A very happy birthday to the US Air Force. We have some USAF vets in the IACC, and to them Happy Birthday Airman. Fly, Fight, Win!!!

Take some time today to remember. Some of us were just kids and some were ready to answer the nation's call. For some of those that did gave the ultimate sacrifice in defending so this wouldn't happen again. We at the IACC remember the victims, first responders of that day and afterwords those great men and women who worked round the clock trying to find survivors. 25 years later WE REMEMBER.

About the Iowa Cadet Corps

The Iowa Cadet Corps is a nonprofit, cadet-run program dedicated to providing young people with education and hands-on experiences focused on Leadership Education and Moral Development.

This is a cadet program, not a military recruitment program. We are looking for motivated young people ages 12–21 who want to develop leadership skills, discipline, confidence, teamwork, and personal responsibility.

We are also seeking senior members who are active-duty military personnel, veterans, or parents who would like to volunteer their time and experience to support our cadets.

What Cadets Learn

Through participation in the Iowa Cadet Corps, cadets have opportunities to develop skills in:

Teamwork and Leadership
Discipline and Self-Confidence
Military Rank Structure
Military Bearing
Drill, Customs & Courtesies
Uniform Wear and Appearance
Land Navigation Skills
Search and Rescue
First Aid
Weapon Safety
Marksmanship

The goal is to give cadets the knowledge, confidence, and character they need to become responsible, capable leaders and productive members of their communities.
