What is the rank associated with O-4 in the Marine JROTC?

The rank associated with O-4 in the Marine JROTC is Cadet Major (c/Maj). In the context of the military rank system, the "O" designates officer ranks, with O-4 representing the rank of Major in the regular armed forces. The corresponding rank in the Cadet programs mirrors this structure to help cadets understand military hierarchy and the progression of ranks.

Therefore, in the Marine JROTC, a Cadet Major (c/Maj) reflects the same rank as a Major in the active-duty military. This connection not only facilitates a clear understanding of rank equivalency but also reinforces the leadership and responsibilities associated with that position within the cadet program.

Understanding this hierarchy is crucial for cadets as they advance through their training, preparing them for potential future service in the military and ensuring they appreciate the structure and organization inherent in military service.
