## Overview

The **Cadet Corps** (訓練兵団 *Kunren Heidan*?) is a regiment of the military dedicated to training and educating cadets to become members of the three main military regiments.

Only the top ten graduates can apply to the Military Police Regiment, giving them the privilege of living in the Inner District. The other graduates can choose between joining the Survey Corps or the Garrison.

The **104th Cadet Corps** is the only graduating class introduced in the series and the southern division contains nearly all the central characters. It was active during the years 847 through 850 when the remaining recruits graduated.

## Commandant Sadies's individual cadet evaluations for 104th Southern Division

* Reiner Braun — “The mind and constitution of a grass fed ox. Respected by his comrades.”
* Armin Arlert — “Built like a daffodil, but academically brilliant.”
* Annie Leonhardt — “Gifted with a sword, but does not exactly play well with others.”
* Bertholdt Hoover — “Heaps of native talent, but to mild mannered.”
* Jean Kirstein — “Head of the class on ODM, also an insufferable smartass with hair triggered temper.”
* Sasha Braus — "Unusually fine instincts, rarely shares them with her teammates."
* Connie Springer— “Agile on the switchbacks, few sandwiches shy of a picnic”
* Mikasa Ackerman — “Mikasa Ackerman model cadet, excells in everything. Infact it's no overstatement to call the girl a genius.”
* Eren Yeager — “Lackluster in the classroom, marginally better in the field, but driven by a sense of purpose that's almost terrifying.”

* Applejack — "Always honest in her opinions, but her sturboness can cloud her judgement"
* Sweetie Belle — "A spunky little filly, While she lacks phisycal strength, she makes up for it with determination"
* Smolder — "Quick witted and fast on the ODM, though she excels without it
* Rainbow Dash — "Shows great skills when it comes to using her blades, However her ego makes her forget the importance of teamwork

* Pinkie Pie — "Easily excitable when it comes to meeting new ponies, but is always willing to fight for what she believes in

* Twilight Sparkle — "A known leader, though she lacks confidence in her skills.

## Trivia

* A notable member who did not make the top 10 of the 104th Southern Division is Ymir. Her abilities easily surpass those of the graduate ranked in 10th position, Historia Reiss, but during the final weeks of training, Ymir began slacking off to ensure Historia's spot in the top ten and allow her access to join the Military Police.[2]
* Four of the top five graduates of the 104th Southern Division are known to possess the power of the Titans. The only exception is Mikasa Ackermann, the number one.
* Of all top ten graduates in the 104th Southern Division, only Annie Leonhart applied to the Military Police, Marco Bodt died before choosing a branch (though he constantly spoke of joining the MPs), the other 8 joined the Scout Regiment, and no one chose the Garrison.
* It is stated that the main cast belongs to the Southern branch. There are four divisions of the 104th operating within Wall Rose, one for each major district. Prior to the loss of Wall Maria, there were a total of eight divisions operated by the military.[3]
* It is notable that Eren Jaeger graduated into the Scout Regiment several days before any of the other cadets chose their divisions due to special circumstances.
