Families Can Now Email Cadets




Parents, family members, friends and Mentors can now send an email to Cadets.  We also encourage anyone who is interested in giving positive encouragement to all of our other cadets, you can send them emails addressed to Any Cadet in any Platoon.  Not all of our cadets get email or mail.   We also encourage you to talk to your cadet and see if they have any suggestions on cadets in their platoons that might need an encouraging word.  We will ensure that they also get emails addressed to them. The email address is vachallenge@gmail.com.  Please include the cadet’s full name (or put Any Cadet) and platoon number in the subject line.  These emails are screened for appropriateness (language and positive content) and delivered to Cadets daily.  Questionable emails will not be delivered.  Cadets are unable to answer these emails, but enjoy reading them.  If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call or email the MISO at the above email address.
