What should a cadet do if they receive a subpoena?

Submitting an absence request form with a copy of the subpoena is the most appropriate action for a cadet to take upon receiving a subpoena. This course of action ensures that the cadet is following proper protocol and keeping their superiors informed of the legal obligations they are facing. By providing a copy of the subpoena, it clarifies the situation and allows the organization to take any necessary steps to accommodate the cadet's obligation to appear in court.

This response demonstrates responsibility, and transparency, and ensures that the cadet's continuous training and obligations are managed properly, minimizing the impact of the legal obligation on their duties or schedule. This action also provides an opportunity for the cadet to receive guidance on how to handle the situation effectively from their superiors.
