You know 207B's cadets later got to graduate despite still being trainees who haven't even completed their training, and were subsequently not using training units and trainee outfits, serving as an example that under extraordinary circumstances (though the circumstances are different for 207B and for Yui's squad) you can be a graduate without having completed your training?

You know how it was pointed out that Yui's squad are no longer using the training TSFs and outfits and now have their color-coded non-trainee machines and outfits issued already by the time the BETA showed up all of a sudden, which indicates that they have in fact been commissioned? If they were still complete cadets without a commission, they'd be sitting in their training Gekishins wearing their cadet suits. Yui's squad's and 207B's situations are not comparable.

Did you read any of what was written? At all?

I quote also the wiki "only soldiers and Eishi that have been officially commisioned are allowed to see the true forms of the BETA which are classified at the highest level to anyone else", and they're certainly already familiar with how BETA look and how Destroyers are meant to be fought.

This actually did happen with German and Japanese pilots towards the end of WW2, sending squadrons full of quickly commissioned nuggets up against experienced American pilots. So yeah, it does look alot like Izumi's already commissioned.

Already addresses the issue with the comments on their lack of experience and/or full training, which you have not provided any direct rebuttal to, besides a couple of screenshots saying "WELL YOUR TRAINING AIN'T COMPLETE", which has itself was being demonstrated as not a yardstick by which graduation status can be reliably measured under pressuring circumstances. You also failed to address the question of the fact that they were not using cadet equipment and reinforced suits unlike the actually hastily scrambled 207B, they were using the machines and suits that were specifically mentioned as being the ones that get issued to graduated pilots.

Where did you get the idea that this is about mere formalities and technicalities on paper about who's on what list of cadets?

Anyway, she's graduated.

Why am I even arguing about this when I just wanted to sit back and chuckle along with everyone else at the fact that you have effectively no clue what you're talking about?
