Due to weather conditions, we are going to postpone tonights movie night. Office staff will announce a new date in the near future.

Good evening everyone,

All cadets are required to RSVP to our Holiday Mess Dinner on December 13th. There is no cost to this event, and all cadets are expected to attend. We are only asking for RSVP for numbers and dietary restrictions.
