Cadet is a rank which is used at Starfleet Academy to denote students in training to become Starfleet officers.
Duties and responsibilities
Becoming a Starfleet cadet was a difficult process and required a significant amount of academic achievement while in high school. Academy entrance standards were particular high especially in scientific and math disciplines (such as Calculus). Cadets were also expected to maintain a satisfactory grade point average during their attendance at the Academy. Getting bad grades was grounds for a Cadet's revocation of appointment from the Academy, also known as "washing out".
Starfleet Cadets were under the same uniform code of justice as Starfleet officers and were in turn subordinate to the orders of superiors. Cadets were also expected to show military courtesy and respect to senior commanders.
