same boots from their parade uniform on their C-5 dress (if they are Multipurpose Boots). The tunic has two drawstrings; one at the hem and one at the waist to give the tunic a form fitting appearance. The trousers are to be bloused above the boot with blousing bands, or with the included drawstrings at the bottom of each pant leg. Rank structure Note: Cadet insignia are distinguished from their Canadian Armed Forces counterparts through the inclusion of "CADET" written at the bottom of the slip-on (not shown below). *Individual corps may have their own local requirements for promotions, in addition to the national standards (shown above). The second rank of "Lance Corporal", formerly "Private", was changed in January 2010, due to the French translation "Soldat" being the word "Soldier". If an Army Cadet Corps has an affiliation with a unit of the Canadian Army that traditionally has different titles for the Ranks of "Private", "Corporal", and "Master Corporal", then they are then entitled to make use of those alternative titles for the ranks of "Lance Corporal", "Corporal, and "Master Corporal" in their units as well. In the guard regiments, warrant officers are known as "colour sergeants" and second lieutenants are known as "ensigns", although the latter does not exist in the RCAC program. Honours and awards The Canadian Cadet Movement maintains its own Honours and Awards system. Cadets may be awarded these based on criteria including bravery, citizenship, service, outstanding performance on a summer training course, and more. In addition, cadets may also wear, on their uniform, any orders, decorations, and medals of Canada they have been awarded. Within the system, there are several honours and awards common to all three cadet elements and some that are unique to each. A cadet who transfers from one element to another may continue to wear any medals awarded from their previous service, but in general, army cadets may be eligible for the following eight honours and awards, and are in the order of precedence: See also Army Cadet Force Australian Army Cadets 2537 Battlefords Army Cadets References External links Canadian Cadet Organizations website RCAC Unit Directory Army Cadet League of Canada Royal Canadian Army Cadets History – Army Cadet League of Canada Military of Canada Army cadet organisations Canadian Cadet organizations Youth organizations based in Canada
