The Regiment of Midshipmen provided a leadership team that introduced the JROTC cadets to the Academy’s campus, managed activities, and conducted training exercises. According to Assistant Director of Admissions Ross Cottrell, the weekend is an “opportunity for MMA cadets to work together to gain a solid practical foundation for running their RPT experience in the fall.”
As a part of the event, the Maine Army National Guard landed a UH60 Blackhawk helicopter at Ft. George, just above campus. The Guard also ran an obstacle course called the Chamberlan Challenge, which challenges cadets’ leadership, comradery, perseverance, and ingenuity.
