Making It Easy & Fun
or Hard & Painful
for Your Cadet (and you)
More will be added to this section soon, including a full Sea Bag list, but there are a few things that you should note right up front that will make things better for everyone:
-
Good, properly sized SHOES (and appropriate socks), including sneakers, uniform dress, shower flip-flops and especially boots (there is A LOT of marching and running in boots), can make the difference between a great time and a terribly painful time for your cadet! This is listed first for a reason! Get your cadet the right shoes...or keep them home and save them the pain!
-
Don't kid yourself...or us. This training will be the most physically and psychologically demanding and challenging thing your cadet has ever done...by far! Your cadet will have enough to handle with the training alone...don't make their challenge harder.
-
Fully disclose any and ALL medical, psychological or physical conditions or limitations when registering.
-
Anything that could be an issue WILL be an issue under the stress and physical demands of the training. Just because [whatever it is] doesn't bother them in school or gym class, doesn't mean it won't be a problem at RT...it will!
-
Do not go away on vacation while your cadet is at Training. Be prepared to come to take your cadet home in the event of a medical or disciplinary issue. It is rare that a cadet needs to go home early, but it happens to at least one or two cadets, for a variety of reasons, during virtually every Training evolution.

Various Tips
&
FAQs
-
Any cadets or escort officers who may be flying into South Florida need to arrange transport to and from Eagle Academy in coordination with COTC no later than 30 days prior to the training date. Such transport cannot be guaranteed, so please confirm with COTC before registering or booking any flights. It is strongly preferred that Palm Beach International (PBI) airport be used for arrival and departure, though Fort Lauderdale (FLL) may also be possible.
