The freshmen will be training for a week, learning how to use a rifle and all the essentials of being a cadet.
Upperclassmen are glad to be able to help the students transition. Â "It feels surreal, honestly, to be welcoming the freshmen, as a senior now, said Corps of Cadet member Tiffany Borden. Â "It feels like yesterday I was here a a freshman. Â My dad texted me today and said don't forget to say goodbye for the first time. Â Don't be afraid to hug a crying mom. Â It's awesome."
The incoming freshmen will have a parade next Saturday to show their parents what they have learned.
