Was I the youngest instructor ever in the Armed Forces?

Although they do indeed wear a comission they only have authority limited to the cadet world.

That's incorrect.  There is no such limitation specific to CIC officers.

You are correct, however

I hope we can all agree that no officer, regardless of branch or component, should go around giving unnecessary orders just for the sheer pleasure of it.

I would agree with that

Well said, a commission is a commission regardless of branch and comes with the same responsibility (including the responsibility not to abuse those powers) for any CF officer.

Hello Gramps, hope you are having a most pleasant evening.

I beg to differ, we used to have a CIC LT, on CL B 'A' at Sask Dist HQ, acting as a Fin O, was there for years, and had nothing to do with any Cadet Corps Unit.

Cheers, and beers,

Humbly yours,

OWDU

About 4 to 5 years ago, the rules were changed, (or were enforced), so that CIC officers were only employed with Cadets or activities related to Cadets.

OWDU, BC Old Guy has it correct ...

Here's a link to the CANFORGEN in another thread. This CANFORGEN governs if/when/where/how RegF and PRes CO's are authorized to employ CIC officers:
