The '''Marine Military Academy (MMA)''' is a private [[University-preparatory school|college preparatory academy]] located in [[Harlingen, Texas|Harlingen]], [[Texas]], US, offering a curriculum for boys in grades 7–12 plus one year of [[postgraduate year|post-graduate]] study. The school was founded in 1965. Its traditions and ideals are inspired by the [[United States Marine Corps]] (USMC), but the school is not affiliated with the USMC except through its [[JROTC|Junior ROTC]] program.
The academy is situated on the site of the former [[Harlingen Army Airfield]], established in 1941. After closing, the field was re-opened in 1952 as the [[Harlingen Air Force Base]] which closed in the early 1960s. Since opening its doors as the Marine Military Academy most of the original buildings have been replaced with modern facilities. The adjacent runways became the [[Valley International Airport]].
==Academics==
Courses offered include regular high school classes as well as honors courses, Advanced Placement authorized courses and dual enrollment courses for which college credit may be earned. Most courses are taught year-long. In a 1976 interview, Instructor Sgt. Jim Morton claimed that MMA was "twice as strict as any other military school."<ref>{{Cite news |date=March 19, 1976 |title=Prep School Run Like Junior Marine Corps |work=Crescent News |location=Defiance, Ohio |pages=7}}</ref>
Cadets have required attendance at tutorials if they are failing any classes. There are no make-ups for failed exams or missed homework assignments without acceptable reasons and mandatory Closed Call to Quarters (time set aside each evening in the barracks for the completion of homework and studying for exams).
The school has summer programs including a four-week bootcamp-style summer camp for boys 13–17, as well as [[ESL]] classes for foreign students.
==Athletics==
All cadets are required to participate in one of the offered extracurricular activities during the afternoon activity period which goes from approximately 4:00–5:30 P.M. The goal of the program is to provide all cadets an opportunity to participate in sports activities regardless of their skill level. Some athletic activities conducted at the school include jiu jitsu, boxing, baseball, football, tennis, soccer, raiders, track, and golf.
Beginning with the 2000–2001 school year, varsity sports began competing in the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools (TAPPS) for statewide honors. Also offered at the eighth grade level is the VISA program (Valley Independent School Association), with yearlong competition in various sports. As they are not permitted to participate in TAPPS competitive activities until they reach grade nine, this program provides eighth graders the opportunity to participate in volleyball, basketball, soccer and track and field sports against other member private schools.
== In the news ==
After a cadet has his throat slit in his room in 1997, reports of violence, hazing, and extensive use of drugs and alcohol among students spread throughout various media.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Zimmerman |first=Ann |date=December 25, 1997 |title=The Few, the Proud, the Battered |url=https://www.dallasobserver.com/news/the-few-the-proud-the-battered-6402346 |work=Dallas Observer}}</ref> Enrollment declined by 50% in the year afterward, and the head of the school retired.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Trousdale |first=William |url=https://www.worldcat.org/title/ocm71004238 |title=Military high schools in America |date=2007 |publisher=Left Coast Press |isbn=978-1-59874-116-2 |location=Walnut Creek, Calif |chapter=Chapter 11: Tradition into Tragedy |oclc=ocm71004238}}</ref>
==Corps of cadets==
The Marine Military Academy established one of the first Marine Corps Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (MCJROTC) in the nation.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.mcjrotc.org/about/history.aspx|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110723173329/http://www.mcjrotc.org/about/history.aspx|url-status=dead|title=Marine Corps JROTC – History|archivedate=July 23, 2011}}</ref> All cadets are members of the MCJROTC unit, unless they fail to qualify for full membership because of age or citizenship. In this case they receive the training as associate members.
Cadets are assigned to one of five company barracks, supervised by a [[drill instructor]] and assistant drill instructor. Introductory training lasts for four weeks, during which new cadets are taught varied general military skills and knowledge. These include military rank structure, uniforms, close order drill. They also undergo training on rappelling, a confidence course, obstacle course and high ropes course. Introductory training, also called the plebe system, is supervised by cadet NCOs serving as cadet instructors, who are supervised by a cadet officer. A parade is held at the end of the training during which the plebes place the [[Eagle, Globe, and Anchor]] on their garrison cover to symbolize the transformation from plebe to cadet.
===Rank structure===
The cadet rank structure is based on the United States Marine Corps rank and billet system, with the addition of "Cadet" before the title.
Eighth grade students cannot advance beyond Cadet Lance Corporal, and freshmen cannot exceed the rank of Cadet Corporal. However, eighth graders and freshmen more often serve as non-rates, those ranks up to c/Lance Corporal who are not [[non-commissioned officers]]. As a sophomore, a cadet may be promoted to an NCO rank. Juniors make up most of the Academy's staff NCOs.
Seniors are generally promoted to officer rank. They hold positions of command responsibility, as Platoon Commanders, Company Executive Officers, Company Commanders, Battalion Executive Officers, and Battalion Commanders. There are also many other Battalion Staff and Company Staff positions available for seniors not in billets of command.

