2015 Mar 25

Army and Navy Academy recognizes Matthew Kim of Carlsbad, who has officially achieved Cadet status after completion of Plebe Training. His accomplishment was acknowledged during the New Cadet Recognition Ceremony held on March 22, 2015.

"Plebe" is the official term for a first year Cadet at the United States Military Academy at West Point and the United States Naval Academy, as well as at the Army and Navy Academy. During Kim's Plebe Training at ANA, he learned the school's history and traditions, the alma mater, and armed and unarmed drill. He was tested on all subjects, and officially promoted to Cadet after passing the assessment.

Once named a Cadet, Kim is able to move up through the Academy's leadership program.

"We are pleased to welcome these young men into the Army and Navy Academy Corps of Cadets," said COL Kevin Batule, USA (Ret.), Commandant of Cadets. "They have demonstrated their commitment to the Cadet Corps and to striving for leadership excellence."
