Negative.
This is a drug deal between GOs to let cadets play soldier for a few weeks.
Cadets are not evaluated by commanders in multiple OERs prior to attending, selected by a board, or held to the same standards as officers attending SFAS.
Nevertheless, they are permitted to attend, while ROTC cadets and OCS candidates are not.
IMHO, it is a waste of slots.
