Branch Identification
As a branch of the Canadian Forces, members of the Cadet Instructors Cadre wear the Distinct Environment Uniforms (DEU) of the navy, army, and air force representing their leadership of the Royal Canadian Sea, Army or Air Cadets. As required they wear the base/garrison, field and working uniforms - Naval Combat Dress (NCD) for sea, CADPAT combat uniform for army or air, or flight suit.
CIC officers are issued branch accoutrements upon enrolment that include elementally specific component cap badges (sea, land and air) a maple leaf with an anchor, crossed broad swords or eagle in the centre. Army CIC officers wear CIC-Land collar insignia and CIC shoulder titles, depending on the order of dress being worn. CIC officers may wear cadet power or glider pilot wings or Canadian Forces parachute wings earned while a cadet. CIC officers of any element and other branch officers training cadets who earned equivalent civilian flying qualifications may be authorized to wear "Cadet" wings while actively engaged as a pilot in air cadet flying or gliding operations. Members with former Regular Force or Primary Reserve Service continue to wear service qualifications such as flying qualifications (i.e. pilot, navigator,etc.), parachute wings, diver, submariner dolphins and the sea service badge.

Famous quotes containing the word branch:
“In communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticize after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, shepherd or critic.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
