• Personnel Qualification Standards (PQS)

    Our promotion system is continually under scrutiny to insure that it is fair and equitable for all cadets. In the fall of 2022, the system has been improved and streamlined to promote efficiency, initiative, and accuracy. All cadets are encouraged to offer suggestions for improvement at any time. Achieving promotion requires cadets to maintain academic standards, participate in unit activities, and demonstrate proficiency in military areas. All of the requirements are within the capabilities of every cadet to achieve and therefore, every cadet can earn higher ranks. Additionally, promotion opportunities have been made a part of the curriculum and are offered during Naval Science class periods. This allows every cadet to participate regardless of extracurricular activities scheduled.
