Corps without an RSM.

When i was a private. my favorite BSM left (aged out) and den came to our DSM which is also one of my favorites. The last one is my brother, the RSM! I dont know. He can be really strict in cadets but at home really nice.

I fail to see what this has to do with the thread

PS spelling and grammar

Common misconception.  This is the case in the Canadian Forces, yes.  But within the Canadian Cadet Movement there is a Cade Administrative Training Order (CATO) that dictates rank prerequisites for appointments.  Specifically, CATO 40-03, "Promotion Prerequisites and Cadet Corps Appointments".

For a cadet to be an RSM, he or she must first be a CWO.

There has been fairly substatial discussion of this CATO, either here or on CadetWorld? Anyways the CATO in it's literal form is exactly what you have posted; however  I know in RSCU (P) the conclusion has been that this does not determine a Cadet's position as it is far too restricting. Imagine a new LHQ that could only haveSecComds! LOL. I am not sure if this policy of not following policy is supported by D Cdts, although RSCU (P) is generally quite good at that.
