Cadets: the junior reserve officers training corps of Fall Mountain Regional High School in Langdon New Hampshire - Hardcover
Synopsis
"Try, Try, Never Die, HOOAH!" Many students of Fall Mountain Regional High School in Langdon, New Hampshire, begin class with that yell every day, sometimes delivering it in military uniform. They are cadets in the Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps, JROTC, a U.S. Army-sponsored program. Its goal is not to turn children into soldiers, but to motivate them to become better citizens by teaching them military values Americans admire: service, honor, skill and leadership. Curious about the place of the military in American culture, Dutch photographer and journalist Ellen Kok followed the cadets for over two years. What do marching in formation, doing push-ups, shining uniform buttons, firing air rifles and addressing each other with "Sergeant" or "Captain" do for young people? Does it help them to cope with the challenges life throws at them, at home and in school? And will the Wildcat Battalion manage to keep its gold star of Honor Unit with Distinction? 72 color photographs, 49 pages text, 240x167 mm. Publisher: Uitgeverij Nederlicht/Netherlight Publishing.
"Try, Try, Never Die, HOOAH!"
Veel leerlingen van Fall Mountain Regional High School in Langdon, New Hampshire beginnen de schooldag met die kreet, soms in uniform. Ze zijn cadetten in het Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps, JROTC, een door het Amerikaanse leger gesponsord programma. Het is niet bedoeld om van kinderen soldaten te maken, maar ze betere burgers te laten worden door ze militaire waarden bij te brengen die Amerikanen bewonderen: eer, doorzettingsvermogen, leiderschap.
Fotojournalist Ellen Kok volgde de cadetten ruim twee jaar. Wat leren jongeren van marcheren, schieten en elkaar aanspreken met hun rang? Helpt het hen in het leven? En zal het Wildcat Battalion erin slagen zijn gouden ster te behouden?
