Cadet

This article refers to the general definition of cadet. A Cadet may also be a member of the Cadets, a historical Russian political party.

A cadet is an officer in training. The term is used for military commissioned officer, police, firefighter and EMT trainees.

Military cadets are typically students at a military academy, students at a U.S.-style private military academy or members of a youth group associated with the military who are receiving preliminary training with the intention of joining the military, sometimes at a younger age than they would be able to do otherwise.
