on 16 january, each wing headquarters will process the applications from that wing. beginning in 2009, cadets will be assigned to one of three categories: green-light, approved, and red-light. at least one and up to 10% of cadets from each wing will be given the green-light, with the remaining cadets being slotted as approved. cadets can be assigned to the red-light category because of poor conduct or an unsatisfactory attitude, and are thus ineligible to attend ncsas.
