National Cadet Team
We are a youth development practice comprised of full-time paid and part-time unpaid professionals working together to serve today's cadets. Team members include educators, aviators, retired military, other professionals, and cadet alumni. Our office is nominally located in Montgomery, Alabama, on Maxwell Air Force Base, but all paid and volunteer staff serve from their homes, located all across the nation.
