The JLBC Cadet Corps cadets once again proved their dedication and resilience by delivering an outstanding performance on the Marine Corps Physical Fitness Test (PFT). This rigorous assessment is a benchmark of military readiness, requiring strength, endurance, and mental toughness.


The Marine Corps PFT consists of three challenging components:


  • 🏃 A timed 3-mile run that tests cardiovascular endurance and stamina.

  • 💪 Max set of crunches in a two-minute period or a plank hold to measure core strength.

  • 🔥 Max set of pull-ups or push-ups to test upper body strength and endurance.



Our cadets pushed through every rep, stride, and hold with determination, embodying the discipline and grit that the JLBC Cadet Corps instills in each participant.





Why the PFT Matters



For teens and young adults preparing for careers in the military, police, or fire departments, physical fitness isn’t optional—it’s essential. The PFT builds not just the body but also the mindset required to serve in high-demand professions.


By participating in JLBC training, cadets gain:


  • 🔹 Improved strength and endurance.

  • 🔹 Confidence in their ability to meet military and first responder standards.

  • 🔹 A support system of peers and mentors committed to success.

Leadership is not reserved for adults, CEOs, or military commanders. It starts much earlier—often in the teenage years, when habits are forming and character is being tested. At JLBC Cadet Corps, Covenant of Courage, and Warrior Bootcamp, we’ve seen firsthand how ordinary teens can transform into extraordinary leaders by adopting just a few key habits.


Here are seven powerful habits that help young people rise above the crowd and lead with confidence, courage, and integrity:





1.

They Take Responsibility, Not Excuses



Leaders don’t blame others for their failures—they own their choices. Teens who learn to say, “This was my mistake, here’s how I’ll fix it,” quickly build respect among peers and adults alike. Taking responsibility builds trust and maturity.





2.

They Set Goals and Stick to Them



Ordinary teens drift. Leaders set direction. Whether it’s completing homework, improving fitness, or mastering a new skill, consistent goal-setting turns small wins into lifelong confidence. Leaders write down goals, track progress, and refuse to give up.





3.

They Respect Others, Always



Respect is the foundation of leadership. Leaders treat classmates, teachers, and even opponents with dignity. Teens who practice respect in daily life create stronger friendships, build influence, and earn the authority to lead others.





4.

They Stay Disciplined When It’s Tough



Discipline means doing the right thing—especially when no one is watching. Teens who wake up early, finish their workouts, study even when distracted, and follow through on commitments learn the self-control that separates leaders from followers.





5.

They Learn to Communicate Clearly



A leader’s voice matters. Teens who practice listening first, speaking with clarity, and expressing themselves confidently become role models. Communication builds trust, prevents conflict, and inspires teams to take action.





6.

They Step Up in Service



Leaders serve before they shine. Whether it’s helping a peer, volunteering at a community event, or supporting a younger sibling, teens who adopt a mindset of service develop the humility and empathy that make their leadership authentic.





7.

They Push Beyond Comfort Zones



Great leaders are forged in discomfort. Teens who accept challenges—whether it’s public speaking, taking a leadership role in group projects, or completing a tough Warrior Bootcamp session—learn resilience. Every time they push limits, they grow stronger.





🌟 Final Word



Leadership doesn’t happen overnight—it’s built habit by habit, day by day. Teens who commit to responsibility, discipline, respect, communication, service, and growth don’t just stand out in high school. They become the future leaders our world desperately needs.


At JLBC Cadet Corps, Warrior Bootcamp, and Covenant of Courage, we’re committed to turning ordinary young people into extraordinary leaders. Because leadership isn’t about age—it’s about action.
