Are there opportunities to talk about cadet life with potential candidates?
The Grassroots Program, established in 1969, was designed for cadets to spread information about the Academy during their Thanksgiving vacation. On a voluntary basis, cadets give presentations to high schools in their hometowns, provide materials to newspapers, and arrange for interviews with TV and radio stations. This effort is still in progress, and shows local high school students successful Academy cadets while they are still in the commissioning process.
