Somewhat ambiguous IMO but I know what you mean...its the way words such as these can be twisted that don't see things the same way you and I do.

General said:You can usually tell the difference on uniform - and that one group looks like kids and one group looks like adults ..
Eye In The Sky said:Sorry but...most BMQ courses look like kids. I've taught them. The one on ground here now? Kids. They look like kids.

Overwatch Downunder said:Perhaps this patch system should be considered by DND to identify cadets form service members.
lucia_engel said:Actually the cadet unit badge and the rank epauletts already have the word CADET on them.
But as many have said. The civilians aren't confusing Reserves with cadets, they thought greenjacket was a cadet most likely due to his youthful look.
gwp said:The poster who said because you are young ... has it nailed.
For example:
Right now there are 70 candidates on the Raven Aboriginal Youth Employment Program. Of the 70, less than a dozen are over 19. The average age is 17.
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.BinRat55 said:Actually, even though the cadet's uniforms differ GREATLY from ours, the CIC's (cadet instructors) do not. They wear exactly what we reg and res wear.
Army Cadets wear a large patch with a maple leaf that says RCAC.Also, to the poster who mentioned that the flashes had "cadet" on them - some do, some don't. Depends on the unit, corps or sqn.
