Cadet Life
Molding future leaders amidst an evolving security landscape
Molding future leaders amidst an evolving security landscape
To build the desirable character traits expected of cadets, they live under an atmosphere of restraint prescribed by rules and regulations. These rules and regulations are all codified into what is known as the Graybook or "cadet bible." The Graybook defines, specifies, and covers all the "do's" and "dont's" of cadet behavior, activities and actuations.
Cadets follow very unique customs and traditions that are premised on the principle that "no one is fit to command who has not learned to obey." This tradition calls for certain standards which the plebe - fresh from civilian life must meet. It also considers several corrective measures the upperclassmen may take to enable the plebes to meet the standards. In other words, the custom operates to develop good qualities and individuals. Likewise, it helps him exercise his leadership. This custom is known as the Fourth class System.
Another equally, if not more important means of developing the character is the Honor System. The system is very special to the cadets, and transcends all aspects of his life in the Academy. It presupposes clean thinking and honest dealing; therefore, deception is neither tolerated nor are undue advantages allowed to be taken by one another.

Hinuhubog ang mga susunod na lider sa gitna ng nagbabagong tanawin ng seguridad
Upang mahubog ang mga kanais-nais na katangian na inaasahan sa mga kadete, namumuhay sila sa ilalim ng kapaligirang may pagpipigil na itinakda ng mga tuntunin at regulasyon. Ang lahat ng mga tuntunin at regulasyong ito ay nakapaloob sa tinatawag na Graybook o "cadet bible." Tinutukoy, nililinaw, at sinasaklaw ng Graybook ang lahat ng mga "dapat" at "hindi dapat" gawin sa kilos, gawain, at asal ng kadete.
Sumusunod ang mga kadete sa mga natatangi at kakaibang kaugalian at tradisyon na nakabatay sa prinsipyong "no one is fit to command who has not learned to obey." Ang tradisyong ito ay nangangailangan ng ilang pamantayan na dapat maabot ng plebe — na bagong galing sa buhay sibilyan. Isinasaalang-alang din nito ang ilang pamamaraang pagtatama na maaaring gawin ng mga upperclassmen upang matulungan ang mga plebe na maabot ang mga pamantayan. Sa madaling sabi, gumagana ang kaugaliang ito upang paunlarin ang mabubuting katangian ng mga indibidwal. Gayundin, tinutulungan nito siyang gampanan ang kanyang pamumuno. Ang kaugaliang ito ay kilala bilang Fourth Class System.
Ang isa pang mahalaga, kung hindi man mas mahalaga, na paraan ng paghubog ng pagkatao ay ang Honor System. Napakahalaga ng sistemang ito sa mga kadete, at sumasaklaw ito sa lahat ng aspeto ng kanyang buhay sa Academy. Ipinagpapalagay nito ang malinis na pag-iisip at tapat na pakikitungo; kaya hindi pinahihintulutan ang panlilinlang ni ang pagkuha ng hindi nararapat na kalamangan sa isa't isa.
Ang mga sumusunod na paksa ay naglalarawan sa maikling paraan ng buhay ng isang kadete sa Philippine Military Academy:
