General Cheney Rolls Out MMA’s Red Carpet

Following a grand lunch of soup of the day, Texas chili, buttered rice, broccoli normandy, assorted breads, a dozen or so dessert choices and a few Texas-sized gallons of cold non-carbonated beverages to wash it all down - all campers, ESL students, Cadet Instructors (CI’s) and Drill Instructors (DI’s) gathered in MMA’s Yeckel Auditorium…literally soaking up the welcome chill of the air conditioned environment.
MMA Commandant SgtMaj Kinsley addressed the large crowd, prompting and re-prompting campers and students on proper protocol in response to the impending speech by MMA President General Cheney, noting that campers had made an extremely favorable impression during early morning P.T. In fact, one outgoing camper running alongside of General Cheney inquired, “And who might you be?” As the General responded with, “Why, I’m the President of MMA…General Cheney,” the camper yelled out, “Hey, I’ve got the President here!” and high-fived the grinning General Cheney!
As General Cheney took the microphone, he was greeted by adamant “YES SIR!” by all in attendance. He welcomed the enthusiastic campers and students, ran through rules and regulations, and challenged all to have the greatest time of their lives, a summer they call be proud of when they return home to their families and friends. As he turned the microphone over to SgtMaj Kinsley, General Cheney received a huge “oorah!” bringing a great big smile to his face and a twinkle to his eyes.
Yes, it’s all UP-hill, blue skies and lots of Texas sunshine for these young men for the next four weeks…OORAH!!!
