Cadets that do not meet the minimum standards will be placed in a probationary status for the following semester. The cadet will have one grading period to meet the standard for rank retention or be considered for reduction. Cadets failing to maintain a GPA of “2.0” may not hold a rank higher than cadet private. Requests for waivers to the above promotion criteria will be submitted to the Senior Military Instructor. Cadets who departed for disciplinary reasons or were withdrawn in lieu of disciplinary action, and accepted for reenrollment will be appointed cadet private, regardless of rank previously held. Cadets who departed for other reasons and accepted for reenrollment may be appointed to a grade one rank lower than that previously held if absence from the program was a period of one school year or less. Periods greater than one school year will normally result in a returning rank of cadet private.
Promotion interviews are conducted in a business suit. Questions are comprised of general military knowledge, leadership attributes, performance of drill movements, ability to administer drill, achievement of future goals, and life-long learning.
