Are cadets graded on their military performance?
Yes, all Academy personnel who instruct, supervise or coach cadets submit a military performance appraisal on each cadet. These inputs are used to create the Military Performance Average (MPA) similar to the academic GPA. Cadets who fall below a 2.0 MPA will meet a Military Review Committee (MRC) – similar to an ARC, which reviews academic deficiencies. The MRC may place a cadet on aptitude probation, initiate corrective action or make recommendations to the Commandant or the Academy Board.
