This article should go under VT Student Life (that's where the Highty Tighties are located) rather than Academics. Does anyone know how to move this article?

General Cadet Ranks

If you look at the Texas A & M Corp of Cadets there are ranks and insignia pictures. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_A%26M_University_Corps_of_Cadets. Can someone put up the VTCC ranks and insignia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.17.118.246 (talk) 20:03, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Junior Cadet Ranks

I was in the VTCC in college and here is my understanding of the junior cadet positions

  1. Sophomores and Juniors who hold no leadership positions are Cadet Privates.
  2. Freshman are called New Cadets the first semester, they are Freshman Cadet Privates (wear Private boards and white freshman belt), the second semester
  3. Cadet Private First Class is a rank for those who hold good grades but no leadership position. Can be bestowed upon Freshman, but a Freshman Cadet PFC can never outrank an upperclassman Cadet Private.
  4. Seniors with no leadership positions are known as Cadet Second Lieutenant. If they commit a serious disciplinary infraction, they can be demoted to Senior Cadet Private, wear Private boards, but still retain a senior gold chin strap and be saluted. -Husnock 14:46, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Unless they've changed it I'm pretty sure sophomores not in leadership roles are C/PFCs and juniors are C/SGTs, and freshman can become C/PVTs after a certain phase (I don't remember which one). 68.227.219.145 (talk) 03:05, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's changed. I'm a current cadet in the corps. The highest rank a Freshman can hold is Cadet Private. Sophomores who are Fire Team Leaders or their company clerk are Corporals, all unassigned Sophomores are PFC. Unassigned Juniors are Cadet Sergeants, and unassigned seniors are Cadet 2nd Lieutenants. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dworkinjc (talk • contribs) 01:32, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hazing

Does anyone want to mention anything about the extreme hazing that goes on?

  • It's fine to mention, but please remember the policies of WP:NOR and WP:V. In other words, a section on hazing from your own personal experience would NOT be appropriate, but one that cites media reports of hazing would be in keeping with Wikipedia policies.

Extreme hazing? I'm a '97 grad and I don't recall any "extreme hazing." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.154.229.139 (talk) 12:43, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think this article, especially the history section may be in need of a rewrite as there are many sections that seem taken word for word from the following site: http://www.armyrotc.vt.edu/Cadets/vtcchist.htmJsonitsac (talk) 18:47, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is indeed a copyvio and the material has been removed. Here is the diff adding the material in June of 2005, and the Wayback Machine results from Nov 2003. I'm pretty sure I salvaged all of the images from the history section. Sorry--DO11.10 (talk) 02:06, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am a cadet at VTCC and I'm 100% positive the Army ROTC detachment would not mind the copying, what do you do to add it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.82.67.163 (talk) 13:29, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm that same cadet, in this information is copied from the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets Guidon, this information is also available in recruitment packets and other public domain documents, it is not private information and is literary copied word for word. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.82.67.163 (talk) 13:16, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
