Entry age was 13 or 6th grade. Which is something not often mentioned in the comparative
discussions between "Then" and "Now". 13 means a more mature cadet day one, and homeschooling
was not nearly the factor it was when they removed the "or 6th grade" exemption.
"Airline Discounts" - imagine.

I was cadets with the female cadet in the lower right corner of the first page. Either they were using really old photography (we had switched to BDUs by 1992) or this brochure is the one from the late 1980s. I know for a fact she wasn't a cadet after about 1986.
92 is my conjecture - the senior brochure has 92 in the form code, and this one was in the same envelope.
Could well be much earlier for both.
Sitting on the grass with blues on? :o
I remember this brochure. Ah, memories of the good ol' days.
If I remember correctly, it came out in the late 80s and was still being printed/distributed in the early 1990s, but I believe there was another that came out around 1993/1994.

Heck that's OK. I remember the one we were using had Jerry Lewis on the cover wearing CAP khakis and talking to two cadets. If I remember correctly we had to be 14 to join. At least I was and a freshman in high school.

Oh yeah. This was one of two brochures that help get me hooked when I joined in 1987. The other one had a blue outline of a cadet with a beret (from NBB) hanging from both hands from a rope. Those two brochures sealed the deal!
That was the brochure that recruited me in Oct of 1989.
