Was I the youngest instructor ever in the Armed Forces?

Hey, hold your horses, here, darling! I second your proposition of posting pics,
which mean they will be public, so viewable by everyone, including me, and you will be the judge,
meaning you will be able to receive bribes discreetly  :-* !

Well technically you only inherited the title after I retired 8)

As for 19 year old M/Cpls I had a few RNTP types who fit that bill in my company in the late 1980's. Some of them taught Tess.

Actually that's right, I was taught by the first batch out of that course, and some of those guys joined when I did, or a few months prior!

Seen & known. Still not appropriate. Public "bashing", in this case, is not professional.

And remember if you have an issue with a post there is always the Report to Moderator button at the bottom right hand corner of each and every post. We stress that and a lot still do not get it.

I can't believe the criticism & negative responses to this question, especially from one of the moderators, namely "CDN AVIATOR". If you can't provide positive re-inforcement, or constructive criticism, then keep your hands off the key board.

Ouch!

Ouch! isn't the word for it.  "Out of line" may be more in line with my opinion, but this discussion of Walt is totally derailing the topic, so let's drop Walt and continue with the original topic.

Don't cadets instruct each other in drill and other subjects?  That would put many of them below the 18 YOA line...

Cadet's aren't soldiers so they don't count

 

[Greymatters]

Hmmm...  I recall someone on this site citing an example of an officer in Cadets being able to give orders to reg force NCMs that they outrank, so technically they are the same as soldiers...

CIC and cadets are 2 different things.

There's a bit of confusion here.

Today, the officers in the cadet programme are all CF officers with the same authority as any other CF officer.

Until the fairly recent past, there were officer ranks among the cadets themselves in the army cadets (in addition to the CF officers).  The cadet officers did not have any authority over CF members of any rank.  Except for a few closed cadet units (those at private schools, e.g.) which play by some rules not in effect for the whole cadet programme there are no cadet officer ranks anymore.

 

[Greymatters]

I think it was referring to an event prior to 1993 when the Cadet officer ranks were removed?  Ah, foggy memory on that one...

 

[Deleted member 9665]

I have been in contact with the cadet world since I was 13 in 1987, and at this point there were no "cadet" officer.


there CIC nothing more as for officers.

 

[Fishbone Jones]

When I was with Cadets in the 60's, senior cadets acted as officers, and wore the rank. They held no commission. It was more a parade position than anything else, IIRC.

 

[Franko]

The Cadet Officer ranks (red insignia vice gold) were being phased out Canada wide from 85-88.

Some corps got on the bandwagon faster than others.

Although they do indeed wear a comission they only have authority limited to the cadet world.
