| Cadets shouldn't be promoted faster solely based on their age. You need to show that you're capable of hanging the rank and the responsibilty that comes with it.
We had a few Cadets in my old Squadron that were promoted simply because they were a bit older than the rest of the people in their level, but they didn't show much ability to lead anyone. The most they did was flaunt their rank in front of other people. Needless to say, that was quickly sorted out by myself (The Squadron Commander) and my Officers.
