There were quite a few cadets in my class as well. We insisted the "C" on their ballistic helmet was for civillian instead of cadet. We always had to make up for their lack of motivation during cadence calling.

My diploma is a little misleading, it says "Airborne Course" while we all know the official title is Basic Airborne Course, and it's so new (compared to some) the ink might still be wet. It's still commonly referred to as both Jump School as well as Airborne School.
