Junior Officer Process
Every year a Cadet Colonel is named and a tradition is continued. This tradition, however, is not merely a single event. It began a year earlier, when the new Cadet Colonel and 80% of the junior class filled out their applications for Junior Officer positions. Every December, 1SG Hernandez meets with the junior LET classes about applying for J.O. The process is a deeply rooted tradition and is infamous within the corps of cadets for its rigorous inspections and in-depth interviews. All the aspiring juniors fill out an application and go through an interview sometime in third quarter. More interviews and inspections follow for the selected ‘Top Twenty.’
