Bravo Returns •.. as Honor Company Returning as Honor Company, Captain Gary Micko, his staff, and his troops want to win again. They see a repetition of that recog- nition over the horizon and are running hard toward it, confident that they’re best-drilled, have the battalion’s sharpest uniforms, and boast the corps’ highest morale. “ ‘B’ Company is the ground floor of CMA, down to earth and very easy going,” according to Craig Moyer. These lads look at CMA life from a perspective that everyone has a job to do and he does it. They’re very laid back, not allowing things to get to them. If they lose a phase, they don’t get upset or pout, but take it in stride and get to work for the next round. “B” men hang tough, confident they’re BEST. (Above) Staff.

Powerhouse ... is Charlie Company Known on campus as POWERHOUSE, a sobriquet bestowed by graduating classes past, “C” Company is literally “on top” of MB,” up- stairs in the new dorm where the breeze is always coming in the windows, adjacent and accessible to Carlisle House, and boasting an unparalleled airport view. Prejudiced though he may be, a company member stated: “When one of the boys from ‘C’ Company walks across the campus, cadets stop and say to themselves, ‘I wish I could be in ‘C Company.’ ” JP Hill says, “We’re a proud group of guys, living as a family in the second story. We work together to accomplish the daily tasks we have to perform.” They are a proud, tight organization which Captain Ubaldo “Pu” Acosta leads and whose mem- bers eat, sleep, work, sweat, laugh and cry, shave, shower, and perform other varying functions, all in very close quarters. “C” excels in leadership and in fellowship, and, in the latter department, everyone puts out to succeed as a team. POWERHOUSE has pride.
