MMA offers the Nation’s first and one of the only Summer JROTC Programs where students receive a full high school elective credit. During the five-week program, students complete 180 hours of Leadership Education and Training (LET). This year, MMA will offer JROTC first and second year (LET levels I and II). The third year (LET III) may be added if there is sufficient interest.

The LET courses provide a progressive leadership and citizenship development program that is recognized for its excellence by the United States service academies and the finest universities. Adding JROTC leadership to a high school transcript sets a college applicant apart from other high school students.

The Summer JROTC Program provides exceptional opportunities for young men and young women to gain valuable experience learning to lead and learning to follow. Program participants gain self-confidence as leaders and active team members. The JROTC cadets become leaders in the summer Corps of Cadets, enabling them to put what they learn into practice.

Cadets who return for the summer program each summer receive increased leadership opportunities and responsibilities. Qualified cadets who complete all four levels may receive nominations from the Academy to one of the service academies or for ROTC scholarships.

The LET credit may be applied at MMA, at any other JROTC program, or as an elective credit at most high schools.

Join the Corps of Cadets

Cadets new to the Academy may complete the New Cadet training and testing. The summer training and testing allows cadets to return to the Academy in the fall with full privileges. Exceptional summer cadets may even earn rank and be invited to the fall Cadet Leadership Training in preparation for the school year.
