I beg to differ. One can easily 'be' in both. PRes/Reg F support is an integral part of the CCM. Every summer at Cadet Summer Training Centre's across the country, Res F/Reg F NCMs and occasionally officers are signed on as instructors/advisors for the duration of the camp. All the way from Pte's to CWO's.
The 3rd aim of the CCM is to "stimulate an interest in the 3 elements of the CF"..It's a lot easier to accomplish that aim with actual troops from the forces stopping by now an again, which is very common in cadet units across the country.
And no Canadian Physco, an NCM volunteering at a cadet unit does not outrank "every person/office" in cadets. If by office, you meant to say officer, even though CIC training is completey different than any training in the forces, they still hold a commision from the Queen, and therefore 'outrank' any NCO if that's how you want to look at it.
If I were the soldier in the GGFG, I would politley tell the WO that my time off duty is my own, and none of his business.
Even though a large majority of ppl in the forces thinks cadets is a waste of money, and a bunch of 'pansies', here at RMC, at least 45% of my flight alone has previous cadet experience.
Cadets is fulfilling its role at a recruiting tool....there aren't exactly hoards of ppl lined up outside recruiting centres.
