How can parents help their son or daughter to excel in the cadet wing?
Parents can encourage cadets to put forth their best efforts in all areas and, particularly, to abide by the cadet wing regulations, take responsibility for their actions and be accountable to themselves and their supervisors. Parental support has been found to be a strong motivator toward good performance. Conversely, parents who condone violations will undermine the Academy’s efforts and leave their son or daughter open to punishment. For example, statistics show that of the cadets found guilty of violating the regulation that only First- and Second-Class cadets may own, maintain and operate a personal motor vehicle, most were given a car, or received some financial assistance toward one, from their parents.
