The Marine Aviation Cadet or MARCAD program was operational from the late 1950s to the mid 1960s. Hundreds (thousands?) of Marine enlisted and civilians with some college became Marine pilots and officers. What was the highest career rank achieved by a former Marcad? Who did it? Etc.

I believe there was ONE MARCAD who made full COL. A jet jock who (I think) flew with the Blue Angels. Contact Roger Henry for more details.

Generals?

I know my classmate and friend Mike Severson (Brow) made Colonel. How many made star rank, and how many stars?
