The current cadet system was NEVER designed to form new recruits. The old Boys Brigades and whatnot were, but cadets as we know it (from after WW2 on) was never designed with that as the primary idea.
Again, wrong. Cadets does not produce recruits for the CF. Yes, they do. It's in their primary roles/purpose.
Cadets should NEVER be issued pyro, ever. The idea scares me. Agreed, but not to many things scare me

definitely NOT worth the funding we put into it.
MJP said:I think the crossover is better than just small, exact numbers are hard to pin down though. Most people don't talk about their cadet experiences (usually) and its not like they fill out a form or have some kind of special ID. Most people I know with cadet experience have said it has done nothing but help them in their military careers.
BTW sorry Card no LAVs downtown today or tomorrow we took that out of the training for us. Get back to work.

sheikyerbouti said:P.S. Did the procedures change with respect to a cadet reporting potential misdoings by their colleagues or their superiors? My understanding was that a cadet was now encouraged to speak up as opposed to the old way of beating the rat into submission or quietly asking the malfeasant to resign before holy hell broke loose, or even better, letting it lie for decades only to reappear in the form of some kiddy fiddling lawsuit.

Are you saying that cadets is used to produce soldiers?Yes, we need little people too!
I would at one time agree with you, but after getting berated
at the highest level of officers once at Blackdown for referring to
the cadets as "soldiers".. I was quickly informed of their new doctrine.I'll remember that for next year, and see if I get corrected...LOL
And the rate of cadets that cross into regs or res I heard was very small, Actually , I was 6', 240lbs at 12yrs
definitely NOT worth the funding we put into it. But all the Army guy stuff is cool when your 12!
But ... I still love you.. Red light....you! I told you I would hook you up with some Nurses if you need. ;D

If someone could help me out with this it would be greatly appreciated ???
