The Ventura Military Explorers (VME) is a program for youth between the ages of 12 and 18 years, who believe they are interested in a career or education in the United States Military Service. General goals are to help prepare cadets for all careers in the military . A more specific objective is to help young people prepare for entry into a military service academy, ROTC program or OCS. VME goals include the development of leadership, self discipline, morals, character, teamwork, customs and courtesies, color guard, drill, navigation, and field skills. VME seeks those looking for an alternative to the ordinary.

 

 

Text Box: For many VME cadets who attended boot camp this was the first time they had ever set up a shelter half tent. Cadets remained in the field overnight as part of their week long introduction to the basics of military life.
