Which is an example of an appointment?

• A. PL SGT
• B. B COY
• C. OPS PL
• D. CDT

Answer: (A)

An appointment is a specific leadership role assigned to a cadet within a unit, with defined duties and authority. Placing a cadet in the post of platoon sergeant creates a formal role the cadet holds, such as assisting the platoon leader, helping to run the platoon during drills, and ensuring orders are carried out. This makes it an appointment—the position itself comes with responsibilities. The other options describe units or status rather than a post. A company designation identifies a unit, not a particular job for a cadet. A platoon labeled for operations is again a unit description, not a specific role. Simply being a cadet denotes status, not a assigned post.
