Categories of Cadet Rank:
There are two categories of cadet rank: “permanent” and “temporary.” All cadets are assigned a permanent rank based on the number of years of AFJROTC satisfactorily completed as follows (See Attachment 2): AS-1 Cadet Airman Basic (AB) AS-2 Cadet Airman (Amn) AS-3 Cadet Airman First Class (A1C) AS-4 Cadet Senior Airman (SrA) The SASI/ASI’S may promote cadets to “temporary” ranks including senior enlisted and officer positions based on the level of responsibility and positions of leadership. Officer positions will normally be limited to capable cadets in their 3rd and 4th years. Failure to do job responsibilities or conduct that is unbecoming of a cadet may result in removal of position, demotion of rank and, if varying the severity of the actions, result in disciplinary action by the school. Primary standards/criteria for promotion:
The minimum criteria and qualities considered before making a decision to recommend a cadet for temporary rank promotions are based on our unit’s core values as follows:
