Mountaineer Cadet Officer Leadership School, otherwise known as "MCOLS" is a rigorous one-week camp for all high school students enrolled in a JROTC program with a high school in any of the South Eastern states. Cadets from as far as Missouri and as close as next door have come to attend this camp. Cadets are put through a very rewarding program which tests their limits and pushes them farther than they thought they could have gone. On Sunday, a group of scared young kids come to the University, and by the end-of-program parade on Saturday, a group of responsible, fit, confident young adults marches out of the football stadium to tearfully say goodbye to their new friends.
To teach the Air Force Corps Values; to improve cadets' leadership abilities; to improve cadets' marching; to improve cadets' physical fitness; to produce the next generation of fine young leaders.
