Talk:Royal Canadian Army Cadets

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I did not know that the army cadets used the same rank insignia as the regular forces. I thought the ranks were red. Also, I did not know that cadets had the rank of master corporal.

Also, when I was in the cadets during the late 70's, some units also use red shoulder bars for officer ranks.

The rank insignia changed dramatically in the 1990s - officer ranks deleted, MCpl added, LCpl removed.

I've removed the funding info on the main page - Cadet spending is not "defence spending", the two are apples and oranges.Michael Dorosh 19:28, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

A bit too much POV, but I've preserved the original version here.
"Although $160 million may seem like an ungodly sum to be spent on a youth program benefiting relatively few people, it is done so because the Cadet program is possibly the most important recruiting element for the Canadian Armed Forces.

Joining the Canadian Forces after completing Cadets is not mandatory, though some cadets choose to join anyway." ... ColtsScore 02:19, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
