SECTION 10
CONDUCT AND MILITARY COURTESY
10.1 While in uniform, all members of the Corps of Cadets are expected to conduct themselves in a manner which will reflect outstanding credit upon themselves, their parents, their school, the cadet corps, and the United States Army. The Honor Code of the US Military Academy at West Point is an excellent guideline for all cadets to follow.
“I will not lie, cheat, or steal, nor tolerate those that do.”
10.2. Cadets will demonstrate courtesy and respect towards educators and administrators working at RHS. Each Cadet will be graded on their conduct, citizenship, and overall behavior in the classrooms, common areas, and extra-curricular activities associated with RHS. As such, Cadets should demonstrate knowledge of JROTC, RHS, and CMCSS behavior-related policies and procedures. The basic guidelines are listed in the CMCSS Student Code of Conduct.
10.3. Courtesy is nothing more than the display of good manners and politeness in the dealing with other people. The only distinction between military courtesy and civilian courtesy is the formal customs and traditions of the service.
10.4. The hand salute is one of the most significant forms of military courtesy and is simply the military way of saying “hello.” It is also the custom to say, “Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening, Sir, or Ma’am,” when exchanging salutes. Cadets in uniform will salute cadet officers and members of the Armed Forces of the United States, and friendly nations, entitled to a salute, during those times and in the places where a salute is appropriate.
10.7. Individual cadet violations are not in keeping with good order and discipline which is a requirement to achieve high levels of academic and athletic success.
