The commissioning scroll says nothing about regiment, branch, terms of reference, or job discription. It is not a qualification, it is not a graduation certificate. It is an understanding that you can be trusted to carry out the direction of the soverign to look after people up and down the chain of command and do your duty. Duty has nothing to do with TOR or affiliation. It has to do with doing the right thing.
That direction is the same whether you are a band officer, a medical officer, infanteer, armoured, mars officer, mareng, pilot, padre, or personnel officer .. RegF, PRes, CIC, SupRes .. makes no difference. All occupations are to be valued.
If you have difficulty with this line of presentation, take it up with the General and Flag Officers who use similar words upon presenting commissioning scrolls to a body of troops representing a variety of different branches.
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.
BinRat55 said:I once witness a young 2Lt in DEU. Her own concoction of DEU, anyway -- sneakers, a civi pattern white shirt and no head dress. I confronted this abomination AWAY from any cadet and WITH her CO. There was no excuse other than "all the pieces didn't fit!!" I asked the CO if the LT could be excused to change into appropriate civilian attire. She was. I took her name, S/N and corps and when I got back to base, I ordered her new "parts".
Snakedoc said:Agree with Blackadder1916, top picture are air cadets judging from epaulettes, and bottom are either reg force or reserve (but not in proper uniform judging by missing badges and identifiers).

Blackadder1916 said:From the use of silver (white) insignia on the epaulets of the blue flying suits, I would surmise that all in the upper photo are Air Cadets. The one individual wearing an Air Cadet Pilot Badge also has silver rank insignia so he is probably not CIC (rank insignia would be gold). There are a few whose shoulders are not visible or have no insignia there. If the 'no insignia' pers are not cadets, but in the CF (CIC) , their dress is incorrect. The two young men in the bottom photo are both in the Canadian Forces; it doesn't matter whether they are regular or reserve, they both are incorrect in their dress.

Land force dress isn't my strong suit, but I think by missing their name-tags (as appears to be the case) they are out of dress.
Thats my guess.
