Bill #1
“… You may find that having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting. This is not logical, but it is often true.” — Mr. Spock
The “Academy Fleet Command Structure” section of Central Academy Directors for Education and Training (CADET) is hereby amended by Restructuring Section 7(Departing the Academy Fleet) that reads as follows:
“Cadets that request to leave the Academy prior to graduation are required to wait 120 days before they can be promoted from Ensign. In the event that a Cadet should leave the Academy early, his name will be placed on a list maintained by the Academy stating the exact date that the Cadet is eligible for rank promotion; this includes any Cadets that AWOL. All COs are requested to keep themselves familiar with this list. The Academy Commandant is responsible for contacting the CO of the ship that the Cadet went to when he originally left the Academy, and providing the CO with this information as well.
In the case of AWOL Cadets, should they return to STF, the Academy Commandant may allow them to re-enter the Academy training program on a case by case basis. There is no guarantee, however, that they will be placed in the same department or on the same ship.
Serving on any training ship is optional. Cadets who join the Academy program, thinking that it is mandatory, may approach the Academy Commandant and request to be transferred to a mainstream ship, provided they do so immediately upon finding out that the Academy is not mandatory. The Academy Commandant is required to give such requests due consideration. Upon the Academy Commandant’s approval, the Cadet may be found a place on a mainstream ship as an Ensign, with all the rights and privileges that a new member, who is placed on a mainstream ship, has.
Any other reasons for early departure are to be reviewed by the Academy Commandant and Vice Commandant on a case by case basis.”
Replacing with:

The Academy Commandant is required to give such requests due consideration. Upon the Academy Commandant’s approval, the Cadet may be found a place on a mainstream ship as an Ensign, with all the rights and privileges that a new member, who is placed directly on a mainstream ship, has.”
Changes:
