CADETS PASS the reviewing stand. EYES RIGHT seven senior cadet officers, each responsible for various functions of the cadets. The cadet division is divided into two wings, a drill wing and the unusual special missions wing. The special missions wing is made up a cadet instructors group, an interview group, and an evaluation group.
