British cadets have to pay to join cadets and it's fairly expensive from what I've heard. However, they do get to do more exciting things than us. So, do you think Canadian cadets should pay, too (no money, no funny)?
Crazy_Eyes said:No, people shouldn't have to pay, it's an oppurtunity(sp?) for young kids to get involved in something and do things they might not otherwise have the chance, or money to do, cadets should remain free.
Hutch, please read the initial post, if you do, you will notice that the question is not paying the cadet, but the cadet paying to attend.-Hutch- said:allot of people get there comunity service hours through cadets. if you were to pay cadet than they would not get those hours. also don't you think that it may also make them not want to go to camp as much. i know a lot of people that look forward to camp because you get money and you get to have fun at the same time.
also if you were to pay cadets than the cadet program would be far worse because they would have to take money out of our training to pay the cadets.

Big Bad John said:That is horrible! I know that the Marines support 7 Corps. 45 Cdo passed around the hat two or three times a year for the Cadets. Some of the lads volunteered their time.
