Our academic team consists of a team of 4 cadets and 2 alternates. We have an additional team that competes as well if we have enough cadets. We have 3 levels. In level I we compete against schools from our county and have to place in the top 3 to advance to level II. In level II we compete against schools from cross the nation and if we place in the top 32 we advance to level III. In level III we compete against the top 32 schools. We get an all expenses paid for trip to Washington D.C. for 5 days. If we win we compete in a joint service branch competition against each of the winners from each branch on live TV.
