I grew up in Canada, and when I was a kid we had something called cadets. I was an Army cadet, infantry, and our cadet corp had to Reg forces group to call daddy. I was in the 526 Winnipeg Grennadiers - basicly a parade corp. Red berets and all.

Anyway, when I was a kid I did drill, went on excesizes with the reserves and got to use 7.62 and 5.61 mm rifles on the range. We went to camps where we ran 2 mles in the morning before breakfats and we had it hard.

Now a days, kids in Cadets, have to be treated nice, and no laps, and they can only shoot .22 calibers now. Between X-box, and the latest fast food, kids are turning into useless blobs!!
