With 'youth' being in the name of the program, I wouldn't expect a great deal to be over 19.

gwp said:That is because the the CIC is a branch of the Canadian Forces and a sub-component of the CF Reserve. Its members are commissioned officers of the Canadian Forces with the same responsibility and direction from the sovereign to do their duty (within their area of employment) as any other member of the CF.
The Cadet Instructor Cadre is the largest officer occupation in the Canadian Forces and will celebrate its centennial in 2009. It is the corps of CF personnel that deliveres and supervises the cadet program in Canada as directed by the National Defence Act.
Army Cadets wear a large patch with a maple leaf that says RCAC.
The Air and Sea Cadet Shoulder Flash both say Royal Canadian xxx Cadets.
It's no different than expecting individuals to know the difference between the PPCLI and the Medical Branch. People just don't pay attention to the detail.

You can usually tell the difference on uniform - and that one group looks like kids and one group looks like adults ..

There are an equal number of pictures of cadets looking as professional as any other uniformed body.AlphaQup said:Thanks.
It is pretty hard to tell a slovenly RegF or PRes member from a properly turned out member of the CIC.George Wallace said:Not to start this up again, but it is a problem caused by the lack of "Dress and Deportment" of some individuals, to include haircuts and shaving, not just the way they wear a uniform, that has created many of the problems that this topic is addressing.

Yes, you can see those solvenly ones every day on bases and in armouries and divisions across this country. But the RSMs and CPOS will hunt them down, let the well turned out go and square off the others. It's an equal opportunity military when it comes to solvenliness.George Wallace said:Is there such an animal? I thought it was a myth/urban legend. ;D
Well, then take the time to square them off in a friendly manner. You are a member of the CF, they are a member of the CF .. dress regs apply equally. Any one regardless of the component of the CF putting on the suit -- better look the part and all have an equal stake in looking after and representing the institution. That applies to Honouraries as well ... a significant number of whom are less than direct entries.MedTech said:I haven't met that many properly turned out CIC officers. I kid you not. The ones that I have seen that are quite nicely turned out, also turned out to be ex RegF or PRes members, with the minority as CIC direct entries.
MedTech said:I do, but it's kind of tough no matter how politely to tell a Maj or even a Lt that they look like... Crap.
Yup, that slovenly RegF or PRes member does make the well turned out colleague of the CF CIC look bad. Particularly when they won't listen ... to anyone.George Wallace said:Or to get a haircut, or sometimes to shave. Even if of equal rank, some don't listen, or worse tell you where to go. Now that is some of what I have memories of. Has it biased me? Of course. Do all fall into the same boat? Of course not, but it is the "one rotten apple spoils the whole barrel" syndrome.
