Noun.
A cadet (Usually in the ROTC) who either:
1) is an idiot, or
2) acts like he or she is already in the military.
In the first case, it can be used affectionately, or may just refer to the fact that a cadet lacks the experience and knowledge of a trained service member, rather than referring to an actual lack of intelligence. In the second sense, it is almost exclusively a pejorative term for a cadet who is arrogant or foppish.
