What is the consequence of an injury for a cadet wishing to return to the Academy?

The process for a cadet wishing to return to the Academy following an injury necessitates a documented full release from a physician. This requirement ensures that the cadet’s physical health has been adequately assessed, confirming that they are fit to resume their duties and participate in training safely. The physician's note acts as a safeguard for the cadet, the Academy, and the training environment, as it verifies that any medical issues have been resolved to a degree that allows for safe participation in rigorous activities.

Other options do not adequately reflect the Academy’s protocols. For instance, requiring a letter from a fellow cadet does not provide the necessary medical assessment needed for reintegration. Automatic reinstatement after a fixed period overlooks the importance of individual recovery processes. Retaking the class would only apply in specific academic situations rather than as a blanket procedure for all injuries sustained.
