Formal Inspection At Missouri Military Academy, Formal Inspection is an annual event. Year in and year out, it stands out as the busiest day of the year. In the week leading up to the actual event, the corps of cadets modify their schedules so as to polish rifles, drill, and study up for possible ques­ tions. On the eve of inspection, the cadets spend the vast majority of the day working whole-heartedly to clean their rooms to perfection.

When the morning finally comes for the inspection team to critique the overall appearance and progress of the Academy, everyone is prepared for the worst possible scenario. In the end, getting recognized as an honor unit with distinction acts as a means for unifying the corps. To cadets the gold star is a token of the hard work and effort it takes to be the best.

Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is a special weekend at MMA where mothers and sons can bond together prior to graduation. Cadets cherish having a special weekend to spend precious time with their mothers and reminisce about the past few months. Mothers Day Weekend for 2001 was May 12-13th. Sunday at 9am was the annual flower pinning service. A very emotional service for the corps and their mothers because the cadets wear the flowers in honor of their mothers.

In the mind of the Corps of Cadets “Mothers Day” weekend is one of the better weekends of the year at the Academy.

Richard P. Beckwith II “Rick” Well even though I wouldn’t have thought the day would come that I would graduate. It did and quite successfully.

Now my quote isn’t going to include all the fun and funny things about friends, they all know that the love is there and the memo­ ries, and there isn't enough room. I must thank just a few of the many people who were involved with my success.

then, “Now that it’s over, I am glad I did it."

But in all honesty, we are all appreciative.

I would like to give thanks to my parents and family for there unconditional love and support. I would like to recognize Mary, a wonderful girl in my life, who helped me get through the year on a happy note.

My teachers here at MMA deserve big thanks for their effort to help me with all my success here at MMA. And last but certainly not least some very important friends that were like brothers to me. Chad Lawson, Michael Cope, Eddie Hanewinkle, Alex Moden, Chris Free, Max Frederickson, Robert White, and the list could go on and on. They all contributed.

Now I would like to leave all of you a little quote that has helped me come to grips with reality: “In school, we are taught a lesson and then given a test, But in life we are tested and then taught a lesson.”

Thanks to all that helped lead the way to success!

Humberto Calderon Zuniga “Hyena” I want to give thanks to God for letting me fin­ year take it because I promise that you will ish high school here at MMA. I also want to thank want to be back before it is too late.

Remember that here is the safest place my family for all of their support. I want to say thanks to my friends that were with me all these where you can study. Thanks to the all the years, including those who didn’t make it. I would faculty that guided me, and that were there when I needed them. like to name you all but I wouldn’t finish.

Para todos los cadetes internacionales, For those who have a chance to come back next recuerden que entrar a mi casa es igual de facil que entrar a mi cuarto de MMA. Los esperare en Victoria, Tamaulipas.

Clayton (I like these faculty dp’s), Paul (Chinese food, nice

Some faculty that paved a smooth path for me, LTC Gillette, for the advice, support & being a “mentor" for all those years. CSM Williams, thank you for the wise advice and the clippings. MAJ Twells (wrestling coach and at last that steak dinner). MAJ McClarey (interesting class & for making the running less painful?) LT Daugherty (quill & scroll?) MAJ Baum para el cuatro anos de espanol y los cacahuates. CPT Munson (whaaat those checks don't matter).

To the class of 2001, May all your hopes and dreams in life come true.

Bradley W. Coleman “Bradleoc” I have a question.. .If people can name their kids Jesus, could I get away with naming my kid God. or perhaps Satan? Just a thought I've been kicking around. Anyway, it’s finally lime for me to move on. It’s really kind of sad, but oh well; everything changes over time I sup­ pose.

To those I leave behind, I would like to say good-bye and wish you all good luck. There's not a whole lot I can say except the usual. I’d like to say thank you to all of my friends here at MMA. Since I can't name you all, (word limit) I'll assume that you know who you are.

