---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Corps of Cadets has had other competition teams
throughout its history. Rifle and Pistol teams
participated and won many competitions on their days.
If enough cadets are interested, the PMS will consider
establishing new teams. However, ACADEMICS is the
first priority, teams cannot interfere with a cadet's
academic time.
