To honor its newest cadets, Marine Military Academy (MMA) held its Introductory Training Graduation on Sept. 14. Sixty new students, also known as “plebes,” officially graduated from their four-week introductory training and became official members of the MMA Corps of Cadets. Parents, siblings, and other family members from across the country and around the world attended this special event.
At the Introductory Training Graduation, the plebes took the official oath of an MMA cadet. Then they affixed the Marine Corps insignia to their covers (hats) and participated in the pass in review ceremony for the first time as full-fledged cadets. After the parade, the new cadets enjoyed their first weekend of liberty.
