My high school has a program that was started 3 years ago - it's name is Delta. It stands for Dedication, Excellence, Leadership, Training, & Academics. It's an officially recognized program operated under the ARNG and is led by Major General Ike Pilot, former Mississippi Assistant State Adjutant. I've been in the program since it's beginnings, and I'm now it's CSM. We technically aren't populated enough for the current ranks to be legitimate in comparison to their real-world standings, but we're recruiting aggressively. So far, we've expanded the program into 2 different schools, and we're assisting another school this summer so as to prepare their new program for the upcoming school year.
We train all our cadets in D&C, Tactics, Physical Fitness, & General Military Knowledge. We recently held our 2nd annual "Delta Summer Trip" and learned a great deal in it's entirety. All cadets that attended were required to assemble, disassemble, and clean the standard Army M16A2, which all cadets successfully completed. We're also proud to say that we were trained in general weapons knowledge and use with the M16A2, M14, M1 Garand, BAR, M60, Thompson, & .30 Cal.
Anyways, please excuse the lengthy post but I'm trying to abide by the stickies and post some information about myself so that whoever I speak with won't be ignorant to whom they're speaking with. If anyone has any questions what-so-ever, feel free to ask!

Zach:
You assume too much, young Jedi. You are not a CSM, you are not Delta, you are not an 18E, and you probably shouldn't be using the SF motto as your own. Plenty of time for that later, after you have accomplished something and earned it.
I recommend that you not post again for several months, especially not to ask ridiculous questions, and that you let me know what you would like your new user ID to be, since you are not a future anything yet, and we explain that in the rules and stickies.
Best of luck.
