Talk:Royal Canadian Army Cadets

message: Basically, until you're at a Corporal (awaiting promotion to M/Cpl), promotions are generally guaranteed (assuming you complete your star level) and don't require a recommendation. ShdSlyr2 (talk) 05:53, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ranks to Corporal 

message: I did not know that the army cadets used the same rank insignia as the regular forces.  I thought the ranks were red.  Also, I did not know that cadets had the rank of master corporal.  
Also, when I was in the cadets during the late 70's, some units also use red shoulder bars for officer ranks.  
Cheers from a former cadet and militiamen.  WIKIPEDIAVI 06:36, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

message: A bit too much POV, but I've preserved the original version here.<BR>
"Although $160 million may seem like an ungodly sum to be spent on a youth program benefiting relatively few people, it is done so because the Cadet program is possibly the most important recruiting element for the Canadian Armed Forces. 
Joining the Canadian Forces after completing Cadets is not mandatory, though some cadets choose to join anyway."  ... ColtsScore 02:19, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

message: The part on MWO appointments are a bit unclear...
"there must be a vacancy on the corps MWO establishment - one per squadron"
Does this mean that there's only one MWO per corps? Just curious as my corps has 3.
Cheers,

message: Will be tossing up reformatted (no real content changes, just organization, appearance) pages for all three cadet elements, as well as the CIC and any sub-pages (i.e. Cadets Canada) off of my user page, for consideration. If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to pass 'em along! I'll post the links once I'm done. Quadra 17:01, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Just to double-check, from the name, it would appear that the original Sea Cadet units were in some way associated with the Boy's Brigades... or was the Navy League just ripping off the early Army Cadet program's name? Quadra 04:28, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

message: First of all, I don't think the text at the bottom of each image saying the rank's name is needed there, and I think it should be cropped out. Also, aren't master corporals called "maitre-caporal" or something like that in French? --Jordan Elder talk 18:19, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Lifted the French version of master corporal from the regulations... as for the cropping, sounds like a great idea - if you like, the Royal Canadian Air Cadets article needs the same treatment; just be sure to add the requisite information (French and English) to the pic's own page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Quadra (talk • contribs) 19:20, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As for master corporal in French, it is caporal-chef. I tried the cropping on the private rank image, but for some reason, I got a squashed image, but I'll try again. Jordan Elder talk 02:42, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

message: The second lowest rank is shown as Lance Corporal. The rank is actually Private in the RCAC.  24.235.232.11 (talk) 01:53, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Wrong! Some corps have it as Private (like mine), some as Lance Corporal (PPCLI, but I think this one's best), and some as Trooper. 70.67.14.234 (talk) 01:29, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: There is a chart that specifies what name for that rank is to be used depending on the corps affiliation (artillery, engineer, infantry, etc).  Private can be used if there is a specific tradition with the affiliated unit (not a corps tradition - an AfU tradition) but LCpl is the default.  CU L8R AV8R ...

thread_title:  It is Not Lance Corporal

message: Is fieldcraft no longer taught? My star manuals (and my Master Cadet Handbook) all have fieldcraft POS, and we were instructed in fieldcraft from green star onward. Has fieldcraft been removed? If so, when and why? 69.60.237.4 (talk) 17:25, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Areas Of Instruction 

message: There appears to be some serious confusion with regards to the division of ranks.  Currently the groups are Junior Cadets, Non-Commissioned Officers and Warrant Officers.  The person who did this is misinformed.
Non-Commissioned Officers are divided into 2 groups:  Junior (Cpl & MCpl) and Senior (Sgt).  Warrant Officers are WO, MWO and CWO.  Other Ranks are Cadet and LCpl/Pte.
If you want to go the Non-Commissioned Member way, then they are divided into two groups:  Junior (Cdt,Pte/LCpl, Cpl & MCpl) and Senior (Sgt, WO, MWO & CWO)
My suggestion:  Pick a style and go with it.

message: As of earlier this year, new uniforms are not being issued due to funding and contract issues and this will stay true until June (not sure if this date is correct). If someone wants to research this, it seems to me like something that should be in this article. I, regrettably, don't have the time.
