I applied, no college or advanced training necessary. I work as a Cadre (soft drill instructor) at a military academy for at risk teens 16-18 years old. The kids live on campus and have school on campus. They do push ups, formations and yes sir no sir. In 6 months they get their high school diploma and are encouraged to go into either education, enlistment military, or employment. We prepare them and do deep, realistic dives into their goals and dreams.
Minimum to be a cadre all you have to do is have a clean back ground and apply.
To be a good cadre you have to genuinely care for the cadets and be willing to hold them to the standard even if it’s something ridiculous seeming. We look for hard workers who are not afraid to tell a angry cadet he must perform 30 push ups for speaking out of turn.
I love this job, I’m good at it, I’m creating a new generation of cadre who are also good and in turn we are creating the next generation of citizens.
Our pay is ok for the area though I’d argue we’re still lower middle class for our state. Our job offers 3 days off (40 hour weeks), free meals (eat what kids eat) and during the day we get time to relax while the cadets are in class.
Only BIG downside for my job is you can’t have a beard, only mustache.
