The US, and other countries, has no equivalent cadet program to ours and yet they seem to do OK with recruiting.

Just sayin'

You'd free up a lot of NIS's time if you stood down the Cadet program.

Still better than the general population

In fiscal year 2025/26, the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) enrolled 7,310 new Regular Force members, a 10-year high. While the CAF is growing, the percentage of the overall population (roughly 41 million) that joins annually is very small, representing less than \(0.02\%\) of the total population in recent recruiting years.

There is a cohort of people who despise the cadet programme, and look for any way to justify ending it. Nothing short of 100% of all cadets becoming JTF assaulters will convicne them that the programme is worth the cost.
