The Chief of Defence Force can also decide what cadet officers and members get paid. You can get clothing, stores, and equipment. Members of the Armed Forces can help cadet forces. When Armed Forces members help cadet forces, they are on duty. The Chief of Defence Force decides how to tell people about the terms and conditions of service.