==Corps of cadets==
The Marine Military Academy established one of the first Marine Corps Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (MCJROTC) in the nation.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.mcjrotc.org/about/history.aspx|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110723173329/http://www.mcjrotc.org/about/history.aspx|url-status=dead|title=Marine Corps JROTC – History|archivedate=July 23, 2011}}</ref> All cadets are members of the MCJROTC unit, unless they fail to qualify for full membership because of age or citizenship. In this case they receive the training as associate members.
Cadets are assigned to one of five company barracks, supervised by a [[drill instructor]] and assistant drill instructor. Introductory training lasts for four weeks, during which new cadets are taught varied general military skills and knowledge. These include military rank structure, uniforms, close order drill. They also undergo training on rappelling, a confidence course, obstacle course and high ropes course. Introductory training, also called the plebe system, is supervised by cadet NCOs serving as cadet instructors, who are supervised by a cadet officer. A parade is held at the end of the training during which the plebes place the [[Eagle, Globe, and Anchor]] on their garrison cover to symbolize the transformation from plebe to cadet.
===Rank structure===
The cadet rank structure is based on the United States Marine Corps rank and billet system, with the addition of "Cadet" before the title.
Eighth grade students cannot advance beyond Cadet Lance Corporal, and freshmen cannot exceed the rank of Cadet Corporal. However, eighth graders and freshmen more often serve as non-rates, those ranks up to c/Lance Corporal who are not [[non-commissioned officers]]. As a sophomore, a cadet may be promoted to an NCO rank. Juniors make up most of the Academy's staff NCOs.
Seniors are generally promoted to officer rank. They hold positions of command responsibility, as Platoon Commanders, Company Executive Officers, Company Commanders, Battalion Executive Officers, and Battalion Commanders. There are also many other Battalion Staff and Company Staff positions available for seniors not in billets of command.

<p>The <b>Marine Military Academy (MMA)</b> is a private <a href="/enwiki/wiki/University-preparatory_school" class="mw-redirect" title="University-preparatory school">college preparatory academy</a> located in <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Harlingen,_Texas" title="Harlingen, Texas">Harlingen</a>, <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Texas" title="Texas">Texas</a>, US, offering a curriculum for boys in grades 7–12 plus one year of <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Postgraduate_year" title="Postgraduate year">post-graduate</a> study. The school was founded in 1965. Its traditions and ideals are inspired by the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/United_States_Marine_Corps" title="United States Marine Corps">United States Marine Corps</a> (USMC), but the school is not affiliated with the USMC except through its <a href="/enwiki/wiki/JROTC" class="mw-redirect" title="JROTC">Junior ROTC</a> program.
</p><p>The academy is situated on the site of the former <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Harlingen_Army_Airfield" class="mw-redirect" title="Harlingen Army Airfield">Harlingen Army Airfield</a>, established in 1941. After closing, the field was re-opened in 1952 as the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Harlingen_Air_Force_Base" title="Harlingen Air Force Base">Harlingen Air Force Base</a> which closed in the early 1960s. Since opening its doors as the Marine Military Academy most of the original buildings have been replaced with modern facilities.

