U.S Army Cadet Corps

Life in the U.S Armed Forces provides an exciting outlook on your future while gaining experience, responsibility, discipline, and knowledge that would be difficult to obtain elsewhere. The Armed Forces provides all of those plus job stability in an otherwise unstable economy. Even though it can be challenging, the U.S Army Cadet Corps is will give cadets the tools needed to have a successful career as a soldier.

Qualifications to Become a Cadet

The U.S. Army Cadet Corps (USAC) offers equal opportunity to all American youth to participate regardless of race, color, religion, creed or gender.  USAC membership criteria, in part, requires that all prospective Cadets meet the following minimum standards:

1.  Approval of their parents / legal guardians

2.  Citizens of the United States (waivers may be granted)

3.  Attained their 12th birthday, or have started the 6th grade, but not yet reached their 18th birthday.  (The absolute minimum age to enroll is 11, regardless of school grade)

4.  Unmarried and a full-time student (which includes home-schooled students and those who are enrolled in a work study program) in good academic standing and of good moral character

5.  Prepared to attend regularly scheduled Unit Training Assemblies, as well as Annual Training each summer

6.  Pass a qualifying physical examination upon enrollment and prior to Annual Training each summer

The USAC is a career-exploration program, providing young people with a very realistic view of Army life.  Statistically, 65% of those Cadets who stay in USAC 18+ months have gone into the Armed Forces.  Most importantly, a young person must want to become a Cadet.  Under no circumstances will USAC accept a recruit who is court-ordered into the program, or forced by their parents to participate.
