Each cadet squadron is assigned two AMTs, experienced senior NCOs who lead by example and instill discipline, respect, and emotional intelligence. โš”๏ธ โ€œMy relationship with my AMTs has shown me the importance of emotional intelligence and consistent presence in leadership,โ€ said C2C Carson Yingling.