It was an honor and pleasure to have known you. You could almost say that it justifies ev­ erything I’ve been through here, almost.

I’d like to thank my family who's high ex­ pectations kinda forced me to succeed. But hey, whether it's a carrot in front of your face or a guy with a pitchfork at your back, it’s all the same at the finish line, right? Thanks guys!

To my brother Matthew, graduate of MMA and salutatorian, HA HA! I finally beat you at something! Valedictorian baby! See Ya!

On my 3 years at the Academy I learned many things, but the two most important things that I learned is that “Life is not Easy” and how to value things, especially my Family and Friends.

During the time that I spent at MMA I have great moments and also some really hard days, but I hope that everything that I learned here will help me in real life.

Luke Kennyson Gosnell “Gozy” Well, it was definitely a long, hard trip. At many times I wondered why I was at M.M.A., but I’ve al­ ways known this was the place I should be, and I know I made the right decision. There is no way I could have made it through were it not for god, my family and friends who were always there for me.

Now, for all my friends at MMA, You guys are like no other friends I ever had. We have built a brother­ hood of a friendship that will last a lifetime. Pilcher, (P.P.C.), Cardin (... and cookies), Hooke, (shower af­

William Anthony Gruenewald “Tony” They say there are awards for such things. Little did I know that longevity counts for so much. I was so young when I first saw the campus, I didn't know what longevity was. Some have wondered, including myself at times, how one cadet can spend two life times at Missouri Military Academy It was sunny and very cold in January of 1994 when I arrived. I hadn’t seen that much snow before. I am not sure why my folks chose the middle of winter to transfer me from the warmth of Phoenix to the chill of Missouri. I didn't know your eyeballs could freeze. I am sure it was for the best, - the move to Missouri, that is!

They say I am a lot smarter now than I was, and ready to take my next step in my education, as a result of that move so long ago. Everyone would agree I am a lot bigger.

First impressions are always the most lasting. As a senior looking back on the fifth grade, it was the in-processing of those first few days at MMA that stick in my mind. I remember well the long lines in the QM, that was then housed in the basement of the old “Charlie" Barracks.

That first night on campus, someone awakened me by shining a flashlight in my face. I remember saying just a little too loudly. “Hey, - turn that off! People are trying to sleep!" But. it was okay; it was the late night watchman making sure I was okay. Except for those first few days. I remember little of my first two years. The school must have kept its promise to my parents; - to keep me busy.

All of us in the Class of 2001 have made our fair share of mistakes. Most of us learned from them, and learned to say to ourselves, “That was stupid," and moved on with our lives.

Some of us have barely made a ripple on the pond. Some of us have made a big splash. All of us have affected the quality of the school, and the quality of each others' lives through our friendships.

Success is best shown when others want to hang around us. Some of us will become rich and powerful. Some of us will lead quiet lives. All of us have been given the success of our friendships to begin us, - as the MMA brochures says, “On our own pathway to success!"

Good luck to all of us in the Class of 2001; truly the Millenium Class!

“It was as fun as falling off a log backwards” - MAJ Ableman.

At times I hated MMA. The only way to get through this school is to do what you are told, never get too caught up in the lust for rank, focus on your friends, and to play sports. One should never get caught up in the system. A few people I would like to say thanks to are Richard Salazar, Moden, Hoppenrath. Deetz (be strong man). Wood, Hobbs. Kamer (Viva Los Vegas), “Ballerstein, Long (how’s hot stuff), and Calderon and Charvie (you two alway inspired).

I also would like to give one last salute to a few faculty. SGT Norfus (you always believed in me), MAJ Treadway (you always had a song), and MAJ Ableman (you inspired me), and LTC Campbell.

Here, your friends are not just friends, they are your ‘’brothers”.

Mom. Dad. I knew I wouldn’t disappoint you.

Now 1 can say that I did my best, and accom­ plished my goals. Because of you, a learned that life is made of new opportunities and goals, and I can proudly say that I took advantage of it.

