The CACC Website Just Got a Major Upgrade!
Faster. Smarter. More powerful than ever — built for cadets, by cadets.
🎉 What's New?
We've been hard at work rebuilding and modernizing the California Cadet Corps website from the ground up. Every major page has been redesigned to be faster, more responsive on mobile, and easier to use — whether you're a cadet, a commandant, or a parent checking in.
Here's a full rundown of everything that's new and improved:
🏠 New Home Page
The home page has been completely redesigned with a modern, bold look that reflects the pride and professionalism of the California Cadet Corps. Faster load times, cleaner layout, and a better first impression for anyone visiting the site for the first time.
🎖️ Fixed Rank Structure Pages
The Cadet and Commandant rank structure pages were broken — modals weren't opening, images weren't loading, and the layout was a mess on mobile. All of that is fixed.
- Click any rank insignia to open a detailed modal with full rank information
- Full bilingual support — toggle between English and Spanish instantly
- Fully responsive on phones and tablets
- Clean, modern card-based layout for both Cadet and Commandant ranks
🎀 Ribbon Chart — Rebuilt
The ribbon chart has been rebuilt from scratch. Every ribbon is now displayed in a clean, searchable grid with full descriptions, award criteria, and precedence order. No more broken images or outdated layouts.
🏅 Ribbon Rack Builder — Now with PUBLISH!
The Ribbon Rack Builder is back and better than ever. Build your personal ribbon rack by clicking ribbons, adjust accoutrements, and see your rack update in real time. But the biggest news?
