An 8-9 week period of adjustment. It establishes the baseline standards and provides each new cadet with the basic information and skills that he will need to be successful at MMA. This training phase fosters esprit-de-corps, motivation, pride and serves as a rite of passage into the Corps of Cadets.
New cadet training is not intended to be a stressful environment, but a period where seasoned cadet leaders, through patience and example, assimilate new cadets into the daily functions and traditions of the Corps. The Maroon Phase will end when a cadet demonstrates proficiency in understanding the Cadet Handbook and can successfully complete the Crucible.
Of note:
- No authorized general leave or cell phone privileges during this phase.
- New Cadets may Zoom, Skype or send personal emails using issued laptops.
