Contracting
2007

All great journeys begin with a single step and contracting is no different. Students who decide to accept the army as a career, enter into a world of limitless opportunities, which will develop them as leaders and as members of the community at large. By raising their right hand, a cadet accepts responsibility to honor those who have sacrificed before them and to uphold the Army values.
