TAKE THE KNIGHT-FOX CHALLENGE
The Knight-Fox is a great opportunity to visit Marion Military Institute and to learn more about its nationally recognized corps of cadets and commissioning programs. You will receive valuable information about five MMI programs that lead to becoming an officer including: Army Early Commissioning Program (ECP); Army National Guard (ANG) and Army Reserves (AR) Simultaneous Membership Program (SMP); Service Academy Preparation (SAP) program and Air Force ROTC (AFROTC).
WHAT IS THE KNIGHT-FOX CHALLENGE?
Knight-Fox is a great experience for all college-bound students interested in a professional military career. The Challenge was designed to identify, evaluate and recruit juniors and seniors who aspire to be commissioned in the U.S. Armed Forces and/or attend one of the five U.S. Service Academies. Knight-Fox is also an excellent experience for Reserve and National Guard members who want to earn a commission. After completion of this action-filled 36-hour experience, you will know if you have the true desire to become an officer. You will also discover that MMI is well equipped to prepare you to be a professional soldier.
