They’re playing in Monroe Week 1. Go cheer for them there. They deserve the same “warm” welcome that every opposing team gets in Tiger Stadium

The cadets are considered as active duty while enrolled. Check out the heading under Academic Curriculum and Student Life.

They’re not enlisted nor commissioned as cadets…if they become juniors and get kicked out, they incur a service commitment as an enlisted troop..if they graduate, they get commissioned as an officer. While attending the academy, they’re an officer candidate, just like ROTC.


Nope, they're considered active duty.

If fans don't want to cheer for them, that's fine, but we should not boo them.

100% agree with this.

I implore all the Tiger fans to cheer for our military when they take the field. Not a big fan of booing kids anyhow, and remember what these young men will do for us in a couple of years.
