  During a officer training course, a cadet may be allocated time for a Cadet Cruise aboard a Starfleet starship. In addition to this, cadet's may also choose to take an additional cruise of a period of one year. This option is available to all cadets. During a cruise, the officer-in-training carries the rank of Cadet (Cdt) or Officer Cadet (OCdt) for the Marines. This rank is considered to be one below Ensign, but still an officer's grade and rank. Sometimes, due to extremely good performance of duties, a Cadet will be promoted to Acting Ensign (with an increase in pay and rank) within their chosen field. Cadet Cruise Assignments may include:
Starship Division Exploration Division Military Division Colonization Division Marines Division Starbase Division |
