  • Ensure that every cadet is given the same basic opportunity of being promoted within the squadron.
  • Ensure that all air cadets promoted possess the same basic qualifications and a similar degree of experience.
  • Ensure that successful completion of the mandatory aspect of air cadet training serves as the common standard on which cadets are evaluated.
