Why do most young men attend MMA?
The Corps of Cadets at MMA is comprised of young men from different cultural, economic, social, and academic backgrounds. Some young men come to MMA with aspirations to one day attend a prestigious university or service academy, others come because they especially enjoy a structured, military environment. Others attend MMA because of the parents’ determination to give their sons the best possible opportunities for a successful future. MMA is not for everyone. It is not an alternative for juvenile detention or students who are involved with juvenile authorities. It is a structured, disciplined, and motivating environment where the staff expects the best effort from every Cadet. Perhaps instead of “why do most young men attend MMA” a better question might be “What kind of person leaves MMA?
