 The Academy also has links with military academies in the Asia-Pacific, the United States Air Force Academy and the Royal Military College of Canada and thus also has a sizable number of foreign exchange cadets who graduate as Second Lieutenants and with a bachelor's degree and thus return to their countries of origin to serve in their air forces.Given its Dutch traditions as a former colonial territory the academy is also linked with the Koninklijke Militaire Academie in Breda, The Netherlands, the very academy where one of its founders had graduated.Cadets are not referred to as freshmen, sophomores, juniors, or seniors.
