Talk:Officer cadet

message: Agree They are both essentially the same thing - nomenclature and other minor differences apart.  It also appears that Officer Candidate is a US term only which could quite easily be accomodated in the Officer Cadet article.  Clarity would seem to demand one concise and clear article, rather than have hundreds of other articles concerning the specifics of a particular nations armed forces.--jrleighton 05:24, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

message: i have deleted this reference. there are no midshipmen in the usmc. midshipmen may receive a marine corps commission upon graduation; while midshipmen, they are in the NAVY! marine corps officer candidates are called officer candidates, or, colloquially, TURDS, (trainee under recruit discipline).of course, MARINE is also an acronym: muscles are required,intelligence not essential.Toyokuni3 (talk) 04:39, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Subordinate Officer only contains information about Canada, and most of the information is duplicated from the entry on this page.  The information could be put in a section called Subordinate officer, or simply merged into the Canada section.Kirk (talk) 18:32, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

message: This article is too wordy for a page with such contents. It would be more appropriate to have pictures of the rank insignias than to just describe them with words. Shovonma17 (talk) 04:09, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Staff Cadet (RMC-Duntroon, Australia Officer Cadet equivalent) is the rank that appears on military identification, pay slips, paperwork and computer systems for all members of the Corps of Staff Cadets at RMC. Can someone confirm that SCDT isn't a real rank?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.187.141.229 (talk) 13:00, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

message: The CF Manual of Drill and Ceremonial does not include OCdts/NCdts in the list of personnel entitled to salutes (unless they are the deceased in a military funeral).  Also, they are not entitled to courtesy salutes as defined in the drill manual.  If COs or RSMs are directing that they be saluted, they are doing so without authorization.  I am deleting that sentence in the article. CU L8R AV8R ... J-P (talk) 13:54, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

message: Looking to make corrections to US Air Force Academy, as some information is no longer current.
I've been shut down in the past on edits to USAFA-related pages on the basis that the information is not "verifiable" even though I am a current cadet.
Need advice here. Crymsonwynters (talk) 03:32, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: While not a USAFA Cadet myself, I do know about the fact that the AFCWI 36-3501: CADET STANDARDS AND DUTIES is publicly online. Wikipedia relies on references to stay correct. So utilize this to back up the USAFA-related things. hope this helps. FXPR (talk) 11:29, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

message: The correct term for people attending USAF Officer Training School (OTS) is not cadet but Officer Trainee according to OTSMAN 36-2604: OFFICER TRAINEE OPERATING PROCEDURES(Link is CAO 1 OCT 2023). My proposition is keeping the mention of OTS in this page, but similar to the Midshipman debate, mention that the correct term is "Officer Trainee". FXPR (talk) 11:35, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
