2008 RMA REUNION
The Banquet
The banquet on Saturday night allowed RMA cadets, friends and family another opportunity for fun and revisiting their roots in the Rough Rider community. Good food, good drink and good friends were the order of the evening. Following the cocktail reception, the first order of business was the traditional Drill-Off where former cadets could show off how much they remembered--or didn't remember--close order drill.
