CADET POSITIONS AND RANK
The positions to be found in the “BLAZER” battalion and the highest rank that may be held by the incumbent are listed below. It should be pointed out that the mere occupancy of a position calling for a certain rank does not entitle the incumbent to that rank. The rank that a cadet holds depends of several factors such as the ability to perform the job in a superior manner, grades in other academic classes, conduct in JROTC and the school, general military knowledge, and setting the example to all subordinate cadets.
