Green Star Training

 

Green Star Training is designed to teach a new recruit the basics of cadet life. The Green Star course has a greater emphasis on drill than any other star level. All of the most common drill movements are taught in this course. The aspects of the Green Star Course include:

PO 401  Drill - a cadet will learn how to properly execute basic drill movements;
