Sorry to post so late, seeing how this thread is kind of going another direction, but as it isn't closed yet....

Cadets over the years progresssivley receeds from its former structure. As for tactical training, it is possible for some cadets to get real CF lessons taught to them. I have witnessed some cadets from Ottawa, located right across the road from NDHQ learn all sorts of CF lessons, As well it depends on the regiment. The reserve regiment I was a part of was not very reputable, and isolated. The cadets would go on FTX's with the unit, though not carrying weapons, they would take part. Not to say that Cadets is anyway a springboard to being 'tactical' As I think this was rare, and would more likely happen many, many years ago. For someone to recently claim to have tactical experience due to cadets may be a product of hopeful imagination. Not to bash Cadets, as in the regiment I was with, the city in which it was located was full of scum, abusive parents etc. The cadet corps turned these kids around, and sent most of them to the military or the regiment in which they were affiliated. As for the officers, a few were former military soldiers from the CF and one from a foreign military. So, I guess it was possible for cadets on the rarest of occasions, and in an extremely small number to actually learn something about soldiering, however slight. However depending on the age of the original poster... I am guessing his 'tactical training' will have no bearing on his ability to play airsoft, should he ever.

As for "McAirborne" ..... Enough has already been said and I'm glad it has..
