The Crucible The MMA Corps of Cadets officially welcomed its new recruits on Sept. 26, 2020, following completion of the Crucible. The Crucible is a series of physical and mental obstacles intended to test endurance and perseverance, emphasize succeeding as a team and build self-confidence. By encouraging cadets to push themselves harder than their perceived limits, they realize a new level of their own potential. The fall 2020 Crucible included a physical training test, a six-mile hike, a three-mile obstacle trail run, a paintball battle, an obstacle course and a river-crossing exercise conducted in MMA’s Olympic-sized swimming pool.
2 Legacy Cadets Honored The Senior Ring Dinner in October recognized legacy cadets and their alumni family for their continued commitment to MMA’s mission, core values and timehonored traditions. Legacy cadets received a legacy pin, symbolizing the family’s continued history at MMA.
