I thought cadet meant the same thing in every country. But even within the military this isn't the case. Many countries use the term differently.

In Australia, a "Cadet" is a person aged between 13 and 20 who is a member of the Australian Defence Force Cadets (ADFC). The ADFC is comprised of the Australian Navy Cadets (ANC), the Australian Army Cadets (AAC), and the Australian Air Force Cadets (AAFC). In Canada, the term "cadet" refers to either an officer in training, with the official rank names as Officer Cadet for the Air Force and Army and Naval Cadet for the Navy. Also, the term Cadet can relate to the subdepartment of the Department of National Defence (DND), the Cadets Canada movement. This consists of Sea Cadets, Army Cadets and Air Cadets in units across Canada. In Commonwealth countries, including United Kingdom, a cadet is a member of one of the cadet forces. In Germany, the rank Cadet (German: Seekadett) only exists in the German Navy for officers in training. In the Army and the Luftwaffe, officers in training usually have the rank of a Fahnenjunker or Ensign (German: Fähnrich) before they are promoted into the rank of a Lieutenant. In Ireland, Cadet is a pupil of the Military College, which carries out officer training for the Air Corps, Army and Naval Service. Training takes 2 years and the Cadets are split into Senior and Junior Grades and Classes. In Norway, "cadet" is a pupil of the "Krigsskolen", of the schools of either the Army, the Navy, or to the Air Force educating commanding officers. Today the NCOs unfortunately hold their ranks at the Military Academy. In the United Kingdom cadets are: the Combined Cadet Force, the Sea Cadets, Army Cadets and the Air Training Corps. In the United States, cadet refers to an officer in training. Students at the United States Military Academy, the United States Air Force Academy, and the United States Coast Guard Academy are referred to as "cadets" and members of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps and the Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps programs of the same uniformed services are also referred to as cadets. |
