[edit] Junior Cadet Ranks

I was in the VTCC in college and here is my understanding of the junior cadet positions

  1. Sophomores and Juniors who hold no leadership positions are Cadet Privates.
  2. Freshman are called New Cadets the first semester, they are Freshman Cadet Privates (wear Private boards and white freshman belt), the second semester
  3. Cadet Private First Class is a rank for those who hold good grades but no leadership position. Can be bestowed upon Freshman, but a Freshman Cadet PFC can never outrank an upperclassman Cadet Private.
  4. Seniors with no leadership positions are known as Cadet Second Lieutenant. If they commit a serious disciplinary infraction, they can be demoted to Senior Cadet Private, wear Private boards, but still retain a senior gold chin strap and be saluted. -Husnock 14:46, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Hazing

Does anyone want to mention anything about the extreme hazing that goes on?

  • It's fine to mention, but please remember the policies of WP:NOR and WP:V. In other words, a section on hazing from your own personal experience would NOT be appropriate, but one that cites media reports of hazing would be in keeping with Wikipedia policies. BigDT 11:30, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
