Happy 96th Birthday to all the ACA! April 2005 To the Officers, Cadets, and Recruits of the American Cadet Alliance, I have a few words to say. You should be proud of yourselves. You are a part of the oldest nationwide Cadet Corps in our great country. Each and every one of you are part of an ongoing legacy of Honor, Courage, and Commitment. These are our Core Values and the embodiment of the ACA. Continue reading

Back on the job - and in the news! April 2005 CadetStuff's own Shawn Stanford was featured in a recent article by the Northeast PA Business Journal. The article outlines the concerns of several Soldiers returning to civilian life after a year in Iraq. Shawn's habit of running off at the mouth snared him the lion's share of the article - no surprise there. And, again, welcome back, Soldier!

Know any Stuffers in the Box? May 2005 Because if you do, we want to know about it. We've already had several of our own do their part in Afghanistan, Iraq and Kuwait, and we'd like to set up a little something to honor them and those that are there now or are going soon. So, if that's you or someone you know, drop us a line, send us a picture and tell us what unit you're with and we'll put your mug on the site. And, hey, thanks a lot!

Exchange of Challenge Coins Comes Full Circle July 2005 For 15-year-old Colin Harper, the Army Cadet Corps of the American Cadet Alliance has taken him places he'd never imagined. The Cadet Sergeant, and acting First Sergeant of the Military Cadets of New England which drills monthly at Camp Fogarty, RI, has traveled to Puerto Rico, presented anti-drug presentations in the Pentagon, completed the ACA's NCO Leadership Development Academy, and stood side-by-side with Generals and Sergeants Major, all while wearing his uniform as an Army Cadet.

2008 CadetStuff Readership Survey February 2008 It's common knowledge that we have no idea what the heck we're doing. Most of the time we're using a 'magic article generator' that strings together paragraphs from women's magazines and celebrity gossip rags (with a little Weekly World News thrown in for good measure. So, why not help a brother out and tell us just what it is we should be doing, by taking the 2008 CadetStuff Readership Survey. It's only thirty questions and it should only take a couple minutes to complete. And thanks in advance for helping us make CadetStuff.org better!

Gear Up For Ghana February 2008 What I found there was thousands of incredibly enthusiastic cadets and some highly dedicated adults working hard to make a successful cadet program. I visited with cadets from as far south as Accra on the Gulf of Guinea to Tamale and the areas near the Burkino-Faso border. And I discovered cadets that enjoy intensive leadership training, drill and ceremonies, and who work on public service projects. Kinda like CAP. Who knew? Continue reading
