Which of the following is NOT a requirement to join the CCO?

The requirement of having prior military experience is not necessary to join the CCO (Cadet Instructors Cadre). The CCO focuses on youth and community engagement, and it is open to individuals who may not have a military background but demonstrate the desire to work with cadets and contribute positively to the program. The emphasis is placed on a passion for youth development, leadership skills, and a commitment to the cadet program rather than military experience, allowing a broader range of candidates to participate and serve effectively.

In contrast, being a Canadian citizen, passing a medical examination, and meeting age eligibility criteria are essential requirements that ensure all candidates meet the necessary standards for health, legality, and suitability for the program.
