They either needed another corporal or thought you had distinguished yourself.  I was a private for the duration of camp. Then I was promoted.

Why do they do alot of things in cadets? If I were you, start shaking the established foundations and teach the rebellious idea that Mcpl isn't really a rank. 

will do

Often times we will take age as a factor in promotions, because age typically shows a better sense of maturity and less time left in cadets.  Also we looked at the results from the Junior and Senior Leadership courses, and promoted those performed well and showed some leadership potential.  If your confused as to why you have been promoted inquire up your chain of command rather then asking people who aren't involved in the process.

Also just to add I was promoted to Cpl the last night before camp and received MCpl the second night back in Sept.
