Which system is used to track cadet behavior and performance?

• A. Cadet Code Of Honor
• B. Merit/Demerit System
• C. Uniform Wear Guidelines
• D. Mission

Answer: (B)

Tracking cadet behavior and performance is done through a merit/demerit system. In this approach, cadets earn merits for positive actions, responsibilities met, punctuality, teamwork, or achieving standards, and incur demerits for violations or mistakes. Over time, the accumulation creates a concrete record of how a cadet is progressing and helps guide decisions about privileges, leadership opportunities, or recognition. It also reinforces accountability and motivates improvement by turning conduct into measurable feedback.

The Cadet Code Of Honor outlines expected values and ethical behavior but isn’t a numerical tracking tool. Uniform Wear Guidelines govern appearance and uniform standards, not behavior tracking. A mission refers to a specific task or activity, not a system for recording behavior and performance.
