AS used in canon:

   ghojwI'pu'lI' tISaH
   Care about your students. TKW

Note that in the military:

   A student may be described as a {mangHom} ("cadet"), but
   {mangHom} is not an official title. One should not say,
   for example, {qImlaq mangHom} (Cadet K'mlak). (KGT 53)

In the Navy, we would call a {mangHom} a midshipman.  For the non-military 
types out there, this is not the same thing as a recruit {ghuv}.
