Micah Villarreal has entered Basic Cadet Training at the U.S. Air Force Academy, Colorado Springs, Colo.,
in preparation to enter the first academic year at the academy. The six-week, two-phased orientation
program must be successfully completed by the cadets prior to their freshman year.
The training prepares men and women to meet the rigorous mental and physical challenges
experienced by new cadets.
Phase 1 involves personal in-processing, orientation, and training in the fundamentals of being a cadet.
Cadet trainees are prepared to adjust from civilian to military life and disciplines. The trainees learn proper
wear of the uniform, saluting policies and procedures, drill and ceremony, marching and living quarters
standards.
During Phase 2, cadets train outdoors living in tents while learning to function in field conditions. Cadets
apply and practice teamwork and cohesion and learn to deal with physically and mentally demanding
situations.
They complete the obstacle, confidence, assault, and leadership reaction courses, and participate in a
rescue mission termed Operation Warrior.
Villarreal is the son of Michael and Sara Villarreal of Ridgecrest.
