Why did you enroll at MMA? I enrolled to the school because my parents and I thought it was the best decision for my future.

What is the most important thing so far you have learned at MMA? MMA has made me a disciplined, smart man and has pointed me towards a great path.

What advice do you have for new cadets? For those of you who are looking for a leadership position, do you what you can to get recognized, and participate in a lot of things at the school.

Cadet company commanders work closely with company leadership advisors and the cadet battalion commander. In addition to looking after the welfare of all cadets in their company, they are responsible for ensuring the cadets in their company abide by Academy rules, regulations, customs, and traditions. They establish company performance goals and take appropriate action to ensure their accomplishment, and they supervise, counsel, and train cadet company executive officers, first sergeants, and platoon leaders. Finally, they must exercise direct command and control over the company at all formations, ceremonies, activities, and events.