<p>Courses offered include regular high school classes as well as honors courses, Advanced Placement authorized courses and dual enrollment courses for which college credit may be earned. Most courses are taught year-long. In a 1976 interview, Instructor Sgt. Jim Morton claimed that MMA was "twice as strict as any other military school."<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Cadets have required attendance at tutorials if they are failing any classes. There are no make-ups for failed exams or missed homework assignments without acceptable reasons and mandatory Closed Call to Quarters (time set aside each evening in the barracks for the completion of homework and studying for exams).
</p><p>The school has summer programs including a four-week bootcamp-style summer camp for boys 13–17, as well as <a href="/enwiki/wiki/ESL" class="mw-redirect" title="ESL">ESL</a> classes for foreign students.

<p>All cadets are required to participate in one of the offered extracurricular activities during the afternoon activity period which goes from approximately 4:00–5:30 P.M. The goal of the program is to provide all cadets an opportunity to participate in sports activities regardless of their skill level. Some athletic activities conducted at the school include jiu jitsu, boxing, baseball, football, tennis, soccer, raiders, track, and golf.
</p><p>Beginning with the 2000–2001 school year, varsity sports began competing in the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools (TAPPS) for statewide honors. Also offered at the eighth grade level is the VISA program (Valley Independent School Association), with yearlong competition in various sports. As they are not permitted to participate in TAPPS competitive activities until they reach grade nine, this program provides eighth graders the opportunity to participate in volleyball, basketball, soccer and track and field sports against other member private schools.

In this case they receive the training as associate members.
</p><p>Cadets are assigned to one of five company barracks, supervised by a <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Drill_instructor" title="Drill instructor">drill instructor</a> and assistant drill instructor. Introductory training lasts for four weeks, during which new cadets are taught varied general military skills and knowledge. These include military rank structure, uniforms, close order drill. They also undergo training on rappelling, a confidence course, obstacle course and high ropes course. Introductory training, also called the plebe system, is supervised by cadet NCOs serving as cadet instructors, who are supervised by a cadet officer. A parade is held at the end of the training during which the plebes place the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Eagle,_Globe,_and_Anchor" title="Eagle, Globe, and Anchor">Eagle, Globe, and Anchor</a> on their garrison cover to symbolize the transformation from plebe to cadet.

<p>The cadet rank structure is based on the United States Marine Corps rank and billet system, with the addition of "Cadet" before the title.
</p><p>Eighth grade students cannot advance beyond Cadet Lance Corporal, and freshmen cannot exceed the rank of Cadet Corporal. However, eighth graders and freshmen more often serve as non-rates, those ranks up to c/Lance Corporal who are not <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Non-commissioned_officers" class="mw-redirect" title="Non-commissioned officers">non-commissioned officers</a>. As a sophomore, a cadet may be promoted to an NCO rank. Juniors make up most of the Academy's staff NCOs.
</p><p>Seniors are generally promoted to officer rank. They hold positions of command responsibility, as Platoon Commanders, Company Executive Officers, Company Commanders, Battalion Executive Officers, and Battalion Commanders. There are also many other Battalion Staff and Company Staff positions available for seniors not in billets of command.

During school days, the uniforms worn on weekdays are the utility and U-1 uniform. Four days a week the prescribed uniform is utility, and on Mondays the cadets wear the U-1 uniform which consists of camouflage utility bottoms, boots, a company t-shirt with the name of the company and corresponding color, (red for echo, blue for alpha, etc.,) and the utility cover. Cadets holding rank above Cadet Corporal are authorized to display their rank centered in the middle of their cover. During periods of exercise PT gear is worn. The dress blue uniforms are often preserved for the Marine Corps Birthday Ball and other formal events. Raincoats and letter jackets may also be worn when directed during cold or rainy weather. The Cadet rank insignias and <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Blood_stripe" title="Blood stripe">blood stripe</a> are no longer sewn into cadet dress blue pants.

<p>Since there are many varying cadet uniforms, certain events dictate which uniform is appropriate. For example, Dress Blue "A" is rarely worn. The school holds two specific events that require Blue "A": the Marine Corps Birthday Ball and the HM Smith Foundation dinner. Both Dress Blue "A" and "B" may be worn to civilian occasions which dictate white tie or black tie. Green "C"s are issued at the QM during entrance into the school for events off campus, including liberty on weekends and special leave.
