Lil_T said:Is it possible to be CIC AND a member of the RegF or PRes at the same time? What I mean is, is it allowed?
gwp said:It is neither allowed or a conflict because it is simply not possible. All are members of the Canadian Forces; either the Regular Force or the Reserve Force. The Reserve Force is comprised of the sub-components PRes, CIC, Rangers, and Supplementary Reserve. Regular Force.
yada, yada, yada............

With the recent re-naming of the CIC Sub-Component to Cadet Organization, Administration and Training Service (COATS) it is very clear that it is neither a conflict or permitted as the condition is impossible to create. A person enrols in the CF Reg Force or Reserve Force. It is impossible be classified into two different branches or two different occupations simultaneously.Kyle Burrows said:I think what GWP is saying is that it isn't a conflict of interest in the sense of task or job. Many PRes and RegF members volunteer with cadet corps.
It is neither possible or allowed ... it is impossible...therefore not a conflict.Is it possible to be CIC (Now COATS) AND a member of the RegF or PRes at the same time? What I mean is, is it allowed?
Ok, so I was trying to play devil's advocate and see things in a different perspective and provide Lil_T with some more information. The key word I used was volunteer. But thanks.gwp said:With the recent re-naming of the CIC Sub-Component to Cadet Organization, Administration and Training Service (COATS) it is very clear that it is neither a conflict or permitted as the condition is impossible to create.

The original question was It is neither possible or allowed ... it is impossible...therefore not a conflict.

If it was allowed, it would be a conflict of interest. As it is not allowed, the conflict of interest is prevented. So yes, being a member of the CIC and another component would be a conflict of interest if it were possible.
In short, George is correct, and GWP is also correct. However, some of us feel the need to be ignoramuses just to hear ourselves speak repeatedly.
