the students stand at attention, much like the breakfast formation. Unlike breakfast formation, the cadets march in to the mess hall amidst a drumline cadence. During the march, each company is judged and the company that marches the best is then announced. After lunch, the cadets have two more classes. After the afternoon classes, all cadets participate in different sports which range from traditional such as football and wrestling, to the more military-focused, such as rifle marksmanship. Once sports have concluded, the cadets report to a third formation, where the colors are lowered.

After their final meal of the day, the cadets report to their barracks for study hours, which are monitored to make sure all cadets are on task and working efficiently. Taps is at 10:00 PM when all cadets go to sleep, to prepare for another day.

On the weekends, most cadets are allowed to have almost free roam of the campus. All are allowed to sleep in until 10:00 AM and can use the extensive facilities, such as the nine-hole golf course. Other weekend recreational events include paintball, movies, trips to the mall and area businesses and the use of Mouso hall, the recreation center. Going off campus is restricted to cadets of certain rank. However, most will be able to participate in this during the year. First-year cadets don't usually get the privileges of second year cadets, otherwise known as "Old-boys".
