United States Air Force Academy Cadet Wing

The students, called "cadets", are divided into four classes, based on their year in school, much like a civilian college.

They are not called freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors, however, but fourth-, third-, second- and first-class cadets, respectively.

Fourth-class cadets (freshmen) are sometimes called "doolies,” which is a term that derives from the Greek word doulos, which means "slave" or "servant".

The Cadet Wing Director of Operations is a senior cadet responsible for the day-to-day operation, readiness, and discipline of the Wing and holds the rank of C/Col, the highest firstie rank.

The chief administrator of the cadet discipline system, authorizing and monitoring demerit, tours, and confinement work, he or she also implements military, academic, athletic, standardization/evaluation, and training programs.
