Cadet (NavCad) Program or U.S. Naval Reserve's Aviation Cadet program (class V-5))...was no different than the AAC/AAF Aviation Cadet Program. The main difference is that
V-5 Cadets were were allowed to wear "wings", to designate them as V-5 Aviation Cadets (NavCad), until they received their "Real Wings of Gold." All Cadets enlisted in the
USNR, in the Rank of Apprentice Seamen (USNR)...others with some education or with a degree came in as 1st or 2nd Class Seamen (USNR). They maintained that rank until they
washed out or until they graduated, the day they earned their wings, and were made Ensigns in the USNR, or 2nd LT's in the USMCR. Age restrictions for the V-5 Program were
17 to 25.