Bradley Greydon Nedblake “Peluco” Wow. it's hard to believe how fast the last four years have gone. Sarcastically “It’s finally over”. These past years have been the most dif­ ficult of my life. MMA has been a great experi­ ence. which will never leave me. and I will al­ ways be proud of. Guys I tried my best. I gave it all I could do.

I would like to thank to my family, for your love, determination and support of me. without it 1 wouldn’t have been able to pull it all off.

Mom thanks for all the good advice and the cookies. Dad thanks for encouraging me and helping me set goals that I never thought pos­ sible at times.

To the faculty. LTC Gillette (what am I go­ ing to with Zippmann). LTC Medley (he means business guys), CSM Williams (thanks for the

Major Brad Nedblake

lessons learned). MAJ Treadway (Yes Sir!) Ms. Williams (I’m going to get you) LTC Matlosz (you were the best adviser).

To the clique: in no order at all: Rich (you can handle me?) Meek (Ahh. you just got MEEKED) Zippmann (Nice Face) Marotti (I lost count of the Mediums, ok keeper) Ale Soto (UTTA) Moden (nice hair# 13) Coleman (write much?, thanks for putting up with the day to day stuff) Clifton (thanks for putting up with me and all your patience.

Honestly, this year has been one of the best ex­ periences that I lived, it is only one year but I think it has been the most significant in my life and one which I’m never going to forget.

I want to thank my parents (Yamile y Gerardo) for giving me this opportunity, for supporting me all this time and for the trust and faith that you have for me. “Los quiero mucho”.

On the other hand I want to give my best wishes to those of you that are worth more than anything in this place, my friends: Rogelio Ramos (arriba el palillo). Adrian De Los Rios, A. Salva (usted peguele mijo). Arturo Martinez (he-man). Valenzuela (tampoco tan poco). Hawach. Marcos Carrillo (sobres con tu roomate). Solis (chabelo). Garza RE (que feo pelado).

Justin Michael Patterson Well. I guess my time at MMA is over. My two year stay is done, and after all is said and done, it wasn't that bad. Of course, there were times when all I wanted to do was leave, but there are also moments I’ll always remember.

As I prepare to go to college, there are some people who I need to say thanks and goodbye to. To Mattingly. Scheele. Brown, and Shamsie: Never forget the “Gap,” but never go back. Goodbye Dudziak, Salazar, Miller. Chavarri. Villalobos. Calderon.

Gruenewald. Hall. Clifton. Meek, Reed, Pilcher. Lillo, Sutton. Allen, Sale, Medina.

Manning, Dolan P., Elliott, Martinez M., Lenz, Welch. Waid, Ellison. Marotti. Teele.

Zippmann, McDonough, all of Delta 3rd, and anyone else who I forgot. To all the Seniors: Good Luck and Congratulations.

I would like to thank my parents for putting up with me, and my friends from back home for being there for me.

To my friends from the past two years who couldn’t make it: Goodbye. Well. I guess it's time to grow up and move on. Congratulations Class of 2001, we did it!

It’s been a long wait for all of us and mine like all the other seniors is finally over

at least for now. Before I start thanking every­ body individually I would like to say thank you to everybody all together thanks for the good times.

Now there are a few people in general, like Luke. Man for the past two years you’ve been my best friend. Man I’m going to miss it. have fun in New Mexico. Cardin don’t have too much fun and keep the music playing, it’s the only thing your good at. Scott have fun next year, and stop getting in trouble. Tom thanks, for the advice I needed it, and thanks for teaching me that not everything is so trivial. Alex nice face, way to go.

All you underclassmen have fun. As seniors next year don't mess up. Have fun everybody.

Well I suppose this is where I say those thank you’s and good-byes that I never even contemplated saying.

First and foremost to my family especially my mother and father who were always

there to support me on whatever decision I made. To my dearest Kayleigh, a girl that has given me nothing short of royal treatment.

To the other cadets that were more than brothers to me on this rocky road that we called MM A. To the seniors, I’ll miss you all we had some hard limes and our bonds grew tighter with every passing year. To both Toms, Rich John Chris Alex Pedro, D.C., Jay, Andy, Adrian. Taylor Oaf.

Well I have made it. My three years at MMA have been a really big struggle for me. During these times I have met really good friends, and some people I couldn’t get along with, but I have put up with it and just let the years pass by. Now as the day comes closer I hope the year wouldn’t end so fast.

I would really like to thank my parents and my sis­ ter for putting up with me during my years when I was just asking to go back home. I love you all with all of my heart and I finally have done it!

Rogers, H I hope u gel what u want out of life. Tow­ ers u can do anything u set your mind to, Gosnell have fun at NMMI, Miller A. have fun next year. To every­ one I forgot I hope you had an experience like I did here. I learned a lot.

To my teachers: You all have been very helpful to me and I thank you for everything. LTC G you have really helped me these past two years. I hope to see u when I come back for alumni weekend. Top, keep drinking your coffee and keep up the good work, you have been really helpful too. SFC Norfus sir, I now know that the world is hard and not to make mistakes in life.

Hey, I’d like to daze away to a place no one has known/ In a state of mind I could call mine and only I could own/ Where I could hum a tune any time I choose and there’s no such thing as time/ Where I can feel no pain, just calm and sane, what a place for one to find.”

• Shannon Hoon, Blind Melon To say the least, these last two years have been tedious. Yet somewhere along the way I met some people who made it more enjoyable.

Abbazabba, you're money and you will always be the big winner. Fat, my Orange Mound brother, you’ll go far in life, as long as you stay off senior walk. Hoock, you were the roommate of all room­ mates. “Did you ever know that you’re my hero, you are the wind beneath my wings” -Bette Midler. Johnny, “Derek Smalls”, you were a great company commander, and a good friend. I’ll re­ ally miss you next year; Tommy D, You’re lead­ ership has forever changed me. Julio, “el raton” whether you realized it or not, you were my men­ tor at MMA, and even though you will probably never fully grasp this concept I still found it nec­ essary to write.

To be a Delta Phi member a cadet must achieve braincord. The cord is a symbol that he has earned 13 or more academic honor points in his classes.

If he accomplishes this twice he is considered a Delta Phi pledge.

If the cadet can do this two more times, he becomes an Associate Member.

An Associate can wear the Delta Phi pin and patch on the sleeve of the dress uniform.

If the cadet is a senior he also wears the cord worn by full-fledged members. Delta Phi privileges in­ clude an extra permit a week and studying how and when he sees fit.

Ranger The MMA Ranger program is the closest a cadet from MMA can get to the real Army without actually joining. From military style P. T. (physical training) to instruction on map reading.

The goal of rangers is to earn the coveted Ranger Beret, the trade mark symbol of the Rangers. To qualify involves a strenuous P. T. test that a cadet must pass. Then a pro­ spective Ranger has to plot out, and find 3 out of 5 coordinates during a map reading test. A cadet must also complete a 4 mile road march within 40 minutes in full camou­ flage, fatigues and boots.

Once these requirements are sat­ isfied, a cadet is granted the right to wear the Ranger Beret, and the ranger ribbon on his dress uniform.

Final Thoughts

The Senior Class of2001 celebrates with a final “Senior Call”!

Hutchins

I hope those that view this yearbook will enjoy the work that went into it. While it was finished sooner than last years project it can (and will next year) be done sooner.

I have to say thanks to those that helped create the book by taking some of the pictures included in the book; Mr.Richard Ceretti (Academy photographer) and MAJ Willis Kleinsorge (for his JS pictures).

I would also like to thank the Journalism class for their effort in selling ads, and those parents who invested their hard earned money in purchasing the book.

Pictured below are some art of the cadets from the Class of 2001!

Congratulations Seniors!
