CADET INSIGNIA AND UNIFORMS

The procedure for becoming a cadet and courses studied are on pages 1 and 2 of this article.

Cadets wear rank pips on the collar of the cadet uniform. The pips are in the shape of a short vertical oblong bar. The number of pips relate to the class the cadet is in, in rising seniority:

Cadets in superior years to those below them are known as "upperclassmen", this being the term used by Encyclopaedia when describing Picard's record of becoming the only freshman to win the Academy marathon, which included beating upperclassmen.
