What rank is an AAS member when they first activate?

• A. AAS C/2nd LT
• B. AAS C/1st LT
• C. AAS C/Capt
• D. AAS C/3rd LT

Answer: (A)

When you first activate in Arnold Air Society, you start at the lowest officer rank used by AAS, which is Cadet Second Lieutenant. This is written as C/2d Lt and signals your entry as a junior officer within the cadet organization. As you gain time and leadership experience, you move up to Cadet First Lieutenant and then Cadet Captain, rather than starting at a higher rank. The other options correspond to later steps in the progression or to ranks that aren’t the entry point for new members.
