Are sea cadets and marine cadets different?

[MrJimmyboy1972]

dont worry about the nationality thing. i served as a boy drummer (15yrs old) 15th (scottish) battalion The Parachute Regt TA, regular with the Royal Signals and the Military Police. a nice wee mixture.

@ultradumbass That's a great idea, they should do something like that. I tried to get into The Marine Military Academy high school, but it cost too much, so I joined the sea cadets.

@ocdfamily if they taught all the subjects i suggested this would be like a new school curriculum. the government should have the religious school boards and public school boards as options but they should open a third school board for high school students who wish to pursue in a career that is military related. they would learn all the subjects i listed below plus learn military commands and drill and go camping and learn about nature. in the end they'd be smarter than public kids.

@ultradumbass our division already teaches ALL that stuff.

@ocdfamily they need to make an organisation that is a bit like scouts and cadets at the same time. in canada a good uniform would be dressing kids up like the rcmp with big red uniforms and cowboy style hats and make them learn everything from crp, science, math, military history, economics, engineering, medicine, foreign languages, geography etc. all these subjects are important for the military, this could be almost like a military school for juniors.

@ocdfamily Any division like that does not deserve to exist

[ocdfamily]

@ultradumbass Anything like that in my division is not tolerated, the officers and their kids would be disenrolled

@ocdfamily i heard that since the time i left the officers got replaced because it got too corrupt, the cadets there now are saying they get more activities such as swimming classes etc. but i still haven't forgiven the corp. in fact i still got my uniform in my house. i'll give it back when i want to. they owe me many certificates such as my sailing and promotions they never gave to me so i am in no hurry to go out of my way to satisfy them.

@ocdfamily my sea cadet corps was massive, we had 1 CO, 1 XO, about 20 officers, about 10 regular army recruits and about 200 regular cadets. if you were a family member of an officer or best friends with an officer's kid it was paradise. you were invited to free parties (which came from our fundraisng) and the parties were only for the kids of officers and their friends, they went sailing, scuba diving, traveling, target shooting while the "nobodies" cleaned up after them.
