What must cadets do if they are ill or injured?

• A. Seek immediate medical care and notify their I/C.
• B. Notify their I/C only if the illness lasts more than a day.
• C. Seek emergency medical treatment if necessary and only notify a supervisor after.
• D. Seek immediate medical care and notify their I/C.

Answer: (D)

When cadets are ill or injured, the priority is to get medical help without delay and to inform the person in charge right away. Prompt medical care protects your health and safety, and notifying the supervisor ensures the unit can coordinate coverage, document the incident, and determine whether you’re fit for duty. Even if it isn’t an emergency, you should seek appropriate medical evaluation and tell the I/C as soon as possible so everyone stays informed and the chain of command can respond appropriately. Delaying notification or waiting until after treatment can create gaps in safety oversight and scheduling, which is why the recommended approach is to seek immediate medical care and notify the I/C promptly.
