In your book you show the forms for all the Air Force ranks, even for a cadet a the USAF Academy. My situation is what if an Air Force cadet was getting married a week after getting commissioned. At the time of the wedding the cadet will be a 2nd Lt but when the invitations go out he would still be a cadet.
When sending the invitations for their military wedding, would they put as his rank 2nd Lt or Cadet? Cadets hold no rank prior to commissioning or are listed as an E-3 in the reserve, it’s a really gray area. What should be the rank on the invitation?

Dear VR
If he will be a 2nd Lt on the date of the wedding … use 2nd Lt on the invitation.
That will be his correct name and rank at the event.
Only potential snafu will be … if anything gets in the way of the commissioning!
