Cadets are expected to apply themselves to the program and to their schooling. In all cases, schooling takes priority to cadet events/activities. Performance at school is also a factor that is considered by selection committees for camps and/or promotions.

If a cadet is unable to participate in a specific event due to school activities, it is fully understood. However, the cadet is still responsible for notifying the staff that they are not able to participate so that they may be marked as excused – failure to do so means that the cadet is marked as absent.
