What happens if a recruit misses more than 20% of instruction in any training area?

If a recruit misses more than 20% of instruction in any training area, they are subject to review by the Academic Review Board. This process is in place to ensure that all recruits maintain a level of engagement and performance that meets the standards of the training program. The Academic Review Board assesses each individual's situation regarding their attendance and the impact of those absences on their ability to perform effectively in the field.

Being reviewed by this board is a critical step as it allows for a comprehensive evaluation of the recruit's circumstances, which may include personal issues or other valid reasons for the absences. The outcome of this review may result in additional support or requirements for the recruit to return, rather than immediate dismissal or a warning, which reflects the academy's commitment to providing opportunities for success while maintaining high training standards.

Thus, the process emphasizes accountability and the importance of attendance, while also allowing for fairness and a second chance for those who may have faced challenges.
