[edit] Cadets

I removed this section to the talk page:

In cadet contingents the use and possession of No. 2 (full) dress is very limited. As a consequence many contingents have a stock of dress with a variety of ranks, and dress is often issued by fitting size rather than rank. As a consequence, Junior Non-Commissioned Officers (JNCOs) and regular cadets may well come into the possession of dress above their rank. Rank of course is never conferred upon the cadet in these situations. An actual Sergeant wears a red sash with his dress, whilst those who aren't actually of the Sergeant rank will not wear the sash. This in effect 'makes' them Lance Sergeant to the observer, even though they are not and the rank is otherwise unrecognised in cadet contingents, with the normal ranks of Corporal and Sergeant used.

This paragraph seems very confused. Also, when I was in the CCF, Lance Sergeant was a rank which was actually used, long after it had been discontinued (outside the Foot Guards) by the Regular Army. -- Necrothesp 19:39, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
