And somehow Gunner doesn't offend but private does.... The program has been gutted over the past few years and replaced. It no longer looks like army cadets and infact wanted to move towards "adventurist expedition esque training vice "Army". The old style army cadets of the 80's-90's is no...

This should bring pride to all REAL members. Some people out there dream of being us. How pathetic is that!

Yup. CHANGES TO CADET RANK The following Bulletin is sent on behalf of LCol Christian Bergeron, D Cdts 4 (Program Delivery) and Senior Staff Officer - Army Cadets, Directorate of Cadets and Junior Canadian Rangers Greetings; Over the past months, discussions took place to consider a change of...

When asked a question and a response is "thats how we always did it" doesnt make something correct. Using terms such as " I seen it done this way" is nothing more than opinion. When a question is posed in the Cadet organisation many times people use examples as you did to validate something...

Recceguy is!  ;D

that right there made me shed a tear. This here above is what ALL CIC officers should be doing. Reference or it isnt real. This above is an opinion and nothing else until a reference is found or written. Thank you Bluefox;  this made my night. Keep it up; your youth program needs more of it.

Strict Guidelines such as this really annoy me because I know what it's going to turn/has turned into. Instead of the RCP1 being the only thing required (as it should be) to do this approved activity they will now use this to get the corp CO's writing memorandums in addition to the RCP1 for...

You are 100% correct. And I'm glad to hear good stories coming out from det's. Other ACA's I've had the privilege to meet have expressed much of the same opinion as I. In the det I worked 90% if not 100% of the CIC were all ex cadets who re rolled into the CIC when they aged out and have made...

Cheer's. I'm much the same in real life. Slightly bitter with a low tolerance for B/S, failure; and being mission orientated in all I do. Read past the anger in the first post and I'm sure most agree with me; most CIC did in real life anyway. Minus those who I will now refer to as "DeadDet...

Contrary to what you think I have utmost respect for many (95% of those I've met) of the CO's and staff doing things to support their communities youth. Infact much of my "hate" is how many issues ACO's and Det's cause for CO's who frankly don't have the time to waste with pointless...

A RSM and SSM who doesn't know the dress regs? Lot's of weird wonderful stuff happens in the army...but that aint one of em! ;D

I'll tell you how. It's called asking WHERE IT IS WRITTEN. This causes little empires in the CIC to crumble as they blow fish kisses at you on a policy that doesn't exist and runs on rumors and someones opinion. I have no doubt you were TOLD. That seems to be the final word coming out of many...

I know you guys like pretending everything is a complicated mess; however if your ACA/ACO office is willing to do some leg work they can get pretty well any grey area approved. It's easier to deny anything that doesn't have CATO or not and most likely that is what the ACO's will go with. We had...

And don't you get a budget to replace the uniform each year for your numbers through logistic corp? While I only spent a short amount of time inside the world of a cadet det each new recruit was given points that their supply O could order a complete uniform for them. Infact our det had a...

In other news man get promoted to Mcpl.

Why wait? if you want to try the activity push it forward to your det for approval. They will be in the know if it's approved or not. I got a little chuckle when I seen it's been finally approved. I did a risk assessment and a full report and forwarded it up after having one corp denied from...

The CIC Gestapo Corp RC (4555) know where you live. You can now kiss your military career good bye. In all seriousness drop it off in the fall. The cadets have nothing to do with the forces minus pay for adult volunteers for your youth program.

I've been awaiting surgery on my leg since tour in 08. I would gladly pay someone right now to just fix it so I could lead a more productive life. Unfortunately I am stocked on a list with every person in the province requiring orthopedic surgery. I've been told another year at least to even see...

They still put a Stryker brigade where we had less than 600 men. A few more teeth.

"Another bone of contention raised by the Americans was Canada’s woeful teeth-to-tail ratio for those troops actually deployed in theatre. According to the book, barely 600 Canadians out of a contingent of 2,830 were sent on combat missions outside the wire. The rest of our soldiers presumably...
