The Alamo Battalion is hosting the Petty Officer Leadership Academy this week, and what could be more appropriate than a trip to the Alamo. Twenty cadets from New Jersey to California came to the Alamo City to make the transition from Sea Cadet followers to Sea Cadet leaders. They studied a variety of subjects to prepare them for their anticipated promotions to leadership billets in their home units, learned from the experience of Army and Marine Corps combat veterans, and had fun practicing marksmanship, small boating, and doing lots of PT.
