How it works!

The Army Cadet Program has 5 levels of training that we call "Star Levels". When you first join our program, you will

be placed in Green star. This is the level where we teach you all the basics about the program. Every year, you will move up a level by completing the training for your level. After Green, there is Red, Silver, Gold and then Master Cadet.
