What happens when a cadet misses 20 hours of class time?

Documentation of absences, including those amounting to 20 hours missed, serves several important purposes within the academy context. It ensures that there is a formal record of attendance, which can be critical for tracking student performance and accountability. This documentation may affect the cadet’s overall standing and is a part of maintaining the integrity of the training program. It also allows instructors to monitor attendance patterns, which can indicate a cadet's engagement and commitment to their education.

Documentation is often required not only as a protocol for educational compliance but also to support decisions regarding other potential consequences, such as academic standing or eligibility for certain activities within the program. It creates a framework for addressing any issues related to excessive absences, which can impact learning and training outcomes.
